LID:: October 2015 Release:: Day 2

Welcome back to the second day of the Lil' Inker Designs October Release! As usual, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring innovative stamps and dies! You should have arrived from Sarah Jay's Blog!

I went clean and simple again with my first card, but honestly, this Oh Deer Stamp Set is so amazing I wanted to let it shine! I die cut a square from Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Squares and stamped and colored the deer with colored pencils. I then added the stamped sentiment. I finished the card with another mat in red cardstock cut from Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Squares and adhered the finished artwork to a kraft cardstock base.

My second card today features a really neat and innovative holiday die set being released this month: Christmas Word Tag Die Trio, but I chose to feature it in an un-holiday fashion. I love getting multiple uses out of one die set, and this really fits the bill! (Think of using the HOPE word for Cancer cards, or the JOY word on baby cards!) I started by adhering a die cut sunburst from our Wrapper's Delight: Sunburst Die and then die cut the word WISH from the Christmas Word Tag Die Trio. Before adhering it to the built in sentiment panel on the Wrapper's Delight: Sunburst Die, I trimmed off the little loop tag. I die cut a pole from silver with the Sentiment Flag Additions Set and a banner from the Original Sentiment Flag Die which had stamped with a sentiment from the Quick Notes Stamp Set.

My third project today features an unbelievably cute Santa made from the new Make A Santa Die Cut Bundle.

This Make A Santa Die Cut Bundle was designed to coordinate with the Triangle Treat Holder Die (which is so cute in itself!) but I fashioned a Santa face onto the Stitched Gift & Note Card Holder Die for a little something different. It was so easy and simple to assemble! I finished the gift card holder with a cute coordinating sentiment from the Make A Santa Die Cut Bundle.

Your next stop today is the Chrissy Larson's Blog!
