LID:: April 2016 Release:: Day 3


Welcome back to the third and last day of the Lil' Inker Designs April 2016 Release!
As usual, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring innovative stamps and dies!
You should have arrived from 
Angel Rivera's Blog!(Stop by the Lil' Inkers Design Store Blog for more details and the hop order.)

Yesterday, I featured a card especially for the ladies in your life, today I have one for the guys! I created a fun shaker card featuring Clean Lines for the Guys Stamp Set and coordinating Clean Lines for the Guys Die Set. This set has simple, clean and utterly awesome automotive images and sentiments.


I created the shaker with the help of the Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles. The base of the shaker is aluminum foil, then I added a layer of fun foam, an acetate rectangle, my shaker items, and then a finished rectangle die cut. The shaker items are wrenches from Clean Lines for the Guys (simply colored with gray Copics and die cut!), die cut stars from Starry Sky Die and some glitter. I adhered the shaker piece to a white cardstock base, bordering the edges with a black die cut pieces. I used the Stitched Rechatnagels pieces to add a line of stitching before adhering these black pieces. Then I finished the card with a sentiment from Clean Lines for the Guys. I think it is a lot of fun!

And for my final card, I am showcasing the adorable Kite Flying Stamp Set and coordinating Kite Flying Dies, along with the innovated Fringed Scalloped Rectangles Dies!


Look at the fun dimension and interest with little work the the Fringed Scalloped Rectangles Dies adds! What I did was die cut the front side of the card base with the Fringed Scalloped Rectangles Dies, raised each of the scallops up just a bit, and then adhered a piece of orange carstock to the inside front of the card base, causing little peaks of orange! I then watercolored washed a panel, and then die cut and watercolored some items from Kite Flying and adhered them into a little scene.

Here are the product images of the new release items used on my cards today!
