I had a lot of fun picking out the colors of solid cardstock and making my first card for today. I was so easy and quick! I die cut five of the new Happy Birthday Border Die from white, three shades of green and black cardstock. These were adhered to a white card base in a layered, wonky fashion. A perfect masculine card! The Happy Birthday Border Die pairs wonderfully with Clean Lines: For the Guys Stamps and Dies as well! One could easily make this a touch more feminine too using many of the flower die sets available from Lil' Inker Designs as well, like the Perky Posies Die Set.
My next card also features a new product combined with a really fun, previously released stamp and die set. Still lovin' how Lil' Inker Designs products work so well together!
I started with a white card base and die cut a stitched rectangle frame from the Stitched Mats: Rectangles Die Set. I then die cut a sentiment panel from the new Boxed Up So Happy For You Greeting Die. (This die is perfect for shaker cards, by the way!) I finished the card with some ombre inked and die cut elephants and banner from Party Pachyderms Stamp Set and coordinating Party Pachyderm Dies. Such an easy and happy card today that really makes me smile, how about you?
Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my card today:
Also, the Stitched Gift Card Holder Die is back for a limited time! The size is slightly improved (a bit larger for more wiggle room and easier folding...). These are just perfect for your holiday gift-giving!
It is with pleasure that I get to send you to the talented Chrissy Larson's Blog as the next stop along the hop. I hope you get a chance to visit the Lil' Inker Design Store now as all the NEW JULY 2016 RELEASE products are already up at the store!
Don't forget to leave a comment along the each of the stops on the hop, as there are three $15 gift certificates up for grabs to the Lil' Inker Designs Store!

ReplyDeleteKaren, these cards are SO FUN!!!! I love how you showed that the Happy Birthday Border Die can be staggered and stacked on a card front! I don't know if I would have thought to have done that! Excellent example for customers!!! I also really love that you pulled out the Party Pachyderms Stamps for your second card. Great job!!!
