Welcome to the second day of the Lil' Inker Designs January 2017 Release Showcase...full of innovative, fun and beautiful items! Once again, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring new stamps and dies that are perfect for Valentine's Day! If you are following the hop, you should have arrived from the ever so talented Jessica's Blog! (Visit the Lil' Inker Design's Blog for the full link up.)
My first card today showcases a variety of new products. I started with a white cardbase and stamped the top portion of the heart from Filled Hearts to replicate a scalloped design. I then die cut the word Love and Hugs from Brush Script Valentine Word Dies and Kisses from Dual Stitched Hearts & Kisses Die Set. I also die cut one of the ampersands from the previously released All About Ampersand Die Set. A matching cardstock border finished the card.
My next card is a clean and simple Valentine, but the little details really make it special. This card was so easy to create, and would be an ample candidate for mass reproduction.
I started by dic cutting a scalloped heart from the Fringed Heart Die Set in hot pink cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment from the Love You More Stamp Set. I lined up a black cardstock panel with the hot pink panel and die cut using the pretty Be Mine Greeting Die. Then, I lined up these two panels with a white cardstock base and die cut the heart from the Dual Stitched Heart & Kisses Die Set to create a see through window.
Although the quality of the photo isn't the best, I wanted to she you a close up of the fun window that can be created with these three dies!
Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my two projects today:
