LID:: January 2018 Release:: Day 1

Today is the first of three days of the Lil' Inker Designs January 2018 Release Showcase... Once again, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring new stamps and dies... it is going to be one fantastic year for LID! 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 project features the the super elegant Love and Honey Stamp Set and coordinating Love and Honey Hearts Dies. I wanted to showcase how this set can be used outside of Valentine's Day, so I created a wedding or anniversary card! Just think how it can be customized to the color of the recipient's wedding colors!

I started by stamping the large heart image onto a colored card base with coordinating ink, then the large heart/flower image onto white paper and heat embossed with silver. I colored with Zigs and splattered some light paint across the image. I then used the die cuts to cut the image out, adhering it with dimensional adhesive onto the card base. I finished the card with a previously released word die, Doodled Love Word Die.

For this next card, I wanted to showcase a tried and true Valentine's, but a masculine version! You'll see no pink or red on this one either, but the design can be easily changed up to use those colors and it would be so pretty! I die cut a circle out of kraft and back mat out of cardstock. Before adhering them to a white card base, I die cut the gorgeous Love You More Than Words Script Heart Die from the kraft. I covered the circle with a thin layer of Nuvo Pearlescent Mouse, and adhered the die cut back into the kraft circle.

Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my two projects today:
