LID:: January 2018 Release:: Day 3


Welcome to the last day of the Lil' Inker Designs January 2018 Release Showcase...hasn't this hop been fabulous?! 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.)




I'm back again today with this Valentine's Day release featuring the products in an everyday way! I just adore this cute Galentine's Day Stamp Set and the fun images and sentiments it includes. I started this card with a white card base, and then chose some fun card stock panels for a background. This color block design was easily made using the previously released Color Block Die and Stitched Mats: Rectangles. I then stamped and paper pieced the fun purse/tote from Galentine's Day Stamp Set with the coordinating cardstock colors. I tucked this onto a die cut sentiment from the Thanks Word Die and finished with a stamped sentiment from Galentine's Day Stamp Set.


I always like to see how fabulous products can be used in more ways, other than its intended general use. Take, for instance, the Forever Heart Die Layer I. For this card, I turned it on its side and die cut out of green paper, layering over light yellow cardstock for a chicken scratch path. I stamped and colored the cute hens and chicks from the new Farm Love Stamp Set and die cut them out with the coordinating Farm Love Die Set. I then added a sentiment strip, stamped and heat embossed withe the perfect handwritten font included in Farm Love.

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

  25. The way you have used a previous release to go on this new release was amazing. I really wouldn't of thought of doing that. Thankyou for sharing that idea with us. The colour block die is unique and something I had missed in the last release but I clicked your link for it and it went straight to the die and ways.to use it. So thankful you added that link. Hubbys not to happy with you though as I obviously told him it's your fault for telling us (me) about it lol. Glad your in this Lil'inkers blog hop xxx 😀 xx
