Today is the first of three days of the Lil' Inker Designs April 2018 Release Showcase... Once again, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring new stamps and dies. I say this each time for the Lil' Inker Designs releases, but this one is the best yet! And, this month we are introducing a super sweet, extremely talented new design team member, Caly! 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.)
The Cover Up Die: Dotted Chevrons is the star of the show on my first project. I could not wait to fill the dots with a rainbow of Nuvo Drops. I first started with a white card base, then die cut a white panel from the Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangles and then the Cover Up Die: Dotted Chevrons. I adhered the panel to a white card base and filled each dot with Nuvo Drops in rainbow order. This took me about ten minutes, so easy and quick!
I finished the card with a panel cut from the interior of the new Shaker Tag Die Set and stamped a wonderful sentiment from Hand Drawn Happiness Stamps. (I also added some dark green Nuvo Drops to the leaves). The end result is a happy, rainbow card with wonderful, clean texture.

This release also includes a great graduation set too. The Grad Class 2018 Supplement is a perfection addition to Grad Class, and at a perfect price point as well. (Grad Class has been marked to $10 so both can be purchased for the price of a regularly marked stamp set!) I capitalized on the "Reach for the Stars" sentiment from the Grad Class 2018 Supplement Stamp Set and created a galaxy background. I paired it with a stamped cap from Grad Class. There are many sentiments from both sets that offer flexibility and creative freedom to make a fantastic graduation card.
Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my two projects today (affiliate links used):
