LID:: April 2018 Release:: Day 2

Today is the second 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! 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've got my FAVORITE project to showcase today from this release, although each and every product from this release is amazing! I really enjoy how Laura from Lil' Inker Designs really thinks about how well every item in the release coordinates together, but also can be used separately. I was so inspired by these April products, it was hard to put them down!

I created the above project with the new Spring Wreath Die Set. This set can be traditional, or modern like I've made it here. I started with a white square card base, scored lines on the front to use as a base to ground my wreath, that was die cut from black, light green and turquoise card stock from the Spring Wreath Die Set. I die cut a banner from the One Love Die Set, added a stamped sentiment from Friends Stamp Set and the word die included in the Spring Wreath Die Set.

I made another square card for this next project, and I'm pleased as a pickle on how it turned out! I started with celery green card stock and used the Dual Dotted Squares Dies to cut add detail to the edges of the card, and adhered this to a white card base. I thought it mimicked the details in the beautiful stamp I used for the focal point. I stamped Have a Nice Day in light green onto the panel, then slightly shifted the placement and stamped it with a dark green. This created a cool shadow effect. I finished the card by adding a few simple white gel pen details, placing dots in the natural areas of the stamps.

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