LID:: June 2018 Release:: Day 2


Today is the second of three days of the Lil' Inker Designs June 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  Jen Carter's Blog! (Visit the Lil' Inker Design's Blog for the full link up.)



What's not to love about a crowd of smiley cats giving gifts?? Such a cute combo the Cat Hugs Stamp Set and Cat Hugs Die Set are! There are so many ways to decorate these kitties, but I chose to black heat emboss on kraft paper and added a bit of detail with Copic Markers (cheeks) and white gel pen. I then stamped, heat embossed, and Copic colored some of the accessories in this set. The die lets you cut out the top of the heads, and then you can also choose to cut out the individual hands as well, as I've done here. I finished the card by mounting the kitties onto some blue cardstock and stamped and heat embossed a sentiment, also from the Cat Hugs Stamp Set.


This next card was super fun to create as well, and it quite possibly is due to the cuteness of the Super Coffee Die and Stamp Bundle. I started this card by stamping, coloring and die cutting the super hero coffee mug. I added the smiley face stamp as well, and then some eyeballs created from Nuvo Drops.


The next step was to stamp the sentiment included in the Super Coffee Die and Stamp Bundle. I die cut the panel from Stitched Mats: Long and Skinny Rectangles. I also die cut from bright yellow cardstock some bright rays from the Wrappers Delight: Sunburst Die. All of the elements were adhered to a bright blue card base.



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