Lil' Inker Designs:: October 2018 Release:: Day 2


Welcome to the second of three days of the Lil' Inker Designs October 2018 Release Showcase... Once again, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring new stamps and dies. This release from Lil' Inker Designs is beautiful, cute and perfect all wrapped up in one, and perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas...really any occasion! 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.)


My first card today features the really cool Merry Ornaments Stamp Set! This set is perfect for mass producing, yet adding unique, quick touches so no two cards are the same (only if you want!). I started by stamping the main image in red ink, then added details with black ink, and then finished completing the ornament with the other stamps in the set. I added some flourishes from this same set and finished the card with inked edges. I die cut the panel with Stitched Mats: Squares and adhered it to a white card base. 


I have one more card that could easily be reproduced in bulk, but the details are outstanding! I started the above card with a white card base with blue watercolored ink. To the corners, I stamped and heat embossed the beautiful Classic Christmas Stamps, and embellished the berries with silver ink.


I finished the card by die cutting the absolutely stunning, bold greeting, Happy Holidays Word Die, from silver paper, and rounded one corner of the card.

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



It is with pleasure that I get to send you to the talented Kimberly Rendino, as the next stop along the hop. I hope you get a chance to visit the Lil' Inker Designs Store now as products are already up at the store!!
