LID:: January 2016 Release:: Day 3



Welcome back to the third and final day of the Lil' Inker Designs December Release! As usual, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring innovative stamps and dies, I hope you enjoyed this amazing release! You should have arrived from Amy Kolling's Blog!

Did you know that Lil' Inker Designs updated some of their stamp sets to match top selling dies? Take for instance, the fun Original Pinwheel Die and Mini Pinwheel Die. The coordinating stamp set, Pinwheel Sentiments, is absolutely perfect with its whimsical font and stand-alone sized sentiments.


I created a pinwheel from the Original Pinwheel Die, double-sided paper and brad, then attached it atop a twig. I tied a tag that had been stamped with a cute sentiment from the Pinwheel Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut from the Pinking Edge Sentiment Flag Die Set with May Arts Ivory Burlap String. I'm going to place this in the windowsill of my office...waiting for spring!


The above clean and simple, and happy! card was created by adhering some die cut clouds from the Rainbow and Clouds Die Set and sun with the Sunshine Die Large (there is also a smaller version here), and a stamped sentiment from the newly revised Sunshine Sentiments Stamp Set. I added a smiley face to the sun, just because, from the Boo & Faces Stamp Set. A perfect cute compliment!



I have one more card to show, and it has a fantastic newly released product, Silly Stitched Die Set, along with a revised product mix of the Coffee Cozy Stamp Set and Coffee Cozy Die Set.


I started this card with a white cardstock base with two strips of gold washi tape affixed to the left side. I then embossed a circle from the cool Silly Stitched Die Set and swirls from Coffee Cozy Die Set. I then created a coffee cup from the Coffee Cozy Die Set and paper from the newly released Love You Paper Pack. This was so easy and quick! I finished the card by stamping a sentiment from the Coffee Cozy Stamp Set and  a wrap-around baker's twine bow.



Well, there you have it. So many fabulous products from this 2016 January Release that work well with all the other fantastic Lil' Inker Designs products.

Your next stop today is Sarah Jay!!
