LID:: October 2017 Release:: Day 2


Today is the second of three days of the Lil' Inker Designs October 2017 Release Showcase...and it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Weren't the projects from all the team members simply joyous?! 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.)



My first project features a few of my favorite items from this release...well, all the products were amazing, but if I had to choose two, these would be it! I created a super fun background really easily by die cutting some light olive green paper with the Geometric Snow Cover Up Die. Then I added the stamped sentiment from the Peace Love Joy Stamp Set in some retro colors and finished with a side strip and a few Nuvo Drop Embellishments. I love how easy the letters and additional letter details are easy to line up and stamp. And, the letters look great stamped alone, it is your choice to add the details!


I went retro with my first card today, and vintage with this next card! The Vintage Christmas Wreath  Stamp Set and coordinating Vintage Wreath Die are stunning! I stamped the wreath image onto kraft cardstock and colored with Copic Markers. I added a few touches of glitter.


I cut a circle out of the center of the wreath and then stamped a sentiment from Vintage Christmas Wreath onto a kraft card panel. I mounted the wreath with dimensional adhesive and finished with a silk bow.


And one final card for today. I started with a watercolor background, and then stamped and gold heat embossed the lovely, large sentiment stamp Joy to the World in the center as well as some flourishes from that same set. I die cut the panel with Stitched Mats: Rectangles and then adhered it to a kraft card base. I finished the card with some Gold Nuvo Drop embellishments. This card design would be so easy to mass produce, and could be done with a variety of colors!

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





 It is with pleasure that I get to send you to the talented Lisa Henke's Blog as the next stop along the hop. I hope you get a chance to visit the Lil' Inker Design Store now as all the NEW OCTOBER 2017 RELEASE products are already up at the store!!
