LID:: March 2018 Release:: Day 2

Today is the second of three days of the Lil' Inker Designs March 2018 Release Showcase... Once again, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring new stamps and dies... all perfect for your Easter and Spring crafting, and even beyond! 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 projects 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 March products, it was hard to put them down!

I created the above project with the new So Prickly Cacti Dies, that coordinate with the previously released So Prickly Stamp Set. What I love about the dies, though, is that they can be used completely separately, as I have done here! I die cut some of the pots and cacti from white cardstock and colored them with distress oxide inks. I adhered them to a white cardstock panel that was also treated with some distress oxide inks, and then added a simple sentiment die cut from the new Bouquet of Roses Die Set.

This next card pairs the Bouquet of Roses Die Set with the Bouquet of Roses Stamp Set. I started by stamping the beautiful bouquet on watercolor paper and colored with Zig Real Clean Color Brush Markers. I then wrapped the stems with some burlap string. Before adhering to the linen color card base, I stamped some lines on the left side of the card front using the tag included in the Bouquet of Roses Stamp Set. After stamping the sentiment from this set, and adding a die cut word from the Bouquet of Roses Die Set, the bouquet was affixed with dimensional adhesive.

And finally today, I have a fresh, textured card featuring the Cover Up Die: Easter Egg Pop Up. I started with a white card base, with the front covered in a mix of orange, red and pink distress ink. I then added a white panel cut from the Cover Up Die: Easter Egg Pop Up, lifting each edge of the "egg" up to uncover the bright color underneath. I finished the card with a sentiment strip, stamped with Happy Bunny Stamps.

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