Lil' Inker Designs Release: Flags & Tags

Welcome to the January Release for Lil' Inker Designs!!  We have a full week of reveals for you! And as a bonus, we will also be releasing a set of adorable items with a Valentine's Day theme at the end of our hop this week that you won't want to miss!  If you are hoping along, you should have come from Emily's blog!

I am so excited to share today's products with you!  I am in love with this new stamp set and the set of dies that match!!  LOVE!!

So, without further ado, meet Flags & Tags!

The large flag die in this set is very unique!  It has an open center but the back side of the die is covered with a piece of plastic.  This gives the die extra stability but also makes it super easy to pop out the cardstock pieces that you die cut with it!  Very smart design!

I can't wait to show you these sets in action! I had such a great time making projects with these sets that I had a hard time deciding which ones to share today!  This set is so versatile and can be used for so many things! 

First up is a birthday set!

I decorated a large glassine bag with the large flag that is in the die set.  I LOVE this flag die...LOVE!!  As the graphic above shows, it measures 2 1/2" wide by 5 1/2" long. 

I attached the tag & double ended banner dies that are included with the die set to the top of the large flag and stamped the "Birthday Wishes" sentiment that is included in the stamp set.  The sentiments in this set are awesome!! I really adore the font!  The tag on this bag was cut with patterned paper.  It is so fun to use this die with or without the coordinating stamp set.

I love how you can layer with this flag die too!  It really changes up the look!  I cut just the pointed tip of the flag with two pieces of patterned paper.  If I tried to do this without a die, it would have been much more difficult to match up the sides and points evenly...have I mentioned how much I LOVE this die?  How easy it makes it to create this look? Heehee!!

Here is what you'll find inside the glassine bag...a set of altered mini-clothespins.

I created a "card" for the clothespins to attach to and then decorated the top of the card with the tag & double ended flag dies.

These are mini sized clothespins.  I cut strips of patterned paper, attached them to the clothespin with my ATG Gun adhesive and then sanded the edges.  I think that they make a super cute gift!

Now, how about the same idea but with a more girly Valentine's Day theme?

This is the basic layout as the birthday bag but using a much different color scheme.

For the tag on this bag, I die cut it with pink cardstock and then stamped one of the coordinating images from the stamp set on to it.  I LOVE, LOVE how this turned out!  I often forget to stamp images on colored cardstock, but what a fun look it gives!  I also love the options included in this stamp set for the tag!  The gorgeous sentiment is also included in the Flags & Tags set. The little hearts on the double ended banner are from a set that will be released later this week.

Inside you will find another set of clothespins.  These were found in the dollar section of Michaels and are perfect for a Valentine's gift!  

 

For this flag I wanted to show how you could use these dies with other Lil' Inker sentiments that you may already have. The "my friend" is from the Rainbows & Clouds stamp set. It is a perfect fit!

I also wanted to share a card I made using this set.

This is a mini sized card.  It measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/2".   For this card I impressed the die cut into the card front (much like embossing, but the opposite). 

Then after I had the tag impressed on the card I stamped the image inside the tag shape with another one of the stamp tag options.  This image would be great for masculine cards too!  I created a banner to layer on top and then tied it all together with Twinery twine and a shiny heart button.
