Lil' Inker Designs Release: Head Over Heels (Bonus Day!)

Welcome back to the last day of the January new releases for Lil' Inker Designs!  Today Laura is reviewing what has been introduced this week and we are also sharing a few more projects using BONUS goods that are being released today as well...just in time for Valentines!  These are all mini sets.  You should have come from Teresa's beautiful blog if you are following the hop!

Hamster Cupid is a mini set. With the focal image at approximately 2" x 2.5", not only is he cute but he's quick and easy to color.

Of the Heart Die & Stamp Set

Did you notice that these hearts have the trademark LID perforated detail around the edges!?  YES!! So cute!! I LOVE the arrow!! I think that those 2 details make this set not only a must have but it also makes it stand out from other heart dies on the market!  And that font in the stamp set...so cute!

I used all of these products on my first card.

When I saw this image I thought it looked like this sweet little Hamster cupid could be hanging upside down which made me think of "Head over Heels in Love!"...how perfect for Valentines or a love card!

Please don't judge me too much on my coloring...I need so much practice! :)  Especially need to learn how to stay in the lines, lol!  Anyway, I made a window for the little guy and then colored him.  That little sentiment is from the Of the Heart stamp set.  It has the cutest little sayings in it in the cutest font!



I think you'll be seeing these hearts and that arrow a lot! Can you image how many ways you will be able to use that arrow!  It goes way beyond Valentine's day for sure!  Also, if you look closely you will see one of the newest colors of twine by The Twinery called Flax.  It is a kraft color and matches perfectly with all of my kraft supplies.  Love it!  It will be available soon!!

I had time this evening to sneak one more card in to share with you.

For this card I used one of the heart dies and the arrow to make an embossed image on my card front. 

This is what I used to make it.  I just cut the heart and arrow out of thin chipboard and then adhered it how I wanted it on an A2 sized piece of cardstock (this way I could emboss it directly onto a card front if I wanted and it would be easy to line up).  I cut my arrow so it would fit around the heart and then ran it through my Big Shot machine using embossing mats and added a couple extra pieces of cardstock on top for a shim.

Then, I cut it down to size and gently sanded the impression to get the heart to pop out (you must use cardstock with a white core to get this look).  I took a note from my fellow designer and friend Emily and cut the tag from the new Flags & Tags set down to add a fun border on the bottom of the heart piece.   One more way to add versatility to these cool Lil' Inker dies!!  I framed the heart piece with buttons and the new flax twine from The Twinery.
