Party!!

Hello!! Wow, I have been a way for a while, huh!?  Life has just been so busy but I'm seeing some down time now and excited to get back to crafting again more regularly!   

Welcome to another great release from Lil' Inker Designs!! We have some FUN stuff you are going to want to have in your hands soon!   We are teaming up with the Lil' Inker Designs Color Team for this release so not only do we have dies & coordinating stamp sets, but we also have cute new images from the Color Line! 

 If you are following along with the blog hop you should have come from Judith Gowdy's fun blog!  If you would like to start at the beginning, visit Laura's blog!

 So without further ado, let's get on to the sneak peeks!

First up is a card made with the Party Hat die set & You're Invited stamp set!  These little party hats are adorable and so versatile! You can mix and match the patterns or make a solid hat! For this hat I used the solid party hat die, the dotted party die, the fringe border & the star puff at the top.   That cute little scalloped border if from the new "You're Invited" stamp set!  Very cute!  The sentiment is also from that set!

 Here are the product graphics so you can see all the possibilities!

Isn't the fringe on the bottom of the hat cute?  For party hat fringe, I used origami paper which is very thin and I like how it turned out.  It isn't as stiff as cardstock so it "fringes" really well!  I also used this on the side of my card too (the solid green).  To cut the fringe on the side of my card, I used the Lil' Inker Fringe Flower Die and cut it in half.  I also did this with the polka dotted cardstock.  Then, I used my fingers to puff the fringe up and attached it to my card.  This carried the fringe, party theme throughout the entire card.

 

For this next card, I used one of the balloon dies to create a pumpkin!  There are so many fun shapes of balloons and I bet that they would all make fun pumpkins, but I used sort of an oblong shaped balloon. I cut three of the balloons in orange and one in brown for the stem and then layered them all.  

Here's a closeup of the pumpkin and that fabulous sentiment is from the Acorn Stamp Set.
