I'm Seeing Stars!

Hey everyone!! It's release time at Lil' Inker Designs again!

We have some fun new products to add to the Lil' Inker Designs store that I think you'll enjoy!   If you are following along in the blog hop, you should have come from Isha's blog.  If you'd like to start at the beginning, visit Laura's blog.

I have two cards to share with you today.

For this card I went with a baby theme and used several new products.  

See that fabulous star sky?  That is a fun new die that is being released today!  I had so much fun playing with it!  It has so many uses!!  You can use this die as a border, in the middle of your card, on the side, at an angle, etc...you get the point!  To make the moon, I used the 2nd smallest Stitched Mats Circles die to first cut a circle.  Then, I used it again on that same circle to take the "chunk" out of the moon to make the shape I wanted.  The yellow panel is popped up with dimensionals and the raspberry pink dotted paper is flush against the the card to create even more dimension.

Here I've used two more new products.  The sentiment is from the "Snarky Sentiments" set that had a limited release a few weeks ago (and is currently sold out, sorry!).  And that star...yes!! It is another new set of dies called "Stitched Stars"!  And, if you're wondering, they DO make the stitch on the die cut AND on the negative!  LOVE!! I seemed to be in a hanging mood when I designed this month's release cards as you'll see over the next few days.  I thought it would be fun to hang the star from the moon.

I created a short tutorial on how to make the "puffy" star.  The directions are below.

Here's my last card for today.

I again used the Starry Night Sky die, only this time I used it vertically.  I scored lines down each side of it for a little extra dimension.  I backed the stars with some fun patterned paper from Echo Park.

I stamped stars randomly with VersaMark ink from the "Notebook Doodles" stamp set.   The sentiment is from "Snarky Sentiments" and the banner is from the Flags & Tags Die set.

Have you seen the product images yet?

These are available for purchase in the Lil' Inker Designs store now (except for Snarky Sentiments which is already sold out, but you can put your name on a waiting list if you'd like), along with a few other new products which I'll be showcasing this week as well.

Now, as always, there are several Lil' Inker Designs gift certificates up for grabs! Just comment on the posts along the blog hop and your name could be drawn to win one of the prizes!

We are sadly saying goodbye to one of our team members this month, Debby Hughes!  I have been so inspired by Debby's work!  I wish you all of the best in your new journey Debby!

Lil' Inker Designs wants to welcome a guest designer to this month's release!  Jen Rzasa is joining us for this month's hop!  Yea!!  And, your next stop on this hop is over to her fabulous blog!  Visit Jen here!
