Lil' Inker Designs Release Day 1 & Video Tutorials

Hello!  It's that time again!  Time for a new Lil' Inker Designs release! The new products are already available in the store!  If you are following along in the blog hop you should have come from Laura's blog! There are three $15 gift certificates to the LID store up for grabs, so the more blogs you comment on, the better your chances are of winning! 

I have two cards and two videos to share with you today!  If you've just come from Laura's blog you might have noticed that one of the themes for this release is lots of little holes! But hold on!  Don't fear the tiny little die cut pieces!! I found a wonderful & easy (and even fun!) solution for you!

(I would be honored if you would subscribe to my new Youtube Channel.  Unfortunately, I've had to start over and create a new one since my email was being discontinued and my account was tied to my old email.  I can't even tell you what a nightmare it's been getting all of my accounts saved/fixed!)

You've already seen a preview of my first card if you watched the video above.  

I love this new Stork Stuff die & stamp set!  It is so much fun and I don't even know how many stork cards I've made!   I also love this new Cover Up Die: Eyelet!  I started by first die cutting the eyelet background.  I chose fun papers to paper piece the stork from Stock Stuff with...the options are certainly endless!  And, if you like to color, there is a stork line image that you can color too!  

To go along with the previously released Hearts Banner Die, we now have the Circles Banner Die!  It was perfect to add to the top of the card.  I love the little stitched detail in some of the circles!

For this bottom part, I used a thick piece of heat resistant acetate to emboss my sentiment on from the Stork Stuff stamp set.  You will also notice that I paper pieced the tiny little die cut pieces on three of the rows.  I know that that sounds hard & tedious but it was really easy!  I created another short video to show you how I did this.

I have one more card to share today that uses the Stork Stuff dies & stamp set and also a few more new dies from Lil' Inker Design's new release!

Do you see the stork?  LOL!  I used the stork head/body die to create the cherries!  They also look like music notes to me.  I die cut the white frame with one of the new Dual Dotted Squares dies.  The sentiment is from two stamp sets.  The "sweet" is from the Stork Stuff stamp set & the "friend" is from the previously released Girl's Best Friend stamp set.  

The yellow background die is the new Wrapper's Delight Sunburst Die which is another amazing die!  It is the first in a new series of dies that can be wrapped around a card front or other object.  I didn't use it how it was intended here, but I love how it looks on a card front! I used distress inks to color the vellum a light yellow to a darker yellow/orange and then adhered it to my card front with vellum adhesive (Tombow).  

And...I don't have these in my hands quite yet but I wanted to share a fun new product from LID that you can purchase TODAY!!
