Welcome to a special mini release from Lil' Inker Designs! We are releasing three new stamp sets and 2 new dies that I think you're going to love! This is a special blog hop too because we have a special group of ladies joining us today! These wonderful ladies I have had the pleasure of spending several crafty retreat weekends with at a wonderful crafty house (check that out here) and they each received a stamp set as a gift from Laura. And guess what!? We are all here to share our creations with you!
If you are following along with the blog hop you should have come from my seating buddy Lisa Petrella's blog (she's such a kind person and I was so lucky to get to sit next to her at this last retreat!!). If you are just beginning this hop here, visit Laura's blog for the entire hop order.
And of course there are prizes involved...three in fact! All you have to do is leave a comment on the blogs in the hop to be eligible to win!
I have three projects and a short video tutorial to share with you today!
First up is this great You Will Never Regret Being Kind Stamp. There are quite a few different ways to use this stamp as you'll see as you visit the ladies' blogs. The technique I used on this card was shown to me at our last crafty retreat by my sweet friend Cheryl. You heat emboss the image in white embossing powder and then color over the top with copic markers. Super simple and FUN and it packs a great punch! I made the border with the Dual Dotted Rectangles Dies.
Here is a short video (less than 3 minutes) on how to do this easy technique.

And a closer look at the card I made in the video:
For this card I used the new Be the Reason that Someone Smiles Today stamp and the same Dual Dotted Rectangles Die as in the first card.
One last card...
Sadly, it seems like my Facebook feed is often full of friends saying goodbye to their wonderful pets. Lil' Inker Designs has come out with a set that is perfect for sending notes to friends & family dealing with a loss of a beloved pet. For the above card I started by die cutting the new Cover Up Die: Stitched Clouds (I'm so excited about this die!!) to use for the background for my card. I stamped the clouds and cute bird from the new Angel Pets stamp set and die cut them with the coordinating Angel Pets die set. I colored them with copics. I embossed the sentiment on vellum, also from the Angel Pets stamp set. The large white stitched cloud and rainbow were die cut with the Rainbow & Clouds die set.
You can be eligible to win one of three prizes just by commenting on the blogs in the hop! All of the Lil' Inker products that I've used (and more!) are available to purchase right now in the Lil' Inker Designs store! Your next stop on the blog hop is over to another sweet gal who makes me smile, Linda Nomura's blog!
Thank you for joining me today!
**I'm also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for Anything Goes.**

I am definitely going to try your embossing/copic technique-these cards are so fabulous and bright! They would definitely send cheer to anyone's way! Also you did such a wonderful card with the angel pets, I agree, it is too often that friends lose their treasured pets and this would be such a nice way to send sympathy.
