Lil' Inker Designs June Release: Day 1 (Pssst...there's a sale!)

Hello!  It's time for the next Lil' Inker Designs release! This was such a FUN release to play with and I know you are going to love what you see!  PLUS...there is a gift with purchase...PLUS there is a sale too...PLUS there is a fantastic giveaway!! :)  More details about all of that below! The new products are already available in the  Lil' Inker Designs store! If you are following along in the blog hop you should have come from Heather Hoffman's Blog!  

I have two cards to share today.

Card #1:

First up is this bright, summery card using an adorable new stamp set called I'll be Brief. There is also a coordinating die set, I'll Be Brief dies. 

I die cut the cute brief-wearing bear, embossed him & then colored him non-traditional bear colors with my Zig markers. I also die cut the new Hi Word Die out of patterned paper to place the bear, with dimensional tape, on top of.  I love the size of the new Hi die!  I stamped the sentiment, also included in the I'll be Brief Stamp Set, on a mat that I had die cut with the previously released Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles Dies. To create the background, I die cut the new Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron (which you can earn free with a qualified purchase, details below!!).

Card #2:

I used most of these same products to create a different look on this next card.

I die cut the Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron again but this time in several different colors and then placed the pieces where I wanted them.  I then die cut a piece of black & white striped paper with the Color Blocking Die and placed it on top with dimensional tape. I die cut all three of the cute animals with the I'll Be Brief dies and stamped them with the coordinating images from the I'll be Brief Stamp Set.  I colored them with copics.  I die cut the smallest Pinking Edge Sentiment Flags from yellow cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the I'll be Brief Stamp Set.  

I cut off part of the bear & rhino so that they would tuck under the diagonal piece and then die cut the balloon string from the Love You More Hearts & Balloons die set and the balloon from the Balloon Dies to make it look like the bear was holding the balloon.
