Peas & Carrots (and a Sale)!!

Don't you love a good sale?  Me too!!  You'll be happy to know that Lil' Inker Designs has everything in their store on sale (excluding the newest release) for 16% off!  Just use code SPRING16 at checkout!

In honor of the sale, I have a card to share using some cute products and some new dies that are included in the sale!

You may remember the adorable Perfect Pairs Stamps and now there are coordinating Perfect Pairs Dies to match!  Yea!! These little images are just super cute! I colored the peas & carrots from the Perfect Pairs Stamps set with copics (I know that my ink bled, phewy!) and die cut them with the Perfect Pairs Dies.  The background was created with the All About Ampersand Die Set.  I really like that large ampersand!  The sentiment is from the All About Ampersand Stamp set which pairs up nicely with the Perfect Pairs Stamps.

The sale is good through May 16th so hurry over to the Lil' Inker Designs store and pick up your goodies while supplies last on any product in the store excluding items from the latest release (BUT the Perfect Pairs dies ARE included in the sale)!

Masculine Birthday Fishing Card

With Mother's Day just past, our focus now turns toward the men in our life.  I don't know about you, but I find making masculine cards a little more challenging!  However, Frantic Stamper recently released some dies that are perfect for the fishermen/fisherwomen in your life!  

This die called Dad's Catch was a fun die to paper piece with and it was easy to do, just poking out and inserting in the different patterned papers!  The sentiment is from the All in the Family stamp set and it has a lot of different options for creating sentiments!

My top navy layer I cut the circle out (using a general circle die) and then popped it up with foam tape so that it created a window for the die cut.  All in all, this was a simple card to put together!

Thanks for joining me today!  Have a great day!

Shoot for the Stars

Hello!  I wanted to share with you a couple of cards I made with some dies from the newest Patriotic themed release from Frantic Stamper.  I wanted to go for a graduation theme since that time of the year is here and we'll be going to graduations & parties soon!

This first card really could be for many different occasions.  I used the Reverse Stitched Country Stars die to cut out the stars directly into my card mat.  Then, I die cut the stars in four colors of cardstock & situated them where I wanted them on my card, popping some of them up for dimension.

The sentiment is from the Sentiments from Space stamp set.

For this second card, I then used the same card design, only this time I added the graduation cap from the Graduation Ensemble die set.  

That's all for me today!  Thank you for stopping by!

Teacher...You're Appreciated

This week is Teacher Appreciation week and in honor of that I have a card to share for a teacher.  My kids are so fortunate to be at a school with awesome teachers/staff!! We are so blessed and so fortunate!  THANK YOU teachers for everything you do and everything you do that you don't have to do but you do because you LOVE the kids!!  You go above & beyond!

For this card I created the background using the Wrapper's Delight: Lattice Die.  I die cut the apples with the Apple Pieces die set & then stamped the apple with the coordinating Teacher Talk stamp set.   I LOVE this stamp set!  These fresh apple images are perfect for teacher cards!

I die cut the Teacher Word die with green cardstock & then stamped the sentiment from the Teacher Talk stamp set.
