Lil' Inker Designs September Release Day 3

Eat Pie

My last 2 cards for this release uses a stamp set that makes me chuckle called Eat Pie.  It reminds me of Chick-fil-a's popular campaign with the cows wearing signs trying to guide people to eat chicken...not cows. 😁

**And be sure to scroll down because my 9 year old daughter is joining me for this post with her card made from this set too!**

Photo Source & More Pictures

Stamping the turkey in this set was a lot of fun.  You may think that I just used random colors but I was actually really inspired by a gorgeous real life breed of turkey shown above.

To assemble the turkey, I first die cut her using the Eat Pie dies.  I then stamped each piece of the turkey with the Eat Pie Stamp set with bright inks (listed below), trying to use the colors in the turkey above.  I die cut the sign, pumpkin & squirrel and stamped them with the same set.  The background was die cut with Cover Up Die: Stitched Clouds.  And the hill was created using one of the dies from Dual Dotted Border Builder Dies.

Introducing Sadie's (9 Years Old) Eat Pie Card
When I was making my card, my 9 year old daughter Sadie saw the set and wanted to make a card too.  I have to say she did a wonderful job!  I'm so proud of her!

Here she is with her card.

For her card she also wanted to use bright colors but on a brown turkey (inks listed below).  She die cut the turkey, sign & pumpkins with the Eat Pie dies and then stamped the individual pieces with the coordinating Eat Pie Stamp set.  She cut the sign down so that it looked like he was picketing to eat pie, not turkey.  The hill was die cut with one of the Border Builder dies.  She die cut the Sunshine (large) and then stamped a face & mustache from the So Prickly stamp set (totally her idea!).

Didn't she do a great job?  I loved listening to her thought process as she thought out each detail!  I know she'd love reading your comments for her card (if you are inclined to leave one)!

Lil' Inker Designs September Release: Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Lil' Inker Designs Release!  All of the products being shown today are currently 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.

Today I have 2 Halloween themed cards to share using the new A Haunting We Will Go Stamps, A Haunting We Will Go Dies, Ghost Shaker Die Set, You've Been BOOed Stamps & Dies Bundle, Cover Up Die: Stitched Harlequin & FaBooLous Stamp Set.

Trick or Treat with Frankenlion

The new set A Haunting We Will Go has the cutest little animals all dressed up for Halloween.

I die cut the new Cover Up Die: Stitched Harlequin on purple cardstock and then used the On the Diagonal die to create a stitched angle.  On top of that I took a piece of black & white dotted paper and swiped Twisted Citron & Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks over the top.  I stamped the Trick or Treat sentiment from the FaBooLous Stamp Set.  I die cut Frankenlion from the A Haunting We Will Go Dies and then stamped the coordinating image from the A Haunting We Will Go Stamp Set.  The image was colored with copics and then I used Crushed Grape Nuvo Drops on the nose & tail for some dimension and shine.

BOO Shaker

The new Ghost Shaker Die Set makes making Halloween shaker cards a breeze.

I started by die cutting the BOO with the You've Been BOOed Stamps & Dies Bundle.  I stamped the coordinating letters in Flirty Fuchsia, Orange Twist & black Inks.  For the shaker I cut the background ghost from glitter white cardstock using the Ghost Shaker Die Set and then cut the black outline with black glitter cardstock.  I attached a couple of Eye Enamel Dots on top of the shaker.  This is all adhered onto layers that have been die cut using the Stitched Mats: Rectangles die set.

Thankful With All My Heart

To say I had fun making this card is an understatement.  I really enjoyed putting the pieces together to create this! My inspiration came from this photo on Minted. To create the outside borders of this card I used several new sets combined with a few previously released sets. The majority of the images come from the new Thankful Thoughts & Eat Pie Stamp Sets.  I also used a few Encouraging Word Stamps & the tiny little star-shaped image from the Warm Welcome Stamp set.  I stamped all of the images in black and then used copics to color in the flowers and highlight some of the leaves.  The flowers are die cut with the Thankful Thoughts Dies.

For the inside sentiment I die cut the Thankful Word Die three times and stacked them together to create thickness. I then stamped the sentiment, from Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set, and adhered.

Gold & Green Thanks
For this next card I wanted to bling it up with some foil and gold accents.

This card was also inspired by one I found on Minted quite a while back that I had pinned to my Inspiration file on Pinterest.  You can see my inspiration here.  I started by using Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink and rubbing the pad over the left side of the card panel.  After it dried I used a paintbrush and some Minc Reactive Mist to paint the brush strokes.  I dried that with my heat gun and then ran it through my Minc with gold foil.  LOVE the results!  I then used the cool, new Snarky Shadow Thanks Stamps & Die Bundle to die cut the thanks outline & then stamped the thanks with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink.  Then for the shadow I stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Gold Glitter Zing Embossing Powder.  I really like this thanks image!  For the rest of the sentiment, from the same stamp set, I stamped it on a light gray cardstock and adhered.  I finished it off by adding a few gold sequins.

Available For a Limited Time
The next bit of news is that there are some cute stamps that Laura has brought back to the LID store for a limited time!  So get them while you can!

A Batty Treat

A Batty Halloween Treat

With Halloween in just a few short months, I wanted to share a simple project I made using the Lil' Inker Designs Batty Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle.  If you need a fun, little project that you can make for your child's class party or to hand out on Halloween, this is so fun to put together!  For this bat I wanted her to look a little more girly so I chose a patterned paper with pinks & purples in it too.

When you open the little girl up, you can hide a treat inside.  For this surprise I opted to go the non-candy route and put a little fox eraser inside.  You can find tiny erasers all over the place but I believe that this one came from the Target Dollar Spot.

And then underneath the eraser is a cute little message for the recipient.

And for a little more inspiration, here's a tag I made last year using this set also.

Have a great day creating!
