Lil' Inker Designs: 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Welcome to day 6 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags featuring Lil' Inker Designs!  To see all of the fabulous sponsors, prizes and posts, (and more information) please visit Tracey's blog In My Creative Opinion.

Believe Tag

For my tag I started by cutting the base with the largest Anytime Tags 2 Die.  I then die cut the gorgeous Cover Up Die: Geometric Snow and then recut it with the tag die so it fit perfectly on the tag base.  I die cut the beautiful Believe with the die from the Brush Script Christmas Words die set.  I die cut two snowflakes using the Snowflakes dies in gold cardstock and used foam tape to pop them up.  

Thank you for visiting today!  Be sure to stop by Tracey's blog In My Creative Opinion for lots more Christmas tag inspiration and do some shopping at Lil' Inker Designs today too! :)

And, Catherine Pooler is inviting you to spend a little time relaxing this weekend...for a chance to WIN!

Catherine says, "You’re like me. You take care of everyone else. You make cards that brighten the days of others. You carpool, you get food on the table, your work hard, you volunteer. You invest time and energy into making sure the people in your life are happy, healthy and have their lunchbox when they walk out the door.

But who is taking care of YOU?

Even superheroes need a little TLC now and then. I want to make sure that you are doing something special for YOU!

So I’m declaring this weekend officially CP’s Self-Care Weekend and I’m challenging you to take just a little bit (or hey, a lot if you can!) to do something for yourself.

Something that lights you up, inspires you, brings you peace, fills your bucket. AND I’m even going to enter you to win a prize for doing it!

Here’s how it works:

1. Right now, think of an activity that you can do for yourself this weekend. It could be a pedicure, wandering through a bookstore, calling a friend you haven’t talked to in a while, stamping something just for you….it can be all full day (or weekend!!) event or 10 minutes, whatever you can spare. Put it on your calendar to do this weekend!

2. Sometime during the Self-Care Weekend (This Friday, November 3 - Monday November 6 at 1pm EST) post a picture on Instagram or Facebook of you doing your activity. Tell me why it makes you feel amazing. Use the hashtag #CPSelfCareWeekend (and make sure your post is public so we can find it and cheer you on!)

3. Each photo you post will enter you to WIN a gift $25 certificate to our shop! That’s right, you might get rewarded for being good to yourself!"

So...there you have it!  Relax, share & win!  And why you're relaxing why not check out the amazing merchandise in Catherine's store!?  You can shop her fun line here!

Have a great weekend!

Watercolored Joy to the World

I'm still playing with the new products from Lil' Inker Designs' latest release.  You can view all of the new products here if you'd like.  This card was really simple to make.  I started by stamping the new Joy to the World stamp and embossing it in white.  I then used some cheap shimmer watercolor cakes (found here) and painted a circle around the sentiment in blues. I added a little green randomly.  When it was dry I tied some white twine around the panel and attached it to the blue & white striped paper.  Super simple & easy to mass produce!

Thanks for stopping by!

Candy Corn Shaker

It's the time for Fall candy and candy corn has made appearances in stores.  We're just under a week away from Halloween and I thought it was an appropriate time to share this candy corn shaker card I made.  The candy corn is die cut with the Giant Candy Corn die by Frantic Stamper.  I backed each section with the corresponding cardstock color and turned it into a shaker, adding sequins.  The sentiment is die cut with the Elegant Thankful die. I stamped the paper with the Grunge Crosshatch Background stamp to add some texture.  The yellow frame was die cut with one of the Pinprick Rectangle dies.
