Lil' Inker Designs Holiday Release: Jingle Joy

Hello!! I hope you have been enjoying the Lil' Inker Designs release week blog hops!  If you are following along with this blog hop you should have arrived from my friend Emily Leiphart's blog.   And if you would like to start at the beginning of the hop, you can visit the Lil' Inker Designs blog.

Today I have another fantastic product introduction to share with you today if you didn't already see it on my team members blogs yesterday. 

Introducing Jingle Joy!

What a fun set!! There are so many different combinations with this set that you're going to love!  I know that many of you probably think of Christmas when you see this set, but I wanted to show a non-Christmas project using this set today and so I created a gift set, which could be a Christmas present but would also make a great birthday present as well.

I found this pink crayon tote at Hobby Lobby and paid only a few dollars for it.  I couldn't leave it plain though, you know how it goes, so I had to decorate it up a little!

I die cut the letters "j" & "y" out of some cute snowflake fabric and then used the Lil' Inker Designs Fringe Flower die to make the pink flower for the "o" in "joy".  The trim was sewn on by hand.

I love how versatile these "Jingle Joy" products are!  You can use your stamps & ink with them or you can use pattern paper or fabric or felt with them.  Did you notice the leaves on my flower?  I die cut them with gray felt, to match the color scheme in the fabric, with the "Holly Jolly" dies that are also being released this week at Lil' Inker Designs.

For the card I die cut the letters "j" and "y" onto ivory paper and then stamped them with one of the 3 designs included in the new "Jingle Joy" stamp set.  I love the different patterns included with this set!  I used a button with Twinery Twine tied through the middle for the "o" in joy, just one more versatile way to use this set!  I used the "l" from the set to stamp the border.  But did you know that it could also be used to make a candy cane as well?  FUN!!

Now it is time to continue on in the blog hop by visiting the fabulous and talented Alicia Thelin's blog!  I can't wait to see what she has in store for us all today!

Be sure to stop by my blog tomorrow too!! I have several more projects to share with you to wrap up this fun Holiday Release by Lil' Inker Designs!

One winner will win the Ultimate Color Sampler Pack ($25 value!) from The Twinery!!!

The stamp set that I am working with from Stamps of Life is the "Joy2Christmas" set.

Here are my cards:

I made one of the Christmas trees a Santa tree by stamping the tree twice and paper piecing the bottom section of the tree.  I added a fun twine hat topper to the top.  I also tied french knots to add ornaments to the green trees.

For my second card I went with a softer color scheme.

I used the tag image from the stamp set to create 3 focal points and then stamped the solid tree image inside.  I then used three beautiful twine colors, Honeydew, Blossom & Buttercream to create the decorations on the tree.  I love these soft colors of Twinery Twine!

For my last card, I created a super clean & simple card.

I cut out the light bulbs from the stamp set and added glitter to one side and then popped them up with pop dots.  The twine is a fabulous way to "hang" items on the card. I attached the twine to the top of the card with just a touch of clear glue.  It holds very nicely!

Lil' Inker Designs Release: Holly Jolly

There are prizes available this week too!! Just comment on the blogs each day and you will be entered into a drawing for two $10 store credits to Lil' Inker Designs!

Today's sets that we are revealing are called "Holly Jolly Dies" and "Holly Jolly Sentiments" and they are a set of fabulous and fun dies plus a sentiment set that coordinates! 

I've had so much fun playing with this die set (you will see the sentiment set used in my post on Thursday)!  For today's project I wanted to share an easy Christmas table decoration idea.  I hope you don't mind, but I do have quite a few pictures in this post!

Here's what the complete place setting looks like.

Years ago I created some candles for Christmas decorations using upside down glass goblets.  I still put them out from year to year.  This year I decided I wanted to update the look because I love the idea so much and thought that these LID products were the perfect way to decorate the glasses!

First, I headed off to my local Goodwill store.  I scored big time!! I got each of these glasses for 49 cents each!  They had lots to choose from but I fell in love with the design of the glass on each of these and thought that they made a perfect pair!

To create this look, I first wrapped The Twinery's Butercream twine around the stems and used a little dab of hot glue to secure it.  Then, I die cut 2 of the holly leaves from the new Holly Jolly die set out of a nice green felt and cut the berries from a pink/mauve felt.  I then stitched French knots into each berry with DMC floss from my stash and also stitched a line down each of the holly leaves.  I tied the stem with DMC floss to accent the colors more.

This gives you a side view.

Here is the place card.  I created this the exact same way I did on the goblet stems only this time I used the smallest holly & berry die cuts and placed them on top of the Twinery twine.

I also created a simple napkin ring.  I cut a strip of ivory cardstock and wrapped it around the napkin.  Then, I wrapped the twine & floss around it and added the holly leaves.

Here's one more look at the grouping.  I think that these would look great on a table set for Christmas!  And really they are simple to make! 

Thank you for joining me today on the Holiday Release blog hop! Your next stop on this hop is our new LID team member, Jen del Muro!

Be sure to stop by the Lil' Inker Designs store and pick up your own set of these fabulous dies!  Also, stop by the Lil' Inker Designs blog each day this week to begin the blog hop for that day!  You won't want to miss all of the fun creations that the design team has put together!

Have a great day and enjoy the rest of the hop!
