I Heart You

Valentine's Day is right around the corner!  It is hard to believe that we are in the 2nd month of the new year already!  I've been playing with the Lil' Inker Designs "Of the Heart" dies and stamps and wanted to share one of those cards with you today.

I cut out a bunch of the hearts from patterned paper in my stash.  I just adore the perforated detail around the edges of the hearts!! This detail truly makes these heart dies stand out among the rest (well, that and the added bonus of the fun little arrow in the set too!!). 

I used the "I" and "U" from the sentiment set included with the dies.  See that pretty color of twine tied around the card?  That is one of The Twinery's newest colors called Cantaloupe!  Love, love, love this new color LOTS!!  It is great being able to use a non-traditional "valentines" color on a valentiney-card!

Did you also notice that I stacked two of the hearts on top of each other to create the "I love U" sentiment?  They look so cute together!

Well, thanks for stopping by today!  Time to get going on my "to do" list!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary Day 1

Papertrey Ink is celebrating another anniversary this month.  They issued a challenge to make a card inspired by on one of the cards shown on Nichole's post.  I chose to use Maile's card as inspiration taking the clean and simple design, the rainbow colors and the layout as my inspiration.

Here is my version:

I used the PTI Simple Circles Border Die and cut out the shape from the front of a cardstock panel.  Then, I layered patterned paper from Crate Paper, in a rainbow hue, underneath and pushed the two pieces of die cut cardstock together. Instead of giving me a circle shape, it made an oval shape which I thought was fun and unique. 

I popped the entire panel up on pop dots for dimension.

I also used the Linen Impression plate on the panel for texture.  LOVE this impression plate.  I use it on almost every card! The sentiment is from last year's anniversary set, "Botanical Silhouettes". 

Here is Maile's card that I was inspired by:

Well folks, it is nap time now!! Then, off to a Super Bowl party (I still don't know who I am going to cheer for! I go for the fellowship, food and commercials!!).

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO with Lil' Inker Designs

Hi everyone!! I am back today with another card using products from the Lil' Inker Designs Bonus Goodies released in January!  If you are following along in the hop, you should have arrived from Laura's blog! 

Today I am using the Hamster Cupid set.

I got out my colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits which I haven't used for a loooooong time and colored the hamster.  I left 2 of the hamsters white to accent the one on the bottom.  The top 2 hamsters are adhered directly onto the card front and so they are below the top panel which I popped up with pop dots.  The bottom hamster is popped up above the panel for some fun dimension.

If you visited my blog on Wednesday, then you saw the heart accents I made with PolyShrink film.  I did the same thing for this card only I stamped a different pattern from the Flags & Tags stamp set onto the film and then die cut the heart and attached it to the card with baker's twine.  Again, another fun accent that adds versatility to the Lil' Inker Designs dies!

Hopefully from this angle, you can see the dimension a little bit better.

Thank you for stopping by!  To continue along on the hop, why not stop on over to the Lil' Inker Designs store and check out all the great new products!!
