Lil' Inker's October Release - Day 2

Hello! Welcome back to sneak peeks for the new release at Lil' Inker Designs! This is such a SUPER fun Christmas/winter theme release - so excited to finally be sharing all these projects with you!!!


First up - here is a peek at my VERY favorite card from this release, using my FAVORITE stamp set from this release! I have details (as well as a giveaway!) posted HERE for one of the days of my Blog Birthday month giveaways! But I had to post a look at it here too! :)


Here is that fun stamp set:


Next up - another favorite from this release - the beautiful Merry and Bright Holiday Greeting Die:


Here is that die - so amazingly versatile for simple bulk Christmas cards!


I first die cut a square using Stitched Mats: Squares out of black cardstock, then die cut the Merry and Bright from the center, but at an angle. I created a watercolor background, then used that Merry and Bright panel to create a small shaker on the front of my card. Filled it with silver confetti and sequins stars from Pretty Pink Posh, and a bunch of chunky glitter. So sparkly and bright! Added a simple outline to the watercolor paper, a few flicks of black Mister Huey's mist, then carefully put Glossy Accents on the "Merry & Bright" words. Totally a holiday party on a card! 


Next up, a very clean and simple designed fall card:


For this one, I used the newly release Leaf Love Dies, and cut them out of felt. 


I used Quilted Stitched pattern die for my card base - perfect for adding some simple interest to a card with lots of white space, then heat embossed my sentiment from the freshly redesigned and re-released Nuts About You Stamp Set:


The stitching still shows up, although it is a little hard to see in the photos - this one shows it a bit better:
