LID October Release - Day 3

Hello! We are on the 3rd and final day of the blog hop for the brand new holiday release at Lil' Inker Designs! You should have arrived here from Sarah Jay - if you stopped by here you can refer to the entire blog hop at the bottom so you don't miss a stop or a chance to win the amazing giveaway. I also have links to all the new products I used on today's cards - so much cute Christmas stuff!

Both my cards today are fairly traditional as far as Christmas colors go, although I kind of like the pop of gray in this card that I think is a little unexpected and fun!

This card uses the fabulous new Merry Christmas Border Die - a perfect die to quickly and easily make some stunning cards - great for using scraps or mass producing cards!

I combined it with some plaid pattern paper, and used the Quilted Stitched Spirals Die on the black paper that you can see at the bottom. 

I used a small circle punch to cut half circles out to thread my jute twine around so that it stays in place where I want it - I knew I would never keep it at a diagonal the way I wanted without doing that!

And then, who could help but love the darling new Moody Santa Stamp Set?!?!?!?

While I just adore the sentiments that come with it (seriously, some of them are PERFECT for my kiddos this year! Haha!) - I thought it would be fun to pair him up with one of the sentiments from the new All the Christmas You'll Ever Need 2 stamp set. I used Anytime Tags dies (an older set) to cut a window (then saved the tag for something later!).

I added some pattern paper scraps along the bottom, some jute twine, and then the adorable Santa cut out with the coordinating Moody Santa Dies, then used a white gel pen to accent on the Santa and add some stitching around the window. I also added those tiny dots on the larger letters of the sentiment.

Your next stop along the blog hop is Angel Rivera - head over there next to finish the hop before you go shopping. See you tomorrow with more projects and fun!
