LID December Release - Day 2 - Simple Card Set

Hello! We are on Day 2 of the blog hop for the brand new holiday release at Lil' Inker Designs and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! You should have arrived here from Chrissy Larson - 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!


For today's cards I used the the amazing new Quilted Stitched So Knotty Die - a gorgeous background die - and paired it up with a couple other stamp and die sets to create a simple design that would be easy to replicate in different colors and sentiments for nearly any occasion!


For the first card I used Friend Stamps and the coordinating Friend Word Die:


For the second one, I used Because Stamps along with the coordinating Because Word Die:


For both of these, I die cut the word out of white cardstock, and heat embossed the sentiments in white on a strip of black cardstock. Once I adhered all the layers together, I added a coating of Glossy Accents to the word die cuts for added shine - hard to see in the photos, but a bit of a fun touch all the same!


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

And now the really fun part! One lucky person is going to win THE ENTIRE RELEASE! Winner will be chosen from comments left along the hop - so the more comments you leave, the better your chance of winning!
