LID January Release - Day 1

Hello! So happy today to begin sharing some fun projects for the brand new Valentine's release at Lil' Inker Designs - and love is definitely in the air! 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!


I seriously am SOOO in LOVE with all the beautiful new love theme products in this release! First up, I have this simple layered card:



For this card, I used the heart die in Dual Stitched Heart and Kisses Word Die to cut a window in my white cardstock - don't you love how the stitching shows on the negative of the die cut?



Next, I stamped a sentiment from Filled Heart Stamp set and heat embossed in white on a strip of vellum, adhering on the back of the window.



I die cut the front panel and the card base with the previously released Silly Stitched Die Set, added a wrap of jute twine tied in a bow, and adhered to my card base with foam adhesive - with a bit of pattern paper tucked appropriately on the card base.


Next up - this light and airy neutral card:


For this one, I just wanted to let the beautiful new Today and Always Greeting Die be the star of the show.


I also used the beautiful previously released Quilted Stitched So Knotty Cover Up Die - I love these for adding some subtle texture and interest to a simple white card base like this!


I wrapped some jute twine around my card, tied the upper corner of the die on, then added a tiny clothespin over the top. Also added a tiny bit of adhesive toward the bottom of the die to lock it into the place I had chosen for it.


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!
