LID January Release - Day 2

Hello! Back for Day 2 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'm back today with a couple more love theme cards - first up, I just HAD to do at least one shaker - so many of these dies are PERFECT for this purpose!



I started off by creating a window in my pink cardstock using Fringe Scalloped Heart Dies - I also slightly bent up the edges of each scallop to make it pop a little extra!



Next, I die cut the Be Mine Greeting Die from a piece of white cardstock, and attached that directly on the back. I die cut the whole thing with a Stitched Mats: Rectangle. I backed that panel with acetate and added foam adhesive for my shaker.



Finally, I did a bit of distress inking on the card base in a soft pink for an ombre effect, and filled the shaker with lots of pretty Iridescent Heart Confetti from Pretty Pink Posh. LOVE how it reflects the pink just a little extra as well!


Next up, a nearly one layer card - so simple, but the layers work so effectively together!


I started off by stamping the large heart from Love You More Stamp Set in Hero Arts ombre ink directly on my card base.


I added the large "Love" using the fabulous Brush Script Valentine's Word Dies (which, incidentally, I absolutely LOVE!), then stamped the smaller sentiment again from Love You More Stamp Set.


Finished this one off with a simple twist of black jute string, tied in a knot instead of a bow.
