LID October Release Day 1 - Ornaments and Mittens

Hello! The day is finally here to start sharing projects with the BRAND NEW October release at Lil' Inker Designs! There is such a fun mix of products in this release - there is just a bit of fun fall mixed in with lots of great Christmas and winter theme items! You can find the entire new release HERE!


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 have two cards to share with you today - first up, using the fabulous new layering stamp set - Merry Ornaments!


This is such a fun stamp set - the layering possibilities are so unique! I used some of my favorite non-traditional Christmas colors - blues and reds!


I also added some black splatters to the background with my Pinkfresh Licorice Liquid watercolor, and then mounted on some festive red pattern paper to finish it off.


Next up, a cute and simple card featuring the sweet Mitten Shaker Die and Ready, Set, Snow stamp set:


For this card, I started by die cutting the main piece of the mitten from some rustic white cardstock, then added the bottom part with Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in the center of the mitten, and tied on some jute string.


For the cardbase, I used Reverse Confetti Sand cardstock and die cut it with Quilted Stitched Spirals Cover Die and added some white paint splatters. Once that dried, I mounted the mitten over the top with foam adhesive for a nice clean and simple card!


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!
