LID December Release Day 1 - Buffalo Plaid and Chocolate

Hello! So excited to start sharing projects with the BRAND NEW December release at Lil' Inker Designs! Such fun products in this release - and if you love Buffalo Plaid (and who DOESN'T?!?!?) - you are going to love this release! 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!

Today I'm using a few of the new stamps and dies - but in particular, my new favorite stamp set - Cozy Plaid! I mean...buffalo Plaid stamp - how can you go wrong?!?!?


I've used this stamp set in several different color combos to give a completely different feel - I'll be sharing more of those over the next couple days - but for today's card I went full-on-traditional Buffalo Plaid and stamped it in black on red cardstock. I used my MISTI and Versafine ink to stamp multiple times for a super deep, dark, and crisp impression. 


Next, I die cut the mug from the previously released Coffee Talk 2 Die Set, and added a sentiment from the new coordinating Comfy Cocoa stamp set, and some whip cream and a peppermint stick from the new Comfy Cocoa Coordinating Dies.


To add a touch of interest, texture, and femininity to my card, I added a bit of lace at the bottom, and some jute twine before mounting my mug of cocoa with foam adhesive over the top. I also used some Nuvo Glitter Drops to add some sparkle on the whip cream and peppermint stick. SOOO fun!

  3. This is beautiful, Heather! I love the lace and how it looks like the mug

    femininity (lace).
