LID January Release Day 3 - Hugs and Love

Hello! Welcome to the final day blog hop of the BRAND NEW January release at Lil' Inker Designs! Such fun products in this release - totally full of love and Valentine's Day goodness! You can find the entire new release HERE!

I have two more cards to share with you today using the new release - and a few great items from previous releases! Today I'm using the new Bear Hugger Die and Stamp Bundle (with a bit of a twist to show another way to use it!), the Perfect Pairs Additions Stamp Set, Quilted Stitched All Heart Die, and Sending My Love Word Die!

First up, I wanted to use the darling new Bear Hugger for a card, but unless I wrapped them around something, the arms were just too long for what I wanted on my card front. So...I did some partial die cutting to shorten those arms up! So make note - this is not how the die cuts on it's own, but it is SUPER easy to trim those arms down. I wanted to do a video - and may still post a quick one on my Instagram sometime soon - cause it's a little hard to explain with words, but would take a few seconds to show how in a video. 

I used a plaid background stamped with Cozy Plaid (from the last release in December), and mounted the bear on an aqua oval die cut with Stitched Mats: Ovals, and added a heat embossed sentiment underneath using Perfect Pairs Additions stamp set.

And continuing on with the same color combo apparently - a nice simple card up next!

For this card, I die cut the front of my card using Quilted Stitched All Hearts Die, and added a few black splatters with my Pinkfresh Liquid Watercolors. In hindsight, I wish I'd added just a few less splatters, but it still added a fun bit of texture to the cardfront, so I just decided to go with it.

I die cut the Sending My Love Word Die from aqua cardstock, and mounted that over the front for a nearly one layer card - nice and flat and easy to mail!

This photo shows the texture a little closer and better - I'm especially loving the new Quilted Stitched All Heart Die!
