January Release Hop Day 2

Helloooo there, friends! How are you? Did you enjoy our Day 1 post?

It's Day 2 and I'd like to share more projects for you but before I do let's have another look at all the items we're releasing and showcasing this week.

Dual Dotted Hearts

These dies are super pretty and if you love hearts as much as I do they are a must have for your collection especially if you have our Stitched Hearts Dies and Floating Hearts Dies. All the shapes are the same and can coordinate and be mixed and matched. This really stretches the possible use of these dies and I think that's such a value.

Lovie Friends Stamps

I'm obsessed with these stamps. They so so fun and sweet and even more important, easy to color! We gave every animal its own sentiment and then a lot of them can be easily mixed and matched. 

Lovie Friends Dies

Of course we had to give you a set of dies to cut out your new Lovie Friends Stamps! They are such a time saver! They are hollow in the center for easy die to stamp alignment. While not needed, I recommend coloring first then lining up your die to your stamp and securing with a piece of washi or masking tape to hold everything in place while cutting. 

Silly Stitched Die Set

This die set has been a long time in the making. These wandering, uneven stitches are supposed to mimic those of a real sewing machine that us paper crafters so painstaking created on our cards not so long ago. Now you have a die set that add that look with ease! It's important to know that the largest die in this set cuts only the stitching border. We do this for a couple of reason but mainly because it's a paper saver! If you pre-make a card base you're able to add stitching right to this card base. If this die had a rectangle then you'd have to make a card base and then add a panel over the front! This die also allows you to create a one layer card. The second die in the set does cut a rectangle featuring our silly stitched border. It's the perfect focal panel size for a card front. Then, in the center of this set you have three circles dies that only cut our stitched border. This allows you to use these as frames to highlight sentiments or small images and more. They even let you create a pattern on your card front. You will love experimenting with this die set!

Valentine Word Tags Dies

I'm really loving this tag set because it's so versatile. I love that you can use the tags on cards and tie on a little twine. I love that you can tie them onto a quick gift to make something look so extra special. I love that you can trim off the tag hanger and just use these as word dies. LOVE!!!

Love You Greeting Die

It was just a no brainer bringing you this die. It is quite simply the easiest way to hand make a card and make it look so elegant in seconds. We know you love this die series. What sentiment would you like to see us do next? What are you craving to have in your collection?

Love You Paper Pack

Ok, these papers are the BOMB!!!!!! Trust me, buy them. Take a look and if you aren't immediately psyched you have them you can easily return them. There are some ombre pages, some fading and distressing among the designs. There's some lovely text included here along with some fantastic patterns. OMGSH! They are so so pretty!

Pinwheel Sentiments

This is a new take on one of our originally released stamp sets and it just needed a little facelift. We've modernized it and made the sentiments a little larger and improved upon some of the sayings. I think you'll love this new version not only with your Pinwheel Dies but with so many of our other stamps and dies combined together.

Sunshine Sentiments Stamps

Another facelift! We took the best of our Rainbows & Clouds Sentiments and Sunshine Sentiments Original Set and made this one, newly redesigned set. The font is really awesome to stamp with because it's on the bolder side so the color you stamp with really POPS! It's filled with great sayings too which are useful for so many different reasons. This is a great set for your collection!

Coffee Cozy Stamps - New & Improved!

Ok, so this one got more than a little lift. We completely remade this stamp set from it's original. It was time. The original stamp set did well and we still love it but it was time to breathe new life into this fun set. The sentiments have been changed; added to and some completely new and we've added in new elements like the stitched steam swirl. You will love this set!

Coffee Cozy Die Set - New and Improved!

We decided to also give you a new and improved Coffee Cozy Die Set. The original was great but I just wanted to improve upon it for you. So we've given you a newly sized lid with scoring detail as well as a new cozy die with stitching and I just couldn't resist the stitched steam swirl. I'm loving this!!

Ok, how about some projects? I decided to use our new Lovie Friends Stamps and Dies to make some cute tags.

Here I also used our Dual Dotted Hearts Dies to show you how they pair so nicely. I've also used our Anytime Tags Dies Original and #2. LOVE! These were super fun and easy to make and I enjoyed coloring them so much. Aos featured in these projects are our Hearts Banner Dies and Circles Banner Dies and Love Things Stamps.

Ok, before I let you hop on - just a little reminder to tip your waiters. LOL! No, seriously - we love your comments and feedback and we appreciate every single one. So please be sure and leave some love along the way for our designers who work so hard to show off our store's stamps and dies.

For doing just that by Sunday January 31st at 11:30 PM EST you will be eligible to win one of three $15 gift certificates to Lil' Inker Designs! YAY!!
