You Made It Monday Vol. 15

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope you are ready for some inspiration because I have a ton of it!  I decided to look around and see what I could find using Lil' Inker Designs word dies.  I just love our word dies.  They can make a simple card pop or keep a busy card focused.  Plus, who doesn't love being able to create their own fun sentiments?  Well, here are a few awesome creations that show just how fun our word dies can be.
 
I found this amazing card on Instagram created by Chera, @purpledaisycreations.

This card is fantastic!  Chera created an amazing background and the Dad Word Die really brings it all together.    I just love how she finished the sentiment with a stamp from Mom & Dad Sentiments Stamps.  Perfect, masculine, and fun all at the same time.  Thanks, Chera!

This next card from Jane of see jane stamp has an awesome background as well.

Those colorful swooshes are great and bring a ton of interest to the card but the Seriously Word Die is the real star of this card.  I love Jane's colors and finishing her sentiment with Seriously Awesome Stamps is wonderful.  What a great card!

Lil' Inker word dies are great when paired with other sentiment stamps but Jen shows us they can definitely hold their own.

Talk about a cool background.  Jen created this background with a brick stencil and it is the most amazing tone on tone look.  To make her card really pop, she added a bright yellow Smile Word Die.  I just love how the yellow pops on this card and the butterfly is a perfect little extra.  Gorgeous card, Jen!
 
Finally, another card that shows how our word dies can carry a card all on their own from Liliuska of Dandelion Clouds.

The best thing about Liliuska's post, you get to see 4 cards all using the Cover Up Die: Diamond Lace.  I just love the monochromatic color on this card and how the Thanks Word Die still makes such an impact.  The bit of twine and the enamel dots make this card totally amazing.  WOW!

I just couldn't help but share this cute card from Melanie of Stitches and Smudges.

How adorable is Melanie's use of the So Prickly Stamp Set?  Her coloring and shading are so awesome on the cactus and I just love how she layered everything.  The Dip Dyed Ombre background complements this card perfectly.  Gorgeous job, Melanie!  

Another wonderful use of the So Prickly Stamp Set comes to us on Instagram from @ilinacrouse.

I just love how Ilina used the Border Builders Die Set to allow the adorable patterns from the So Prickly Paper Pack to add a pop of fun to her cards.  The ombre cacti she stamped using the So Prickly Stamp Set are just adorable.  What cheery cards, Ilina!  Thanks for sharing!  

In case you don't know, I love coffee and I especially loved seeing the new Coffee Cozy Die Set and Coffee Cozy Stamps being used by @andreea.raghina.

Just look at those adorable polka dots!  Andreea's use of pattern is just wonderful and do you see how she used Silly Stitched Die Set?  So adorable and the twine is just a perfect touch.  So sweet, Andreea!
 
This last card from Barb Gmitro-Best, bblaker13 on Flickr, also uses the new Coffee Cozy Die Set.

How cute is this card?  I just love how Barb captured the Caribou Coffee logo in the cut from Coffee Cozy Die Set.  So cool!  The hearts are great and the sentiment from Coffee Talk Stamps is super cute with this card!  Great card there, Barb!!

You Made It Monday Vol. 13

Monday is here again and we have some more amazing projects to share with you guys.  I have to say, I got stuck on our Flickr group this week.  Each time I looked, more and more gorgeous projects were being shared by you guys.  Thanks SO much for helping us show off Lil' Inker Designs products.  It makes us so happy to know you guys enjoy them as much as we do.    
 
First up, an adorable card by Gaylynn from Neat Nook Creations.

Gaylynn's combo of Vintage Ink Stamps and Send Pretty Greetings Stamps make this card such a sweet way to send thanks.  I love how she used Cover Up Die - Pieced Chevrons to emboss the background and Border Builders Die Set to make a doily like area for her focal image and sentiment.  It's a vintage masterpiece!     

Sonja's use of Stitched Hearts Die Set on this next card blew me away and I kind of wish it was something I made but I cannot watercolor like that. She has SKILLS! :)

The painted background popping through the heart is perfection!  It makes this simple card just jump off the screen.  Did you notice the sentiment?  That's Sonja's own handwriting.  You can read all about it on her blog, The Art of Stamping.  More skills!!!

Next up, Jenny.  I just can't stay away from her blog, Crafting in the Country.

I just love Jenny's style and she really shows off the versatility of Teacher Talk Stamps with these two projects.  Her choice of color combo is absolutely perfect and as she say in her blog post, it's very "Orla Keily-esque".  Ha ha!  The sentiment from All About Ampersand Stamp Set is great but my favorite part of this?  The tissue holder!  You must check out Jenny's blog to see how this works.  Genius! 

Next up, a couple of awesome projects I spotted on Instagram.  First, this stunner from @cealp.

Ceal made the Inky Flowers Stamp set shine with this amazing background and layout.  I love the touch of the rounded corner!  WOW!

Finally, a card inspired by our very own Lisa Henke from Jeanie, @gglafashionista.

Just look at that gorgeous water colored background created using Smooches Stamps.  Absolutely stunning!

Thank you,

Flashback Friday!!!

Surprise!!!! I'm posting and with a little something new and special for you!

Here at Lil' Inker Designs it's Flashback Friday!!! Why? Well, because I missed Throwback Thursday, LOL!!

I wanted to put together a little post for you today featuring a formerly release goodies and then put them on sale for you. What do you think?

For today's Flashback Friday, I'm featuring our Hey, Foxy goodies! Let's have a look at all the amazing things you can create with these fun stamps, dies and word dies!

The pieces in this die set assemble to make the fox's body. The stamps below are needed to complete his cute little face.

Not only does this stamp set give you a couple of different facial expressions for your fox but includes some cute little sentiments as well and even some fun glasses!

These are purely for fun and coordinate nicely with our Hey, Foxy Stamps. I like that our team has shown you how to use all these goodies together and on their own. 

Let's have a looksie!

Here Sarah used our Hey, Foxy Stamps to create this bold but simple greeting!

Here, Amy shows a great color option for our fox and even cuter nose placement. I love the flower she added too!

Love that Chrissy has show how the Hey Foxy Word Dies can be used in a totally different way as seen here with my personal favorite beverage!

YES! How cool is this? Love Chrissy's bold and funky background, but I also like the taller version of the fox she made here.

I love that Jen has shown that a Fox ROCKS in any color. What an awesome color scheme!

Foxes can even sport bold patterns and still be as sweet as ever! Great job here too showing the stamp set and the word dies working together!

This one couldn't be more perfect. Bold background, cute fox and greeting! 

Here I made a little scene for our pink fox and oriented the tail in a different way to show you something new. OPTIONS!

Here I've shown you another great fox color choice and the dies and word dies working together.

Laura Williams has shown us how hipster our fox can be in his glasses!

Lea rocked these projects. RIGHT?! 

Love the tail here!

Love this white fox with pink accents AND she fits on our Triangle Treat Holder. YES!

Make a scene for your fox with some other LID dies in your collection and even do two tones of fur! Well done, Lisa!!

Simple greeting and totally appropriate sentiment without the fox image. Love that!

Foxes can be gorgeous too like in this clean and simple card from Maureen. Sigh......It's greatness!

GENIUS!!! Sarah wrapped her fox around a sentiment panel. This totally WORKS!!! I love this and I love the fox's dots too!

I think what I love most about our Hey, Foxy goodies is how different all the Foxes can be. Its character really depends on how you stamp the faces and arrange the cute little body. I like that! I hope you do too!! I love the options here.

For a limited time, our collection of Hey, Foxy Stamps, Dies and Word Dies are 20% off! No code is necessary. The sale price will be automatically show in your card at check out. To find these and all sale items in our store CLICK HERE.

Love,

You Made It Monday Vol. 12

Hi there! To see our Design Team Call post please CLICK HERE.

Happy Valentines week!  It's hard to believe it's almost here.  I hope you are having a great time creating for the occasion and I hope you are making use of some Lil' Inker Designs products in the process.  I found some really wonderful creations for Valentines while I was out and about and I think your going to really enjoy them.  Maybe they will inspire you to get crafting today!  I hope so.   
 
Lori but a smile on my face, as she often does, by showing off our new release stamp set, Lovie Friends.

Lori's coloring is just wonderful on this little panda.  I wish I could color like this! I especially love how the heart seems to glow a little.  He looks especially sweet layered the way he is with a pink Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles to really set him off from the rest of the card.  I have no doubt that who ever gets this card will certainly be Lori's Valentine.  :) 

@Julenevk created this adorable set of cards using Perfect Pairs Stamps and they are just too cute.

Again with the awesome coloring!!  Julene colored these sweet pairs perfectly and layered them fabulously with cute papers and cuts using Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Mats: Side-Stitched Rectangles.  I just love the little touches of twine and those little white accents on the peas and carrot, perfect! 

Another adorable use of the Perfect Pairs Stamps come from @sakochako0803.

The super fun heart embossed background is adorable with our coffee and donut pair.  I especially like the way @sakochako0803 used the Hearts Banners Die Set to add such a fun touch to this card.  So sweet! (These stamps are out of stock but coming back SOON!)

    
Finally, this little peak from @bronih looks like a ton of fun!
 

Broni has me stalking her blog,  Splashes of Watercolor, to see just what the full card looks like using Stitched Hearts Die Set.  The color coming through is just so gorgeous and the drips of gold, wow!  I could see this same thing done with the new Dual Dotted Hearts Dies to have that gorgeous background showing through the dots also.  Can't wait to see the rest of the card, Broni!
