Lil' Inker Designs and CardMaker Mag Blog Hop


Hello there!!!! Welcome to a very special and crafty blog hop with

and
I'm soooo excited to be here today! Today, the Design Team Members of both Lil' Inker Designs and CardMaker are joining crafty forces to bring you wonderful and inspiring projects made with stamp and dies from Lil' Inker Designs.

If you're new to Lil' Inker Designs, well, WELCOME!!!! Lil' Inker Designs is a small, woman owned business established in 2010 which I, Laura Pryor, operate out of my home just outside of Boston. We design clear photopolymer stamps and metal dies, all of the BEST in industry quality and all manufactured here in the United States. I hope you'll check us out!

If you're just visiting for the first time, I'd love to know that! Leave me a comment below. If you're already a friend, please say hi!!! :)

CardMaker Magazine is pretty phenomenal. Do you subscribe? CLICK HERE to check out their website. It's a great publication to keep your inspiration fresh and the crafty ideas flowing!!

I made a little something to share with you today. Have a look!


Here are the supplies from Lil' Inker Designs used to make this card:




I started by heating embossing this floral piece from my Corner Adorner Stamp Set onto watercolor paper which I then water colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. 


This was a totally therapeutic coloring session. It was freeing to be able to go right over the white embossing!


Then, I die cut my Mom word from silver card stock and added it to foam to make it pop off the page. I completed my sentiment using my Mom and Dad Sentiment Stamps. I'll be giving this to Mom for Mother's Day. 


I'm so happy with how this turned out and how easily it came together! I hope you like it!

Ok, I am actually the last stop on today's hop, but in case you came here directly below is the entire hop list so that you can go back and start from the beginning!














I'm giving away a prize!!!!!!!

    Wow, Laura! Your card is stunning! The watercoloring is beautiful and I adore the contrast with the sentiment (and how you designed the sentiment with the heart for the "o" in Mom - such a great detail!).

    The hop was so fun with all of the fab cards from your DT! A great deal of inspiration along the way. Thanks to you and Cardmaker Magazine for collaborating for today's hop!

    Laura, Congratulations on being a "one woman show" in your successful business! I am so proud of you for that! I love it when a woman ventures into business on her own and "makes it happen!" So good for you and I can honestly say, after using your products that they are of great quality!
    Your card is just stunning and the Corner Adorner set is on my wish list also. (Its a big list! LOL)
