You Made It Monday, Vol. 62

It's time for another You Made It Monday and I can hardly wait to share the amazing creations I have spotted while looking for all that you have shared online for us to enjoy. You guys made it hard for me this month and it sure seems like more and more of you are sharing your awesome creations which I love. Keep it up! We hope you enjoy our monthly You Made It Monday post as much as we enjoy sharing it with you. So, keep sharing your creations and they could earn you $10 to spend in the Lil' Inker Designs shop. We hope that will keep you creating with our products and keep you sharing your creations.

Here's this month's sampling of awesome creations! 

First up, is this pretty little card from Jo, @joherbert.

I love the simple and pastel water colored background paired with kraft. It is a lovely combo and how Jo embossed the Bouquet of Roses Stamps in white on kraft before cutting it with the Bouquet of Roses Die, is pure genius. This card is simple and stunning and I am so happy to show it off a little more.

I love the adorable card Viola, @papiersucht, created here:

I love how Viola gave us just a peek of that super cool background she created. It is just right and it lets the cute kitty selfie pair from Cat Treats Stamps take center stage. I love the coloring of these cuties and cutting them with the coordinating Cat Treats Dies and popping them up with some foam just really highlights their adorableness. Love!

Next up, is another fun card that I couldn't help but share from Janel, @janelderrah.

This card is super awesome and you must go look at how it opens up to hold some cash for the grad. So awesome and perfect for the graduation glam girl in your life. Our Sassy Girl looks absolutely gorgeous on this blingy background and I love those lips! Super fun.

I'm really feeling the summer vibe with this card from Debbie, @djeanagnes.

I just love this awesome and tropical card. They background paper is awesome and I love how Debbie used the same color sequins in her shaker as her card stock. It is such a neat look! Plus, who can beat a pineapple made with our Pineapple Shaker Die Set? So many options and combos and I love the choices Debbie made.

This final card today will have you ready for any baby shower coming your way.

Susana, @handmade_by_susana_art, created this lovely pair of baby card that would be perfect for any new baby. I love how she layered our Baby Word Die in different colors. What a cool look. The Stork Stuff Dies and Stork Stuff Stamps looks right at home on the polka-dot background and the Quilted Stitched Spirals Die in the very back peeking through, perfection.

We hope you enjoyed this glimpse of the amazing creations you guys are sharing using the Lil' Inker Designs products. I can't wait to see what else I discover in the week's to come and have the pleasure of sharing them with you on our next addition of You Made It Monday.

Sweet Celebration Stamps

Sweet Celebration Die Set

 Celebrate Word Die

Here are projects I made for today but haven't shared yet and they're some of my favorites for this release!!!

Above I started with a grey card base which I die cut with our new Quilted Stitched So Sunny Die and then using the Sweet Celebration Stamps and Dies I created my stamped, textural focal point, banner, sentiments and flowers. The banner has a slight wave to it but the stamps do not so when I add my stamp to my acrylic block I curve it a bit to better fit my banner. It's so easy to do! Definitely give this a try when you're stamping too. 

My second card features our Brush Script Spring Word Dies and Sweet Celebration Dies. Also making an appearance here is our oldie but goodie Fringe Flower Die. I forgot how much i loooooove making felt flowers with this die!!! Yippeeee!!!! My card base was die cut with our Cover Up Die Stitched Woodgrain - also a personal fave. I love how this one came together!

Last but certainly not least because it's actually my favorite card from this release is this card made with Sweet Celebration Stamps and Dies, Celebrate Word Die and Quilted Stitched So Sunny Die. I started by stamping flowers and leaves several times and experimenting with colors and I settled on a black as the accent to my flowers for this project which I thought worked well when I decided to add a black sentiment banner. Isn't this so pretty?!! I'm so proud of it! It's a keeper!

I hope you're loving everything you see here!!!
