You Made It Monday Vol. 21

Oh my!  I'm so excited to share this new group of amazing creations.  In case you haven't noticed, I really enjoy seeing how your creative minds use our wonderful line of Lil' Inker Designs products.  I found another great round of inspiration for you all. 
 
How can you not be inspired by this card by Jinny Newlin?  

This gorgeous card makes me feel like summer is just around the corner.  I love Jinny's fabulous water colored sky.  It really shows off the Rainbows & Clouds Die Set.  Wow!!  Jinny finished the card off perfectly with those sparkly sequins.

Next up, Larissa Heskett, created an amazing card that will make you want to leap out of your seat.

Larissa used our Cover Up Die: Diamond Lace as a spring board for this sweet card!  I love the pattern from the cover up die on a patterned paper.  It looks so nice!  On top of that, the layered Dotted Tags Dies are super cute!  I'm leaping for joy!

Speaking of tags, these tags are amazing!

@sable39 created these gorgeous tags with our Perky Posies Die Set.  I love the springy color combo and how each one is so unique.  So pretty!

 Finally, I think I found the perfect project to wrap up this post.  A gorgeous envelope made by @nijiiro_nijiiro.

I adore a vellum envelope and with this gorgeous pattern?  Wow!  The twine ties everything up so nicely and the finishing touches using Perky Posies Die Set are just amazing.  The little flower dangling is just too cute for words.  So pretty, @nijiiro_nijiiro.

You Made It Monday Vol. 20 & More!

Wow!  Did this week fly by or is it just me?  I suppose that's alright thought because it means I get to share another round of amazing creations with you guys.  This week's bunch really make Lil' Inker Designs proud.  I just know you are going to love them!
 
This card by Lollipolly of My Girl Lollipop just couldn't stop grabbing my attention!  

The bright clean white with those pops of color!  WOW!!  The Stitched Butterflies Die Set really looks sensational here.  Truly, clean and simple perfection!

This next card by bblaker13 on Flickr is just too precious!

That plaid is adorable but even better is the use of the Silly Stitched Die Set.  I love how it frames the card and the sentiment!  So cheery and that bit of twine...LOVE!

I have to give @231_mumu a round of applause for this amazing card.  Talk about elegant!

Another perfect use of color to really draw your eye in.  This card makes me love the Sketched Floral Stamps even more!  Everything is so subtle but the flower centers...bam!  So simple and so stunning!
 
Finally, if you love the Cover Up Die: Alphabet then @harumayuko is going to make you smile.

I just love how simple these are.  They let the colors and the little additions really shine.  The best thing?  How fun would it be to crank out a bunch of these for shower thank yous?  Awesome!

In other news, we just restocked our very popular Dip Dyed Ombré Paper Pads. They are go gorgeous! It's nice to have them back.

Also recently returned to the store are our Bunny Hugger Die & Stamp Bundles. YAY!! These sold out very fast from our last release and are getting rave reviews from our customers!

Also, we'll be back on April 18th with a brand new release that you won't want to miss! We have something for both the women and the men in our lives and so much more!!!

Enjoy and have a wonderful week,

You Made It Monday Vol. 19

We hope you all had a wonderful weekend and got to spend some quality time with friends and family.  One thing I do know, you guys have been busy creating amazing things with our Lil' Inker Designs products.  I never cease to be amazed by what I find around the web. 
 
I just love this gorgeous card Janelle, @wallstreetcraft, shared on Instagram.

I just love how the bunny from Bunnies & Bows Die Set is peeking through the window made with a Stitched Mats: Circle.  Absolutely adorable!  Janelle's combo of patterns and colors is just perfect and super springy.  Thanks so much for sharing!

I stumbled upon this gorgeous creation by Jeanne of A Kept Life while looking through our Flickr group.

Jeanne did some amazing things with the water coloring on this card.  It's amazing how much these colors make the gold Girl's Best Friend Diamond Die pop on this card.  Absolutely gorgeous!  The sentiment from Girl's Best Friend Stamps is just perfect in the corner also.  So sparkly!  

Next up, Sarah-Jane created this amazing card using our Coffee Cozy Die Set.

Her water color panel is trimmed adorably with the Silly Stitched Die Set which makes it pop against that gray card base and how cute is the steam stitching?  I just love the colors and pattern of the coffee cup.  Perfection!  The sentiment from Coffee Cozy Stamps and the twine finish off this card perfectly!
 
Finally, @lotsoflovelies, shared this adorable mom card on Instagram.

The Mom Word Die is the star of this adorable card from JV.  I just love how it shines on that adorable heart paper.  What an adorable way to tell mom just how special she is!  Thanks for sharing.

In other exciting news...it's Easter! I have some stellar creations for you today made by Design Team Member Lea Lawson. Poor love! Lea was so sick during our last release but I didn't want you to miss out on seeing her gorgeous projects. Everything you see here was made with items from our March Release including the Bunny Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle which was just restocked last night.

Enjoy! Have a wonderful Easter and we'll see you soon!

You Made It Monday Vol. 18

It's officially spring and Easter is just a hop, skip, and a jump away!  I've been busy jumping around the internet and finding your gorgeous creations all over the place!  I can't wait to share them!  So, here we go.
 
First up, Lynn shared this elegant card on her blog the other day and I just love it!

The all white is so classy and I love the way Lynn embossed the two stripes.  The coloring on the Egg & Flower Stamp is just perfect and she popped it up by cutting it out with the Dual Stitched Egg & Easter Greeting Die Set.  Did you notice how Lynn used different colors in the middle of the large flower?  How beautiful!

Shemaine Smith shared this wonderful creation with us on our Facebook page.

Just look at this wonderful card Shemaine created using our Dip Dyed Ombre Paper Pad and the Cover Up Die: Diamond Lace to create an amazing backdrop for this adorable egg created using the Egg & Flower Stamp and the Dual Stitched Egg & Easter Greeting Die Set. The twine and little flower just finish it off beautifully!  Thanks for sharing, Shemaine!

Next up, Diane used Stitched Easter Basket Die Set to create an adorable card just perfect for Easter!

I love how Diane used the basket to make this amazing background and layered it on some paper from our new Easter Greetings Paper Pack.  The felt bow and the bit of lace on the Stitched Easter Basket Die is so pretty.  Diane finished it off perfectly with a sentiment from Dual Stitched Egg & Easter Greeting Die Set.
 
Finally, who could resist these adorable clips created by Bella.

Bella created magic with these adorable paperclips topped with Bunnies & Bows Die Set.  These would be so adorable in a planner, on a card, or clipped to just about anything.  Super sweet!

Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!!! Laura here with a card for the Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!!

I am a coffee fanatic. I drink it all day long. I have to have it everywhere I go. In fact, one arm is always bent at a 45 degree angle because I never leave home without my ol' pal, travel coffee cup.

This just about sums up my day....

Bwaaahahahahaahahahah!!!!!

I made a card to share with you today to hopefully inspire your love for coffee and adorable coffee cards.

I made this using our newly released Coffee Cozy Dies (currently OOS but returning next week) and our very popular Coffee Talk Stamps. I love this little saying and it's a great sentiment for a friend who needs a little reminder to take a minute for themselves. SO, take some time for you and get crafting!!!

Also featured here are our Fresh Cut Flowers Dies and Stamps, Stitched Mats: Circles, Stitched Scallop Border Die and a cute little sequin mix I purchased at Butterfly Reflections Ink to make my shaker window.
