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.

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!

You Made It Monday Vol. 17


Spring is on the horizon and we are feeling the warmth here at Lil' Inker Designs.  As I was out and about on social media this week, I couldn't help but notice all the blooms.  Such amazing and cheery creations everywhere and I can't wait to share them!  Let's get started.
 
First up, you can't help but smile when you see this gorgeous creation from Laurie of Stamping Up North.


I just love the amazing and springy colors of this card and how Laurie used the Perky Posies Die Set to really highlight the frame on her card which she created using Stitched Mats: Circles.  Such perfectly pretty layers!  Gorgeous, Laurie.

Lisa of Embellish My World shared this gorgeous creation using Perky Posies Die Set and I just love it. 


Lisa created this awesome window bursting with flowers using On the Diagonal Die and Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles.  My favorite part?  The way Lisa tucked the little flower around the "h" in the Hello Word Die.  Adorable!

Are you ready to see another amazing creation?  This one comes from @chebu617 on Instagram.


Look at the gorgeous fold on this card and those sweet soft colors.  Amazing!  The little striped bow made using the Bow Die - Mini is a wonderful addition to this card.  Could the Perky Posies Die Set look any sweeter?
 
Finally, this gorgeous card by Lin whose blog, Sending Hugs, is just a joy.


Lin created these gorgeous flowers using the Spring Flowers Die Set and a fabulous combo of patterned papers.  I just love how they anchor the Boxed Up Birthday Greeting Die on this gorgeous card.  Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Lin!

Flashback Friday!

Hi there!!! It's Flashback Friday!!!

I hope you're having a wonderful week! I thought I'd stop by with a quick little post which I'm hoping you'll enjoy.


Today's Flashback Friday Post is all about our little Spot On Spring Stamp Set!




This is a set that can do so many different things that I think you'll be amazed. The fonts and sentiments are terrific as are the images included in the set which happen to coordinate with our Connected Circles Die.

Have a look at the projects our Design Team made with these products and be inspired!


Here, former team member Kristen used the flower and leaf stamp from the set to make this lovely little arrangement. Easy and nice focal impact!


This is also a great set for St. Paddy's Day because of the "Lucky" word stamp included in the set!





How pretty is this?? Simple flowers and leaves stamped and the "Happy" word stamp is added as a focal. LOVE THIS FONT!



Another great job here by Jen Carter who added the "Happy" word stamp as a stand alone sentiment to accompany the great big flower made using our Spring Flowers Dies!


Karen made this set shine by using one of the patterned circle stamps and turning it into a fun and funky flower which she repeated in a great color scheme. Also used here is our Spring Sentiments Stamps. Perfection!


This is a card I made also focusing on the "Happy" word stamp and creating a flower. If I remember correctly this was made in under 5 minutes. :)


Here I used a grouping of images from Spot On Spring and created a clever sentiment. Love ya!



This is so pretty! Amy Kolling made this set pop with her choice of colors and images from the set made into the perfect little flower scene. It's great, right??



This is something I made for you new for today! OMGSH I CRAFTED!!! Call Guinness! Hahahahah!! It felt great to get crafty with this stamp set. I decided to focus on something for St. Paddy's Day seeing as how it's next week. I stamped the word Lucky with green ombre ink many times which I cut out using a Dual Stitched Square and added a piece of wood paper using my Stitched Scallop Border die. I opted to use our Sending You Stamps to finish the greeting which I cut into a flag. Then, I made a three leaf clover using my Of the Hearts Die and some green felt I had on hand. I was "lucky" enough (see what I did there) to be able to snap this quick photo for you today. Lucky you! LOL!!!!! 

This stamp set is truly a delight. I love the focal words included in the set and the fact that some of the images in the set can be used to build and/or complete your greeting and then there are some which are ornamental and so many things can be made with them. Give this one a try if you don't already have it! For a limited time, this set is 20% off in our store along with our coordinating Connected Circle Dies and more.

These products happen to be part of a family of goodies I think you all should have. Ha!!!! These items also coordinate with our original Spot On Stamps, Circles and Diamonds Stitched Pattern Die and our Darling Diamonds Sentiments. I love when things are designed to work together because it just makes for easy and effortless crafting.

Please CLICK HERE to shop our Flashback Friday Sale items which includes the Spot On Spring Stamps, Spot On Stamps, Darling Diamonds Stamps and Connected Circles Die!!!

I hope you enjoyed this quick post. Have a wonderful weekend!

Love,
