You Made It Monday Vol. 26


Who loves coffee??  Who loves the Coffee Talk Stamp Set?  Well, I hope you saw our post on Instagram about dies coming June 6th for this awesome stamp set.  We are so excited for this new release and to bring you these awesome dies for a set that we know you love.  Since you still have to wait to see what the design team has come up with using the new dies, I figured I'd whet your appetite with some awesome cards I've found using Coffee Talk.   
 
First up, an awesome gift card holder from Wendy at Pink and Dotty.


I absolutely adore this gift card creation from Wendy.  I especially love how she colored her delicious blended coffee drink.  That polk-a-dot bit of paper piecing is so cute and the added shading on it is just perfect.  What's best though, soon Wendy can create more gift card holders without having to fussy cut her cute coffee creations!

This next card comes from @asplashofcolourbylucie.


I love how Lucie dressed up a white Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangle with a little blue background inking to really make her iced coffee pop.  I especially love how she used the ice from the Coffee Talk Stamps and gave them some shine.  This is wonderful!  

Are you ready this fun take by Melissa, @inkedregards.


The way Melissa cut this image and colored half of it is SO cool.  It is totally unique and loads of fun.  I also love how she framed it on a Dual Dotted Square.  It looks like a marquee add for a fun coffee shop that I think we'd all like to go to.

This card by @kumiko_hata proves that some things are just as perfect when left to shine on their own.



From the ever so faint inking behind the cup to the wonderful coloring and shading, this is one great card.  That cup cozy...LOVE!  The best part, think how easy it will be to add your own personal touches to your adorable coffees without having to cut them by hand.  I'm telling you, having these dies is going to do for Coffee Talk what flavored creamer does for coffee.  WOW!  Is it June 6th yet?

Final Day of Spring Sale and You Made It Monday Vol. 25


Happy Monday, everyone!  Don't forget today is the last day to take advantage of our Spring Sale!


In honor of that, I decided to show off some of your projects that use some amazing Lil' Inker Designs products that you could be saving big on today.  Don't forget to use the code SPRING16 to save 16% on all our products with the exception of our April Release.  Ready for a little enabling? 
 
Father's Day is just around the corner and this card from @zenlotuscreations is perfect!


What a gorgeous heart made by inking the background and letting it peek through a Stitched Hearts Die.  I just love the raised Dad Word Die.  It adds SO much dimension and it is the perfect die for Father's Day.  Finished off with a sentiment from  Mom & Dad Sentiments Stamps, this card is the best.  :)

As much as we all hate needing sympathy cards, there is no doubt that the Inky Flowers Stamps are the best for the job.


See what an elegant sympathy card @anjabytyqi created using them?  These flowers help keep everything simple while still adding a special something to the card.  Way to use Inky Flowers, Anja!

While we're on the subject of flowers, we can't forget this card by @chebu617.


Look at all those gorgeous Perky Posies.  Isn't this the cutest spring card ever?  The colors and the scattering of Perky Posies...simply perfect.  I also love the use of the Bow Die - Mini.  It really pulls it all together.  WOW!

For my last temptation, I mean project, I'm going to show off this gift bag by @runaji.


I'm a huge fan of all of our Boxed Up Greetings but this one really makes this gift bag pop!  The Boxed Up Thank You Greeting Die makes it super easy to make a card, gift bag, tag, etc.  It's a fun way to add a sentiment to anything and can even hold down a card all on it's own.  Can't beat that!

Happy Sale Day 2 & Update on Website Technical Issue

Happy Saturday, Lil' Inker Friends! It's Day 2 of our big SALE!!


I'm amazed at how inspired our designers were with our Perfect Pairs Stamps and brand new coordinating dies!!



Have a look at the projects they made to inspire you!


Here, Chrissy's Pair seems to dance across her card front! So Cute! That bacon though!!!! Am I right???



OOOOO and together here with our Doodled Love Word Die? SUPER!!!!!


This card's been expertly crafted by Jen Carter. Look at how her little Pair is on a pedestal here! Great use of our All About Ampersand Dies and Stamps!




This made me squeal with delight and then run to my craft room to color these guys!!! The sweetest EVER!!!!! And here Stephanie used our Anytime Tags 2 Dies which are so awesome and ON SALE!


LOVE!!!!


This last project by Amy Kolling is a total delight! I love the black and white here and the Pair in color is the perfect POP!

Yesterday our website was experiencing some technical issues. Apparently there was a sporadic outage with our postal pricing software which was causing an error message at checkout saying something like "One or more of the items in your cart cannot ship to your address". This message is a result of a failed attempt to retrieve a postal rate.
Again this is a sporadic issue so if you submit your order again it will go through or you can try again in 10 minutes or so. It figures we experience something like this for the first time and during a sale weekend!

Thank you everyone! I am here working this weekend in between some activities and a baby shower and a First Communion party tomorrow. If you need help with anything please email me at lilinkerdesigns@gmail.com and I'll do my best to get back to you STAT!

Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy our projects for today. Have a great weekend!!



Love,
Laura

Announcing a Sale Beginning Friday, May 13th!!!

Hi there, Lil' Inker Friends!! How are you today?

I'm stopping by to let you know that we are going to be having a SALE beginning later this week!!! YAHOOO!!!


It's been a little while now since we had a sale so I'm excited to say here's one for Spring 2016!!! We're offering 16% off everything in store with one exclusion - our latest release items. These would be the items released in April, 2016.

Our sale begins Friday, May 13th and continues through Monday, May 16th (EST) which gives you FOUR DAYS TO SAVE!!! 

We're telling you early so that you can plan out what you'd like and get them while they're still in stock!

You will need to apply a code for the sale discount code to be applied to your shopping cart. The code is SPRING16. It Must be used at checkout time because no refunds or adjustments can be made.

And just a couple of other housekeeping items.....the sale is applicable to in stock merchandise only (no rainchecks) and may not be applied to previously placed orders. This sale is also only applicable for our retail customers and is not valid if you're a wholesale client. Thank you for understanding!

Isn't this exciting???!!!!!

To inspire you, I'm posting some previously made projects that I love and they all use goodies that are ON SALE 5/13/2016 - 5/18/2016 (EST)! 















PLEASE NOTE: We now have a die set to coordinate with our Perfect Pairs Stamps seen here in Amy Kolling's collage above. This new die set and stamp set are part of our Spring Sale!



And that's just a wee peek at some of the things that are on sale!!

PLEASE NOTE 2: We are restocking three items for this sale BEFORE we receive the inventory:


We're doing this because these items are arriving so close after the sale but will not be here in time and we know so many of you are waiting for these items and we really wanted you to be able to order these at the sale price!

What does this mean?

If you place an order during our sale that contains one of the three items listed above your order will not be shipping until approximately 5/23 or 5/24 - ish. I'm sure you won't mind waiting a few extra days if you're able to get them at a discount. I know I wouldn't! :)


Ok, so thank you so so very much. Please feel free to share information about our sale so that all your crafty friends know about it too!

If there is anything I can answer for you about the sale or otherwise please feel free to email me directly at lilinkerdesigns@gmail.com.

Thanks so so much! CLICK HERE to go to the store and start your shopping list!!


Love,

How was your weekend?  We hope it was amazing and full of fun and inspiration.  The weather is warming and you guys continue to heat things up using our Lil' Inker Designs products.  This group of projects are going to really get you excited.  I know they did me! 
 
I'm starting with a bang by sharing this card from @caffeinatedpapercuts.


Just look at that amazing background!  I love how our Mom Word Die is popped up from the background, subtle but still eye catching.  Jen created an elegant and fabulous tribute to mom!  WOW!

I was looking through some older projects tagged on Instagram and I just fell in love with this card from @lollipolly.


I love the gorgeous colors and how the Stitched Butterflies Dies pin the banner to the card front.  Plus, layered butterflies and sequins?  Perfect!  

@angelkitty41 shared this adorable card using the cuties in Kite Flying Stamps.  


Just look at this adorable scene!  I love the clouds in the background and the grass!  It's just perfect to show off the super fun colored bear and kite cut using the Kite Flying Dies and stamped with the Kite Flying Stamps.  Adorable!

Last but not least, can I let you go without sharing a shaker card?


Kristie, @bestthingsinlifearepink, shared this tasty card made using our Donuts Die Set.  I love her choice of colors and the combo of stripes and polka dots.  It's just perfect.
