You Made It Monday, Vol. 63

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 a stunning card from Janet, @ribbons_and_paper.

Ok, can we take a second to ponder the glittery background and amazing colors on that Janet blended into that glitter background? It is amazing and having our Cover Up Die: Butterfly cut in black over the top is amazing and oh so striking. Absolutely stunning! Make sure you check out her other cards using this awesome Cover Up Die.

I had to follow that up with one more butterfly card. I couldn't resist when I saw Elisabeth's (@lizziescraftingretreat) card.

Hello, amazing alcohol ink background. WOW! I just love the bold color choice and our Cover Up Die: Butterfly is just the perfect contrast cut in white. Such a classy card. Love it!

Next up, are a couple of awesome birthday cards from Barbara, @btarayao.

More amazing color combos and ink blending. I just love all the fun stuff going on with inks lately. You guys never cease to amaze me with your creativity and Barbara created two gorgeous cards using our Happy Birthday To You Word Die along with her amazing ink blending. Gorgeous!

I'm still stuck on the ink blending and I couldn't help but show off this card from Anna, @annascraftyboutique.

Our Scooter Balloons Stamps and Scooter Balloons Dies are so cute and I was super excited to see them featured on this card from Anna. The background is so fun with the awesome blending and splatters and that scooter is totally the star. So fun!

The final card today from Veronica, @veezalis, is pretty hard to scroll by on Instagram...it is fab!

I love the soft ink blending and the white splatter on this card because it really makes the wreath Veronica created pop. The flowers from Sweet Celebration Stamps are the perfect color combo to adorn the wreath from our Sweet Celebration Dies. I also love that the Celebrate Word Die is not cut from your traditional black or white but this super cool blue with some cool pattern. It is one amazing card to finish off this month's post!

You Made It Monday, Vol. 41

It's time for another You Made It Monday!  We are super excited to share some more amazing creations that you, our customers, have created and shared with us online.  You Made It Monday is now a monthly feature and there are prizes!!!  That's right!  If you're featured in our You Made It Monday post you will receive a $10 gift certificate to Lil' Inker Designs!  Isn't that awesome??

You know how much we love seeing what you create with the products in the Lil' Inker Designs store.  You never cease to amaze us with your talent and creativity. Here is just a sampling of the awesome creations you have shared with us lately.

I couldn't help but stop and stare at this gorgeous creation from, Esther (@thecarnelianwood).
 

I know, it's another card featuring Wreath of Roses Stamps but you guys make it look so gorgeous, I can't resit sharing these amazing cards. I love the amazing stripes Esther created to help make her colors pop.  Let's just talk about those colors...wow!  What a fun choice of colors and cut out with the Wreath of Roses Dies and popped up on those stripes, it just shines!  Gorgeous.

I stumbled upon this card from Jennifer, Ladybug Designs, when I was playing along with a challenge.  It was so pretty, I had to share.

It's amazing how a simple piece of patterned paper and a killer die and stamp set can create an amazing card.  This is the perfect example of that.  The Celebrate Word Die look absolutely amazing mixed with the layers on this card and the banner from the Sweet Celebration Dies and sentiment from Sweet Celebration Stamps finish this card off perfectly.  So simple and so beautiful!

Another card that really caught my eye comes from Rosa (@scrapconr).

I just love Rosa's little touches of green on the gorgeously stamped Be the Reason Someone Smiles Today Stamps.  I love the touch of the puffy heart and the background is so fun and unique.  Thanks so much for sharing!

 
There is a bunch of cuteness on this card from Friederike (@greteiris).

 

I just love the adorable background created with the adorable images from the I'll Be Brief Stamps.  It is super cute with the tone on tone look.  The little windows are just perfect to have the sweet animal images giving you a little peek at their cute briefs too.  This card totally made me smile!

The final card today is putting me in the fall mood and comes from Debby (@debbydoescards).

I couldn't resist sharing this card.  Not only is it super cute but I love the Pumpkin & Flower Greetings Stamps that were used to create it.  The colors Debby chose and little accents of gloss really make this little pumpkin the only image this perfectly CAS card needs to make an impact.  Love it!

 
We hope you enjoyed this small glimpse of the amazing creations you guys are sharing using Lil’ Inker Designs products.  I can’t wait to see what else I discover in the weeks to come.  As I mentioned above.  You can expect to see You Made It Mondays on the first Monday of each month, unless it's a new release day, then we'll bump it to the next 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!!!
