You Made It Monday, Vol. 44

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 still can't believe Christmas is over but I just can't help sharing these gorgeous creations you all have been posting.  Just look at this card by Laurie, @crazycardlady.
 

Don't you just love this pastel take on Christmas?  The colors Laurie chose for the Festive Florals Stamps are amazing and the layering she got by cutting them out with the Festive Florals Dies...perfection!  The card base color is perfect and the sentiment stamped on the Stitched Scallop Border Die fits perfectly.  It's simply a gorgeous card!

While we are on the subject of perfectly festive pastels, you must see this creation from Susie, @scmoore.

This gorgeous card uses the Vintage Christmas Wreath Stamps and Vintage Christmas Wreath Die to really establish a gorgeous focal point for this card.  I love the coloring and how Susie created the space in the center for the sentiment.  Wow!  Be sure to check out Susie's Instagram feed because I know I saw another amazing card using these products.  Thanks for sharing!

Speaking of the Vintage Christmas Wreath Stamps, I just love this card from Ann, @annchuangcrafts.

Ann shows you just how bright and happy the Vintage Christmas Wreath Stamps can be.  There is nothing subtle about this fabulous card.  The shading is dramatic and beautiful and the card just shines with fun little extras here and there.  Love it!

Another card I found that really grabbed my attention was this one from Maria, @a_country_home.

A card made completely with sentiments?  Crazy isn't it?  Not if you have a sentiment set like All The Christmas You'll Ever Need.  Just look at the amazing background that Maria created.  It's amazing how just a bit of twine and a sentiment in the center finishes it all off so perfectly.  Wow!

Finally, to finish off this holiday season Katya created an amazing interactive card and shared it on her Instagram feed, @adventuresincrafts.

The Cover Up Die: Geometric Snow really looks amazing as an opening panel on this simple and elegant Christmas card.  The white on white is lovely with a touch of shimmer and purple.  The perfect way to finish this post.

 
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.

It's Flashback Friday!

Guess what?? Today is FLASHBACK FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! Fri-yay!!!

Hello Spring and hello Lil' Inker Designs friends! Welcome to our Flashback Friday Post, where we share a project using a previously released stamps or dies as the focus of the post. To celebrate, our flashback item or items featured will also be ON SALE for a limited time! 

Karen B. from The Bald Dragonfly here and I've got a spring tag duo showcasing an easy, custom designed background using the Spring Sentiments Stamp Set. I am also featuring the adorable, versatile and extremely affordable Bunnies & Bows Die Set and Anytime Tags Die Set and Anytime Tags Die Set 2. (I also threw in some other Lil' Inker Design products that will be mentioned, because so many Lil' Inker Design products work so well together.)

After stamping a random pattern of the small flowers from Spring Sentiments onto white cardstock and coloring in with markers, I die cut a tag using the Anytime Tags Die Set. I created a sentiment border with the Stitched Scallop Border Die and Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles, and then stamped a sentiment from Spring Sentiments.

The second tag was made with the same custom stamped background from Spring Sentiments, but colored with slightly lighter shades and die cut with the Anytime Tags Die Set 2. I then added a stamped banner made with the Warm Welcome Dies. I die cut a cute bunny from Bunnies & Bows Die Set and popped him up with dimensional adhesive.

Here are the featured products used in my tags today which are also ON SALE 15% off through April 7th, EST! No code is necessary. Just add these items to your cart and save!

Here are a couple of other projects we're flashing back to that have been made with Spring Sentiments Stamps for your viewing pleasure and hopefully inspiration as well.

Thank you so much for joining me today for this fun post! Have an excellent weekend!

Join us Monday, April 3rd for our brand new April Release Blog Hop!
