Masculine and Feminie

Hi there! Amy Kolling from Lil' Inker Designs here! I'd love to share two projects with you today for the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Contest using goodies from Lil' Inker Designs!!

 I am so excited to be here among the

Top 15 on the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol card contest! 

I could not have gotten here without everyone who has taken their time to come vote for me.

Thank you so much!

This round's challenge was to create a card using a product for both a masculine AND a feminine card!  I decided to break out my NEW Texture Plate from Lil' Inker Designs.  If you have visited my blog lately, then you know that it is an AWESOME product that I dearly LOVE!  The other product I used on both cards was some sweet new denim paper from Simple Stories Summer Fresh line.

Here are my cards together..........

I decided to ink up my texture plate for a faux letterpress look.  I then cut out the center of the frame so that I could use it like a traditional frame!  So let's take a look at my feminine card.......



My color scheme was totally inspired by THIS paper by Simple Stories.  I just fell in love with this paper.  I used Sky ink from Amuse Studio for the letterpress color on the woodgrain frame.  I then carefully used a craft knife and ruler to cut out the center of the frame.  I then sewed together the pattern papers with a zig zag stitch and layered them behind the frame.  What about those flowers?
They are the rose dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.....miniature, medium, and large.  You may be thinking......she cut all those out??  Well yes, but this die is like a border die and can cut 6 roses at a time!  Saves lots of time!  Simply thread with a brad and adhere!

I Miss You Card Using Sentiment Flag Additions Set

Hello everyone! This is Jen from Jen's Ink Spot with you today!  I am going to share a card with you that features several new Lil' Inker Designs products from the last release!

One of my favorite things about the new Sentiment Flags Additions set is that it includes a solid flag image!   I loved the versatility that this gave the set!  If you have followed my blog for long, you know that I love banners and the solid flag image was perfect for creating a fun and unique banner!

To make the banner, I die cut several of the Sentiment Flags from muslin.  I then stamped the solid image onto the muslin.  I really liked how well the ink transferred to the muslin.

I then lined up the banner flags where I wanted them and sewed them onto the wood patterned paper from My Mind's Eye.  I cut the last banner in half and then frayed the edges so part of the flag was missing.  For the red & cream mats I impressed the cardstock with the woodgrain side of the Texture Plate Collection - Frame 1.  It works so well with the wood patterned paper that is so trendy right now!

Last but not least, I added the "I Miss You" sentiment that is also part of the new Sentiment Flag Additions set.  I really like the font and options that are available in this set!

I included photos of all of the products available with this set!  These are the individual items, but several of them are available in sets as well, so be sure to check those out as well!

Design Team Call for 2 Cute Ink

Good morning! We are looking to create a small, special assignment design team to work with our 2 Cute Ink images! More information about the call is available HERE. Thank you!!

Sharing...

I made this card earlier this week and finally wanted to share.

It's simple and elegant.

I absolutely LOVE, did I say LOVE?  Yes, this new texture plate from Lil' Inker Designs.

I used the texture plate on a white card base. 
I then diecut the Kaleidoscope butterfly from Memory Box using both the negative and the actual diecut. 
Mounting my negative panel on foam tape to red cardstock layered behind it.
So much dimension and adds so much class.
The sentiment is from Flags and Tags stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs.
That font is just gorgeous and there are tons of sentiments in this set!
Now, I could have used some pearls or gems but I seriously think it needs nothing more!

Have a great Friday!

Felt Bow Card & Gift Bag

Hello! Debby Hughes here! I hope you are having a lovely weekend :) I thought I’d pop in today to share a little card and gift bag I put together. Here let me show you first and then I will get chatting!



I really wanted to have a go at cutting the new Lil’ Inker bows from felt. I had some lovely thick cream felt from Papertrey Ink that just fit the bill perfectly. I tied a wooden button around the bow with some rustic twine and loved the result! I then remembered the little jute gift bag I had stashed away - what a lovely combination they made. I added a sentiment flag stamped with the “to/from” out of the flags and tags stamp set. I was so happy with this rustic little gift bag but it needed a card to go with it. So I put together another bow and got out some kraft card. I embossed the kraft to give a texture which in my mind fitted with the jute bag. I mounted the kraft onto some card and popped it up on the card base with dimensionals, added the bow and stamped a sentiment from flags and tags to finish it off.

Have a great day!

Debby
