October Release/ Lil' Inker Designs/ Color Throwdown 516


It's an exciting day around here. It's RELEASE Day for Lil' Inker Designs and there are some fun and fabulous stamps and dies just for you! 


Oh, wait....before I dive in, you can find all the release details over on Laura's Blog. check it out! You can find the shopping link HERE....but you'll want to wait to see what the team has to share. It's soooo good, trust me. 

 Don't forget....you can WIN IT ALL! 
 All you have to do is leave comments along your way  today and every day, as you hop.  We'll pick one winner from a DT Member's blog.


My first card today features two of the new stamp sets,Hap-pie Thanksgiving Stamps and Blossoms and Banners Autumn Stamps. I combined them to make this sweet card using this week's Color Throwdown colors (I'm this week's host.....see the details for THAT challenge at the end of this post). 



I started with some ink smooshing in the background and then stamped the pie and the banner and used my Copic markers to color them up. I used the coordinating die for for the banner, it's called Blossom and Banners Autumn dies and I fussy cut the pie image. I did use the  Pie Die Set to cut out the whipped cream topper and then hit it with some Stickles glitter. mmmmmmm. So good! here's a close up. I adore the sweet sentiment from Hap-pie Thanksgiving Stamps. 


Switching gears to a bit of Christmas, I used the gorgeous new Classic Christmas Stamps, the mistletoe image, and embossed it a few times with white embossing powder and then sponged on some Distress Oxide inks to make the image pop. 


I used one of the new (AMAZING, I might add) new holiday word dies to keep the focus on the beautiful stamped image. I am a sucker for a giant word die, this one is called Happy Holidays Word Die and I cut it twice in two different colors to create a shadow effect. I love how it turned out. You need them all....just saying. 


Here is the blog list for today!
Don't miss the awesomeness from the design team.

Picket Fence Studios October Release

I've got new stamps to share! Woohoo! It is RELEASE DAY with Picket Fence Studios and I'm so excited to share the fun mix of goodies for you. It's a bit of an eclectic mix, but I loved stamping with the images. There really is something for everyone.

Let's kick it off with the first set I squealed over. It's called My Man, My Friend. I'm a lone woman in my house, surrounded my my husband and our three teenage boys so a new guy set is right up my ally. I adore the silhouette images of the men. I used one for a graphic birthday card. 

I added some Reverse Confetti dies in the background in Stormy card stock and added some pattern paper to add some interest. I stamped the sentiment from My Man, My Friend in Mist ink onto a strip of Mist card stock. I tucked in some sequins in masculine colors for a pop of wow! 


Let's change gears to Christmas. I made a tag for a holiday package with the adorable A Gnome Winter stamp set. I colored up the gnome with Copics and added some text to the background of the tag. I finished off the tag with an additional sentiment stamped on Olive card stock. 


Here is a close up of the details. I added some snowflakes and red twine. 


This next stamp set makes me very giddy! I just love the little critters, especially that sweet little birdie. I did some ink blending in the background with the Life Changing Blending Brushes and some Distress Inks. I then added a layer of snow with a Border Builder die from Lil' Inker Designs. 



There is a little puddle stamp and I stamped it in Sno Cone ink and then added some glitter. After coloring up the images, I cut them out and added them to the top of the icy puddle. I added the sentiment along the bottom in Midnight ink. That sentiment....it's my favorite. 


My final card today combines to two of the new sets releasing. On the left side I did some tone on tone stamping with Mist ink and Mist card stock. I stamped the gorgeous Lily Bouquet image. 


I added a few strips of pattern paper and then on the right side, I stamped one of the tall sentiments from Weathering the Storm Together. It's a small but mighty set. 


Thanks so much for hanging with me today.
Be sure to check out the rest of the team to see what they created with the new release.

This sweet little pup was just begging me to ink him up, so I did. The whole set is from Picket Fence Studios and it's called Friendly Mutts. It is such a sad reason to send a card, but I love that I have stamps to help create a card that might put a smile on the other end of it. There are happy sentiments included to, I'll have to use the other favorite greeting next time. 

I used the Scallop Square Confetti Cut from Reverse Confetti  in Rust to create the pretty frame and in the background I stenciled in some chevrons  from the Pointed Out Stencil in yellow and orange ink with the Life Changing Blender Brushes. Rounding out the colors for the challenge, I inked the sentiment in Dark Roast ink. Here's a closer look.

Reverse Confetti/ Happy Fall-days/ Final Day

It's Day 3 of our Happy Fall-idays Blog hop with Reverse Confetti. We have had a great couple of days and if you missed the first two, be sure to check it out. There are lots of great projects that the Crew has shared. 


Today is the last day to order with the LOVEFALL discount code. 

We are shifting gears to Christmas for today's inspiration. I still wanted to  use the stitched square die from the Bag & Tag Creator Confetti Cut, so I used it today for a shaker card. I started the card with the awesome Triangles Cover Plate. I cut it from Premium Polar White, I love the crispness of this card stock. It's so good. I then cut a window from some Mist card stock with the Bag & Tag Creator Confetti cut. 


I stamped a trio of Triangle Trees in Mist, Baby Blue, and Navy inks. I used the Triangle Tree Confetti Cut to cut each of them out and added them to the bottom of the window. I then finished off the card front with the sentiment in Navy ink along the bottom. 


Here is a close up of the Triangle Trees and the sequin shaker details. I love the blue trees, they make me smile. 


Here is the list of crew members hopping today. 


Thanks for joining us and stopping by my blog today. 

Here is one last look at the products I used on today's card. 








Have a fabulous day!
