Hello, crafty friends! Welcome to day 2 of the Lil' Inker Designs January 2015 release! (If you're just starting here, head to the Lil' Inker blog to start the hop!)
Yesterday I shared my thoughts about using a few NEW products to bring fresh life to older products. Today is another perfect example of the chemistry between products. I paired the previously released Mini Envelope Dies & Accessories, with the brand new Smooches stamp set. That kiss is just PERFECT on the envelope die! In addition, I used the Border Builders and Rounded Rectangles dies to create my background.
Next up, I used brand new dies, and a new sentiment from another great Valentines stamp set. Love Is All You Need is a stamp set with a fun assortment of Valentine sentiments, although a few of them could be used for anniversary and wedding cards as well - love it when a product does double duty! And the Heart Banners Die Set can be used in so many fun ways!!!! I stamped this sentiment on vellum, and layered it over a slightly smaller layer of white cardstock, and then adhered it all to a black card base.
Don't you love the stitched detailing on the heart banner!? Precious!
