Lil' Inker Designs Kick Off Hop - Yay!!!


Welcome to the Lil' Inker Blog Hop! if you came here by way of the ever-fabulous Ariana's blog you are headed in the right direction. If you didn't start at Laura's blog, you are gonna want to. Those who complete the hop by commenting on each blog are eligible for PRIZES!!! (Hop links listed below)

It's a done deal, I've officially fallen in love with these sweet little dies and stamps from Lil' Inker. The Rainbows and Clouds set has got to be one my "favorites" list of all time. I can appreciate that a "real" stamper designed these... you know when you get something that was created by someone who doesn't ever play with the product? Well Laura (owner of Lil' Inker) totally knows not only how to stamp, but what we all like!

Here is the die and the coordinating stamp set -


And then my project:
I've gone pretty simple on this one, kraft card stock and some basic colors.
This card would be great for either a anyone you care for...


Now for some more hoppin' -

    CAS....Love it! My favorite part of this is that cute little heart! Is that a punched edge or a die?
