Lil' Inker January Blog Hop Day 2


Welcome!

If you are following hop order  you've come from
Emily Leiphart's fabulous blog.


Day two of the Lil' Inker January blog hop.
Check out this darling die set... so super versatile and all in one package!
There is more to come throughout the week, and guess what?
You can already get it ALL, check out the Lil' Inker store.

The to-die-for dies.
The uber darling stamps.
Isn't this jumbo banner the cutest! and this is just the first card I have made with it.
The ideas are just swirling...
I actually snuck this card into the Create blog challenge last week,
and here it is (fourth card down), yay!

because I could see through the die I was able to place the bird EXACTLY where I wanted.
Then that little double ended banner folded perfectly as a grounding accent.

Now to add a trio of cards using the dies & the stamps together:

So super-quick and easy to make!
a frame was added to the front of the envelope for the name and mailing addy.
Look at how nicely the polka dot image stamps... good stuff here.
All wrapped-up to give as a gift. Perfection.
