Lil' Inkers Blog Hop - Day 4 - Stitched Mats

Welcome to...
Day four of the September
September Blog Hop!

Here is the order for the day:
--> Alicia Thelin


The whole week has been an
overwhelming success.
The Ballon Dies have already
sold out, but they'll be in stock soon.
So don't delay on getting what you want
right away. It doesn't mean you can't get it,
BUT, we all now we crafters want it NOW!

Today's project uses a new set of layered dies:


I canNOT express how much fun these are
to work with. Easy and the layering! So much to do!

Here's my first (of many I'm sure) card:


Just look at those perfect little perforations.


I layered up the green and blue before I die cut.
The die went easily through two layers of patterned paper.


Tulle was the ticket on this one.
Sometimes I get a little bored with ribbon,
so I try different accents to "act" like the ribbon.
A tiny strip of green organdy ribbon
pulls-in the grassy hill.


The sentiment is from this stamp set.


Please be sure to leave a comment on
each of the blogs in the hop for a chance
to win some goodies from Lil' Inker Designs.
Next in line is:

Happy day to you all!
