Lil' Inkers June New Product Hop - Dad Card


I've gone GA-GA over these dies...
I'm sure you will too.
I had no idea how much I NEEDED
a seriously good set of circle dies.
And then there's the Lil' Inker stitching detail.
Perfection.

  


Along with the Circle Stitched Mats
I used the Pieced Chevron Die as
an embossing plate.
It took a little finagling...
but I did it. 



I embossed both the white card stock and the blue,
then cut circles with Lil' Inkers new Stitched Circle Dies.



The "D@D" is from a previous release from Lil' Inker,
it's the Dad Word Die. The hearts and arrow came from
yet another previous release, Of the Heart Dies.


Check out my hubby hamming it up 
while opening the card for Father's Day:




I used my Big Shot to emboss,
here's the recipe:

Next in line is Alyssa's Blog...
I wonder what fabulousness she's come up with?


Happy creating!
