Lil’ Inker Designs: September Release – Day 2 (+GIVEAWAY and SALE!)

12 Sep

Good morning and welcome to the September 2017 release for Lil’ Inker Designs!  We’re introducing a bunch of gorgeous autumn stamps and dies and they’re all available right now!  I love that Laura doesn’t make you wait to shop the new release so I totally understand if you want to go shop now, but make sure you come back and comment for a chance to win the entire September release!  That’s correct…one lucky commenter will win everything!  There’s more details on how to win at the end of my post!  Today I’m sharing several Halloween cards I created for this release!

If You've Got it by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lil' Inker Designs

My first card uses FaBooLous and the Ghost Shaker die!  I started by die-cutting the ghost from silver glitter paper and vellum.  Then i stamped the pretty eyelashes with versamark and heat-embossed them with a sparkly black embossing powder.  I adhered the vellum ghost over the silver glitter ghost and added a layer of spectrum noir clear sparkle over the vellum.

Next I stamped the sentiment from FaBooLous onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  Then I swiped a versamark pad across the black cardstock and heat-embossed it with a silver and white sparkly embossing powder.  Finally I adhered the ghost using an action wobbler to create a silly, interactive card! 🙂

Thanks for Killing the Spiders by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lil' Inker Designs

Next I created a super CAS card using the Snarky Thanks set with tiny images from the FaBooLous set. And then I created a vegan version for my friend, Lisa! 😉 I stamped the sentiment from Snarky Thanks and then added the little spider.  I used a ruler and a copic multi-liner to add a few fun accents to make my spider scene come to life! 🙂 And if you can’t read my handwriting, the bottom card says ‘thanks for being the one to rehome the spiders.’

Finally I stamped the large Boo from You’ve Been Booed using a light grey pigment ink.  I decided to use the same ‘o’ for the word but there’s also an ‘o’ with a spider!  I trimmed the panel down and adhered it to a black card base.  Finally I stamped the sentiment from You’ve Been Booed onto black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  I trimmed it down to a label and adhered it to the card with foam mounting tape.
