Lil’ Inker Designs: August Release – Day 2 (+GIVEAWAY!)

2 Aug

Good morning and welcome to the August 2017 release for Lil’ Inker Designs!  We’re introducing a bunch of gorgeous 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 August 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 a fun card I created for this release using the adorable Hello Dino and two of our new standalone die sets!

Hello We Go Way Back by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lil' Inker Designs

I’m not usually a dinosaur fan but these dinos are so cute and I love all the little layers and options you can add to customize your dinos.  I could see tons of uses for these stamps and dies if you’ve got dino-crazy kids or family members!  I started by stamping the dino from Hello Dino in light blue ink and then added his spines with a dark navy blue ink.  I also stamped the trees onto kraft cardstock using distress oxide inks.  I die-cut all the images using the coordinating dies and then set them aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

Hello We Go Way Back by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lil' Inker Designs

Next I used the Deco Border Edge die to create the ground for my dino with kraft cardstock.  I stamped the sentiments from Hello Dino and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder.  Then I die-cut the Hello Beautiful Cover Up die from white cardstock and layered it over light blue cardstock to create my sky.  I adhered the scene together using regular ATG adhesive and a little foam mounting tape for the dino!

And that’s it for day 2!  I’ll be back tomorrow with more! 😉

You should have arrived from Jennifer and Karen is your next stop.  If you get lost you can find the full hop list below!  Leave a comment on each stop along the hop and one lucky commenter will win the entire August release!  Good luck!

Happy hopping!!
