Lil’ Inker Designs: December 2016 Release – Day 3 (+GIVEAWAY!)

13 Dec

Good morning and welcome to the third day of the December 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 December 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 showcasing the Because stamps and dies and the Latte Love stamps and dies!

The Because stamp set has lots of great sentiments but I really like the pretty abstract leaf in the set.  I stamped it in several shades of blue and then added a few leaves that I stamped in versamark and heat-embossed in gold tinsel embossing powder.  I added a stitched frame and then stamped the sentiment and heat-embossed it with gold tinsel embossing powder.  Finally I die-cut the rest of the sentiment from dark blue cardstock and adhered it over the panel.

I shared my last card a few days ago as part of the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and you can find all the info on that here but here’s another quick look at it!

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 December release!

Happy hopping!!

    Love the shades of blue on the first card. And I really like the leaf design. The second card is has a very warm and cozy feel, exactly like a hot, steaming cup of coffee!

    Both are beautiful cards. Love the blues on the first card but
    totally adore what you did to the second card with the Christmas
    tree and the warm latte. I can see myself sitting enjoying the beauty
    of my Christmas tree while drinking a latte. so you put lots of
    warm wishes and memories in that card.
