Lil' Inker Designs Kick Off Hop

Hello, folks!
Thanks for stopping by today! Today is the first blog hop for Lil' Inker Designs. If you came here from Jen Carter's blog, you're on the right track! If not, you'll want to start at Laura's blog so you won't miss anything. There are going to be some awesome prizes up for grabs for those who complete the hop by commenting on each blog. There are 12 blogs for you to visit in total, and you'll have one full week to comment.

Today we're featuring the Rainbows & Clouds stamp set and dies!


I created two projects for today! First up is a mini album:

:o)
This little book just makes me smile. I love making mini albums, and I'm so jazzed with how this turned out! I used coasters for the covers [I love making albums with coasters!], some fun, chunky eyelets, and super-fun spiral binding to make the book. The pink background is fabric paper that I die-cut -- I love the texture it adds to the mini album! I also die-cut fabric paper for the cloud. I love the perforations in the clouds on the Lil' Inker die -- they add such a cute detail! I die-cut the rainbow arcs from four colours of textured cardstock, adhered them to scrap cardstock, and cut the rainbow out. I then attached the rainbow with one layer of dimensional adhesive and the cloud with two layers of dimensional adhesive. The cute stickers that make up the title of the mini album are from October Afternoon.

Next up is a gift tag:

:o)
Nothing says fun and festive quite like good ol' googly eyes, eh? Ha! I looked at the larger cloud on the die and thought, "Cupcake frosting!" This could have been due to not getting enough sleep. To be honest with you, I'm not quite sure if I think the smiley face on this cupcake is cute or borderline creepy...but I think he's festive anyway! Ha! :o) I used two stamps from the stamp set to create the tag's sentiment.

Hope these projects brought you a smile today! Be sure to check out the Rainbows & Clouds stamp set and dies -- they're fun to craft with!
