Good morning and welcome to the last day of the September 2017 release for Lil’ Inker Designs! We’ve introduced 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 a pair of fun Thanksgiving cards using our Eat Pie set!
Isn’t that squirrel adorable? To start off I stamped the squirrel and a few acorns from Eat Pie onto white cardstock with pigment ink and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I trimmed a kraft cardstock panel down to 4″ by 5.25″ and adhered it to a chocolate brown card base. Then I stamped a few acorns onto the sticky part of a post-it note and fussy cut them to create masks. Next I just stamped the acorns into a pile, masking as I went along. Once I was happy with the size of the pile I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock and trimmed it down to a label. I adhered the squirrel, acorns, and sentiment with foam mounting tape and added a few nuvo drops to finish the card. I think my squirrel looks quite pleased with himself! 😉
My second card uses that bossy turkey! 🙂
For this card I started by die-cutting the turkey from white cardstock. Then I stamped his body and legs followed by the feathers, beak, and wattle. I have no idea how I know that the red dangly thing on a turkey is called a wattle…but there you go! If you didn’t know what it was, now you do! 😉 I die-cut the sign and then stamped it and the sentiments from Eat Pie. I ran a panel of kraft cardstock through with the Quilted Stitched Harlequin die to create my background and then adhered that to a chocolate brown card base. I used the Border Builders set to create stitched hills for my scene and then adhered my sign and turkey!
That’s it for our release!! If you’ve missed the previous days you can find them here and here!
