Happy Tuesday! So after many requests and gentle, encouraging nudges (and just because I like you. ^_~) I thought that I would share how to make the quilt block for the baby quilt that I posted about last month. Yahooo!...
Surprise!!!! How are you today? Laura here with an exciting post I didn't tell you was happening because I wanted to surprise you! Today, the Lil' Inker Design Team and CardMaker Magazine are getting together for a special blog hop focusing on a Fall theme. More than likely you're here because you've made your way through our hop and I'm the last stop, but if you've stopped by to say hello and would like to see the entire hop, just keep on reading. :) I'm so excited because I think you're going to see some sneak peeks from our Design Team Members today of things we're getting ready to release on October 8th here at Lil' Inker. Edited to add: Holy Moly! I've hopped and the designs are AMAZING!!!! For those of you just learning about Lil' Inker Designs, let me tell you a little bit about who we are. I was a work from home home who loved to paper craft and make greeting cards and one day I wanted something for my crafty stash that I could not find on the market. I ended up reaching out to my friend from high school, Ariana Grant. She and I had recently reconnected on Facebook and I remembered reading that she was now a professional graphics designer. I sent her my idea and some illustrations and we got to work right away and in August of 2010 we released our first die and stamp set combination Sentiment Flags Original Die and Stamp Set. This die was the first "ribbon-tailed" die on the market in our lil' crafty world. I didn't know it at the time but this was the accidental birth of our company and we've been releasing dies and stamps continuously since then. We're known for our dies with stitching and later in 2013 we were the innovators behind dies with what we call Dual Stitching or stitching on the inside and outside of the main cut line. These are two concepts that we're super proud of! If you're new to Lil' Inker Designs we'd love it if you'd shop with us. Visit our website and check out our line of fun and versatile products, browse around and have fun! We continue to remain a small, but creative company. We have a FABULOUS and dedicated team of Designers who create amazing things with our products to inspire you. I personally handle all of our customer service and it's one of my most important jobs here at Lil' Inker Designs. I am a work from home mom, who runs a household and this crafty business out of two rooms in my home which are my humble little headquarters. I love what I do but it's made possible entirely with the support of my family, my bestie Ariana Grant, additional right-hand-woman and graphics designer, Karen Baker and Gillian and Courtney Nolan, sisters who are both college students and assist me part-time packaging our products and fulfilling all of your orders with care and love and shipping them out to you. Here is a list of everyone participating today. I simply cannot WAIT to hop around and visit the blogs of the CardMaker Mag ladies They too are going to be using goodies from Lil' Inker Designs in their posts today. I think this is going to be so fun!

We'll be picking a winner from the comments left throughout blog-land and announcing the winner so stay tuned! Thanks :) Here are a couple of projects I created for you and for our hop today. This first cards is a small 4.25" square. It's been my go-to card size recently. I die cut the background with our Cover Up Die: Stitched Woodgrain which is one of my most favorite background dies EVER!!!! It also features some new-ish goodies in our store; the newly redesigned Acorn Dies and Nuts About You Stamps! These were goodies we released back in 2011 and were out of stock for some time. Before I restocked them for you, I decided to give them a little update. Now our Acorn Die is a set of three acorns and we tweaked the design just a little for you. Perhaps the biggest change it to the stamp set. We gave the set a whole new looks but stayed true to its original, quirky, fun design. The sentiments in this set are silly and fun and can be used for so many different occasions in additional to Autumn designs. Also featured here are our So Thankful Stamps and So Thankful Label Die from our most recent release. I just love how this came together and I'm delighted to have these items back in stock and looking FAB! This last project contains a little sneaky peek for you of a leaf die set we're releasing on October 8th called Leaf Love. Here I die cut it one of the leaves with a remnant piece of corrugated cardboard which I then painted with a little gold paint. I used a vintage doily as a backdrop which was quite large so I cut it in pieces and layered it a bit to make it a better size for my card front. Also used here are our Stitched Mats: Rectangles used for the focal panel and the Nuts About Stamp Set again for the sentiment. I LOVE the size and shape of this die!!! Yahooo!!! I hope you love the cards I made to share with you today! Thank YOU so much for coming by today. Whether you're a "repeat offender", LOL and come here often or your brand new to our blog and company - we're so glad you're here! We hope you'll join us here in a few days on October 8th because we'll be bringing you a fresh new crop of goodies for the Christmas Holiday but also some FABULOUS items for Fall that you won't want to miss! Thank you SO VERY MUCH to CardMaker Magazine and Brooke Smith and for organizing this wonderful hop and and for this amazing opportunity and a big thank you to all the participating designers from CardMaker for showcasing goodies from Lil' Inker Designs and sharing with CardMaker Mag readers!!!!!! What a great way to kick off Monday! Love,
Hello Everybody! I was skyping with Fiona and Kris and they suggested that I go back and share with you all some of my favorite projects for 2012. So, I thought why not....It's always nice to go back and see the things you learned along the way and the things you will never do again! LOL! It has taken me three whole days between projects to get this post ready...And it is full of pictures! so watch out! NOTE: This is a long post covering a years worth of work. So please be patient as it loads. Thanks Y'all! So starting at the beginning....Even though this was November of 2011, it will always be one of my favorites and the kick off to my love of paper crafting 3 Dimensional Projects! Mr. Roboto The Wine Box I really loved this project. I loved the warm honey colors of the paper and how they contrasted and worked with each other. In January, I wanted to create a complete travel wine box. The challenge was to include everything that could be needed to have a bottle of wine with a friend. This was the second wine box I made and I donated it to a silent auction for the hospital. Altered Storage Box 10 Things I Love About You Box I loved making this Valentines Box! This is definitely one of those projects where I had a completely different thing in mind and this was what it came out to be...LOL! So glad it took on it's own thing! Truly one of my favorites. When Pigs Fly Panorama I love this project because it was something new to try and create. That is the fun for me...trying new things! I also love the whimsy of it. Gents Traveling Watch Box The Obelisk This starts the pieces I made for the G45 DT tryout. I love all three. My sister loved this project and always talked about it. So this Christmas I gave it to her. You probably have seen the latest Christmas pictures with this on her table. There is nothing better than giving someone something they really like. The Christmas Clock Another DT project. One of my faves. I think the cool thing for me is the shape of this clock. I think it's so elegant... kinda. The Ferris Wheel Of course this is the project I am most proud of. Not because of the way it looks but the way if functions. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was when the Ferris Wheel actually turned and begin to go around! Yahooo! This now lives in my bedroom. The Tag Armoire Now, the Tag Armoire wasn't actually one of my favorite projects I had ever made. But, I loved the shape of it. I remember being in a rush to get it done and will always wish I had spent more time on it. The Alarm Clock Simple project...simply, I love this clock project. It was fast and easy to make. I purchased the clock from Ikea and brought it with me on vacation to make. This resides in my bathroom! LOL! The Quote Wallet The Quote Wallet. Another fun and simple project that was/is one of my faves! The Lighthouse If I had to pick my second favorite project I have ever ever made, it would be The Lighthouse. It's one of those projects that I still go and look at and pick up and hold....I know weird huh? This was another project I started on vacation, I had the whole project almost done by the time I left. Well, cut out and pieced together, but when I got home I needed to redo a section of it and for the life of me couldn't remember how I had done it. I had to literally pull it apart to see how it was made and reconstruct it. I think one of the things I love the most is the black and creams of the paper and how they worked so well to make the shapes reflect the different parts of the lighthouse. Am I getting weird here? :) The Nutcracker Suite I love me some Christmas so The Nutcracker Suite had to be made! Hahaha! I loved the details in this project. The Temple Another one of my favorites. My mom's favorite too. LOL! This was one of those projects that I will never make again. It was fun to figure it out but believe it or not tough as nails to make. The sliding of the shoji doors was the catch....I was so honored to give this to Diane Schultz for her great kindness to me. The Ladies Roll Top Desk The Ladies Roll Top was truly a blast to make. I was determined to make the top roll back. That was the fun part. It will always be a memorable project to me. The Haunted Mansion Another Fun project to make.... Cuff Links You know, I truly went out of my realm of chipboard and made these cuff links. I use them and love them. Umbrella Man The challenge here was to use kites. I had no idea what to do and I needed to get this done. So in an hour and a half I made this. The reason why I love this is the silhouette of the umbrella man standing on the hill. It's not a functional piece...It just sits there, but I love it. LOL! The Carriage Clock Simple and Fun...That's why I love this one.... The Halloween Top Hat My favorite thing about this project was figuring out how to make a round mini to go inside the top hat. Getting Dylusional! And then I found Dyan and Dylusions! I immediately had to see if I could dimensionalize Dylusions and so this project was made. One of my faves! The Dylusional Bus What can I say.... The Biking Witch Another project that was not chipboard! But still one of my faves! Fiona sent me the iron bike and challenged me to do something with it! LOL! And Last.... The Curious Cabinet Of course there were projects in between all of these, but I had not constructed anything from chipboard in a long time and I couldn't wait to get the chipboard back out. This piece is pretty straight forward. I mean there is no moving parts or magic to it, but honestly, it is one of my very favorites. I love the simplicity and elegance of it. Of course there is an embarrassing story behind this piece...I brought it with me to Florida when I attended Dyan Reavely 's classes. It was a gift to her. As I pulled it from the bag and opened it up to show her, I pulled on one of the drawers pulls and the pull fell off! Ahhh! Great Craftsmanship huh? Of course it did! LOL! Sadly, it had sat in my car in the Florida heat and humidity and the glue failed! I knew I should have "bradded" it on! I then took it back home to fix it with great hopes of sending it to her right after. Guess what? I just mailed the cabinet to her right before Christmas! LOL! Just want to thank you all for coming over to spend some time with me today. I know this was a long-long post, but I guess that when you make something, you fall in love with it and then move on to the next thing. I had fun going through them and looking at them again. I hope you did too. Yall have an awesome day! Jim The Gentleman Crafter
