Lil’ Inker Designs June Release Hop Day 4
By Suzanne
Today’s the final day of the Lil’ Inker Designs release hop, and that means anything goes! If you’re hopping along with us you may have arrived here from Sarah Jay’s blog, and you can always head back to the Lil’ Inker Designs Blog to start the hop from the beginning.
I had BIG plans for today involving Project Life, but I am going to save that for another day until I can figure out how to take some decent photos of the Project Life pages - the shiny plastic is not a friend of my light box, so I made this card instead. Turns out it was a good distraction from the pre-overtime 5-5 Bruins/Blackhawks game - this hockey business is so intense! Now I am typing this during OT, just in time for the best part of the game, right?
I started off using the Scallops Folding Tag die to cut the cream cardstock, but then I used the Original Folding Tag die to cut the chevron paper to ft inside the front of the tag. I only had to trim a little bit off the sides to center it on the front panel of the cream tag. The Fanfare Scalloped Border Die was used to make the pink border peeking out from under the navy polka dotted strip, and the Pieced Chevrons Cover Up die was used to make the coral arrow pointing toward the butterfly. Then I used the smallest circle from Stitched Mats: Circles to make a circle embellishment to tuck behind the chipboard sentiment circle:
I hope that you’ve enjoyed everything our team has created for this release and that you’re having a great week! The next stop on this hop is Taheerah’s blog…have fun!

June 20, 2025 at 8:27 PM (2 months ago)Wow, you had lots of fun putting this one together! You are the Queen of collage. Hard not to create something beautiful with these new products. Can’t say I’m rooting for the Bruins (they beat the Sens) but scrapping and hockey are in a fierce competition all by themselves at this time of year…
