 REALLY?!?!?!? Isn't she just too cute for words!!!
I love her!!! <3 <3 <3

In my SECOND use of Copic markers I really wanted her be to be different. 
The peachy-pink face is just what I wanted. 



I then tried my first attempt at paper piecing her lil' body stripes together. 
I used different papers for each stripe AND her tiny lil' stinger/tail! 
I hope in my detail pictures you will notice the black sparkly paper! love it!
I added a jewel to her paper pieced butterfly, 
and some green grass from the Cutie Cat set.




For the rest of the card, I took some red paper embossed with a heart pattern 
and the purple stock I used for one of the body stripes. I die cut our large sentiment flag 
from the Flags and Tags Set. (that you must get before they are GONE here

With another, go to die from the Flags and Tags set, 
I cut a swirly tag out of some paper that says 
"bloom twitter flutter grow frolic BUMBLE spring blossom" randomly,
 AND has lil' flowers too! 
You all know me and my typographic papers! hehehe!
Could it be any more perfect??? 

OH yeah!!! Just add our BEEautiful sentiment "Just Bee-Cuzzz" 
and the coordinating scalloped border and TA-DA instant Valentine's Day Card! 
Finished with a flowing bow. 

Here are a few more detail pictures for my 2 CUTE Card...

Lil' Inker's Design Team January Release!

W E L C O M E to Day two!


This is the second day of featuring the amazing new stamp and die set Flags and Tags.

If you have arrived from Debby's Blog you are on the right track, if not, hop back to Laura's blog to hop in order. Be sure as always to comment on every one's blog and be eligible to win... one $10 LID store credit OR a prize from our 2 cute ink line! Check back in with the team tomorrow to see what's next from our 2 cute ink collaboration!


Just look at all we have as part of the Flags and Tags set!
there are 21 stamps and 3 steel dies: 1 Large v-notched flag measuring 5.4" x 2.5", 
with a clear center piece to allow easy alignment and release for die cut. 
A double ended v-notch banner die measuring 3.75" x .5", that fits
perfectly across our curly tag measuring 2.9" x 1.6".


Then to further enhance these wonderful dies 
we have a HUGE set of 21 coordinating stamps. 



There are 3 background stamps, 2 borders, 12 gorgeous sentiments, 1 to/from stamp, and 3 accents! Now that is a ton of versatility!!!!!! I really think this is our best set to do date, there is so much to choose from! Now I just got to craft with all of these goodies Sunday! 
I created a card and a bookmark/tag. 





Take a look, my father's birthday happens to be on Valentine's Day 
so this card is a multi-tasker! I really wanted something masculine, 
and even though there is a bit of swirly curly red, 
I think it represents a celebration of my dad and Valentine's Day!!
Here are some more pictures of it!






Next up is a cute, quick and fun tag that could be used as a bookmark! When Kiernan saw my tag, he said "mom, can you make me a bookmark too?!" :o)
What a good idea that is! right!? So I punched a hole and added a felt ribbon.

I can't wait to make my lil' reader an extra special bookmark VERY soon!







Next on the hop trail is the Lil' Inker Designs Store where you can go buy this colossal set of FUN! If you want more details see the store blog here as well!

Tomorrow, check back in with Laura and see what's up for the third day of the hop, more items from Lil' inker designs with agdesigns (me) featuring art by 2 cute ink.
