Welcome to {Day 5} of the Lil’ Inker Designs January Release Blog Hop! Laura is doing a re-cap of the week’s projects and releases on her blog as well as introducing the surprise bonus release featuring Of the Heart dies and sentiment stamps and 2 Cute Ink’s Hamster Cupid.
My first card features the Hamster Cupid on Broadway. He’s performing in a show called XOXO, complete with a flashy sign made with the Flags & Tags stamps and a glittery outfit. LOL This little guy is smaller than Sweet Bee and Cutie Cat so his mini size makes him easier to colour, or paper piece like I did here, and perfect for smaller card layouts like this one.
My second card features the new Of the Heart dies as a cloud of love at the bottom of the larger Rainbow & Clouds dies. When I came up with the concept of organizing the die cut – yes, perforated – hearts into a cloud shape, I never imagined it would take me so many attempts but I was finally able to get it grouped just right. One more pattern of pink may have made it slightly easier but this is a design I could use for my husband or even a close friend.
Check out the bonus release with the following design team members:

Wow–what a creative week for you, Emily! The pink hamster is a hoot-reminds me of a baby pig, but he's so appealing. I covet that houndstooth label stamp…Beautiful job with the rainbow–all the putzing with the hearts worked out so well. Enjoy your weekend.

I think these two may be my faves of this release. The first card is so sweet and a great layout. The second card has the fab hearts/cloud and papers. Really cool cards, Emily!
Both of your cards are gorgeous Emily, but that flying hamster (which I actually thought was a pig without a tail!) just make me smile!!!
These are both gorgeous! What pretty cards. Such talent.
Ack!! How cute are these!! Cupid Hamster has the ca-utest wee face!! I love his shiny wings (that are way too tiny to carry him anywhere, lol).
But I love, love, love this rainbow and hearts number! It's stunning! xx
I think all these hamster stamps are coming out just for you! Love the houndstooth sign and his glittery wings – so darn cute! And your cloud of love is fabulous!
