It's day 3 of the Lil' Inker October Release Previews! I hope you've been checking out the new designs that are going to make your Christmas projects super fun and easy this year! I am so happy and delighted to joining the Lil'Inker Design Team as a guestie this month! If you are hopping along with the blog hop today you should have gotten to be through Amy Kolling's blog. If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop you can get all the deets here. Today I've got two projects featuring the new Christmas Cover Up Die Plate. This die is just shy of an A2 card base so it makes a great overlay with your card base just peeking out beneath!
On my first card I used the plate to emboss a piece of white card stock. I dressed it up by adding lots of colorful die cut jingle bells with silver glittery paper peeking through. The new stamp set has lots of sentiments that work perfectly with the "jolly" and "joy" die cuts. I used one of the cut out stars from the bells to top the "J".

Fabulous cards! I love the ways you featured the Cover Up: Christmas die! It looks great embossed as a background, and fantastic with that bling on your second card! Wonderful ideas!
Both cards are fabulous and what great colors!!
Oh, WOW! I adore the fun colors of the first and the second is gorgeous. That die looks great flush with the silver. Fantastic cards again!

So so beautfiul loved this bloghop so much inspiration and that release is amazing. Thank you for showing and sharing.
Great idea to use the cover up die to emboss. Your second card is just gorgeous I love all the glitter. Now I didn't see those little trees until you pointed them out. I really think this die is on my must have list.
Eeeekk! Love what you have done here!
Love the fun colors on the first and all the sparkle on the second.
The untraditional holiday colors on your first card are so fun and I love all the sparkly goodness on your second card.
Wow! So fresh and happy the first one and so elegant and glamour the second one! Love them both!
Love the word die! What an incredible impact!
Jeanne, this are mind-blowing! I love the use of the cover up die as an embossed background! WOW!!
Love the glitter background!
WOW! These are SOOOO decadently GORGEOUS! I NEED that Christmas Cover plate die! Your sparkly card looks so elegant and LOVE the look of the 'cut but not cut out' embossing, especially with the die cut 'jolly' over it. Superb cards!
Love, love, love these cards! Great work! Thank you for the inspiration.
Brilliant tip for making a two-tone version of the Christmas cover-up die... It is beautiful with the silvery background layer. And using the die for embossing is another wonderful idea. I hope Lil'Inker has you back for the next release!
Love these so much! The embossed cover-up looks awesome. And the one with the glitter is stunning. Thanks for pointing out the teeny trees. I never noticed that before.
I need to consult a thesaurus, as I'm running out of ways to say *Gorgeous* as these cards most certainly are! Fabulous showcase of the new release!
