More Inchies!

Uncategorized

27 Jun

Hello, Crafters.

Yesterday
I was working on my video for tomorrow showing how I made the inchies card I shared
last Thursday. 

I started by making another card the same to give me an idea of the time it would take. 

Although I changed the stamp set, the card was more or less the same,
including the size, I didn’t think it was very feasible for a video. 

I decided if I made the card smaller, it would work!

The
first card I made was the lady from the You’ve Got Style Stamp Set –
such a brilliant set! 

I followed the same basic design as the larger
cards but there was something lacking. 

Smaller made the card look very bland! 

I decided
to try a different image but also to introduce some Designer Series
Paper (DSP). Kapow!

The
image I changed to was flowers from the Touches of Texture Stamp Set. 

Using Sahara
Sand Ink stamped off once, I stamped a background for the flowers, using the large background stamp from the You’ve
Got This Stamp Set.

Then I
coloured the image using Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party Marker Pens. 

The card still needed something, so I stamped a bee from the Touches of Texture Stamp
Set using Basic Black Archival Ink.

I used a piece of Whisper White
Cardstock, and after I’d fussy cut the bee, I added it to the image. 

With the benefit of hindsight, I should have popped the bee up with a mini Dimensional. 

I
completed the bee by painting his body using a  Daffodil Delight Marker Pen, and then his wings and body with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter
Pen.

I
went back to first card to see if I could improve on it without
dismantling any of it! 

The only idea I came up with was to add the cat!

Using
Basic Black Archival Ink, I stamped the cat from the same stamp set onto a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. 

Not
surprisingly, I amended her eyes and made her look really cute! LOL! 

I
coloured the first cat I stamped using my Smokey Slate Marker Pen, as
well as Powder Pink Marker Pen foe her collar, nose and inside her ears. 

After I’d finished fussy cutting the cat, I decided the grey was too
dark! 

I stamped another cat, and coloured the body using my Basic Grey
Watercolour Pencil very gently. 

I went over it with a Blender Pen, and then
coloured the Powder Pink pieces. 

When I’d finished fussy cutting the
cat, I adhered her to the image using Dimensional. 

I’m now happy what elements I need to pull together to make a great card – hopefully!!
 
The
sentiment on the ribbons is from the Big On Birthdays Stamp Set, and I
used Stazon Ink. 

The pink ribbon is Powder Pink 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon
and the blue ribbon is Pool Party 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon.

Finally,
yesterday I found my box of inchies – bought but never used! 

In the
photograph, I’ve included a bottle of Tombow which will give an idea of
size!

The four sizes are 1″ x 1″; 1.5″ x 1.5″; 2″ x 2″; 1″ x 2″ and the depth is 3/16″.

I think that’s about it for today. Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.

    This is a little late for the comment but I want to thank you for all the new pictures of your travels. It looks like you live in an interesting area. I would love to visit that area some day. I do say the California is a great state and we have a lot here but something new would be a great treat.

    Hi, Crazy Dazy. Inchies were very popular a few years ago. They were squares of chipboard/hardboard that were white on one side that could be stamped on. The idea was to put them together – maybe 2 squares x 3 squares, or say 3 x 4 – then they're adhered to the card base leavig equi-distance gaps between all of them. Although it was popular at the time, it didn't really take off. ☺ I'm pleased to enter your name in my special January 2018 prize draw. ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.

    Thanks Jan. Actually, my name is Angie. This handle was already there and I didn't know how to change it, so it stuck. It fits anyway, my friends and family think I am! LOL
