Inch by Inch

When I first saw Inchies…I have to admit, I just wasn’t sure what one would do with them.I bought some anyway to try them out and I find I’m really hooked on them. I love the dimension they give and they are so easy to use as one little accent or in groups of three, four, or even more. I like to cover them with patterned paper but I really love to stamp on them. For the design below… I actually just started off playing around with the ribbon. It made a wonderful frame and I was then wondering what on earth to put in it. The inchies worked perfectly. 🙂

Beautiful Time

The inchie stamps I used for this design are from the Inchie Style stamp set from the Rummage Bine line at CHF. They are super fun for making accents and work so well with the rest of the line. If you want to mix them with other stamps, they work for that too as the images are very classic.

Quick Tip: Create a ribbon frame using sticky strip adhesive in a square. Remove adhesive backing from one side at  time,turn the ribbon 90° to get a neat miter and continue until all sides are completed.

Have a beautiful Sunday!
