I decided this year to try and join in with more swaps and mix up my making so it’s not too card focused. So today’s post is the inchies and twinches I made for the swaps.
I kept them similar as I made them at the same time using some scrap cardstock, distress oxides and some embossing.
Except once I made them I realised I had not read the instructions for the twinchies and instead of anything goes with stamping it was Green Blue and Yellow – so these twinchies won’t be being swapped this month but held onto until I can find a use for them!
Regardless I thought I would share them here!
So I started with the two pieces of white cardstock and added distress oxides to them for the background before adding some black text stamping and the number stencilling.
This gave me a fun background to work with and chopped it into the inchies and then four 1& 3/4 inch squares that I could mount onto twinchies.
I inked the edge of each of the squares and then using the scraps leftover I stamped and embossed hearts using an Alpaca Pals set. There was a larger heart and a smaller heart – perfect for the two sizes of the artwork. I fussy cut them out and stuck them down.
That was how I left the inchies – but the twinchies I added a stamped word to them which I heat embossed on black.
I then mounted them on scrap cardstock that is a dark purple colour.
The following day I decided to then make a blue, green and yellow version of these twinchies so I could at least join in with the swap!
This time I did some stamping with the alpaca pals stamps onto the background make with the distress oxides and then embossed the heart onto a panel I coloured with the ultramarine brushos and the oxides mixed up.
This time I used a different Alpaca pals sentiment and also positioned the heart and sentiment slightly different.
Love these fun little pieces of art. Nice to get creative on different sizes too!
Happy crafting!
