CAS Mix Up Challenge: Inchies

Joanna is hosting this wonderful CAS Mix Up Challenge: Inchies.
So many creative cards by the DT and GD Stephanie (my ink well).
Be sure and check out all the beautiful and clever creations.





Using Stamping, Inchies made from Washi Tape, Die Cut, Punch and Heat EB.

I had the bright idea to use a section of Altenew "Floral Flurries" Washi Tape that 
Dolly shared with us at our May Retreat.  I chose the largest flower in the design and
fussy cut into 1 inch squares.

I was inspired by my dear friend, Hideko's  beautiful Inchies card.
 I used her idea to punch SU Postage Stamp 1" squares to frame my squares.  I used SU
black cardstock,  which I glued to each square.

I then die cut the SU Whisper White 100# CS using Penny Black "Leaf Stitched Frames".
Placed card front in MISTI and stamped and heat embossed the PB "Special
Sentiment" with Versafine black ink and SU Clear EB Powder.

I popped up the inchies with White Craft Foam and arranged carefully onto the 
die cut card front. Then attached to card base and Done!

************

I was so pleased with the result that I made a 2nd card using a smaller flower 
from the Washi Tape and used different sentiment from the same sentiment set.

Loved this card too!  Thank you,  Dolly for your Washi Tape and Hideko
for the punch idea:-)

Hope you all get to play along with this really fun and creative challenge too.  Hugs..

  14. I'm so honored that my card inspired your creativity, Nancy! I love both of your cards. They are so beautiful and lovely. Actually, I bought the washi tape after I saw your cards so that I can CASE YOUR cards. :-) The black postage stamps have a great contrast to the soft pretty colors (flowers) and your pretty leaf frame finishes the cards perfectly. Thank you so much for adding the first card to the CAS Mix Up gallery! Hugs.. Hideko
