Cards - "Inchies" standard cards

A Rainbow of "Inchie" Cards

Supplies needed:

* Cardstock, patterned and colored (Club Scrap)
* Rubberstamps & Ink
* Embellishments, like fibers, brads, clips, buttons, charms, flowers, etc.
* Crafter’s Pick adhesive or Glossy Accents
* Stickles glitter glue (this is the best stuff, don’t waste your time with cheap alternatives IMO)

1. Cut the following:

¨ (15) 1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of PINK (Kits: Fizz, Stratosphere)
¨ (15) 1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of RED (Kits: From the Heart, LMCTW, Wheels/Sprockets)
¨ (15) 1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of ORANGE (Kits: Salsa, Poetic, Avante Garde, Rhapsody, Bistro, Surfs up)

¨ (15) 1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of YELLOW (Kits: Mosaic, Rhapsody, Poetic, Down to Earth, Bistro)
¨ (15) 1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of GREEN (Kits: Refresh, Mosaic, Outdoors,
¨ (15) 1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of TEAL (Kits: Avante Garde, Refresh, Mosaic, Serengeti)
¨ (15) 1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of BLUE (Kits: Refresh, Interior Design)
¨ (15) 1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of PURPLE (Kits: Rhapsody)

2. Ink all edges of all the little ‘inchies’ with a complementary colored ink. (If you are a little lazy and not a true perfectionist like me, you can do this step after STEP 4 – makes it go a little faster.)

3. Rubberstamp various words, images, and sentiments in black ink onto the various squares.

4. This step makes lining up your inchies and attaching your embellishments easier – you could skip this step altogether – but I prefer doing it this way. Cut a scrap piece of black cardstock 2.5 in x 4.5 in. Adhere your little inchies to this piece of cardstock

5. Add any embellishments you have in your stash that matches the color family you are working with….like flowers, game pieces, fibers, safety pin, brads, clipiolas, etc. Use Crafter’s pick or Glossy Accents (these both dry clear) if you need to glue items on – let dry.

6. Adhere the batch of inchies to your card front.

7. This step REALLY adds to your cards IMO - Add Stickles (glitter glue) as a final decoration. Do little dots, maybe centers of flowers or stamped images, outline the inchies, whatever looks good. Let dry.

Good luck and have fun!
