Project Tutorial - "Inchie" House

Here is another example of the "Inchies" project that I made...

Supplies needed:
>House Frame – I got this lil frame - I think - from the Dollar store, and I just painted it black
>Cardstock, patterned and colored (Club Scrap)
>Embellishments, like fibers, brads, clips, buttons, charms, flowers, etc.
>Crafter’s Pick adhesive
>Stickles glitter glue (this is the best stuff, don’t waste your time with cheap alternatives IMO)

1. Cut the following:

1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of PINK (Kits: Fizz, Stratosphere)
1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of RED (Kits: From the Heart, LMCTW, Wheels/Sprockets)
1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of ORANGE (Kits: Salsa, Poetic, Avante Garde, Rhapsody, Bistro, Surfs up)
1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of YELLOW (Kits: Mosaic, Rhapsody, Poetic, Down to Earth, Bistro)
1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of GREEN (Kits: Refresh, Mosaic, Outdoors, Farmers Market)
1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of TEAL (Kits: Avante Garde, Refresh, Mosaic, Serengeti)
1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of BLUE (Kits: Refresh, Interior Design, Farmers Market,Sparkle)
1 in. x 1 in. squares in shades of PURPLE (Kits: Simply Beautiful, Wheeles & Sprocket, Retro, Be Still)
2. Ink all edges of all the little ‘inchies’ with a complementary colored ink.

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

4. 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

5. Adhere the inchies to the house frame using Crafter’s Pick adhesive. Let dry.

6. This step REALLY adds to your project 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!
