An "Itsy Bitsy" Card using Inchies

Imagine Crafts challenged their AIRs design team with the theme "Itsy Bitsy".  I immediately thought of "inchies" which are precision cut tiny canvases measuring any where from 1" square all the way up to 4" squares.  I have some tiny mat squares that measure 1.5" by 1.5" that I knew would be great for this project.  These were given to me by Inchie Arts and are very high quality.  This card was designed with those in mind.

Here is a short tut on how to use inchies in creating a unique card like this one.

Step one:
Stamp and color in the images.

Step two:
First stamp the phrase, sprinkle embossing powder on the phrase and melt with a heat tool.
Cut and tear paper to go across the top and the middle of the blank card.

Step three:

Add the tiny dog portraits by using a strong adhesive.

CHA Las Vegas Photos

One last group of photos from Vegas!  Graphic 45 had an awesome booth, as usual.  Here are some close ups of Humptey Dumptey.

Then we walked around a corner and look who was here!  Anna Dabrowska aka  "Finnabair" was doing demos.  Her work is even more amazing IRL.  She was very sweet and we watched as she completed this entire page.

We had a great trip and saw all kinds of new techniques.  We were able to visit with so many great artists and watch them up close and personal as they worked their special magic.  Be on the look out for all kinds of new products.  In the meantime, thanks for stopping by.  Talk to you soon.  ~  Renee
