Inchies - Inspired by Sherry Hickey

Thanks to Operation Write Home, I have made a great "virtual" friend - Sherry Hickey.  She and I seem to have the same tastes, play in the same challenges, and are active on the OWH Facebook page.  I follow her blog (Bits of Cheer) and she follows mine - always leaving me lots of encouraging messages.  The other day she posted a card on her blog using "inchies" that inspired me, especially since I have lots of small scraps from all the card kits I had been making for Operation We R Grateful card making parties.

Here is Sherry's card:
And, here is my card:
Card Recipe:
Paper - patterned paper by My Mind's Eye, Stampin' Up Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red
Ink - Stampin' Up Riding Hood Red

Tools - Creative Memories 1" square punch
Embellishments - Buttons from stash, Twine from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist

Thanks for being a great friend (whom I have never met), Sherry!

  1. Adorable! I've made "inches" with paper and cardstock for scrapbook pages. This is a great idea for cards!

  2. Allison, I love this, especially how you off-centered some of the inchies. Now I'm going to CASE YOURS, lol! Hope you Craft It Forward party went well.

  5. You know what I love about those cards, besides the fact that they are so cute? That's an OWH sketch! #60 to be specific! :)

  6. Love both cards. Are you just cutting 1" squares and adhering to the larger square? Very nice and can used in so many ways and occasions!
