Inchies and butterflies

Wahoo, my 1.25" square punch arrived in double quick time from Sirstampalot and I wanted to play with it right away:
I used:

- A6 white card blank

- slightly smaller white backing, embossed using Cuttlebug's 'Swiss Dots' folder

- six white 'inchies', punched with EK Success 1.25" then three were embossed using Crafts-Too's 'Butterflies' folder

- the butterfly embossed squares just had some green sparkly gems added here and there - Papermania 'Capsule Verde'. These are lovely gems in varying shades of green, I bought them in Hobbycraft

- the other three squares were topped with a snippet of green gingham paper, from Teddy Teddy's 'Spring Chic' paper pack, and punched using SU's 1" square punch

- lastly added some double layered butterfly stickers and smaller ones (Hobbycraft own brand) to each gingham topped square

I wrecked a 'huff and puff' stamped image on Saturday afternoon. Sorry folks, Irene's got me hooked so there'll be another inchie card appearing soon. They really are such fun to make and perfect for rescuing 'deesarsters' - as well as using up titchy little snippets :)

  1. Love your inchies and pretty butterflies! I'm hoping to get my class cards figured out so I can play more. What is it with gingerbread people and running off. Two of mine ran off in December. I found them a month later when I finally changed my scrap mat! They were hiding under there all stuck together. So naughty! Hope you find yours before the week is out.

  3. Me loves the sparklies. A super idea for using up those smaller bits of paper. Now I know why you needed an 1" and a 1.25" square. Thank you for fluttering along the trail for #6. hugs Mrs A. (butterfly challenge).

  8. Very pretty Di. I used to have a couple of sets of mini stamps, positive and negative of each one, especially for inchies, or maybe even smaller. I must have another look. See you have inspired me again! Kate x

  12. Hello Di,

    So glad you found a 1.25 punch. I looked in my stash and couldn't find it -- but that statement leads to other issues I wish not to divulge.

    Beautiful card with just the right amount of bling!

    Hugs,
    Kay

  19. Pretty inchies! Loving all the embossing, the pretty spring gingham and those velly glamourous butterflies. A perfect entry for the challenge. Hope I can join in this time - missed last 'n. Very lovely Miss Pixie. I'm sure Parsnip added a few suggestions, so you two did a super card. TFS & Hugs
