Blingy Framed New Year's Inchies

AP2048 : Dressed to Ring in the New Year Collage

Bling, Floss, Card Stock & Adhesive

My project today features one of the amazing Lifestyle Cutting Die Sets in the AlteredPages.com store. The smallest die is perfect to create a small frame for INCHIES!!! I'm fairly new to inches--they are little pieces of art on a 1"×1" square. Artists trade them just like trading cards.
I created my little inchie frames by diecutting the smallest square on some of my favorite Bazzill card stock and then I sewed, using the holes punched with the die, some embroidery floss around the framed and tied a bow in a corner. I added crystal bling to the corners and attached my 1" squares that I cut out of the images from the collage sheet. The 1" squares were edged with a black marker to help them stand out a little. For me these fun images of New Years celebrations was a super addition to my frames. I hope you enjoyed my Blingy Framed New Year's Inchies! I can't wait to making more artistic inchies to frame!!
The cutting dies are on sale right now in the store!!! Jean is clearing them out to make room for MORE!!! I'm so excited as dies are my most versatile tools in my collection. I use them in scrapbooking, cardmaking, decorating, kid's crafts, mixed media, altered art and so much more. Check out the great selection and pick some up today!!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
