More Trinchies and Inchies Swaps (Due Aug 31)

Well, someone in our Trinchies Swap could not fulfill their commitment. So I took 2 extra spots. Not a problem b/c I have become so addicted to making these Inchies, Twinchies, and Trinchies and am having a ball.

I used Mini Monograms for the Scallop & the center circle. i used the indie Art cart for the butterfly.

I think i used the Mini Monograms Cart for the shadow flower base. I used Indie Art for the strawberry & ran the red & green parts through the Cuttlebug with embossing folders.

Now onto the inchies. The bee, turtle, & snail are all from the Walk In My Garden Cart. The Fleur di lis is from the Wild Card Cart. I like trying to do the bases a little different shape as long as they fit the size requirement. I used the cylinder (bee) and the (Shift H) (snail) on the George & Basic Shaped Cart.

Thanks for looking. Questions & comments are always welcomed.

Trinchies August 2009

Well, these are for another swap on the Cricut MB hosted by KellyScott. I have to say she is a wonderful Swap Hostess. These are Trinchies, 3"x3" base decorated anyway you like as long as it fits on the base.

For this one, I chose the Heart Lock & Key from the Indie Art Cartridge. I titled this one "Key To My Heart".

For the base a used a 3" circle cut from the George Cartridge. I embossed it with the Swiss Dots folder in my Cuttlebug. I inked the edges with a ColorBox Pigment ink pad. I also sanded the embossed dots to have the stand out a little more.

I cut the heart lock @ 2.5" in blackout & the top layer. I used Cricut Design Studio to get the right size fro the key & cut it out in shadow. I used iridescent embossing powder & heat embossed the red layer of the heart lock to add a little shimmer.

I attached the key to the lock with a jump ring and added a glue dot under the key for added stability.

I then added it all to the base.

Thanks for looking. Comments & questions are always welcomed.
