Green Inchies

Our inchies are so versatile and fun to work with.

Card by Brenda.

Twinchie Tree

This Walnut Tree is in our Rural Elements stamp set, the perfect size for a Twinchie.

Vicky made this card by stamping the tree multiple times and then turning it upside down, or turning the card around! To stamp the top of the tree along the top of the card to give it a fuller look.

The Twinchie has been coated in 3 layers of Amazing Glaze.

Pink Inchies

I sprayed the Inchies with some Izink dye sprays, including a metallic rose gold (sorry, can't remember the name) so it has a metallic sheen.

I kept all the tiles together whilst spraying and then stamping, before separating and sanding the edges to remove the tags. I then edge the tiles with Izink Cerise inkpad.

The background layer is coloured with the same Cerise inkpad.

Stamps used JudiKins Music and JudiKins Potpourri No.1.

Music Man

You may have spotted this on Hochanda yesterday.

Our Inchies with our JudiKins Music stamp set.

Brenda made this card by covering the inchies with the page from an old book, before distressing with some ink and then stamping the images over the top.

HOCHANDA Today at 4pm

We are on HOCHANDA TV today at 4pm with our re-mastered Rolling Hills and Rural Elements plus 2 of our favourite JudiKins stamp sets plus our new Inchies and Twinchies.

This is a Twinchie - a 2" x 2" square of cardboard, they come in pre-punched sheets so you can stamp on them together or use them individually like this.  The twinchie has been coated with Amazing Glaze.

Amazing Glaze Stars

Our new Twinchies are perfect for Amazing Glaze.

Build up 3 layers of Amazing Glaze and then sprinkle in some embossing powders of your choice to change the colour.

Ink your stamp and stamp into the hot embossing powder.  Allow to cool before removing.

See our Inchies and Twinchies on HOCHANDA TV on Thursday at 4pm.

Blossom - Cream

Debbie has stamped and embossed our Blossom Background in gold onto a cream card and then coloured some of the flowers and butterflies.

It instantly changes the background and makes it much softer.

With the large Butterfly layered on top.

Happy Father's Day

Apologies for the lack of blogging recently, there is so much going on at Stamp Addicts that I've been surviving on 5-6 hours sleep a night and still haven't had time to blog until today.

Happy Father's Day to all those wonderful Dad's out there.  I'm lucky to have my husband Martin who is a great Father to our 2 kids (now teenagers and taller than both of us) and a great Father-in-law Bill, unfortunately my dad doesn't want to be part of our lives and hasn't done for nearly 15 years - his loss.

For those of you with teenagers in the middle of A Levels you will know that now is the time to start looking at universities which is what our daughter is doing very soon, in between lots of exams.  I can see this being a stressful time in our household, bad enough with exams but then the pressure of choosing the university that you think is right for your future.  I didn't go to university, the closest I got was Open University several years ago with a few days at Cambridge, not quite the uni experience.

I will do my best to keep blogging in between, especially as we have an exciting new designer coming on board and hope to start releasing those new stamps next month.

Plus designer Teri Sherman has some fabulous Christmas designs that we will also be releasing soon.

Sprayed Poppies

I have to admit that I can't remember who made this card and without having it in my hand to look at the name on the back I'm not going to be able to give credit to the right person.

We've been so crazy busy that I forgot to make a note of who made which card so apologies to our DT or maybe it's one of Vicky's!

Poppy Background and Poppy Head designed by Teri Sherman.

Dahlia Background

Our DT sent us so many wonderful samples but I think this is one of my favourites.

It reminds me of a photography course I took at college many many moons ago.

It was before digital cameras, we worked with black and white film and developed our own photos and learnt how to add touches of colour to the black and white photos.

I vividly remember a particular photo I developed of some daffodils where I added colour to just one of the daffodils so it would stand out from the others.
