I wanted to take out my inchies once again and create a card....so taking lots of scrap pieces of paper, I punched out several pieces of patterned paper and adhered to the inchies, on two of the inchies I stamped the Bees and applied a dusting of Brushed Corduroy to the outer edges of each inchie. I adhered them to a piece of Basic Grey paper that I also used Brushed Corduroy around the edges and to complete the card, I added a sentiment and adhered the paper to a trimmed white card.
I love working with inchies and really earlier this year I would have said differently as I never knew how to create with them, but since making a card for Christmas last year with them I knew then I was totally hooked.
Alright so now to sit back and watch the video....I hope you enjoy...
Time for me to now leave you all and get ready for work, I will be back tomorrow with another share...
Enjoy your day!
Hugs

Hi Joy! Beautiful card. I agree that these look like ceramic tiles!
Here are some tips from the EK Success website (http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/ektools/creative/tips.htm ) on keeping your punches at their best. Sometimes it works for me, sometimes not... but it's worth a try.
Sharpening a punch:
If your punch is not punching through any longer, you may just need to sharpen the punch. This is easily done by punching through a piece of aluminum foil
Lubricating a punch:
If you find that your punch is “sticking”, then you may need to lubricate your punch. This is done by simply punching a piece of wax paper. You may find when punching the wax paper that the shape does not punch out perfectly, don’t worry, it is still lubricating your punch. Repeat the process two or three times or until you find the punch is no longer sticking when punching paper.
Your card is perfect! Love the inchies. And wow, those stamp boxes are awesome!
Love this card, Joy! I'm planning to teach a class on inchies next month so this inspiration is very timely! Thanks for the video tour of your amazing craft room...I'll be showing those storage boxes to my personal cabinetmaker, great idea!
............THUD!!!

Bee-utiful! :)
Loooooove your craft room! I had to resort to Ikea and build it myself for my own crafty area but I could have done with the help of your guy!

Love the new stamp boxes.. it was nice of Darryl to do that for you.
I sometimes find that aluminum foil isn't as good a sharpener of punches as 200 grit sandpaper. Punch through a few times, then punch through some wax paper to keep the punch from sticking together.
Absolutely LOVE this card Joy, perfection, I need to case it ASAP!!
Okay... before I was too jealous of your talent and now I'm FAR too jealous of your craft area - mine does not even go near holding a candle to yours. :)
Your card is so striking - it makes me want to try out inchies again and see if I get bitten by the bug too.
This is stunning Joy! Love those inchies and the yummy yellow colour! Your craft space is amazing!! I wish mine was like that! :)
Joy, I love the card. It is simple yet so well thought out
I love this card! So perfect and balanced. Colors are wonderful. Images are perfect. Great, great card!
