An old grid tag

I suddenly found this - a very old grid tag! It has a charm on a piece of string at the top. I hardly ever use the stamps which I used on this tag, I should do. I couldn't get it any bigger either.

It's leaning against a mini Eiffel Tower which my son brought home for me after his trip to Paris. I treasure it.

Tag tea-bag pockets

So I made up a little word - voor mini-inchies = minchies.


 This tea-bag pocket has three minchies from the Hero Arts Mix and Match pattern stamps.


and this has one which I have turned to make a little diamond.


Made a while ago, finally in my little blog.
Have a great weekend!

Small grid frames

Once again the Graphic's Fairy provided such pretty little frames to work with!

Grid in digital frame

I have been downloading some freebie frames from the Graphic's Fairy to make some inchie tags.



I need a stock of tags to be able to give away and these give variation in crafting.

For Valentine's Day

Another little heart grid.


I'm going to have to think of non-pink cards from today!

My scraps are finally declining

Well, after having given away a big envelope of scraps to a lady who asked me for them in Holland, I am finally getting to an end! I have enough papers etc. but the stamped project scraps are scarce and those are the ones I need....


 I cut out a heart template because I wanted to make a heart grid - but these were the only colors I had enough of to finish the card, green and brown. I think I will be making one in pinky colors too, for Valentines, but I'm not a paper-heart person really! The Hydrangea heart in the corner is recycled from an envelope in which I received a card from Sanne.

Tag with inchie

This tag has an inchie which I found in the K&Co papers - a whole sheet of them - I have used them all up in the mean time, but can't remember on what!



It's not like I made this tag yesterday or today, but I am looking through my archives to see if I missed any inchie projects, to add to this blog.

Puzzles

Love making puzzles like this.


Its productive too because it means using up scraps and mixing and matching with colors and patterns.

This is the most relaxing kind of crafting I know.

Grunge grid template

I found a template quite by accident on Flickr here and it is a freebie. All I had to do was link up anything I made with it, so I did.



It is quite easy to have a template, because you can quickly place your squares and glue them down.

 I think I am a bit obsessive in not throwing away something that could contribute to a craft project, that in turn can be turned into a blessing. I love using up the scraps this way!

Card-case 2

I feel so much more free on this blog...
This is another card I so wanted to try myself. Helle and I seem to have the same stamps so it's great to inspire each other!
This is my card:
and this is the beautiful card that got my attention from Helle:


Now I'm off to find my next card to case.

Card-case

This is not so colorful as the card which I cased but I had to find a way to do this without having to buy the frame-stamp and fortunately I found the frame on the Graphic's fairy which I printed out on PP and found my space to do the inchies.

This is the card I so wanted to case from Nancy Kreuger:


This is a gorgeous Hero Arts Frame - I think I will buy it when it is 50 percent off, if ever I get that chance!

Mix and match and added sewing

Another way to use up all the snippets and cut-outs which need to find a home. The added feature to this card is sewing, which I love to do ...
