Grape Inchies
I have been a baking fool this weekend, and am pleased to say that I got all of it done! 
I made double batches of all of the cookies. This will be enough for me to send long distance, but I will need to make more for my local friends. I will share pics when I have them packaged!
How about some more inchies? I am having fun with these cute little images!! Karen Lockhart’s Itty Bitty stamps are perfect for the inchies, and these Itty Bitty Grapes are no exception. I thought it would be fun to put them on the diagonal. What do you think?
Joyful Inchies
(Sorry about the glare on the photo.) After I cut and embossed the grapes with my Spellbinders Nestability die, I colored it with my Copic markers, then sponged with caramel and choc chip ink. The grapes were also highlighted with the melon and purple Copic Spica glitter pens.
I thought the CHF leaves backgrounder coordinated perfectly with this Daisy D’s Gypsy Harvest patterned paper! I also used some Prism Suede Brown dark cardstock for this design. I so love that texture under the Basic Grey rub-on sentiment.
A bit of faux stitching, chocolate taffeta ribbon, and some Paris Dew Drops finish off the design.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

There is not a thing about this card that I don’t care for. Stamp choices, color choices, layout and even the DP. It is flat out beautiful! I must ask my most favorite (and most asked) question. Do you mail cards like this with dew drops and if so have you had problems with damage or people not receiving them. Thanks for helping.

WOW! What a beauty. I’m just know getting hooked on inchies. I like the diagonals, and are those real stitches on the Joy image?
