Watch it Wednesday with Inchies and Centimeteries

How’s your vision holding up this week? I’m thinking I might need to book an appointment with my eye doctor to get a weee bit stronger bifocal. Ha ha. No actually, I’m fine. Today, I’ll share my video and introduce another way around your inchies and centimeteries (2.54 cm for our international friends).

Lets look at inchies from another direction and consider starting out with a big stamp. Did you know that you can make 20 inchies from one Hero Arts “S” stamp? That’s a lot of little buggers! I chose a fairly detailed “S” stamp for all the inchies shown here, I didn’t finish them all, plus I only used the stamp once. All I did was clear emboss. I used an applicator to add distress inks on one set and the other I spritzed the inks with water and pulled my paper through the wet ink. So quick and easy! Here’s a peek at how they turned out.
