I have just discovered two of my favorite things combined into one challenge.. a fun sketch and Inchies!! Woohoo! The challenge is over on the Inchie INKlings blog and I had to play along as soon as I saw it. Here is my card for Inchie Card Sketch #7.
And for even more fun, I made another card to make a set. It’s a different sketch and uses a Twinchie.
I’ve wondered lately what it is about these little Inchies that have so captured me, and I have decided it is my mom’s fault. My mom was a very talented interior decorator. Not only did she have a beautiful home, but she also had a beautiful miniature home. She LOVED miniatures. When she passed away there were plenty of miniature rooms for my sisters and I to inherit… I chose the parlor.

You can see the scale here with the little Bible and glasses from the red velvet footstool now laying on the Inchie card.
So you see, this love for the tiny world is not my fault! I simply have no control over it! lol
Hope everyone has a wonderful creative weekend.
Happy Crafting!

Absolutely adorable cards, Susan! Love both of them. I’ve always been fascinated by miniatures and dollhouses, too, so maybe that explains why I love the inchies so much, too! Thanks for the insight! Enjoy your weekend!
Oh now you’ve done it! You really inspired me to explore the inchies,…. NOW,….. and I have so much I have to get done that isn’t playing. These cards are awesome, and I love that you included those pics of the miniature rooms. I did my share of collected them, too, and I was really fascinated with the whole “real-life” scenes in miniature. Thanks for sharing such great cards and pics. You know I’ll give in to the temptation to play first, then work. It always happens. LOL
Fabulous! What a superb use of inches and twinches! Love the out of the box inches!
These are gorgeous creations! I’ve just discovered your blog and will be back for more inspiration in the future. TFS
Susan, your cards are gorgeous, simply gorgeous girl! Oh my gosh, those pictures of your Mom’s miniature’s are amazing! I’m so thrilled that you’ve shared them, oh my gosh, I could just look and look for hours at all the incredible detail! You must be so proud of your parlor Susan and treasure it immensely! Would love to see pictures of the rest if you have any. What a treasure!! They do say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!!
Susan, your cards are the sweetest…I am so casing these! What a precious gift your mom left you and your sister and how wonderful that you share her love for all things tiny. Love the detail.

I’ve always loved what you do with inchies, adding such incredible detail in such a tiny space! Now I completely understand your fascination after seeing one of your mother’s fabulous miniature parlor! It’s truly amazing!. I just can’t take my eyes off that player piano! You’ve not only inherited one of your mother’s precious collections, you’ve inherited her love for all things tiny! TFS!
Oops! I was so taken with those miniatures, I forgot to mention your cards! LOL Those are both wonderful and I love how you added the roof to each one. The felt flower really adds the perfect touch!! Beautifully done as always 🙂
Oh my goodness, I need to CASE these!….they’re ADORABLE!
Beautiful inchie card!

Simply wonderful!! Love the texture and dimension of your inchies!
Both cards look wonderful. I haven’t touched inchies yet and you make me want to try.
