Inchie Twuinchie Domino: real domino's!

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hello everyone, Liesbeth here. Today I break the rules a little bit! ;-) 

I stamped onto real dominos for our current challenge Inchies Twinchies Dominos but only the biggest of them is the exactly right size (2"x 1"). I still would like to show them all because the stamps I used are so perfect for domino bricks!

I coloured two dominos with alcohol inks and I stamped them with StazOn - Jet Black. 

Stamps used: Pieces of Calligraphy, Pieces of Architecture, Victoriana and Mini Butterfly Collage.

I love playing with this small sizes, hope you give it a try too! Have fun!

Hello Portal Peeps!   Gail here today with some inspiration for the Inchie Twinchie Domino Challenge.  I had a look through my stamps for some that would fit on dominos (2" x 1") and found this set of Lost Coast Designs Mini Ancient stamps.  Two were a bit small, two were a bit wide, but I trimmed them, and two were perfect!  Then, after advising two friend this evening that chocolate is the answer, it got a little bit quirky...

I stamped the Lost Coast Designs Mini Ancients using brown archival ink, cut them to size and inked the edges with the same brown ink.  My background is Lost Coast Designs Bubbles Background stamped with Prickly Pear archival ink, then over stamped with Lost Coast Designs Drips and sepia archival ink.  I arranged my domino's on the drips and then stamped the Carmen's Veranda Breakfast Chocolate sentiment in brown archival ink.

For September we want to see your stamped makes featuring Inchies (1" x 1"), Twinchies (2" x 2"), and/or Dominos (2" x 1")  You can make said Inchies, Twinchies or Dominos with real rubber or clear stamping, or you can incorporate these sizes into your project in another way, perhaps chop up your background, or your foreground, cut windows, or maybe make a three dimensional shape, or a tiny album.  

The team is sharing awesome projects all month so do scroll down and pop back to check out all the amazing inspiration.  

Just do it!

Howdy - Darlene here with my first make for the month of the theme

Twinchies, Inchies or Dominoes 

This card I did with a Twinchies theme.

Using the Pokey Pigeon and the Flying Pig 2 stamps

So all the squares are 2 x 2 (twinchie). stamped in black onto kraft paper

edges inked.  Used my white pen for some outline.

The square in behind has some splattered white ink.

The middle twinchie is a saying from Carmen's Veranda

The square was splattered, added some threads, and layered onto black.

Offset all the layers.  The background paper is inked on the edges and some paint splatter also.

A couple of blings added.

The center twinchie is popped up a bit too.

Come and join the challenge!!!  Maybe win some new stamps.  Just remember

there has to be stamping on your make.

Game On

Hello Portal Peeps!!   Gail here today with my first inspiration piece for the Inchie Twinchie Domino Challenge.  I decided to chop up my background into bits and piece it back together.

I stamped Carmen's Veranda Dice Background using yellow ink on white card and then chopped it into 1" x 1", 2" x 2" and 2" x 1" pieces.  I arranged the inchie, twinchie and domino size pieces onto a black card square and then added a yellow mat behind.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Alfred Hitchcock Standing on white card with black ink, fussy cut him and added him to the card.  To finish I stamped Lost Coast Designs Happy Birthday on one of the domino pieces. 

For September we want to see your stamped makes featuring Inchies (1" x 1"), Twinchies (2" x 2"), and/or Dominos (2" x 1")  You can make said Inchies, Twinchies or Dominos with real rubber or clear stamping, or you can incorporate these sizes into your project in another way, perhaps chop up your background, or your foreground, cut windows, or maybe make a three dimensional shape, or a tiny album.

Hello Portal Peeps!!  Gail here today with some last hour inspiration for the Cats and Dogs Challenge.  I have had such a blast with this challenge, and I think the team has too, with so many awesome canine and feline delights.  I decided to use Pokey Dog again and combined him with some die cuts for some festive fun.

I cut a hexagon card base using Tonic dies and stamped the large Shadow Circle Frame with orange ink.  I stamped Pokey Dog and fussy cut him and arranged him with my Tattered Lace die cut wreath.  To finish I stamped Lost Coast Designs Merry Christmas.

You have until 23.59 on the 31st to link up your stamped anythings featuring Cats and/or Dogs.  Don't forget to scroll down for awesome inspiration from the team.

Hope to see you in the linky.  Hugz
