Twinchies - Pink Ribbon

Over at Small World of Inchies & Twinchies, the current theme, Pink Ribbon, reminds us that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I haven't sewn on paper in a while, and since I had my machine out for a busy sewing day (first a wristlet key fob tutorial for my other blog, then bedroom curtains out of a bed sheet from the back of the linen closet!), I thought it was time to zigzag some cardstock layers together. I had forgotten how much I love this type of sewing.

For this twinchie, I first stamped onto textured cardstock, stitched that to gray cardstock, then attached those layers to a stamped background. After adding a tiny stamped "Hope" tag, I finished everything off with a pink ribbon.

Twinchies

Today's challenge at Wednesday Stamper is to use a "twinchie" format for our stamped project. A twinchie is a 2x2 inch square piece of artwork, and I was completely unaware of the term until today. I'm note sure how I missed the boat on twinchies, but here are my first two. I think I'll probably like this size a lot better than inchies. Stamps and ink are from Stampin' Up!.
