Dimensional Twinchies with AlteredPages.com and Graphic45

Today on the AlteredPages Blog I share with you how I create the dimensional twinchies that everyone loves!

Happy April everyone! These fun dimensional twinchies are made from my favorite EcoArtBoard and the yummy new Secret Garden Collection [for these I used the sheet of images on  the pages called Leafy Treetops available in the 8×8" pad at AlteredPages.com. They are the perfect size for Twinchies!

What is a twinchie you ask?!?! Well, to understand a twinchie you have to know what an inchie is.

"Inchies are one inch by one inch squares of paper (or fiber) that contain small art, collaged or hand-drawn." This is the description offered at Stamphenge which contains one of the most thorough definitions of inchies. A Twinchie  is an inchie on the 2×2" scale! Hop on over to the AlteredPages Blog for the full tutorial!
