Inchies Swap Proposal.... So much fun...

[lillibet]

Hi Ladies and Gents:

I am in the Inchies fever and thought how much fun it would be if you all can participate on the fun too..

nchies are just that : 1" x 1" squares that you alter, color, paint, stamp or do what ever you want to do to that one inch square to decorate it..
Just like if you were doing a ATC only smaller and fun..
If you got some of them tiny stamps you always wonder what you would use them for thats what they are for...

Check out this Blog for great ideas...

http://scsinchieswaps.blogspot.com/

So by a show of hands to show me how many interested in this swap proposal
Please post here ...

If you google the word : Inchies it will bring you to lots of albums with photos of inchies etc...

So come on ladies and gents if we get a group of participants this swap would be due in June so we got plenty of timed to make these master pieces.

We can decide on theme and qty later..

You may ask what yiou can do with the inchies once done and swapped.

You can collage or alter atc's, or a paste them into a nice journal book to display the master pieces .... So many more ideas yiou can do with them after wards...

Let me know by posting here if interested..

[Audreyrose]

Why not? Count me in. I am up for just about anything. I have many sets from RST and I love them.;)

[Carole]

I've never done any before, so I think it is about time I try. Please count me in. I just recently saw again an old Carol Duvall segment and a wooden tea box was decorated with small squares to resemble tiles. Already I'm thinking what I can decorate with "inchies".:D

[lillibet]

Wow cool Audreyrose and Carole:

I'm so happy you gals want to give it a try.. they are much fun and being so small with one image in the center a a bit of embelishment they are done.

I will need to ask you each start thinking how many we can swap of course this is after we know how many sign up so keep your fingers crossed that many sign up.

We will make it a open theme this ways we can use any of our stamps.

[piggy30]

I'm in!

Cathy

[mariarepsher]

I'd like to try this also.
Maria

[lillibet]

goooood ladies we are doing good.. Please think of how many you would like for us to swap these inchies are small and be be done lots so keep that in mind and later we will do vote on how many we will make to swap.

[restingrabbit]

What a cool idea - I have never done this before! Definitely put this wabbit down for this exchange - and how wonderful to have so much time!

N

[Marie]

:D I have never done inchies but would like to give it a try.

[vrstmpink]

I've never made inchies before, but have been seeing & hearing more about them in the past year.
It sounds like Fun -- count me in too!
Vicki in OH

[lillibet]

Cooooo ladies I'm so excited....that so many of you want to do this..
Please keep in mind to decide we have to decide together how many we as a group will make to swap...

How many of you think you can do 100 pieces and each one different.?

How many think you can do 50 inchies and each one different?

Let me know if you can hack any of these or less.

We will go with majority..

As for me I can do easy 100 pieces and all different. So i got no problem.. but i got to be fair to all...

On thing i do is i take a card stock and i collage it with various stamps you know a nice collage and then cut my squares or i do what ever i'm going to do for back grounds for my inchies in full card stock sheets and then stamp on them after i cut the inchies out.. then i just embelish and you Must Double mat the inchies so they have studyness..
Then sign you name and date on the back of each..

so get your thinking caps on and start creating and start cutting your inchies and pulling your stamps out... I got a ton of them tiny stamps i'll be working on tonight...

[Marie]

I vote for 50 for a first attempt but, will go along with the majority. Is there a theme or do we just do whatever we want?

[j3annin3]

May i join?

by some time in June I might be able to come up with at least 50, but a hundred just sounds like alot.

[Inky Whiskers]

:cry: I wanna try doing inches! If the due date is in April, I'll have to pass as I'm swamped already & the month hasn't even started yet.

If we're going for a later date (mid-May or later) I think I could manage 50 different 1" works of wonder. I guess for now I'll waiting until the rest of you decide what the due date & amount will be before commiting. I don't want to say yes then not be able to follow thru'. :D

I do have a few questions tho':

When you say 'mount the inches' do you mean that the finished dimensions, including the matting & should be 1" x 1" when we're done or that the art piece should be 1" x 1" and the matting will increase the dimensions?

Will we be sending them all to you to swap around & mail back in a SASE or will we be mailing a certain number to each player?

Why 50-100 different designs? 50 of one design is much faster to make than 50 single designs tho' making each one different quantumly expands the creative potential. I'll go with the directions as stated, I'm just curious as to the thoughts behind the preference.

P.S. Even if I don't get to play this time around, it sure will be fun to see what y'all come up with. What a great idea, Lillibet! :D

[marstamper]

Sign me up, too.

[Audreyrose]

I think:confusion: I can do 50. I would rather do a couple of different than all 50 different. I'll go along with the majority and do what ever is voted for. Making it due in June is great cause then I can do a littel at a time and not be too overwhelmed at the last minute. (Sometimes I tend to wait until the last minute, then panic:shock: )

[Inky Whiskers]

June? I can do 50 by June! Count me in please!!!

Maybe you could upload a few examples of your inchies for show & tell? Then we'd all have a better idea of what you have in mind. :D

[childsp]

Sounds interesting and challenging...sign me up!

[lillibet]

Hi again Ladies:
I think that the mayority rules and since many of us have not done these before then okay QTY: Will be 50..

I say each one different cause this way it gives me a good way to swap them easily around to the sign ups so that we don;t get stuck with too many of just one kind..
In other words.. If we don;t have 50 people that have sign up for this swap imagine then we all will have many of the same one ..
Thats why its better if we do each one different..
Now One thing we can do is I will go ahead and start a sign up sheet and I will list the official rules and due date will be end of June so I say June 30th, 2008
I will make a list and put each of your names and i will post next to your name when i receive the inchies..

so what i will do is take sign up til April 30th, 2008 this gives us 2 months to make and send the inchies.... If any one else wants to join after april 30th I will not add their name til i have theirs in my hands .. well any ways if there are 10 sign ups then we can each make 10 of five designs to swap ... Do you understand me better I hope I'm not confussing any one...

Well what I mean about matting is the following...

the inchie 1" x 1" square need to be sturdy so i ask that a second square be glued to the back to make the inchie sturdier... some people use chip board or mat board but i will not be so picky i'm using a second piece of square glued to the back that is where we will sign our names and date our masterpieces...

It will be fun i garantee you all once you get started you will say hey this is fun.....

So next week I will create the sheet with all sign ups on it etc and Yes you place them in a baggie and you must send a SASE for me to send you back your inchies...
I will write it all out next week better and it will still be on this post...
Have a Great weekend everyone and I hope more people sign up...

[vrstmpink]

Your instructions so far sound fine, Lillibet, and I agree too that making 50 for our 1st time sounds do-able.
I'm getting excited, looking through my stamps and working on getting some inspiration! FUN FUN
Vicki in OH

[restingrabbit]

I can definitely do 50 inchies. And whether I want to or not, I know each of mine will be different, might use the same stamp or go off with another, but pretty much whatever I do is a one-time event! Except for the challenge tags, I seem to be able to do those in quantity.

Thanks for such a great idea and explaining it so well. I think I have a handle on this and I'm rare'in to go!

N :clap:

[lillibet]

Hi there Inky whiskers:

Yes I will upload some photos of my inchies next weekend I promise..
So be on look out.


June? I can do 50 by June! Count me in please!!!

Maybe you could upload a few examples of your inchies for show & tell? Then we'd all have a better idea of what you have in mind. :D

[lillibet]

Great ladies:
I will work on a sign up sheet beginning tomorrow or maybe even late tonight so we start gettig a idea of how many of us there are so far and then we know how many different ones we do to swap around...

Thank you all for your kind words and for letting me do this swap with you all.
I love to try new things and expand my creativity and learn from many others too.

Have a Blessed weekend

[Audreyrose]

I am looking forward to this swap as Iknow I caqn do 50. I am glad you explained that we can do 10 of the 50 of the same design or maybe 5 of the same kind. Looking forward to doing this and seeing what I get.
Audrey:clap:

[Inky Whiskers]

Yes I will upload some photos of my inchies next weekend I promise..So be on look out.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, Lillibet! Sometimes a picture is worth more than 1000 words when dealing with somebody who perceives best when the directions are visual. So far I think I understand what we'll be doing & I'm having to contain my desire to start working on them today. :lol: I've got other stamping on my plate to get done first.

Have a lovely weekend dreaming about inchies & VLVS rubber heading your way soon. :D

[lillibet]

Okay ladies:

One Question?????

How many of you would like me to send you some mini puzzle pieces that you can use on some of your Inchies????

I went to a church rummage sale saturday and got three boxes of mini puzzles pieces and well what i will do on some of my inchies is alter a mini puzzle piece and glue to the inchie of course you have to cut out the excess hanging out parts but you can color the puzzle piece first and then stamp on it or you can glue scrapbook paper on it and then stamp on it etc etc etc..

So if you want some puzzle pieces please email or PM me your full name and amailing address and I'll get these out to you asap..
You don't have to put puzzle pieces on all...Just to play with.
Let me know gals

[j3annin3]

hello Lillibet!

thank you for you very generous offer, but for me; i think i must have some puzzle peices in some bag, box, or bin in my cabinet of twizzle bits and junk stuffs. :D It's a good and usefull idea. really, I should get in that cabinet and see what i have in there anyway. I was looking through some old gift and garden catalogs and pulled out quite a few nice bits of 'designed' paper to re-use. I'm truly happy to be doing this swap, it's going to be great fun!

[lillibet]

Hi Jeanne:

Yes puzzle pieces will be fun to play with in some of the inchies..
I know i will put some in ...
I'm glad you are participating as well...

[Inky Whiskers]

Puzzle pieces? I do believe I have some of those tucked away too, somewhere. Now you've got me thinking about what other miniature items are to be found in my stash that could work for inchies. :D

[lillibet]

Hi there ladies and gents:

I've gione and updated the first post and the tittle of this thread so please go and read on ...

Yes there on the updated post i've listed a few of the things that can be addted to embelish these tiny works of art...
And beleive me it dont take much. Some inchies dont even need any embelishments depending on the stamps we use..
I hope we get more sign ups ..
Spread the word and if you got other friends that want to participate just let me know..

[marstamper]

I have 20 of mine done, and am working on an idea for the next 10. After that...no ideas yet.

[lillibet]

see I told you this would be addictive...
Can you give us a sort of preview of what you have done just so the rest of us that have never done inchies before can have a idea of the possibilities..

I have 20 of mine done, and am working on an idea for the next 10. After that...no ideas yet.

[jaimie sander]

I would love to participate. Inchies make great jewelry pieces.You can connect them with jump rings or use Ranger Memory Frames.

[vrstmpink]

I'm tring to insert a picture of an inchie I just made, but I can't seem to 'paste' the code and when I typed the code in I don't see a picture when I preview this.
It was a FUN 1st try making one and I have lots of other ideas, especially want to try doing the collage type of layered fragments on larger cs & then cutting that into inch squares. It's something I've always meant to try and never have yet. Will see what works for me.
If this pic doesn't come up here, I'll post in the gallery. Vicki

I see what you mean, sooo many neat inchie ideas!
I just quickly glanced at the first 2 pages, but can't wait to check out more.
It was nice to see that the embelishments can hang over the edge a little -- I had an idea and wondered about that.
Thanks again, Vicki

Oh Happy Day!!! Poohstamps is joining a swap. :applause: I've been graced with her stamping art for years & now the world will get to share the inky fun that is Poohstamps. :D

[stampwoman]

The swap looks like a lot of fun, but I think I'm totally intimidated right now. I will keep on trying to keep my creativity going and maybe I can get in a swap in the near future.
Thanks so much!

Maybe you could makes some inchies for yourself to explore the concept? Nobody but you will see them unless you choose to show them off & when the inchies from this swap get posted to the galleries, you can compare yours to ours to decide how well you did. I'd be willing to bet you a cookie that yours are as good on average as those we swap. :D

[stampwoman]

Thank you! That sounds like a very good idea.
I'm looking forward to seeing the ideas people come up with, too!

Stampwoman

[lillibet]

I'm bumping this post up..
I'm still taking up signups for this swap til end of April mid May so come on ladies and gents try one and you will see you will be hooked..

I hope to see more sign ups... Please

[stampwoman]

It really is intriguing and sounds so fun. I have to do 50 for the swap by the middle of May? Is there a theme? I think I can, I think I can...woo woo!
(for the non-nerdy people, that's from The Little Engine that Could...)
Ok, if it's not too late, I'd love to try it.
It's only art one inch at a time, right?

Thanks,
Stampwoman

[lillibet]

I found my inchies supplies here:

http://www.ellenhutson.com/servlet/the-Inchies/Categories

When I Googled 'inchies' I got lots of galleries & blogs, but not much in the way of vendors with accessories. I suppose one doesn't really need much to make inchies. Just an inch or so! :D

[mariarepsher]

If your looking for the vinyl pockets, you can get also get them at this site:

[lillibet]

Hi Jamie:

I'm all excited too.

[mariarepsher]

Just letting you know I have finished my inches and I am sending them out today.
Maria

[lillibet]

Hi Maria:
I will keep my eyes opened... thanks for letting me know.

[Marie]

:wave: Mailed my inchies today.

[jaimie sander]

Hi Lillibet,
I know I promised to get my inchies out yesterday,but I just have a few more to finish.I promise they will go out this weekend.
Jaimie

[jaimie sander]

Hi Lillibet,
I mailed my inchies yesterday...finally !

[vrstmpink]

Hello Lillibet and everyone,
I am sooo excited that we are getting closer to the swap date for these inchies! :clap:
I probably won't be able to comment on them for awhile -- I go in for some serious back surgery in a week and a half and will be in for a long recovery :eek:
...But believe me, these will be a much anticipated & Fun diversion!
I'll look forward to maybe joining in on more swaps in the future.
I know I sure had loads of ideas & enjoyment making the inchies.
Vicki ;)

[Inky Whiskers]

Mine are done too! Now to get them & the cow ATCs in the mail. :D

[poohstamps]

Mine are all done!!!! they were so fum, i loved this...my goal is in the mail by Fri. I want to do these again!!!!!

[lillibet]

Hello Ladies:

Thank you for letting me know the status of the inchies and Marie I have received your lovely inchies as well ..

I Hope that you vicki will have a smooth surgery and I can only imagine the recovery process.. You take care and take it easy sweetie
I know you will have fun with the inchies you receive as much fun as you had making the ones you sent in...

If you ladies are interested I can host a INchies swap every month like with 10 inchies this ways we will have inchies coming in every month and build our inchies collection..
Think about ladies.... and let me know and another thing you can do is every time you stamp a image or come across a samp suitable for a inchie just stamp it up several times and this ways you will have some set aside to work and prepare...
Thats how I do it all the time... I got a small plastic container full of inchies and one full of backings from cereal boxes...

There is a 1" punch called Whale of a Punch and its the best for inchies and it goes thru like a charm on cereal box etc so think abuot it lades its a well investment..I got mine online cause i got no craft stores around.

Also I always make a inchie for me too when ever i make inchies this ways i got some of my works of art too...

So ladies think about it if you think we can do a monthly one let me know and we can start it for July...End of the month thing...

I hope to hear from many of you on this matter.
hugs

[Inky Whiskers]

OoOH! I like the idea of a monthly inchie swap & 10 would be a great number!!!

Pooh & I found those punches at the Puyallup show last month & they are great for inchies. To make inchie assembly just that much easier I xyron'd the cardboard before punching out the stablizing layer. I just had to peel & stick to put the art on. I also used mailing labels (the 30 per sheet ones that are one inch high) to make the name & date info for the backs. I could fit my info onto each label twice so one sheet made all the labels I needed for this swap! After printing, I cut the labels in 2 so the info was 1" wide.

this was so much FUN & we're not even done yet! Thanks Lillibet!!!

P.S. I'm glad you're getting creative & feeling better. :D

[alsmouse]

If there is going to be a 10 per month swap I'll consider it. The 50 was just too much along with all the other swaps & my work cards. Consider me in. ~C8>

[monkeykeeper]

I would love to do an inchie swap and 10 seems manageable to me. (I just joined the board a couple of days ago and I'm trying not to get carried away!)
Thanks for coordinating this!

[lillibet]

Thank you ladies for all your comments and kind words...

I love to host swaps and well It will be my pleasure to host the 10 a month on the inchies and well if you think about it in a year we will have 120 inchies from all forms of art from our fellow friends...

and not only that i think that 10 inchies will travel well for one first class stamp... So can't get better than that and well
You don't have to join every month and I will leave it as open theme
each month so this ways we don;t be picky with themes..

Or if you ladies prefer a theme each month that can be the case too just let me know your opinions please as I'm taking notes here...
Monthly theme would be examples:
One month I might pick a theme of wildlife
another month a specific color
another month might be snowman or santas or fall theme
etc you get it ???

So let me know which ways you'd prefer it I think that with a theme it will be like a challenge but then again if yiou don;t have anything related to that months theme then that might stop some of you of participating that month
So you see thats why i like open theme but you are the bosses so let me know..

[monkeykeeper]

I really like themes - they force a bit more creativity sometimes!
How about if there was a suggested/optional theme each month? Or maybe a really vague theme, like a particular color or season?
This will be wonderful either way!

[Marie]

I like the open theme too Lillibet. That way their is no pressure.

[Inky Whiskers]

I like specific themes. i.e. flowers, cows, cats, Christmas etc. It helps me know where to start. If we're ony doing 10 per month, coming up with one or two small stamps to fit the theme shouldn't be too taxing for anybody unless they have no stamps at all in that catagory. Not a problem I'm likely to run into, but I can sympathize. :D

Come on Lillibet, you know you want to do at least one cow themed inchie swap! :))

[alsmouse]

I would prefer a theme by month. Otherwise it could look like a train wreck. I find it also helps to focus the results. ~C8>

[j3annin3]

10 a month sounds good! I'd prefer the open theme. But i can go with a specific topic if that's what works best for everyone. :)

[lillibet]

[B]Okay ladies:

This is what we will do then.... We will focus on a theme a month... Then if that particular month you have nothing to be able to participate in that month but still want to play PM and let me know and then will give ya the okay for the open theme. Okay does this sound fair....???

Each mopnth I will give two themes for instance for July it will be for sure
Patriotic theme or celebration theme but using colors red white and blue
Does this sound good to you all..

Like for August we will use a theme like Summer, Fun things you do in summer, etc....Summer fun activities....

Let me know and i will go and post the sign up sheet and details ...
hugs and thanks for letting me host

[monkeykeeper]

Sounds like a great plan. I'm so excited! I've never made inchies before - but I'm already looking at my tiny stamps and embellishments in a whole new way.

[lillibet]

Yes dear this will open a whole new world for you monkeykeeper you will see... and i always stamp extras cause i always keep one of each for myself..

welcome....

[Inky Whiskers]

My inchies are in the mail! I tackled my mail man just as he was getting to our box. Whew! :eyeroll: I put both the inchies & cow ATCs in one outgoing envie but included a sase for each swap since they have different deadlines. :D

[lillibet]

Okay inky whiskers:

got cha will post when they arrive....
hugs

[alsmouse]

Just got an order for multiple sympathy cards requested by a co-worker so will have to drop out of this one. Sorry but this person has priority. ~C8>

[Inky Whiskers]

Understandable, but nuts, I was looking forward to getting a rat inchie. :(

[coolcamaro]

Can I join? I'd never even heard of inchies before this week but they sound fun.

[lillibet]

Hi there coolcamaro:

Yes you can still join this round of inchies due in June 30th, do you think you can have them 50inchies done in time??/
let me know by posting and I'll add your name to the list..
Please be sure to read all the details on first page.

If you can't do this June swap the 50 be on look out for the sign up sheet for the July inchies swap ... The 50 was what has gotten us so interested in doing the monthly swaps...

Again welcome and i hope you can do the 50 +
hugs:clap: :clap:

Can I join? I'd never even heard of inchies before this week but they sound fun.

[lillibet]

Hi there Alsmouse:

no problem I totally understand...
Good luck with the card making...

Just got an order for multiple sympathy cards requested by a co-worker so will have to drop out of this one. Sorry but this person has priority. ~C8>

[coolcamaro]

So, 50 different by the end of June? I'll give it a try. I should be able to do that, I think. Hope I'm not getting in over my head. I still can't figure out what to do for my ATC swap.

Oh, I don't think I saw (or don't remember) - is there a theme for these? Or do the themes not start until next month?

[Inky Whiskers]

This swap is anything you want to stamp and you can do 50 different or 5 sets of 10 each or 10 sets of 5 each. (These #s make it easier to swap them out over 50 all the same if there aren't 50 people swapping.) Just make sure you use sturdy card stock or attach a layer of thin card or chip board to the back & include your name & the date on the backs of all of them so we know the who & when later. Also include a SASE so you can get your swap inchies back.

The themed 10 count inchie swaps may be starting next month. :D

[coolcamaro]

OK cool. I just came back from the store where I bought a stamp that I think will be great for this. And a 1x1 punch. I'm going to give it a try.

[lillibet]

cool camaro:

You don't have to make all 50 inchies different... You can make like five of each different design that would mean you use 10 different stamps etc etc etc.. get it...
I have faith that you woll be able to do it....
give it a try.
There is no theme in particular for these inchies for June but beginning July it will be with a theme only 10 inchies a month...
If we get lots of sign ups then maybe we can have 2 sets...
We will see...
Any more questions ask awaysSo, 50 different by the end of June? I'll give it a try. I should be able to do that, I think. Hope I'm not getting in over my head. I still can't figure out what to do for my ATC swap.

[Inky Whiskers]

Poohs inchies are in the mail! She left her envie with me last night so I could weigh it for her & I sent it with the mail man today. We have the same great guy delivering our mail. :D

[poohstamps]

So I was just comming on to say my inchies should be going out in the mail today and i saw Inky's message:clap: I am so excited!!!! thanks my friend:lol:

[j3annin3]

Hello lillibet,
i'm still working on my inchies. But i do believe i willl have them done and to your mailbox in time..... :D maybe just in time but done nonetheless

[Inky Whiskers]

U B most welcome Pooh! :D

[coolcamaro]

My 50 are done. Please send me the address to ship them to. July is going to be 10 with a Patriotic theme, right? I might start those now. They do seem to be fun to do.

[Inky Whiskers]

Might I suggest, Lillibet, that for the July inches you start another thread soon? Maybe ask for theme ideas from those of us interested in doing this monthly and then maybe having us vote or pick one out of a hat or whatever. Getting a head start on swaps is always welcome. :D

[lillibet]

Hello Inky Whiskers:
I plan on doing the July sign up sheet today sometime...
As for Ideas on themes:

Well those interested in the swap can pm me your interests and i'll make a list and take the themes from there....
So gather up every one your likes of themes and PM them to me to jott them down...

hugs

[lillibet]

I just received CoolCamaro's fifty inchies and i tell ya you are pulling my leg when you say you never did inchies before...
They are lovely...

[coolcamaro]

Thanks, I'm glad you like them. I pretty much just did sort of a shrunk down version of an ATC and hoped it would pass. I'm also glad they made it there in good shape.

[Carole]

My inchies went postal today. :clap:

[j3annin3]

Hey lillibet, :)

I believe i'll get mine done and in the mail in time to make the deadline but i haven't mailed them yet....just wanted you to know.

[lillibet]

HI there Jeanine:
I wil double check then cause i thought it was you ..
So you were not the one that made me the cow Pin and sent the inchies????

I'm still working on mine.....unexpected house guests and a big furry cat bum/paper weight, were not helping me get stuff finished. I mail them tomorrow and they should still get to you by the 30th lillibet. I apoplgize to you all.

[j3annin3]

I did get my inchies mailed today. The post master said it would be surprising if they didn't get to your house by Monday lillibet. :) They weren't what i had planned, and one set in particular is not really what i'd hoped it would be, :eyeroll: but they're done and on the way. I'll do better next time. Hopefully not so much out-of-my-control stuff will be happenning. Thank You lillibet for starting and hosting this swap. I really did learn alot and it was fun except for the being tardy part.

[lillibet]

Dear Jeannine:

I received your inchies today so don;t you worry none .
They are lovely and thank you for the gifts. that was nice of you...

I got one more person to send me her inchies and well she got to wait for her check to come in..

So hang in there ladies cause these are well worth the waiting ...

I'm a flexible person and I'm reasonable so I hope you all undersand and give the gal a couple of more days...

In the mean time I'm making a gift for each of you ladies...
that participated in the swap....
hugs

[j3annin3]

:D I'm fine with how ever long it takes. Anticipation is good.

[piggy30]

I'm ok with waiting.

[lillibet]

Thank you ladies for waiting.... Every ones inchies are so great that i'd hate for her not to get any of yours and I'd hate for you not to get any of hers...
So again thanks for being patient...
hugs

[jaimie sander]

Sorry,I just saw this.I can wait till everyone is in.

[stampwoman]

Yeah, I am just now getting this message. No problem waiting.

[vrstmpink]

I'm curious... any word on our inchies? :confusion:
Has anyone else received theirs yet? I thought for sure they'd be here by now.
This is the first time I've ever participated in any swaps with this forum and I'm getting to wonder.

[lillibet]

Dear Vicki:

I got your pm and well I figured i'd answer here so every one else can know too what is going on..

Yes we had like 2 months to do them and well i just got the last set in Saturday and will be swapping them all out and sent in the mail by Monday latest.

Most every one understood that one person was not able to send in by due date and we decided to wait for hers so she wouldn't be left out...

Please dont feel scared to ask away and please do feel free to join other swaps that go on here in RSC ,,,

Please take care and I do hope and pray you get to feeling up and about soon
Thanks for good wishes on my anniversay. It was about the only good thing going on this week for me so far....

I will post here as soon as all inchies and gift go out to all that participated
hugs

[vrstmpink]

Thanks Lillibet, for letting me know when to be watching the mail.
Will look forward to seeing all these goodies everyone's made!!! :clap:

[lillibet]

Hi vicki let me tell you I'm in awe with everyones inchies especially cause mostly every one here said they never done inchies before so imagine what shock i was in to see so many beauties...
hugs

Thanks Lillibet, for letting me know when to be watching the mail.

[lillibet]

If i shorted you of 50 please let me know too so i make it up to you...

these all will leave in tomorrow Mondays mail
hugs and God bless and thanks for your paitence..

[Stampo]

50 inchies? I can't imagine... I did five today and am exhausted. LOL It was fun though and I'm glad to have one to show off in my store. First time I'd ever done an inchie and also first time I'd ever used a water pen with the markers and now I must have one! LOL Linda had never used my Ultra High Gloss Embossing Powder before and couldn't believe how it glittered so I gave her a bottle. It's the ONLY EP I'd ever use.

[lillibet]

Hi Wayne:

Inchies are fun and once you get started on one thats it... Now in your case you are doing Inchie dolls so thats a bit more and i can;t see doing fifty of them inchie dolls for a swap... Not all at once thats for sure...

I can't wait to see them!

[lillibet]

Hi ladies:

Just a confirmation to let you all know that all Inchies went postal today and hubby came back complaining cause since i added extra goodies in there for each of you the postal rate went up and so the post master had to weigh each envie etc again and add the exra cents here and there to each envie and hubby said there was a line up to the door ..... Poor baby right ladies???

I told him that as long as the extra cash was being paid and the post office was making money she had no right to be angry...

So that was the end of that story....

So be on the lookout ladies..
hugs

[Stampo]

You mean what I did isn't what inchies actually are? If all I had to do was decorate an inchie by itself, it would be a breeze... LOL

[lillibet]

Hi Wayne:

What you did was make inchie dolls.. You were to use a 1'x1' suqare thats a inchie for the body of the doll but decorate the inchie body and add arms and legs etc.. thats a inchie doll which is what you did.

Inchies swaps are just 1x1 inch squars that we fill up with a stamp and embelish and color etc ... and sign on the back
Some people add text etc to the inchies...

So yes Inchies are a snap to do but some people realy take their time to do these little master pieces.
Like pop ups or fun folds inchies and or accordian folds and so much more..
hugs

[vrstmpink]

:clap: I'm SO excited, my inchies arrived today! Whoo Hoo
They are All fantastic! I LOVE the ideas everyone comes up with -- just so clever.
It was Fun playing with everyone and I want to thank you again, Lillibet for pulling this together and for swapping all these babies out -- that must've been some big task with 50 from everyone!
Thank You too for the nice note and the goodies you made. That was very sweet of you.
I would really like to participate again, but I'll wait to sign up until I feel more up to it from my surgery. Hopefully in the next couple months or so.

[alsmouse]

What is an exploding inchie?? I can get inchies, & round inchies but the exploding inchie is a mystery. Would you please post one in the gallery. It will make it easier to decide if I want to try this swap. Thanks, ~C8>

[coolcamaro]

My inchies arrived today and they're great. But...I got 2 envelopes full so I'm afraid someone else might not have gotten any. Not really sure how that happened but if someone doesn't get any let me know and I'll forward the second bundle I got on to you.

[Inky Whiskers]

AW MAN!!! I gotta wait at least another day to get mine! :cry:

Ms. Mouse ~
Have you ever seen an explosion card where you have the regular card front & back, but inside is a piece that has been folded a la origami style and attached so that when you open the card the middle 'explodes' outwards? You have all that open space provided by the extra folded piece to decorate! I haven't seen an explosion inchie yet, but I'm thinking the same principal will apply in miniature. :D

[Carole]

I received my inchies today. They are all great! Nice variety. Lilibet, thank you for the extra moos and for doing this fun swap.:clap:
Carole :noway:

[lillibet]

Hi there almouse:

I will post soon .. but in the mean time if you ever done a Explosion Card its the same thing just that we will be needing a 2" square card stock to create the inchie once the folds are done it fold into a 1" piece of art..

I will post soon ..

Inky whiskers that is correct.. its the same only has been shrunk to 2" square and once folded it becomes 1inch..
Loads of fun to do..
I stamp first before i fold...

Thanks Jenna for uploading & describing yours for the 50 Inchie swap.
I received 4 of your Cool cats! :applause:
I'll upload a sampling of a dozen I received from different people in this swap --I think there were 2 or 3 people I didn't get any of their inchies, such as Piggy's and Marie or Maralee.
I'd love to see more, if anyone else uploads some they received or have made. It's so Fun & inspiring looking at all the different varieties.
I'll also upload a few of the ones I did for that swap. I sure enjoyed playing with you all! :)

I looked for the inchie gallery and only saw six posts. (They were great, though) Am I searching in the right place? I looked under gallery and typed in "Inchies" in the search box.
I would love to know how to put pictures in the gallery. Does anyone know how to explain how this is done? Is anyone allowed to put their work on there?
Still learning my way around this sight!
Thanks!

Hi Michelle, :wave:
You're right, if you type 'Inchies' in the search box for the gallery, 6 posts come up.
...But if you just type in 'Inchie' without the s, you'll see 9 more additional posts.
I do hope you'll upload some of yours. That's what's so fun, is all the sharing and inspiration on this forum!
I'm not real computer savvy, LOL, but here's briefly how I upload pics to the gallery.
1st - Log In Then on the 2nd brown bar from the top of the page, far right, click on 'Upload Photos'.
It's pretty explanitory, step-by-step.
You'll click on the dropdown box to select the 'category' -- for the Inchies I uploaded I clicked on 'Beyond Cards'. Next click (or is it double click ? I can't remember) on 'Browse -- for my computer, this brings up a page of 'My Photo Files' I've saved -- just double click on what you want.
Type in a title, a description if you'd like (such as stamp credits or technique used...), then add some keywords and click on 'Upload/Submit'.
Good Luck. :)

Thanks for noticing! :lol: I try to wait until everybody has gotten their swaps back before posting my swap(s) to the galleries. If anybody needs me to upload their inchies or email them scans of their inchies so you can do it yourself, just let me know! My contact info is on my member page.

From the 50 inchies swap I have pieces from:

Poohstamps
j3annin3
Carole
childsp
Vicki
Jaimie
Marie
Oksana
Norma
Lillibet
Alice
Maria
and some that didn't get signed, but I think may be from Marstamper

I know some of you can upload your own from doing past swaps with you, but some of the newer members might like help? If I upload for you, your art will be in the swap gallery & in my personal gallery, but I'll list your name in the title so everybody knows it's your work. If I email you scans, you can upload to your own gallery. :D

Nope! I didn't sign mine. Never even thought about it. LOL

I thought I recognized the iris stamp! :lol: The ones I think may be yours feature:

1) strawberries
2) an iris
3) a monkey
4) Betty Boop & friends

Are these all yours? If so, I'll get them uploaded. :D
