BOO y'all!

I just love the Holiday's and Halloween is just the kick off for my house being decorated till next year!

This swap you will make 5 inchies for 2 partners for a total of 10 HALLOWEEN inchies. I did see another Halloween inchie swap up for spooky and vintage themes (so be sure to check them out too as I will have to get on those as well).. this one is for plain halloween theme so make your inchies how ever you want for Halloween..just dont put a plain 'ol stamp or sticker on it and call it done.. put a little creativeness into it :)

these wonderful 1x1 inchies are so much fun to collect and make and if you have not done one yet...oh just you wait! One word...ADDICTING!!

Inchies=A work of art, similar to an ATC, that is created on a 1″ x 1″ square background. A variety of mediums may be used as a 1″ x 1″ base, e.g. cardstock, wood, glass, shrink plastic. Embellishments are made of paper, glass, wood, plastic, stickers, pictures, or any medium so it can be sculpted as long as it is 1x1 :-)

You can paint, draw, sew your inchies how ever you like as long as it is Halloween Theme. Be sure they are on cardstock or have a sturdy backing on them. These are not to be made on plain copy paper as this is to flimsy unless you put a backing on it.

I thought this would be a fun swap for the beginner inchie maker or for the pro. Make them spooky or fun...How ever you want as long as they repersent Halloween.

New swappers are welcome with a filled out profile. All others must have 4.8 or higher ( not just email swaps) IF you have lower then 4.8 but have not had any bad ratings in the past month and want to join..contact me first..otherwise you will be banned from this swap. ANYONE...that does not follow through with this swap will be banned on my future swaps :( So please be a happy swapper!!

So lets all get out our markers, paint, colored pencils, scissors, glue, materials, altered vinyage art and Halloween thinking caps on and make this a GRrrreat Inchie Swap!! One last thing...HAVE FUN with your creations and go ahead and get started now, swap does not begin till SEPT. do you have plenty of time to play with your creations!

oh, I forgot to add... if you stamp your inchie you must embellish it! Slapping on a sticker or putting a stamped image on it does not complete the inchie!

Watchlist. = )

I love Hallowe'en too. I plan to use the inchies to embellish cards I'm writing to friends. <3

Finished my inchies yesterday. How cute they turned out, especially since they were my first attempt. Thanks for the swap and making me discover the joys of inchies.

my inchies got featured on the blog for this swap too, so if you get them, I didn't copy the picture, I swear! Those are just mine. LOL

BarefootGypsy, from the 7 September update? I saw them; they're totally cute! That's the post that brought me here. :D

I'm a newb to this site, but not to trading. I hope my profile is the right kind of filled out enough (hahaha).

BarefootGypsy 09/12/2009 #

Yep, I had made them as soon as I joined the swap and then posted the pic on my flikr. maybe I'll get you as a partner and then I can send you some! LOL

I joined your Vintage halloween swap doublesided and got those done just today. I am swamped with Halloween inchies..LOL

This will be my first time making inchies, i already love ATC's but i thought this would be fun especially since halloween is the best time ever!!!!! :)

Cassidymonster 09/15/2009 #

Are you supposed to put anything on the back of the inchie?

creationsbygena 09/16/2009 #

You can put the name of the swap i.e Halloween theme inchie on the back then your name or if you have a name for your mini art like you name your ATC you can put the name on the back of your inchie..like say you did a spooky cat and you name it "hells cat" put that then sign it on the back of course all in mini writing :) of course this is just what I do. Others might do something else. I have gotten them with nothing on the back and some with just a name. Hope that helps.

Cassidymonster 09/16/2009 #

thank you so much for the response :)

Tommie 09/19/2009 #

Sandpunk 09/19/2009 #

Time to get some mailing done.

happycat 09/28/2009 #

I've sent out my Halloween inchies on the 26th into the street mail-box they are the first ones I've ever made. It wasn't as easy as I thought working in such a small area, was fun nonetheless.

Please let me know when you receive it. thank-you! :0)

doublesided 09/28/2009 #

For the backs of my inchies I found it way too hard to write on them so I made up a sheet I can print off and glue to the back like so....

doublesided 09/28/2009 #

Sorry here is the link.... Inchie Back

Sandpunk 09/28/2009 #

Okay, sorry for cutting it so close with the send date, but. I had to go by the post office, and living out in the middle of almost nowhere it can be a little difficult. Sent!

Sandpunk 09/28/2009 #

I was not happy with how the Jack-o-lantern ones turned out, my orange paint sucked hard.
