Description:

Go to Flickr and search for "kawaii inchies" for tons of tiny, cute inspiration! I have a couple of sets on my photostream and there are lots and lots of really great Kawaii inchies posted throughout the site (in several different techniques).

Inchies are tiny works of art that measure 1" by 1" square. They can be any medium/technique - hand drawn, painted, stamped, collaged, fabric, beaded, crocheted, metal, ceramic, wood, etc. They do need to be sturdy - at least two layers of cardstock, for example.

You will send 6 inchies to each of 3 partners (make 18 total inchies). Design is sender's choice so you can start your inchies as soon as you sign up!

You do not have to put any info on the backs of the inchies (there isn't much room) but if you want to - go for it! You can attach your completed inchies to ATC-sized cards or a notecard, but this is not required.

Please let me know if you have any questions at all - this will be the third Kawaii inchies swap I have hosted (yes, there might be a TINY addiction there).

Before I get started - how do you feel about the use of kawaii stickers/flakes on inchies? :) Is it ok, or should I go with something else?

@Marryth - I love stickers and sticker flakes, even on inchies and ATCs! I know some people feel differently - some people ban the use of ANY stickers in their inchie and ATC swaps (I don't join those swaps). I will just say that I don't want any "sticker slapping" going on - in my mind this is a plain piece of cardstock with one sticker on it. I want people to make nice backgrounds, add some embellishments, some hand drawn doodling, some stitching, or even do a collage of multiple stickers, etc. if they are going to put a sticker in the middle. Does that make any sense at all? I know what I want to say - just can't figure out how to say it...

Perfect - thanks! :) (Sticker use is fine, so long as it isn't JUST a sticker.)?
