Ok all you paper crafters. Time to try something on a small scale.

Inchies. 1 inched square peices of eye straining art! this is free theme, but make them nice.

make 8 inchies for 1 partner.

they need to be on cardstock as some people like to mount them or use them on greeting cards and stuff. any medium is fine, as long as you do your best work.

Can beginners join this swap?

I bought a punch and it says 1".. on the back it shows the side is 1" and the other side is 1" but in the middle it says from corner to corner (diagonally) it is 1 3/17" or something. Is this the size of an inchie?

nelliebugsdotcom, I dont think so but what you can do to be sure is to (if you have a paper trimmer it's much easier), measure out and cut yourself and 1 in by 1 in square. Then punch out you square with you paper punch, then compare, you may need to trim one side, but then you will know! Hope that helps!

i have not seen one perfectly square 1inch punch. im still looking

I have a punch made by Marvy Uchida that punches a perfect one inch square that I use all the time for inchies. It is yellow with a lever. I love it because it allows me to easily punch out backgrounds from papers and get the design and/or words just how I want them.

The diagonal on an inchie should be about 1.41 inches, which is just a little shy of 1 7/16 inches (assuming I did my math correctly!)
