all in an inch

We have some news....

To all of our Inchie Arts friends and supporters, we have been pretty quiet the last few months and feel a little explaining is in order.

We have poured our time and passion into Inchie Arts for almost 10 years, and have found the greatest joy in sharing through teaching, demos, our blog and social media. We have been honored to earn your support and enthusiasm, and have missed not posting creatively since January.

Like many of you, we are discovering the challenges of finding ourselves in the role of caregiver to aging parents. Our family is currently in that gray area of supporting healing after an unexpected illness, and managing a home sale and move – activities that take an enormous amount of time, energy and support.

With extremely limited time to devote to the business, for what realistically may be several more months yet, we have made the difficult decision to put the business on hold. We are evaluating exactly what that means, and will let you know more detail in the very near future. 

In the meantime, while we will not be posting creatively on the blog (All In An Inch), Inchie Arts FB or Instagram we will keep these accounts open as they are a great resource for creative ideas.

And, you can always reach me at [email protected]

Stay tuned - and thanks for your understanding - Lisa

The perfect substrate for layering

In this new MIX-Ability challenge Dina uses a standard billing envelope liner and layers of color to create this wonderful mixed media piece. 

The base is a 4" white Art Square that because of it's 4 ply solid core thickness, won't buckle or wrinkle when layers of gel medium, collage, stamping and color are applied - making it the perfect substrate for mixed media! 

Visit Dina Kowal Creative for the details. 

A perfect box top

Check out this wonderful faceted box that Dina created for a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. 

We love how a 2" Art Square is the perfect topper!

All the details can be found at Dina Kowal Creative.

And the winner is....

A very special congratulations to our randomly chosen winner!

Seasons Givings - A special thank you!

Happy New Year 2017 !!

We are so excited to be included again in the Seasons Givings Blog Hop!

This really is a spectacular event and all the credit goes to Latisha Yoast for her vision and organization! She has created a wonderful way for all of us...to thank all of you...for the love and support that has enabled everyone on this list to continue to share their creativity. And, as we learned last year, this is a great way for us to introduce Inchie Arts - Art Squares to those unfamiliar with our products. 

 

 

This year we introduced our Little Village kits, Original and 2. The response has been tremendous and as we, and others, continue to experiment with how they can be used, there is no doubt that these will become part of your year round papercrafting and card making. If you are looking for samples and ideas on how to use Little Village kits be sure and visit the Inchie Arts Facebook page.

 

 

We would like to extend a very special thank you to all the artists and crafters who shared their work with us!! You continue to inspire and demonstrate that Art Squares are the perfect substrate for everything from stamping and coloring, mixed media, Gelli Plate, die masking, watercolor, stencils, Pan Pastels, Stendoodling, photo collages, cubes, tags and so much more.
