<Star_of_He> Well we have cinnamon rolls, candy bars and Dove ice cream bars and Janet - now where is the teach?
<Janet> utoh. Where IS glitergrrl YAY! there she is!!
<gltrgrrl> Here here here!
<Barbra> Hooray
<roommonito> Teach, you need to put your caps lock on
<gltrgrrl> minor 'puter problems fixed by sparkle
<roommonito> and we'll keep the non-class related chit chat to a minimum
<gltrgrrl> GOT IT
<gltrgrrl> EVERYBODY READY?
<froggie> Ready
<LuniLadi> yep
<CrowFeathe> yep, what supplies?
<Star_of_He> URL?
<froggie> Is there a class example site?
<gltrgrrl> THE URL FOR THE CLASS IS http://home.earthlink.net/~angelin/page1.html
<gltrgrrl> SUPPLIES ARE:
<gltrgrrl> SCRAPS OF PAPER, ALL TYPES ALL SIZES, CANDY WRAPPERS, TISSUE
<Nita> great!!
<CrowFeathe> do we have to take the candy out the wrappers?
<gltrgrrl> FANCY ASIAN PAPER, NEWSPAPER, MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES
<gltrgrrl> BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS AHHH JUST ABOUT ANYTHING
<brenda> sorry i am late
<gltrgrrl> THIS IS A GREAT CARD CAUSE i SAVE EVERYTHING!
<gltrgrrl> SCISSORS, GLUE, RULER, CARDSTOCK
<gltrgrrl> EMBOSSING POWDER, I PREFER METALLIC, BUT ANY WILL DO
<gltrgrrl> OH - THE GLUE SHOULD BE A GLUE STICK, AS IT WILL DRY
<gltrgrrl> FAST ENOUGH FOR THIS CLASS
<gltrgrrl> HEAT GUN, EXACTO OR CUTTING DEVICE
<gltrgrrl> AND PIGMENT INK
<gltrgrrl> I THINK THAT IS ALL
<gltrgrrl> I'LL PUT THE SUPPLIES ON THE WEBSITE, MY APOLOGIES THAT IT IS NOT THERE NOW
<gltrgrrl> FIRST THING YOU DO IS TO DIG OUT ALL THOSE SMALL PIECES OF PAPER
<gltrgrrl> AND TEAR BIGGER PIECES INTO PIECES ABOUT 1 INCH BY 1 INCH OR SO
<gltrgrrl> NO NEED TO BE EXACT
<gltrgrrl> CAN BE A LITTLE BIGGER OR SMALLER. YOU NEED LOTS OF PIECES
<gltrgrrl> THEN FOLD AN 8X10 CARDSTOCK IN HALF AND CUT IN HALF
<gltrgrrl> YOU'LL HAVE 2 PIECES
<gltrgrrl> THIS CAN BE THE SAME COLOR AS THE CARD OR A COORDINATING COLOR
<gltrgrrl> IT WILL NOT SHOW ON THE FINISHED CARD
<gltrgrrl> SO ARE WE ALL TEARING?
<LuniLadi> another good place for "mistakes"
<gltrgrrl> YES THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES FOR MISTAKES
<gltrgrrl> MOST OF MY WORK GOES INTO THESE CARDS (!)
<LuniLadi> I have plenty to use :)
<Star_of_He> Sorry, but I cannot pull up the URL.
<brenda> can you use mistakes from several projects or should they all be similar
<gltrgrrl> IT IS http://home.earthlink.net/~angelin/page1.html
<gltrgrrl> MAKE SURE YOU USE THE TILDE INFRONT OF ANGELIN
<gltrgrrl> SPARKLE YOU'RE GREAT - THANKS!
<gltrgrrl> NOW TAKE ONE OF THE CARDSTOCK PIECES AND GLUE THE PIECES
<msmphb> will these instructions be posted...or are taking notes..quickly??
<gltrgrrl> ONTO IT
<gltrgrrl> THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE SITE ALSO
<gltrgrrl> http://home.earthlink.net/~angelin/page2.html SHOWS THE STEP WE ARE ON
<msmphb> great! thanks...
<gltrgrrl> AND THE CLASS IS BEING LOGGED AND WILL BE POSTED
<gltrgrrl> COVER THE ENTIRE PIECE OF CARDSTOCK WITH THE PAPER
<gltrgrrl> SO THAT NONE OF THE CARDSTOCK SHOWS
<CrowFeathe> I love your color choices on the sample, Gltrgrrl
<gltrgrrl> THANKS <BLUSH>
<gltrgrrl> DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
<gltrgrrl> JUST GET THE PAPER GLUED DOWN
<gltrgrrl> YOU WON'T RECOGNIZE YOUR COLLAGE AT THE END
<gltrgrrl> AND WE'RE GLUING AND GLUING AND GLUING
<brenda> so we are overlapping right?
<gltrgrrl> YES
<brenda> ty
<gltrgrrl> IS EVERYBODY CLEAR ON THIS PART? QUESTIONS?
<Nita> Beautiful samples!!
<gltrgrrl> TY
<LuniLadi> do you have to glue allll the edges?
<LuniLadi> a real good job?
<gltrgrrl> ALL OF THE EDGES SHOULD BE FAIRLY GLUED DOWN
<LuniLadi> ty
<gltrgrrl> NOT PERFECT THO
<gltrgrrl> THIS IS AN IMPERFECT TECHNIQUE
<brenda> hey deb
<deb> hi bren
<deb> hi all
<gltrgrrl> WELCOME
<Nikki-NZ> gidday deb
<deb> jus got home from work
<gltrgrrl> DEB WE ARE GLUING
<deb> sorry to inturrupt
<gltrgrrl> IT'S OK JUST GET OUT YOUR GLUE STICK
<Nita> :)
<deb> ok - glue stick in hand
<gltrgrrl> AND SCAPS OR MISTAKES AND GLUE 'EM TO HALF OF AN 8X10 CARDSTOCK
<gltrgrrl> THAT'S SCRAPS
<gltrgrrl> AND WE'RE GLUING........
<gltrgrrl> ARE WE ALL GLUED?
<Janet> i dropped pieces on the floor. this is gonna take me aminute
<gltrgrrl> NO PROB
<deb> janet - leave 'em
<brenda> lol janet
<LuniLadi> some of us are unglued ;)
<Janet> (I"m trying to peel 'em off the floor now)
<gltrgrrl> HEHEHEHEHE
<brenda> oh they are already glued huh?
<gltrgrrl> HEY JANET MAYBE THAT'S A NEW FLOOR COVERING TECHNIQUE
<deb> LOL
<Nita> what size is the finished card? Are your sample ones square?
<gltrgrrl> I CAN USE IT IN MY BATHROOM
<gltrgrrl> MY SAMPLE ONES ARE DIFFERENT SIZES
<msmphb> From your web page...my daughter's attitude exactly...Don't worry what the end result of your college is, just have fun!
<deb> http://home.earthline.net/~angelin/page1.html
<gltrgrrl> THE ONE I LEARNED ON WAS SQUARE, BUT THE OTHERS ARE JUST HALF OF AN 8X10 FOLDED
<gltrgrrl> YOU COULD EVEN MAKE A TALL ONE
<Nita> ok, ty
<gltrgrrl> HMMMM THINK I'M GONNA TRY THAT ONE, WOULD LOOK GOOD
<Keribou> you could use Evo's square templates to help get your squares even
<deb> http://home.earthlink.net/~angelin/page1.html
<deb> oops type the first one wrong
<deb> those are gorgeous
<gltrgrrl> SURE COULD
<Janet> (Brenda, if I'm gonna drop pieces, you think I'd drop unglued ones? or glue side up?)
<brenda> not you janet LOL
<gltrgrrl> ON THE FIRST PAGE (PAGE1) THE TOP CARD IS SQUARE AND THE BOTTOM IS RECTANGLE
<brenda> forgot you are the messy one like me
<deb> no that's ME
<gltrgrrl> OK - NOW THAT YOUR STAMPS - OH THATS RIGHT YOU NEED STAMPS PREFERABLLY WORD
<gltrgrrl> STAMPS OR LINE STAMPS
<cak> This might be a good time for the xyronites to get out the adhesive cartridge. Then they'd be stuck to a sheet til you're ready to use 'em.
<dbstampin> lol, xyronites, hafta remember that <g>!
<LuniLadi> what a great tip cak!
<brenda> good idea cak
<gltrgrrl> USE PIGMENT INK, AND STAMP ALL OVER THE TOP OF YOUR COLLAGE
<cak> (like I've used mine all that much
<gltrgrrl> TURN THE STAMP SIDEWAYS, UPSIDE DOWN
<froggie> xyronites-sounds like aliens to me! LOL
<LuniLadi> mine's in the box :/
<gltrgrrl> AT AN ANGLE
<Star_of_He> Luni> get it out of the box - use it - you will love it!!!!!!!
<LuniLadi> did you use single word stamps?
<LuniLadi> or sayings?
<cak> Do you find that the size of the word(s) matters?
deb waves at LuniLadi
<gltrgrrl> COULD BE SINGLE WORDS
<LuniLadi> I know...everytime I want to use it...it's too much of a hassle to set up
<gltrgrrl> OR ANY WORD CAUSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO READ IT ANYWAYS
LuniLadi waves back
<gltrgrrl> I LIKE TO USE FLOWING LETTERS, YOU KNOW THE PRETTY CURSIVE ONES
<LuniLadi> as long as it's bold?
<gltrgrrl> YES
<cak> fairly large?
<LuniLadi> TY
<gltrgrrl> CAN BE LARGE OR SMALL, JUST STAMP IT ALL OVER THE COLLAGE
<gltrgrrl> GO OFF THE EDGES
<gltrgrrl> GO SIDEWAYS AND UPSIDE DOWN
<CrowFeathe> leave any space empty of words?
<LuniLadi> sloppy stamping...what fun!
<gltrgrrl> YES, SPACE YOUR WORDS
<CrowFeathe> ummmm, how?
<gltrgrrl> YOU DON'T WANT IT TOTALLY COVERED, YOUY NEED TO SEE THE PAPER
<gltrgrrl> BENEATH IT
<gltrgrrl> JUST MOVE YOUR STAMP OVER AND TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN
<gltrgrrl> OR STAMP CROSSWISE
<gltrgrrl> THEN YOU WILL EMBOSS IT
<gltrgrrl> I USE METALLIC, BUT ANY EMBOSSING EXCEPT CLEAR WILL WORK
<gltrgrrl> http://home.earthlink.net/~angelin/page3.html SHOWS THE COLLAGE WITH EMBOSSING
<gltrgrrl> BUT YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE THE EMBOSSING
<gltrgrrl> TRUST ME, IT'S THERE
<gltrgrrl> I USED GOLD AND IT DOESN'T STAND OUT IN THE SCAN
<gltrgrrl> LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU ARE DONE EMBOSSING, OK?
<CrowFeathe> how do you go about choosing the colors you'll use, gltrgrrl?
<gltrgrrl> KINDA BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS.....
<gltrgrrl> ACTUALLY I TRY TO STAY IN A COLOR FAMILY, SAY ALL BLUES AND
<gltrgrrl> THEN FIND AN ACCENT COLOR, USUALLY METALLIC
<gltrgrrl> LIKE BLUES AND SILVER OR PURPLES AND GOLD
<CrowFeathe> thx
<gltrgrrl> ORANGES AND COPPER
<gltrgrrl> THE METALLIC REALLY ADDS TO THIS CARD
<gltrgrrl> NOW COMES THE REAL FUN PART
<gltrgrrl> AFTER YOU HAVE EMBOSSED TURN THE PIECE OVER
<gltrgrrl> TAKE YOUR RULER AND LINE ONE EDGE ALONG THE EDGE OF THE CARD
<gltrgrrl> AND CUT DOWN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RULER
<gltrgrrl> SO YOU END UP WITH A STRIP THAT IS AS WIDE AS YOUR RULER
<CrowFeathe> ohhh, i get it now--
<gltrgrrl> GOOD CROWFEATHER I'M GLAD!
<CrowFeathe> hvaen't we overlapped our papers though? do we cut off the uneven edges first?
<gltrgrrl> YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU MIGHT NEED TO TRIM THE EDGES OF PAPER SO THAT YOU ONLY
<CrowFeathe> and, about how wide is the ruler you use on the 8x10?
<gltrgrrl> HAVE THE CARDSTOCK
<gltrgrrl> IT'S 1.25 INCHES
<CrowFeathe> thx!
<gltrgrrl> I THINK THAT THAT IS A STANDARD SIZE RULER
<CrowFeathe> k, I have a quilting one, but it's too wide.
<gltrgrrl> KEEP CUTTING STRIPS UNTIL YOU HAVE CUT ALL THE CARDSTOCK INTO STRIPS
<gltrgrrl> YES THE QUILTING ONE WOULD BE A BIT MUCH
<gltrgrrl> UNLESS YOU HAD A REALLY REALLY BIG PIECE OF CARD STOCK ;-)
<deb> do we emboss the blood
<CrowFeathe> well i don't quilt but i bought it cause you can see through it
<CrowFeathe> blood??!
<deb> I'm not good with exacto knife
yamamama passes out bandaids
<gltrgrrl> ACTUALLY THE BLOOD ADDS A CERTAIN AUTHENTICITE TO IT
<CrowFeathe> oh noooooo
<brenda> lol deb
<deb> lol
<deb> just call me clutz
<Nita> rofl
<gltrgrrl> CLUTZ
<brenda> let the doctor do the cutting deb
<gltrgrrl> LOL LOL
<debclutz> oh funny brenda
<gltrgrrl> LOLROF
debclutz bops brenda
<brenda> reehee
brenda slinks to the corner
<gltrgrrl> OK WE GOT STRIPS OF COLLAGE, RIGHT?
<debclutz> almost
<CrowFeathe> bloody strips
<brenda> lol
<Nita> ewwwww
<CrowFeathe> ick!]
<gltrgrrl> OH PRETTY
<CrowFeathe> beginnin to sound like a battleground in here!
<debclutz> lol
<gltrgrrl> NOW TAKE ONE OF THE STRIPS, AND LAY IT SO THAT IT IS VERTICAL TO YOU
<gltrgrrl> STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN
<gltrgrrl> TAKE YOUR RULER AND LAY IT ACROSS THE TOP LINING UP THE TOP EDGE WITH THE
<gltrgrrl> TOP EDGE OF THE RULER AND CUT ON THE OTHER SIDE
<gltrgrrl> YOU WILL END UP WITH A PERFECT SQUARE
<gltrgrrl> A LITTLE PERFECT SQUARE
<brenda> neat
<gltrgrrl> http://home.earthlink.net/~angelin/page4.html SHOWS THIS IN PROCESS
<cak> (this is where the quilting rulers would excell)
<gltrgrrl> YOU ARE GOING TO CUT ALL YOUR STRIPS INTO LITTLE SQUARES
<LuniLadi> yeah...with rotary cutters
<gltrgrrl> CAK - I ACTUALLY HAVE A REGULAR SIZE RULER THAT IS CLEAR THAT I USE
<gltrgrrl> BUT IT WOULDN'T SCAN GOOD
<cak> lol
<gltrgrrl> YOU MAY HAVE TO HOLD YOUR RULER DOWN PRETTY HARD, SO THAT IT DOESN'T SLIP
<gltrgrrl> AND GIVE YOU A LOPSIDED SQUARE
<gltrgrrl> BUT IF THAT HAPPENS, JUST TELL YOURSELF YOU WANTED IT THAT WAY
<brenda> gltrgrrl does it have to be this small a square? or could you make the squares larger?
<gltrgrrl> NOW YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF LITTLE SQUARES IN FRONT OF YOU
<cak> (good approach!)
<gltrgrrl> NO, YOU COULD MAKE THEM BIGGER, BUT THERE WOULD BE LESS ON THE CARD
<CrowFeathe> couldn't I draw a line and cut carefully with scissors?
<brenda> ty
<gltrgrrl> AND PART OF THE COLLAGE PROCESS IS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
<gltrgrrl> CROWFEATHER, SURE
<brenda> ok got ya
<CrowFeathe> k
<gltrgrrl> NOW THESE SQUARES
<Nita> how cool and fun!
<gltrgrrl> TAKE THEM AND TOSS THEM IN THE AIR TO MIX THEM UP
<gltrgrrl> WELL YOU DON'T HAVE TO TOSS THEM
<gltrgrrl> BUT YOU DO WANT TO MIX THEM UP
<dbstampin> Janet's are on the floor now, huh?
<gltrgrrl> FOLD YOURSELF A CARD
<gltrgrrl> ;-)
<CrowFeathe> tossing sounds fun-- the artiste in abandon!
<Janet> yeah, i worked ahead. Mine are already mixed up. (and glued down) (to the floor)
<Nita> just let my kids get ahold of them
<gltrgrrl> JANET - MY STAR STUDENT
<Janet> LOL
Redstick pipes up..."Any reason you couldn't do triangles or odd geometric shapes like mosaic?
<dbstampin> always one step ahead huh Janet, LOL!
<gltrgrrl> REDSTICK YOU COULD USE ANY SHAPE IF YOU WANT
<gltrgrrl> NOW YOU ARE GOING TO FOLD YOURSELF A CARD
<Nita> what a great idea!
<dbstampin> Stamping Arts & Crafts shows it with hearts in the current issue
<gltrgrrl> WHATEVER SIZE YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR CARDS
<gltrgrrl> HALF OF AN 8X10, QUARTER OF AN 8X10 OR WHATEVER
<CrowFeathe> with the 1 inch measurement, what size works best?
<gltrgrrl> TAKE YOUR LITTLE (OR BIG) SQUARES AND GLUE THEM ONTO THE FRONT OF THE CARD
<GailWink> cutting out hearts would be hard. Would a punch be tough enough to do it?
<gltrgrrl> GUESS IT DEPENDS ON THE PUNCH
<gltrgrrl> YOU WANT TO LEAVE SPACE BETWEEN EACH SQUARE
<dbstampin> use a template, like evo's
<dbstampin> the ones they did weren't that small
<gltrgrrl> AND NOT ALL OF THE SQUARES YOU JUST CUT WILL FIT ON ONE CARD
<cak> (yay! a twofer)
<gltrgrrl> MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MIXED THEM UP AND THAT NO TWO THAT WERE CUT APART
<gltrgrrl> ARE NEXT TO EACH OTHER
<gltrgrrl> TURN THE SQUARES IN UPSIDE DOWN
<gltrgrrl> AS IN ROTATE THEM, NOT CARDSTOCK SIDE UP
<gltrgrrl> http://home.earthlink.net/~angelin/page5.html SHOWS A COMPLETED CARD
<gltrgrrl> YOU CAN LEAVE SPACE AT THE BOTTOM TO STAMP A MESSAGE
<gltrgrrl> OR YOU CAN COVER THE ENTIRE CARD
<froggie> Neat class and card gltrgrrl!
<gltrgrrl> http://home.earthlink.net/~angelin/ SHOWS A FEW MORE VARIETIES
<gltrgrrl> TY
<gltrgrrl> IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WANT TO SEND ME SOME SCANS OF YOUR CARDS
<Nita> Thank you so much gltrgrrl, can't wait to get started!!
<gltrgrrl> I'D LOVE IT - I'M AT ANGELINE@CYBERGAL.COM

LuniLadi gives deb a hug
<froggie> Poor Deb
<LuniLadi> poor deb
<debclutz> so glad to see you LuniLadi
<gltrgrrl> CAN WE EMBOSS IT DEB?
cak thinks deb better get a rotary cutter--still dangerous, but less than an exacto
<LuniLadi> yeah...it's been awhile deb
<LuniLadi> missed chat
