<Janeteatin> Well, the pepsi spilled a lil in the car, but there's still plenty left, Lora

<deb> is it diet pepse?

<deb> or the real thang

<cak> Hi deb!

<PageSage> HAVE EVERYONE LOOKED AT THE FIRST WEB PAGE?

<Janeteatin> Lora asked for the real thing

<deb> yes

<Jillie> Okay I just sent the class info to about 6 lists

<Janeteatin> Suzanne, I did.

<PageSage> http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker1.html

<EvieNC> yes

<Janeteatin> It's beautiful!

<dobarah> yeppers...beautiful!

<deb> http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker1.html

<deb> gorgeous

<RubberRabb> I'm not late am I?

<PageSage> I KEEP THIS LESSON ON MY WEB SITE ... SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN THIS EVENING! ;-)

<Lora> Thanks...but I had to have the realll thing & ALL of it

<dobarah> thank you!

<PageSage> JUST STARTING RR

<CopperOfTh> thnx

<deb> http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker1.html

<deborah> love not having to write it all down!

<deborah> thank you

<PageSage> THE LIST OF SUPPLIES YOU'LL NEED IS ON THE SECOND WEB PAGE: http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker2.html

<Lora> yup, TY

deb waves at deborah and dobarah

<deborah> waves back :)

<PageSage> QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE SUPPLIES?

<dobarah> Hello!

<Janeteatin> these can be any kind of reinkers?

<dobarah> does it have to be diamond glaze or will others work?

<PageSage> WE ARE USING DYE REINKERS

<RubberRabb> I haven't read the page yet, Suzanne, but are there any restrictons on reinkers

<Jillie> Don't try this with memories reinkers... or any other permanent reinker

<Janet> okay. got it.

Jillie knows from a botched job

<PageSage> I TEND TO USE MARVY AND THE RAINBOW INKS FROM DEE/POSH/RANGER

<EvieNC> Substitution for Diamond glaze?

<CopperOfTh> Just wanted to see if I had irc

<RubberRabb> is Diamond Glaze and 3DCrystal Lacquer about the same?

<kamperstam> hi Sandy from one Wisconsinite to another

<PageSage> YOU COULD USE 3D CRYSTAL LAQUER

<dobarah> oh goodie...that's what I have!

<PageSage> YOU WANT A GLUE THAT DRIES TOTALLY CLEAR AND WILL NOT YELLOW ON YOU

<CopperOfTh> Be back

<RubberRabb> Is there such a thing as another cleardrying glue?

<Lora> I have a "sample" tube of Diamond Glaze, would that be enough until I get an order in?

<PageSage> I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE MORE COMING INTO THE MARKET, RABBIT

<RubberRabb> Polymer Gloss Gel Medium maybe?

<PageSage> HMMM ... I HAVE NOT SEE HOW BIG THE SAMPLES ARE

<Lora> Tiny

<dobarah> little tube!

<PageSage> WE WILL BE USING ABOUT A DAB ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER FOR EACH CARD/PROJECT I SHOW TONIGHT

<dobarah> blistex looks large compared to this!

<Lora> Un... as long as a pinky finger & about that round

<PageSage> LOL

<RubberRabb> It has about a tablespoon of Diamond glaze in it--enought for one card I guess

<PageSage> IT SOUNDS LIKE ENOUGH FOR ONE CARD

<Lora> that would work if it's a small image - huh?

<Janet> (yay! linda! you made it!)

<Sandy> Hi..sorry I was trying to get the URL typed

<linda> whoopee!

<deb> http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker1.html

<PageSage> AFTER ALL, I LEARNED THIS FIRST TECHNIQUE FROM MARJO AT JUDI-KINS ... SO I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THERE WASN'T ENOUGH THERE TO MAKE ONE CARD ;-)

<Lora> cool, I'm set then

<PageSage> IT COULD BE ANY KIND OF IMAGE ... I LIKE MEDIUM SIZE IMAGES ... WHICH YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SAMPLES <SMILE>

<PageSage> WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE MEMORIES INK, JILLIE, DID IT DRY TOO QUICKLY?

<PageSage> OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT SUPPLIES?

Janet uses her favorite Enchanted Ink floral rectangle for this

<RubberRabb> do virtual ones work?

<PageSage> VIRTUAL WHAT?

<RubberRabb> :-)

<PageSage> SUPPLIES? LOL!

<RubberRabb> (pretending..)

<PageSage> OK ... SO LET'S TAKE A PEEK AT THE THIRD PAGE ON THE WEB SITE: http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker3.html

<PageSage> YOU WANT TO START BY STAMPING YOUR IMAGE IN PERMANENT INK ON THE TRANSPARENCY

<PageSage> YOU WILL THEN NEED TO GIVE THAT INK TIME TO DRY ... OTHERWISE YOU CAN END UP WITH A MESS

<cindyc> i missed the beginning did you use 123 ink or what?

<Janet> I knew that. (don't ask me how I knew it though)

<PageSage> ONCE IT IS DRY, YOU WANT TO FLIP IT OVER. WE WILL BE DOING THE REST OF THE WORK ON THE BACK OF THE TRANSPARENCY

<deb> what kind of permanent ink did you use?

<Janet> (I forgotted to flip it over, too. it made a big mess)

<PageSage> I USED JUDI-KINS BLACK PERMANENT INK .... MEMORIES SHOULD WORK TOO ... OR RANGER PERMANENT INKS

deb waves at evo

<janmike> heyyy evo

<cindyc> hi evo

<PageSage> IT HAS TO BE A PERMANENT INK ... OTHERWISE YOUR IMAGE MAY EVENTUALLY RUB OFF

<evo> :}>

PageSage winks at Evo

<PageSage> LOL JANET

<PageSage> FLIPPING IT OVER IS KEY BECAUSE THAT WAY YOUR STAMPED IMAGE STAYS SHARP ... AND IS NOT DIFFUSED OR BLURRED WITH WE ADD THE REINKERS AND DIAMOND GLAZE

<PageSage> OK ... SO NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS DRY AND FLIPPED ...

<Stampie> Hi everyone

<PageSage> WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE EVERYTHING OUT AND READY TO GO FOR THE NEXT STEP

<PageSage> YOU WOULD WANT TO PICK 3-5 DIFFERENT REINKER COLORS

<PageSage> I TEND TO LIKE USING ANALAGOUS COLORS ... YOU KNOW ... THE ONES NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE COLOR WHEEL

<PageSage> THAT WAY WHEN EVERYTHING GETS BLENDED, I DON'T END UP WITH SOME GREY-COLORED MESS! LOL!

<PageSage> YOU WOULD ALSO WANT TO HAVE YOUR DIAMOND GLAZE OUT

<PageSage> AND IF YOU PLAN TO ADD ANY EMBELLISHMENTS (E.G. GLITTER OR BEADS), I WOULD HAVE THEM OUT AS WELL

<Janet> I have AIG glue, that will work, though, since it dries clear, right?

<PageSage> IT SHOULD JANET ... I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET THOUGH FOR THIS TECHNIQUE

<EvieNC> Wonder if PPA would work?

<Janet> I asked, but I used it before and it works good. i think those who tried PPA said that worked too

<TheQueen> this so cool Suzanne

<AmyLPR> hi

<cindyc> wouldn't beeds be bulky when you build your card?

<PageSage> I WOULD EXPERIMENT BY PUTTING SOME OF THE GLUE ON A CLEAR TRANSPARENCY AND LET IT DRY ... I BET PPA DRIES TOTALLY CLEAR AND YOU WOULD BE FINE

<EvieNC> good, I have PPA but no Diamond Glaze.

<PageSage> YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO USE AN ADHESIVE THAT WILL YELLOW

<Janet> Hi, Amy. Class page is on http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker1.html (and I think we're on page three now?)

<PageSage> I WOULD USE SMALL BEADS, CINDY ... LIKE FAIRY GLASS OR THE MICRO BEADS FROM JUDI-KINS

<PageSage> YEP ... PAGE 3 NOW <SMILE>

<Stampie> I think judi-kins.com has a link you can get a free sample

<PageSage> THEY DO ... WWW.DIAMONDGLAZE.COM

<TheQueen> free? what's free?

<Janet> I used evo-glitter last time too. that was awesome

<TheQueen> yay

<Janet> Evo's got dries clear glue, too

<Lora> a small tube of diamond glaze - I got one

<Lora> it's about enough to do a card (they thought)

<Debby> lol

<PageSage> SO ... YOU THEN PUT A BLOB OF DIAMOND GLAZE (OR WHATEVER DRIES CLEAR ADHESIVE YOU ARE WORKING WITH) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK SIDE OF YOUR TRANSPARENCY

<AmyLPR> ok

<PageSage> THEN, YOU WANT TO ADD ONE DROP EACH OF YOUR REINKERS ... I'VE ADDED THE FIRST DROP ON PAGE 3 ... AND THEN 2 DROPS OF OTHER COLORS ON PAGE 4

<Jessica> hi all

<PageSage> AS SOON AS THE DYE INK TOUCHES THE ADHESIVE, IT WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN THE ADHESIVE

<Monica> Hi, sorry I am late.

<PageSage> BUT I WANT TO BLEND IT A BIT FURTHER

<Janet> Hi! class page is at http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker1.html and we're on page 3

<PageSage> SO I JUST TAKE MY FINGER AND SWIRL IT THROUGH THE DYE/ADHESIVE MIXTURE TO BLEND IT A BIT

<PageSage> BUT DON'T BLEND SO MUCH THAT IT ALL BECOMES ONE COLOR

<Janet> Can I give another tip?

<PageSage> OF COURSE, YOU COULD USE A PAINT BRUSH, Q-TIP, WHATEVER, BUT I JUST USE MY FINGER

<PageSage> SURE JANET

<Janet> if you use a q-tip to smear it around? don't lay the q-tip on your desk and forget you did it.

<evo> lol

<PageSage> LOL

<cak> LOL

<Lora> lol

<Janet> don't ask me how I know that one either.

<Stampie> lol

<Jessica> lol

<PageSage> A LOOK AT IT SMEARED, UMMM, BLENDED, IS ON PAGE 5 OF THE LESSON

<Janet> (see how much I learned last class?)

<Jessica> just gonna watch for now

<LuniLadi> Been busy today huh Janet ?

<Janet> LOL yep

<PageSage> THE GRAPHIC THERE IS A BIT BLURRY, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA <SMILE>

<evo> tip> and if you use a toothpick... don't, er, um... forget you used it in the ink and glue

<PageSage> LOL

<Janet> LOL

<Janet> at least i didn't do that one.<g>

<Lora> lol

<PageSage> IF YOU WANTED TO ADD GLITTER OR SMALL BEADS, THIS WOULD BE THE TIME TO DO IT

<PageSage> NOW ... WE HAVE TWO CHOICES AT THIS POINT

<PageSage> WE CAN EITHER LET THIS DRY THE WAY IT IS

<PageSage> OR

<PageSage> WE CAN USE A PIECE OF WHITE TISSUE PAPER TO ADD SOME DEPTH AND TEXTURE

<Janet> i used evo glitter, the transparent white kind that I forgotted the name of, it turned out sooo awesome

<PageSage> YOU WOULD TAKE THE TISSUE PAPER AND WAD IT UP ... THEN SMOOTH IT BACK OUT

<evo> mist or dazzler, Janet :}>

<PageSage> AND JUST LIE IT ON TOP OF THE ADHESIVE WHILE IT IS STILL WET (PAGE 6)

<Janet> mist I think

<PageSage> THAT SOUNDS PRETTY JANET

<Jessica> sure does

<cindyc> love your recycle tip of using the tissue between the transperant!

<cak> Janet, did you back that with tissue paper or leave it with just the glitter?

<LuniLadi> What's the name of that one evo?

<PageSage> YOU WOULD JUST PAT THE TISSUE PAPER DOWN AND THEN LET IT DRY

<LuniLadi> I hope it's one I got at Pennsauken :)

<Janet> it was gorgeous, if I do say so myself. so pretty. I scanned it, then used the scan as windows wallpaper for abouta month after that

<PageSage> YOU CAN SEE SOME SAMPLE CARDS MADE WITH THIS TECHNIQUE ON PAGE 7 OF THE LESSON

<Lora> I love those samples...

PageSage blushes

<TheQueen> Bye All....and if you love the first lesson, the 2nd lesson is ADDICTING!!!!!! <G> WTG Suzanne!

<Monica> They are very Nice!

<Janet> and I did back it with tissue paper

<terrie> Hi :)

<evo> Luni... any of the mists or dazzlers would work

<Janet> Hi, Terrie. Class page at http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker1.html

<Lora> how did you do the thing in the lower right side?

<Stampie> How do you adhere the transparency to the card stock then?

<PageSage> ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SAMPLE CARDS ON PAGE 7?

<PageSage> I USE MORE DIAMOND GLAZE

<LuniLadi> TY evo..

<Janet> i used more dries clear glue on mine

<PageSage> YOU WANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT EVEN IF YOU USED THE TISSUE PAPER, THE TRANSPARENCY WILL STILL BE SOMEWHAT TRANSPARENT

<Stampie> wonderful...thanks!!!

<PageSage> SO ... IF YOU LAYERED IT OVER A PIECE OF DARK CARDSTOCK, YOU WOULD SEE THAT ... AND YOUR WORK WOULD BE DARKER

<Stampie> What type of ink did you use to stamp the image again?

<PageSage> I TEND TO LAYER THESE ON A PIECE OF WHITE CARDSTOCK FIRST ...AND THEN ADHERE THAT TO A CARD

<PageSage> BLACK PERMANENT INK ... ANY BRAND

<deborah> where do we get evo glitter?

<Lora> from evo

<PageSage> NATURALLY, THE SAMPLE CARDS ON THIS PAGE THAT ARE CIRLES, DIAMONDS, OVALS ... WELL THAT WOULD BE THE JOY OF EVO'S TEMPLATES!

<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/evo

<kamperstam> from Evo at evolving Images

<Janet> (you knew I'd know that one. :)

<deborah> thx

<PageSage> LOL

<deborah> i have evo's squares!

<PageSage> ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS TECHNIQUE BEFORE I GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE I WANT TO SHARE THIS EVENING?

<evo> whoa... lol... deb... i think i luv you and page, and janet and....

<deborah> so absolutely not pigment reinkers?

<PageSage> I HAVE ALL OF EVO'S TEMPLATES ... THEN SHE DESIGNS MORE ... THEN I HAVE 'EM ALL ... THEN SHE DESIGNS MORE COOL ONES ... <SMILE>

<deborah> lol

<Stampie> Do you find a brand of dye reinkers better than the next?

<evo> lol, Page... I have your PageSage, too!

<Janet> I luv Evo templates. (that's how I made the layers to go under my reinker transparency for my card)

<PageSage> I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS WITH PIGMENT REINKERS ... I AM NOT SURE YOU WOULD GET THE SAME EFFECT ... PIGMENT INKS ARE NOT AS TRANSLUCENT AS DYE INKS

<deborah> ok thx

<PageSage> HMMM ... I LIKE MARVY AND I LIKE THE RAINBOW INKS FROM POSH/RANGER

<EvieNC> Pigment inks might not dry on the acetate either.

<PageSage> BUT ANY DYE REINKER SHOULD WORK ... NOT PIGMENT, NOT PERMANENT!

<RubberRabb> Well pigments would NEVER dry on the acetate

<Janet> but it would be worth trying. I'll try it. I'm good at making messes

<deborah> lol

<cak> Would pigment inks "desolve" in the glue? That might be a problem too.

<PageSage> HMMM ... YOU COULD TRY CRAFTERS INK REINKERS I GUESS ... BUT I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE DYE INKS

<cak> desolve = dissolve

<PageSage> LOL

<deborah> ok dye it is

<Monica> I was just thinking I didn't have any reinkers, and would love to do these techniques! Then I remembered I bought a rainbow sponge and don't like it!

<stamper> My list of supplies if getting longer.

<PageSage> OTHER QUESTIONS?

<Monica> I have six reinkers! Will this work?

<Janet> Enchanted Ink sells reinkers. So does AJ's Stamp world I think

<PageSage> YEP ... IN FACT, MONICA, IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THE SETS, YOU WILL ALREADY HAVE COLORS THAT LOOK GOOD TOGETHER <SMILE>

<Monica> WHohooooo!

<RubberRabb> can't be longer than MY list of supplies, stamper!LOL

<evo> For the Black permanent... I have that...

<Monica> Great! I can play tomorrow!

<evo> not on my web page, though... too new

<RubberRabb> (you need to get PageSage, doesn't she, Suzanne?)

<Debby> monica I don;t care for my rainbow thing either

<PageSage> I LIKE THE LIGHTER INK COLORS FOR THIS TECHNIQUE ... DARK COLORS CAN MAKE THE STAMPED IMAGES TOO HARD TO SEE

<Lora> Oh, I love the next lesson too.....very cool cards.

<PageSage> LOL

<Monica> I can't get the stupid thing to work like she does!

<deborah> me either monica

<Monica> Oh, well.

<Debby> I couldn't live without my pagesage, major crs!

<PageSage> WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW ... CAN I HELP?

PageSage does a happy dance <smile>

<Monica> Page sage is my next investment!

<kamperstam> it takes practice to use the rainbow sponge

<kamperstam> but once you get it it is awesome

<sparkle> LOL...Dee is the only person I know who can do those perfect straight lines like that.

<PageSage> YEP ... PRACTICE TO LEARN ANY NEW TECHNIQUE OR TOOL

<PageSage> LOL

<evo> black permanent pads, also, we have.. document permanent

<Monica> I just don't think my hand wants to cooperate with my brain!

<Monica> Made great backgrounds for Joseph's Coat though!

<RubberRabb> what makes that rainbow sponge different than any other sponge that is striped with inks?

<deborah> she has new video out, maybe that will help[

<Stampie> on...talking about page sage. are their product list upgrades? for example with the new kaliedacolor pads out

<sparkle> its a very compressed pad Rabbit

<sparkle> not like a sponge sponge <G>

<PageSage> WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THESE TECHNIQUES IS THAT THE RESULTS ARE SOMEWHAT UNPREDICTABLE ... SO YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT IT AS AN ADVENTURE <SMILE>

<EvieNC> holds more ink than other sponges

<RubberRabb> ok--been using compressed sponges for a long time

<janmike> and for some strange reason, it cleans up really well

<deborah> love adventure

<Janet> adventure is my middle name

<Monica> What is the next technique?

<PageSage> STAMPING ... WE MIGHT HAVE UPDATES ... LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT DURING THE SOCIAL NEXT HOUR ... OK?

<cindyc> i like the ease of this lesson.... sounds like a fun adventure to me!

<PageSage> ALRIGHT ... SO WE MOVE ON TO PAGE 8 ON THE WEB SITE

<RubberRabb> Yes--next technique!!

<PageSage> IS EVERYONE FAMILIAR WITH THESE KINDS OF ACETATE REPORT COVERS?

<Lora> no no, I'm on page 11 & in love with this look

<Jessica> yes

<PageSage> LOL

<deborah> do you get them at staples?

<Jessica> yes

<PageSage> I HAD A STUDENT FROM SWEDEN LAST TIME I TAUGHT THIS CLASS .. SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE

<EvieNC> Could we just fold a transparency in half for this technique?

<Jessica> they are like overhead transparencies deborah

<deborah> ok

<PageSage> UM ... I HAVE NOT TRIED THAT EVIE ... AS LONG AS YOU COULD GET A DECENT CREASE

<linda> You can get them at WalMart, KMart, etc. in the school supply section too.

<deborah> ok thx

<Monica> Would a cut scrapbook page protector work?

<PageSage> OR ... YOU COULD USE TWO SEPARATE PIECES OF TRANSPARENCY ... IT WOULD JUST BE A BIT MESSIER

<Stampie> and Target!

<EvieNC> Just trying to save myself a trip to get folder, Page :)

<PageSage> THAT SHOULD WORK MONICA

<PageSage> LOL

<Monica> Thanks, can ya'll tell I am trying to use up what I got?

<RubberRabb> just make sure it isn't the plastic bag type protector--too flimsy

<EvieNC> me too, Monica.

<cindyc> brilliant monica!

<Monica> ok

<Lora> yes, but could you "comfortably" fit you CS in after you fold it & cover everything without the mess going everywhere

<PageSage> YEP .. AND IT SHOULD HAVE A SMOOTH SURFACE

<Monica> Ok.

<EvieNC> good point, Lora

<Lora> I think it might not be spacious enough around the edges

<PageSage> IF YOU GET ONE OF THOSE, OH, WHAT DO THEY CALL THEM. BUT SOMEWHAT TEXTURED PIECES OF TRANSAPARENCY THE RESULTS WOULD BE DIFFERENT

<PageSage> YEP ... THE TRANSPARENCY SHOULD BE BIGGER THAN THE CARD <SMILE>

<PageSage> I DO ONE 4-1/4 X 5-1/2 INCH CARD INSIDE OF AN 8-1/2 X 11 IN TRASPARENCY!

<PageSage> OK ... SO WE HAVE OUR REPORT COVER

<cak> Better safe than sorry!

<PageSage> AND WE OPEN IT UP

<PageSage> WE WANT TO PUT SMALL DROPS OF DIFFERENT COLORS OF DYE REINKERS ALL OVER THE PLACE

<PageSage> I USE 3-5 ANALOGOUS COLORS

<PageSage> YORU REPORT COVER WOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THE ONE ON PAGE 8 OF THE WEB LESSON

<linda> glossy or matte cs?

<PageSage> THEN, WE CLOSE THE REPORT COVER

<PageSage> THE MINUTE YOU CLOSE IT, THE INK WILL START TO MOVE

<Monica> So just dots, not too much huh?

<PageSage> SEE PAGE 9 OF THE LESSON

<PageSage> LITTLE DOTS EVERYONE

<PageSage> WHITE GLOSSY ... GOTTA BE GLOSSY FOR THIS TECHNIQUE TO WORK

<Cajan^> Where is the lesson posted?

<PageSage> http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinker1.html

<PageSage> OK .. SO WE'VE INKED THE INSIDE OF THE REPORT COVER AND CLOSED IT

<PageSage> NOW WE WANT TO PULL OUT OUR BRAYER

<PageSage> AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS COOL ... WE WON'T EVEN GET THE BRAYER DIRTY <SMILE>

<Lora> yahoo

<deborah> love that lol

<Janet> (sez you<g>)

<PageSage> AND RUN THE BRAYER OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE REPORT COVER A FEW TIMES TO BLEND THE INK

<Lora> well, if you use the report cover, anyway....

<PageSage> SAME THEORY ... BLEND ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THROUGHLY INKED THE INSIDE OF THE REPORT COVER ... BUT NOT SO MUCH THAT YOU LOSE THE DEFINITION OF INDIVIDUAL COLORS

<PageSage> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

<Jessica> found 3 of my reinkers...pansy, rose and celeste blue...only ones I got

<EvieNC> makes sense to me.

<cak> Yep

<Debby> sure does

<deborah> yes...do not overblend

<stamper> right, don't mix tooooo long

<PageSage> OKAY, SO NOW WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE WHITE GLOSSY CARDSTOCK READY TO GO

<PageSage> WE WANT TWO PIECES OF WHITE GLOSSY CARDSTOCK

<PageSage> AND WE WANT TO HOLD THEM TOGETHER ... WITH THE SHINY SIDES FACING OUT

<PageSage> ARE YOU STILL WITH ME?

<Lora> yep

<stamper> yes

<Monica> Yep,

<deborah> yes

<terrie> same page pagesage

<PageSage> GOTTA HAVE THE GLOSSY SIDES FACING OUT

<RubberRabb> uhhuh

<Janet> yep

<cak> Yep--like a pre-cooked grilled cheese sandwich without the cheese

<Lora> http://www.pagesage.com/html/Crafts/Lessons/c-reinkers10.html

<PageSage> NOW, WE OPEN THE REPORT COVER AND PLACE THE WHITE GLOSSY CARDSTOCK INSIDE ... PICKING A SPOT WHERE WE HAVE LOTS OF INK

<PageSage> TAKE A PEEK AT PAGE 10 OF THE LESSON

<PageSage> ONCE WE'VE PLACED THE CARDSTOCK INSIDE, WE CLOSE THE REPORT COVER

<PageSage> AND TAKE OUR BRAYER AGAIN, AND BRAYER ALL OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE REPORT COVER

<PageSage> THIS TIME, INSTEAD OF BLENDING THE COLORS, THE BRAYER IS TRANSFERING THE INK FROM THE REPORT COVER TO OUR TWO PIECES OF WHITE GLOSSY

<Jessica> thats what I thought

<Debby> wow

<PageSage> FROM THIS, WE CAN THEN MAKE CARDS LIKE WE SEE ON PAGE 11

<cak> Suzanne, how quick do you have to be with this technique? Do the drops of ink dry quickly?

<RubberRabb> very cool, Suzanne

<PageSage> REALLY EASY ... REALLY FUN ... REALLY PRETTY

<Jessica> and we can redo this over and over until the ink is all gone on the cover correct?

<PageSage> HMMM ... CAK ... YOU HAVE A FEW MINUTES ... YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO LET THE INK DRY ON THE TRANSPARENCY BEFORE YOU TRANSFER IT TO THE CARD STOCK

<EvieNC> I have a question about last card on page 11, please.

<cak> Kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it (if you let it dry too much)? thanks

<PageSage> BUT THEN AGAIN ... SINCE DYE BASED INKS ARE WATER BASED, YOU COULD ALWAYS SPRITZ A BIT OF WATER INSIDE TO REWET THE INKS ... BRAYER TO BLEND .. AND THEN SLIP THE CARDSTOCK IN LATER

<PageSage> OK EVI ... SHOOT

<EvieNC> It looks like you have stamped on the background created by this technique. Am I right?

<EvieNC> looks like stamped and embossed.

<PageSage> BY THE WAY ... I JUST HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT JILLIE PICKED THE COLORS FOR THAT LAST CARD ... WHICH I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF ... AND I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT <SMILE>

<PageSage> YEP ... STAMPED AND EMBOSSED AFTER IT DRIED

<EvieNC> it's gorgeous!

<PageSage> THANKS ... I THINK THAT CARD MIGHT BE IN THE NEXT ISSUE OF STAMPING ARTS AND CRAFTS <SMILE>

<Lora> what colors are in the last card

<EvieNC> thanks. And is the long ectangle done in same technique as background?

<PageSage> UM ... GIVE ME A SEC AND I'LL CHECK THE ACTUAL COLOR NAMES ... JUST HAVE TO LAUNCH MY PAGE SAGE SOFTWARE <SMILE>

<Debby> vbg

<EvieNC> It deserves to be published.

<Lora> sell it baby.....

<PageSage> LOL

<Lory> could you then use the "dried ink transparencies" for collage

<PageSage> OK ... THESE ARE RAINBOW INKS FROM THE SHADY FOREST COLLECTION ... THEY ARE PUT OUT BY RANGER

<Lora> would they dry? I would think it would always be "wet" or run easily

<PageSage> THE COLORS ARE MUSTARD, RED PEPPER, GINGER, AND CURRANT

<Lora> very pretty

<kamperstam> ooooo I like those gorgeous

<PageSage> SINCE THE DYE IS MIXED WITH ADHESIVE THEY MIGHT NOT RUN .... YOU WOULD HAVE TO EXPERIMENT

<PageSage> LOL ... JILLIE HAS A GREAT EYE FOR COLOR

<Monica> Hey, I got those type pf colors! THe sponge pack I got was "earthtones"

<Lory> maybe seal it

<PageSage> THERE ARE, UM,

<EvieNC> Page, do you document all your cards like that? Does it take long?

<PageSage> 5-6 DIFFERENT SETS MONICA

<PageSage> YEP, EVIE, I DO ... AFTER ALL, I *AM* PAGESAGE ... SO I DO USE MY OWN STUFF!

<Monica> Close to the colors at least

<deborah> adhesive in transparency tech?

<EvieNC> LOL, Page. You are so organized!

<PageSage> IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO LONG IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ENTERED ALL OF YOUR SUPPLIES

<PageSage> OH ... DOH! IN THE SECOND TECHNIQUE THERE IS NO ADHESIVE ... SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO SEAL THEM IF YOU WANTED TO USE THEM IN A COLLAGE

<Monica> I should get my pagesage, since I am still "getting started"

<deborah> ok thx

<RubberRabb> I got four pieces published after putting them into PageSage..

<PageSage> JOIN US FOR THE PAGESAGE SOCIAL NEXT AND YOU'LL LEARN MORE <SMILE>

<deborah> :)
