<StampinTig> well, I have been trying to get the silly pictures to work but they won;t
<brendab> lol
<StampinTig> so I may have to send visuals later :-(
<brendab> audra calm down
<brendab> breathe
<cindyc> what is wrong?
<StampinTig> lol
<brendab> it will be ok
<StampinTig> well, my friend took digital pics and she can't get them to send to me
<cindyc> ahhh
<cindyc> no problem
<brendab> put them up later
<cindyc> we are very creative... grin
<StampinTig> it isn't hard to do eiher
<StampinTig> but i like visuals lol
<brendab> stamping candles is hard
<brendab> i know
<LindaR> Just give us a link where they will be and I'm sure we can check later
<brendab> they roll and move
<Kaye> just let us know when u get them
<StampinTig> i DON'T HAVE THE LINK YET
<StampinTig> BUT I CAN EMAIL IT TO THE LOOP WHEN I DO
<cindyc> someone wrote on a list i am on of using the heat and stick powder for stamping on candles... for glitter... hadn't heard that one
<jenmist> ok
<StampinTig> OK...IS IT TIME?
<StampinTig> OR IS MY CLOCK FAST?
<cindyc> my clock i wrong.....
<AliciaG> I have :05
<StampinTig> OK
<StampinTig> THEN I WILL GO AHEAD AND LIST WHAT YA NEED
cindyc gets ready to cut and paste
<StampinTig> SORRY...I AM A LITTLE FRAZZLED WITH MY HUBBY OUT OF TOWN AND HE WAS TRYING TO COME HOME FOR ME TODAY BUT COULDN'T
<StampinTig> Supplies list:
<Kaye> i understand taht
<Kaye> mine is leaving tomorrow
<StampinTig> TRACING PAPER
<StampinTig> DYE INK (I USE BLACK)
<StampinTig> STAMP OF CHOICE
<StampinTig> HEAT GUN
<StampinTig> COLORED PENCILS
<StampinTig> BEADS, WIRE, WIRE TOOLS
<StampinTig> MISC CHARMS, BUTTONS, ETC IF WANTED
<StampinTig> I PREFER TRACING PAPER BECAUSE IT IS REALLY THIN
<brendab> oh neat idea
<StampinTig> TISSUE PAPER DOESN'T WORK AS WELL BECAUSE IT IS THICKER
<StampinTig> OK...FIRST OFF: STAMP YOUR IMAGE IN BLACK DYE INK (OR COLOR OF CHOICE)
<Cheri> <----hubby almost blew it by not changing rooms....lol
<StampinTig> IF YOU ARE PATIENT AND HAVE THE TIME...LET IT DRY FOR A BIT SO IT DOESN'T SMEAR
<StampinTig> IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND DO THINGS LAST MINUTE OR ARE IMPATIENT...HIT IT WITH A HEAT GUN TO DRY IT FASTER
<cindyc> patient? isn't that a sick person?
<StampinTig> LOL CINDY
<StampinTig> I AGREE
<cindyc> †
<StampinTig> FLIP YOUR IMAGE OVER SO THE SIDE YOU STAMPED ON IS FACING DOWN
<brendab> hello craft
<StampinTig> THEN COLOR WITH COLORED PENCILS
<StampinTig> WHEN YOU FLIP IT BACK OVER (AFTER COLORING) IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL
<StampinTig> I USE COLORED PENCILS BECAUSE THEY ARE WAXY
<cindyc> i do that with my prisma inks too audra! †
<StampinTig> I WOULDN'T SUGGEST USING ANYTHING FLAMMABLE :-) JUST IN CASE YOU DROP YOUR MATCH :-)
<cindyc> right... writing this down... *†*
<brendab> lol
<craftclass> am i here
<StampinTig> OK
<craftclass> ooops
<cindyc> lol
<StampinTig> SORRY...HAD A PHONE CALL..MY FRIEND IS FRANTICALLY TRYING TO HELP ME
<StampinTig> I HAVE THE PICS BUT NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THEM NOW LOL
<Kaye> hello jena
<cindyc> poor brenda
<StampinTig> AFTER YOU COLOR THEM...CUT CLOSELY AROUND THE IMAGE
<cindyc> i can put them on my eboard if you like....
<StampinTig> OH THAT WOULD HELP A LOT CINDY
<StampinTig> WHAT IS YOUR EMAIL?
<cindyc> cjcmlc@bright.net
<StampinTig> OK..SENT THEM TO YOU
<cindyc> ok... brb
<StampinTig> HOPEFULLY IT WILL WORK ALTHOUGH THE CANDLES DON'T SCAN WELL BUT IT WILL GIVE AN IDEA
<StampinTig> SORRY ABOUT THIS...IF MY HUBBY WAS HOME...THEY WOULD BE ON A WEBSITE LOOKING GOOD LOL
<Debbie> they sound beautiful
<Kaye> i just got the new photoart stamp sheet in the mail today
<StampinTig> I HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON THEM
<cak> But now we can feel useful and ge to use our imagination
<Kaye> they will be great with this
<StampinTig> OK...AFTER YOU CUT AROUND THE IMAGE
<Debbie> and Christmas candles with Stampsmith Blessed are
<StampinTig> HEAT YOUR CANDLE UNTIL IT MELTS A LITTLE AND PRESS YOUR IMAGE ON IT
<Kaye> welcome back brenda
<StampinTig> i DO THIS A LITTLE AT A TIME TO GET IT ON WELL
<brendab> ty
<StampinTig> IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF PRACTICE AND YOU HAVE TO BE QUICK
<AliciaG> I bet
<cak> Would the little weeny heat gun be better for this?
<brendab> and if it is a round candle
<brendab> it will roll
<StampinTig> I ALSO USE A SCRAP OF TRACING PAPER TO SMOOTH DOWN THE WAX AND IMAGE AS I GO
<StampinTig> YES CAK IT WOULD FOR SURE i BET
<StampinTig> GOOD POINT BRENDA
<StampinTig> WITH PRACTICE YOU CAN WORK WITH A ROUND CANDLE BUT AT FIRST...PROP IT BETWEEN TWO PENCILS OR SOMETHING
<cak> How about putting it in a loaf pan?
<Kaye> great idea
<brendab> oh neat idea
<LindaR> Or try earthquake wax or candle holder wax to temporarily hold it still.
<StampinTig> AS LONG AS THE SIDES DON'T GET IN YOUR WAY AS YOU TRY AND GET THE IMAGE ON THERE
<StampinTig> MAYBE SOMETHING WITH REALLY SHALLOW SIDES
<StampinTig> OR ONE OF THOSE GRIPPER SHELF LINERS
<StampinTig> :-)
<brendab> ty cak
<StampinTig> NEXT COMES THE FUN PART
<StampinTig> YOU CAN ADD BEADS, WIRE, CHARMS, BUTTONS, WHATEVER TO IT
<Lib> ooooooooooooo!!! cool!
<StampinTig> PICK YOUR THINGS TO MATCH YOUR IMAGE AND COLORS
<windy> since i'm lost i'll come back later
<StampinTig> I HAVE DONE BLACK AND WHITE IMAGES (NO COLOR) AND USED GREY AND BLACK BEADS ON A WHITE CANDLE AND THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL
<Kaye> i want one
<StampinTig> WITH FLOWERS, YOU CAN USE LEAF CHARMS OR BEADS, ETC
<Debbie> how do you add the beads and stuff?
<StampinTig> I HAVE TWO TO GIVE AWAY TONIGHT
<brendab> yippie prezzies
<StampinTig> FOR BEADS, I USE WIRE AND THREAD A GROUPING ON AND THEN TWIST A DESIGN INTO THE WIRE TO HOLD THEM ON
<Kaye> gimme gimme gimme
<StampinTig> YOU CAN ALSO MELT CHARMS ONTO THE CANDLE
<StampinTig> THEY REALLY ARE BEAUTIFUL
<brendab> sound gorgeous
<Kaye> i want them all
<Debbie> can't wait to see
<StampinTig> YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN CHOOSING COLORED CANDLES BECAUSE
<StampinTig> THE COLOR MIGHT NOT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND SOME WHITE WAX COULD SHOW WHEN YOU MELT IT
<StampinTig> I MAINLY USE WHITE AND OFF-WHITE AND AM SLOWLY EXPERIMENTING WITH COLOR TO SEE WHICH ONES WILL WORK
<StampinTig> AND I LOVE USING THE SCENTED ONES FROM WALMART
<StampinTig> ANY PERFECTIONISTS IN HERE????
StampinTiger RAISES HAND
<brendab> nope
<Kaye> cheap scented candles
<Kaye> yes
<stampingki> yep
<cindyc> uploading now.....
<Kaye> i am bad
<Lib> I'm so screwuy if I was a prefectionist I would have gone nuts by now
<brendab> i used to be
<StampinTig> IF YOU ARE, DN'T JUDGE YOUR WORK LIKE I DO...I ACTUALLY HATE MY CANDLES LOL BUT I GET MANY COMPLIMENTS SO I KEEP MAKING THEM
<brendab> but am not now
<Kaye> i always hate my stuff
<cak> prolly, but I'm discouraged so I don't count
<StampinTig> CROSS YOU FINGERS FOR THE PICTURES TO UPLOAD RIGHT :-)
<brendab> oh i never like my work
<Kaye> i am trying to be better
<StampinTig> I AM TOO KAYE
<StampinTig> FOR NOW I JUST TAKE OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS AND IGNORE MINE
<WhipprStam> I got booted
<Kaye> probably closer to truth anyway
<Redstick> WB, WhipprStampr
<cindyc> http://www.CindysPortfolio.eboard.com
<StampinTig> MAKE SURE YOU USE A GOOD AMOUNT OF WIRE SO YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO DO YOUR DESIGNS AND TWIST IT ON (BETCHA CAN'T GUESS HOW I KNOW)
<cindyc> first tab (blue) with stamptiger... grin
<Lib> nothing like running short in the middle of work, right? :-)
<cak> thanks cindy
<cindyc> yw
<StampinTig> THANK YOU!!!!
<cindyc> y2

<cindyc> †
<LindaR> I like the embellishment on the Vase candle, works very nicely
<Lib> Gosh, you are so creative to think of this! All you all are so darn creative!!!!
<cindyc> http://www.CindysPortfolio.eboard.com
<StampinTig> I ALWAYS USE A BUTTON, BIG BEAD, CHARM OR A NICE BEAD ARRANGEMENT AS THE FOCAL POINT WITH THE DECORATIONS
<Kaye> brenda did you get booted again
<brenda> yep
<cindyc> http://www.CindysPortfolio.eboard.com
<brenda> those are gorgeous audra
<Kaye> sorry
<Patti> I'm sorry to interupt, where can I see what you are working on? The eboard mentioned
<StampinTig> ON THE BACK AFTER YOU TWIST YOUR WIRE AND CUT OFF THE EXCESS, THE WIRE IS A LITTLE SHARP..I MELT THIS INTO THE CANDLE
<Lib> Cindy- gonna sneak back later and check out your eboard! :-)
<brenda> http://www.CindysPortfolio.eboard.com
<cindyc> the first blue tab
<StampinTig> THANKS BRENDA
<brenda> yw
<StampinTig> I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THESE CATCHING FIRE BUT IF YOU BURN THEM...DON'T LEAVE THEM ALONE AS WITH ANY CANDLE
<StampinTig> AND TRY TO PICK CANDLES THAT BURN DOWN THE MIDDLE
<StampinTig> INSTEAD OF DOWN THE SIDES
<StampinTig> ANY QUESTIONS?
<brenda> nope
<brenda> very good class
<wyorph> Have you tried stamping directly on the candle with Decor-it ink?
<Kaye> great class
<Lib> great class, great idea
<Kaye> love the tips
<AliciaG> thank you so much for all of the great ideas and tips
<Kaye> tips are great
<LindaR> Seems pretty straightforward to me. Can't wait to try it.
<StampinTig> NO I HAVEN'T YET
<brenda> just think Christmas gifts
<StampinTig> BUT LIKE I SAID, PLAY AROUND WITH IT AND YOU WILL COME UP WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT IDEAS
<Kaye> my family will be getting these for christmas
<wyorph> Give it a try with the gold ink sometimg
<wyorph> oops sometime
<StampinTig> FOR GIFTS
<StampinTig> STAMP SOME TISSUE PAPER TO WRAP THEM
<brenda> yes
<Lib> Oo! yeah! With a design that matches the candle!!!!
<StampinTig> SCENTED INK IS A REALLY NICE TOUCH BUT IT ADDS A SOFT AND BEAUTIFUL BACKDROP FOR THEM
<Lib> so smart
<StampinTig> OK...I HAVE TWO CANDLES TO GIVE AWAY
<brenda> memememe
<StampinTig> I WISH I COULD HAVE MADE MORE BUT I JUST DIDN'T HAVE TIME
<brenda> lol
<Debbie> I volunteer
