<Marion> I'm logged in early cuz I am in the middle of something and don't want to miss anything. BRB
<keribou> Mario- class will be short today I think
<madkapkid> I am early...but wanted to try and get in. I keep getting bounced off line...:(
<keribou> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/ggdesigns/SummerConvention/HeathersPostoids.html
<keribou> hi kat
<kat> hi heather, nice samples
<keribou> ty
<keribou> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/ggdesigns/SummerConvention/HeathersPostoids.html
<brenda> gorgeous samples keri
<keribou> ty brenda- you know I love your class samples
<brenda> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/ggdesigns/SummerConvention/HeathersPostoids.html
<brenda> ty
<brenda> but we going to tak about yours
<brenda> they are so neat
<keribou> lol
<keribou> very simple to do
<brenda> i finally learned how to do DTP and so that will make this class better for me
<keribou> brenda- I struggle with dtp and I watched a colorbox mosaics video and it made sense finally
<brenda> really
<brenda> i have never watched any videos
<keribou> yeah- let em get the title
<keribou> I usually don't like videos and this one had some junk but the section with the coorbox stylus was really good
<keribou> Magic Mosaics Unique Stamping Techniques
<brenda> i cant afford them is one reason
<brenda> they are expensive
<brenda> and i figure if i am patient someone will teach it here
<keribou> it is a Colorbox video hosted by Jennifer Obertin of Nature Stamps (I forget the company)
<brenda> k
<keribou> they have a buy 1 get 1 free sale
<madkapkid> rubber nature?
<keribou> it is a stamp company
<madkapkid> Right..
<madkapkid> Rubber nature ...candi obertin
<brenda> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/ggdesigns/SummerConvention/HeathersPostoids.html
<madkapkid> oops..sandi opertin
<keribou> yes- the video was hotsed by the daughter
<keribou> actyually her other daughter is in it too
<keribou> OK- WE'LL GET STARTED IN A FEW MINUTES
<keribou> I EXPECT THIS CLASS TO RUN SHORT- SO YOU'LL HAVE SOME TIME TO SHOP BEFORE THE NEXT CLASS
<keribou> ARE ANY OF YOU FAMILIAR WITH GG DESIGNS RUBBER STAMPS?
<duchess> YES!
<keribou> THEN YOU KNOW CHARLOTTE- THE OWNER HAS SOME REALLY UNIQUE STUFF
<duchess> I have quite a few of her stamps
<duchess> I love the "woodcut" look of them
<keribou> MOST OF HER RUBBER COMES FROM HANDCARVED DESIGNS AND HAS A REALLY UNIQUE LOOK
<keribou> THE REASON WHY I AM TEACHING THIS CLASS IS THAT I BOUGHT THE SOLID POSTOID SET FROM HER AT THE LAST CONVENTION
<brenda> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/ggdesigns/SummerConvention/HeathersPostoids.html
<keribou> AND I LOVE IT
<duchess> Me too!
<keribou> I SENT CHARLOTTE A CARD WITH MY PAYMENT FOR STAMPS AND SHE REALLY LIKED WHAT I DID
<keribou> I SORTS KINDS OFFERED TO TEACH A CLASS FOR HER AND SOMEHOW- I AM TEACHING 3!
<duchess> Lol!
<keribou> DO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT POSTOIDS OR FAUX POSTAGE IS?
<duchess> yes
<keribou> ANYBODY NOT KNOW?
<keribou> WELL SO CAK HAS IT IN THE LOG- FAUX POSTAGE IS THE ART OF MAKING YOUR OWN POSTAGE STAMPS AND DESIGNS
<keribou> THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO THIS AS THEIR HOBBY
<keribou> THEY SPEND HOURS DOING STUFF ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY DO AMAZING STUFF
<keribou> WE AREN'T GONNA DO THAT TODAY
<keribou> LOL
<duchess> lol
<keribou> BUT I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW YOU CAN MAKE SOME POSTOIDS FAST AND EASY
<keribou> MOST OF THE TIME IF YOU BUY A POSTOID FRAME IT IS JUST THAT- A SQUIGGLY STAMP EDGE WITH A RECTANGLE OR SQUARE WHICH IS OPEN IN THE CENTER
<keribou> SO YOU STAMP IT AND YOU EITHER HAVE TO COLOR VERY CAREFULLY OR YOU HAVE TO MASK THE EDGES SO YOU CAN GET COLOR ON THE INSIDE
<keribou> I ALWASY SPENT SO MUCH TIME DOING THAT THAT BY THE TIME IT WAS READY FOR THE DECORATING PART I WAS EITHER BORED OR I HAD SMEARD IT
<keribou> SMEARED
<duchess> lol
<keribou> SO
<keribou> WHEN I SAW THAT GG DESIGNS CAME OUT WITH POSTOID IMAGES THAT HAD A SOLID CENTER- I SAID THIS WAS COOL BECAUSE I DIDN;T HAVE TO MASK- OR AT LEAST NOT AS MUCH
<brenda> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/ggdesigns/SummerConvention/HeathersPostoids.html
<keribou> SO WHEN I STARTED PLANNIGN THIS CLASS I TRIED TO COME UP WITH A BUNCH OF DIRECT TO RUBBER TECHNIQUES TO MAKE POSTOIDS
<keribou> NOW SOME OF YOU WHO HAVE STAMPED FOR A WHILE- THIS MAY BE OLD STUFF- FOR NEWER PEOPLE- THIS MAY GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS
<brenda> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/ggdesigns/SummerConvention/HeathersPostoids.html
<keribou> OH- 1 THING ABOUT POSTOIDS
<keribou> USUALLY PART OF THE FUN IS TO ADD A DENOMINATION (MONEY) AMOUNT AND A NAME OR LOCATION- LIKE A REAT POSTAGE STAMP
<madkapkid> great idea
<keribou> LONG STORY SHORT- ID DID NOT DO THIS ON THE SAMPLE SO YOU COULD SEE THE BACKGROUNDS
<keribou> BUT YOU CAN EASILY WRITE THEM WITH A PEN- STAMP WITH MINI ALPHABET SET
<keribou> THE POSTOID SETS COME WITH 2 SIZES OF NUMBERS
<keribou> BUT WE CAN IMAGINE
<keribou> WOW- Y'ALL ARE QUIET
<keribou> HOW ABOUT A PRIZE?
<brenda> we are listening
<brenda> yessssss
<brenda> prezzies
<madkapkid> :)
<duchess> I have the set and it's really a useful
<Susie> yeah.
<keribou> OK- FIRST ANSWER ON MY SCREEN WINS
<Susie> So the set has numbers? Was trying to find it AND pay attention!
<keribou> WHAT IS THE GG DESIGNS SPECIAL FOR TODAY?
<kat> postoids
<duchess> template for cancellation
<keribou> OH- AND THE WINNER WILL GET A UM FROM GG
<keribou> OK- KAT- YOU WIN
<kat> and I give my prize to the first newbie who says me
<keribou> SEND AN E-MAIL TO ggdrbr1@aol.com AND TELL CHARLOTTE YOU WON A PRIZE IN THE POSTAL CLASS
<madkapkid> who says me?
<keribou> OK- MADKAPKID
<keribou> YOU WIN A UM FROM GG DESIGNS
<madkapkid> LOL :)
<keribou> SEND CHARLOTTE AN E-MAIL AND TELL HER YOU WERE IN MY CLASS
<kat> wtg madkapkid
<keribou> OK
<keribou> ONE OF THE THINGS I DID WITH THE POSTOID STAMPS WAS TO SUE THE KISS TECHNIQUE
<brenda> kiss?
<keribou> WHAT YOU DO IS INK THE STAMP WITH PIGMENT INK
<keribou> THEN TAKE A CLEAN, UNINKED STAMP AND KISS THE INKED STAMP
<keribou> IT REMOVES SOME INK
<duchess> that's cool!
<keribou> AND THEN YOU STAMP THE ORIGINAL STAMP
<keribou> THAT SI THE LAST SAMPLE ON THE PAGE
<Susie> Has to be pigment? I assume Brilliance works too?
<keribou> BRILLIANCE PROBABLY WORKS TOO- BUT MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T DRY
<keribou> SO WORK QUICK
<brenda> wow neato
<Susie> yeah, you have a little while with Brilliance, but I wouldn't walk away or start to hunt down the stamp after inking LOL
<brenda> love that idea
<keribou> THE ACTUAL SAMPLE HAS A LITTLE MORE CONTRAST BUT IT IS QUICK AND SIMPLE
<Susie> I am always doing taht by accident with my fingers - LOL!
<keribou> THE TEXTURE PIECES I USED ARE FROM A SET OF STARS FROM GG DESIGN
<keribou> AND THE STARS COME WITH 6 TEXTURED DIAMONDS
<duchess> WOW! Those are neat too!!!
<keribou> THERE IS A LINK- I'LL PASTE IT LATER IF YOU WANT
<madkapkid> yes, please
<Marion> please
<keribou> SO- ON TOP OF THAT BASIC KISS BACKGROUND- YOU CAN EASILY STAMP SOMETHING ELSE FOR MORE CONTRAST
<duchess> I like that idea!
<keribou> OR IF YOU GOT FANCY YOU COULD USE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT COLORED INKS ON THE STAMP THEN KISS
<brenda> oh neat
<brenda> keri you always have intersting twists
<keribou> TY
<keribou> OK- I'LL DO THE PAGE BACKWARD
<brendafk> got to go to vbs
<brendafk> be back later
<keribou> NEXT SAMPLES UP
<keribou> BYE BRENDA
<brendafk> byeeee
<madkapkid> bye brenda
<keribou> WERE A SERIES OF PURPLE AND GREEN STUFF
<keribou> I WAS PLAYING ONE DAY AND THEY REALLY DON'T GO TOGETHER BUT... I LIKED THE COLORS SO...
<keribou> I WENT WITH IT
<keribou> THERE IS ONE ON THERE THAT DIDN'T SHOW VERY WELL
<keribou> I USED SHADOW INK
<keribou> AND IT IS FAINT
<crowfafk> is there a website, jean the late
<keribou> BUT IF YOU HAVE THOSE SHADOW INKS IN THE LITTLE CUBES- THEY ARE GREAT TO APPLY TO THE IMAGES THEN
<keribou> USE A MARKER TO COLOR IN THE POSTAL EDGE
<Susie> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/ggdesigns/SummerConvention/HeathersPostoids.html
<keribou> TY
<crowfafk> thx
<keribou> OH- I LEARNED SOEMTHING ABOUT SHADOW INK
<keribou> IF YOU STAMP ONCE YOU GET THE COLOR
<keribou> IF YOU STAMP OVER IT WITH AN INKED STAMP- USING THE SAME COLOR
<keribou> YOUR IMAGES IS JUST A SHADE DARKER
<keribou> SO VERY SUBTLE
<keribou> BUT PRETTY
<Susie> Ooh. Cool! I have most of the shadow inks, too cool.
<duchess> Neer tried that! sounds neat
<keribou> I WAS GOING NUTS TRYING TO MATCH INKS- NOT KNOWING YOU COULD DO THIS
<keribou> SO IT WASS NEWS TO ME
<Susie> yeah, I was trying to match too.
<keribou> OK- SO SOME OF THE OTHER POSTOIDS- I USED PUNCHES- I PUNCHED OUT OF METALLIC PAPER
<keribou> AND APPLIED
<keribou> OR YOU CAN PUNCH OUT OF YOUR POSTOID- TO MAKE A WINDOW
<keribou> AND USE CS OR SOMETHING BEHIND FOR A DIFFERENT LOO
<keribou> I MADE A CARD USING PINK AND BLUE AND PUNCHED FEET OUT OF THE POSTOIDS AND MOUNTED IT ALL ON YELLO CS
<keribou> OK- WAKE UP- ANOTHER PRIZE
<Susie> ok
<keribou> FIRST ONE ON MY SCREEN GETS A FREE UN FROM GG
<Marion> I'm ready
<keribou> OK
<Marion> me
<keribou> BESIDES POSTOIDS- NAME ONE OF THE IMAGES I USED IN MY SAMPLES- AN ALL STAMPS I USED TO CLASS WERE FROM GG DESIGNS
<crowfafk> watering can
<keribou> OK
<manybooks> star set?
<keribou> CROWFEATHER- SEND A NOTE TO GG DESIGNS AND TELL EHR YOU WERE IN POSTAL CLASS
<keribou> ggdrbr1@aol.com
<kat> wtg crowfeather
<Marion> Watering can
<keribou> OK
<crowfafk> ohmygosh!! thx keribou!! I made it here just in time, although I do wanna ask, is there a transcript of the class, I missed the first 20 minutes or so.
<keribou> CAK WILL HAVE THE LOG LATER THIS WEEK
<crowfafk> great, thanks!
<keribou> OK- ANOTHER THING YOU CAN USE THESE STAMPS FOR IS SHADOW STAMPS
<Marion> What is the easiest way to get the transcripts.
<Marion> I'm new at this and having a ball.
<keribou> THERE IS A LINK ON THE CYBERSTAMPERS WEBSITE FOR CLASS UNEDITED CLASS LOGS
<keribou> OK
<Marion> TY
<keribou> YOU CAN ALWASY JUST USE THEM AS A PLAIN BACKGROUND TOO- LIKE IN THE WATERING CAN SAMPLE
<keribou> IF YOU WERE REALLY INTO IT YOU COULD MAKE EACH IMAGE INTO A FAUX STAMP
<keribou> I AM STILL TRYING FOR THE STARS URL
<keribou> WHEN I CUT OUT MY POSTOIDS I USED FISKARS EDGARS WHICH HAVE A POSTAGE STAMP EDGE
<keribou> EASY WAY TO KEEP WITH A POSTAL THEME
<keribou> YOU CAN STAMP ON STICKER PAPER TOO- THEN ADHERE THEM TO YOUR ENVELOPES OR CARDS
<keribou> BOXES
<keribou> ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE ALSO PLAYED WITH IS USING BLOW PENS
<keribou> HAVE ANY OF OU EVERY PLAYED WITH BLOW PENS? OR STOLEN THEM FROM YOUR KIDS OR GRANDKIDS?
<Seesa> What are they?
<duchess> Yes!
<madkapkid> yes
<keribou> THEY ARE MARKERS AND YOU BLOW ON ONE END OF THEM AND THEY SLATTER INK LIKE AN AIRBRUSH
<keribou> VERY FUN IF NOT MESSY
<Seesa> ohh sounds like fun
<rabbitsmom> I have the old version with the pump
<madkapkid> I have that too rabbit...IT works well too
<keribou> OR A BLITZER
<rabbitsmom> great with food color pens on cakes too
<keribou> EXACTLY
<madkapkid> yep....thats what its called...blitzer
<keribou> THE 3RD SAMPLE DOWN WITH THE BUTTERFLY IMAGES ON IT- I APPLIED THE BLOWPEN TO THE STAMP
<rabbitsmom> It's better than the new ones cause you can use any marker
<keribou> BEFORE I STAMPED
<keribou> THE BUTTERFLY IMAGES ARE PRETTY TOO- SHE HAS THE FRAMED VERSION OR THE SAME INAGE WITHOUT THE RECTANGULAR FRAME
<keribou> WHICH SORTS LOOK LIKE A POSTOID- MAYBE?
<keribou> HEY- HOW ABOUT ANOTHER PRIZE BEFORE WE WRAP UP?
<Marion> Ready
<keribou> GOTTA THINK OF A QUESTION
<madkapkid> :)
