<Vyx> http://www.evolving-images.com/evothangs.htm
<Evo> THANKS... TELL ME AGAIN HOW TO PASTE?
<Vyx> Me and CAK can do it, Evo. :)
<keribou> contil +v
<C_Lion> CONTROL v
<Evo> http://www.evolving-images.com/evothangs.htm
<keribou> control + v
<Vyx> crtl v
<Evo> FOUND IT! :}>
<phyl> what is the size on the other thangs evo?
<Evo> ON THIS PAGE... I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT DARLA'S QUADRUPLE SPOTLIGHTING
<Evo> THE SPOTLIGHT CARD WAS ORIGINATED BY JULIE GOODWIN...
<inkylin> they are gorgeous
<Evo> AND DARLA TOOK IT A COUPLE OF STEPS FURTHER.
<Evo> SHE USED THE GRADUATE CURVY-THANGS...
<Evo> CAN YOU SEE THAT?
<inkylin> yup
<Kari1960> I've done spotlighing, but not to that degree, very nice
<Evo> AND THEN CEVO CAME IN TO WORK ONE MORNING AND ASKED ME HOW MUCH I LOVE HER
<cak> lol uh oh
<Evo> THEN SHE SHOWED ME HER LIGHTHOUSE CARD THAT TOOK DARLA'S IDEA ANOTHER STEP...
<Evo> OFFSETTING THE GRADUATED LAYERS
<inkylin> so when you use the templates, do you trace first then cut or can you cut with your xacto right against the template?
<Vyx> that's a GREAT card
<Evo> I LUV THESE CARDS!
<Evo> CUT RIGHT UP AGAINST THE TEMPLATE, INKYLIN...
<inkylin> thanks
<Legs> that's what I wanna know
<AmyLPR> how big are the thangs?
<Evo> I HOLD MY BLADE STRAIGHT UP... SLAP THE SIDE OF THE BLADE AGAINST THE TEMPLATE
<Legs> and you can't nick the plastic?
<Evo> THAT WAY YOU CAN'T GO WRONG
<cak> usually when I ask that it's 'cause I did something not-so-good. Not in this case though--they're fabulous
<Legs> do you use a cutting mat or just cut on glass?
<Evo> THE THANGS ALL START AT 2", THEN GRADUATED 1.75" , 1.5" AND 1.25 "
<phyl> oh how cute
<Vyx> First couple tries I nicked my templates. I learned real quick how to hold that blade. :)
<AmyLPR> thx
<Evo> IT'S EASIER TO NICK THE THANGS... THAN THE EVOTEMPLATES WHICH ARE THICKER
<Evo> IS EVERYONE ON THE WEB PAGE?
<phyl> yes
<inkylin> I am
<Vyx> Yes Ma'am!
<cak> I am!
<LindaR> yup
<Evo> ANYONE DOESN'T HAVE THE ADDY?
<Kari1960> yes
<Evo> OK...
<Vyx> http://www.evolving-images.com/evothangs.htm
<Legs> so, cutting mat or glass?
<Evo> I USE A CUTTING MAT...
<Legs> ok, ty
<Evo> TRIPLE PLY AND LUV IT BUT GLASS WORKS, TOO.
<cak> Evo, do you still carry the Leaf-its? and do you use them on the back of your templates? (I keep thinking you do)
[the logger was dropped momentarily here]
<Vyx> Little sticky dots make it so the templates and stuff doesn't slide all over the place.
<phyl> one in each corner?
<inkylin> is there a certain place on a template where the leaf-its work the best?
<Legs> how do you use a stamp positioner with the templates and why would you need to?
<Evo> SMALL 1/4" CIRCLES THAT GIVE TRACTION ...
<Legs> circles of what?
<Legs> rubber?
<Legs> plastic?
<Evo> I PUT 1 CIRLE LEAF IT AT THE TOP AND ONE AT THE BOTTOM
<Vyx> Lea, I don't use em together... but the first time I tried the stamp positioner it slipped and messed me up.
<Legs> oh
<phyl> that's all evo?
<inkylin> thanks Evo
<Evo> RUBBERY STUFF... VERY SMOOTH AND THIN
<Legs> <trying to envision all this>
<phyl> neat
<Kanga> are they re-usable or disposable?
<Legs> so, you put that on the back of a template and then it's easier to cut around because it's not sliding around?
<Vyx> They last for a long time... and a box has a gazillion in it.
<Evo> THE LEAF-ITS WERE DESIGNED FOR THE TIPS OF YOUR FINGERS
<Vyx> Yep, persactly Lea!
<Kanga> ty
<Evo> TO GIVE TRACTION WHEN FILING PAPERS OR COUNTING YOUR PILES OF MONEY ;]>
<Evo> 60 LEAF-ITS IN A BOX
<Evo> 1 BOX WILL DO 30 TEMPLATES
<Legs> you could put a few on the metal part of your brayer to keep it from rolling
<Vyx> Hiya Cevo, Sharo, Enchyo
<enchy> hi0
<Sharo> hey
<Legs> enchy!
<Evo> HEYYYYY, ALL...
<phyl> good idea lea
<enchy> hellooooo legs
<Legs> ty
<Legs> <smooch!>
<cevo> Hi
<enchy> hi cevo darlin'
<inkylin> hi Cevo
<Evo> http://www.evolving-images.com/evothangs.htm
<phyl> hi cevo honey
<Evo> HERE'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, FOLKS...
<cevo> (sorry I'm late)
<enchy> MORE?
<enchy> you have MORE?
<cak> Ms. Cevo, may I tell how lovely your spotlight cards are? Very dramatic!
<enchy> where am i suppose to fit these on the table??
<AmyLPR> lol
<Evo> NEW OTHER-THANGS JOINING THE MINI'S AND CURVEY'S
<Evo> LOL, ENCHY
<enchy> sigh
<phyl> dosen't evo have a holder for her templates?
<Evo> ENCHY TOLD ME THE LAST TIME SHE US HELPED AT A CONVENTION...
<Evo> THAT WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO ADD ANY MORE "STUFF"
<cak> I'm so glad you didn't pay any attention to her
<Vyx> Cuz we want it all, Evo, and no room for it.
<Evo> OK... LOOKING AT CEVO'S FROGGIE AGAIN... DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND LIFTED LAYERING?
<phyl> no
<inkylin> sort of
<taxmax> no
<Kanga> no
<phyl> pop dots?
<labelle> uh, not me
<Evo> I THOUGHT I SAW YOU ASK THAT QUESTION, PHYL
<phyl> yup
<Vyx> I do. I can't do it very good, but I understand how.
<phyl> i am to old to lift layers
<Evo> LIFTED LAYERING IS SIMPLY CUTTING SECTIONS OUT OF YOUR MAIN CARD AND GETTING RID OF THEM
<phyl> i can do that
<Evo> SO YOU CAN SEE THE BOTTOM LAYER OF CARDSTOCK THROUGH THE OPEN PLACES
<taxmax> perfect - I like to get rid of things - help cleaning
<cevo> But keeping them for another project {:-)
<phyl> oh cutting out parts of the stamp imate
<taxmax> darn
<phyl> i see now
<phyl> image not imate
<inkylin> so how can you just cut through 1 layer without cutting the layer underneath it?
<phyl> my sex life is no ones business sorry
<taxmax> kind of framing?
<Kanga> lol
<Evo> CEVO'S CARD LOOKS LIKE 5 LAYERS OF CARDSTOCK BUT IS REALLY ONLY TWO PIECES
<cevo> yep,only 2
<Evo> YOU SAVE LOTS OF CARDSTOCK THAT WAY :}>
<Legs> how do you like to stick 'em down?
<taxmax> and lots of glue
<Evo> I USE 2 IN 1 GLUE PEN, LEGS
<cevo> glue markers are great
<cevo> and easy
<inkylin> are there instructions on the website Evo?
<Evo> LET IT DRY TO A TACK? THEN YOU CAN PLACE YOUR LAYERS TIL YOU GET THEM RIGHT AND THEN APPLY MORE GLUE FOR PERMANENT
<Evo> HANG ON, INKY...
<Kari1960> I wonder could you use the xyron and cut before you peal???, maybe?
<Legs> it's hard to cut the Xyroned stuff cos the release paper is so slick
<cak> I didn't know that
<Evo> http://www.evolving-images.com/liftedlayering.htm shows the Lifted Layering
<Kari1960> Oh, I guess so
<cak> (learn something new all the time)
<Evo> PROBABLY, KARI
<Kari1960> you know what they say about learning...if you aren't learning then you might be dead
<Legs> unless you used those leaf-it things maybe...would they stick to the Xyron release paper?
<inkylin> thanks Evo I got them
<Legs> might be???
<Evo> BY THE WAY...

<phyl> men are such slobs
<cak> (now *here's* the uh oh place)
<Kari1960> ohoh...bad mr e
<Vyx> So, it looks perfect to me... What did he do to it?
<Evo> TWO HUGE GREASY PRINTS ON BACK AND FRONT OF ONE CORNER
<phyl> and how did cevo fix that?
<Evo> SOOOO
<MomCat> cut off the corners?
<cevo> I used the rect/hex to cut the corners out! {:-)
<taxmax> that's why she decided for the lifted layering
<phyl> smart cevo good girl
<Evo> SHE TOOK THE CARD SIZE NESTLING/RECTANGLE TEMPLATE... YES!
<cevo> Nope,woring, the rect/octagons
<taxmax> before it was a flat card?
<Evo> AND CUT OFF THE CORNERS :}>
<Evo> IT WAS RECTANGULAR
<inkylin> and now we know the whole story......
<phyl> looks very nice this way
<Vyx> Ah, before it was solid blue, now it has the corners cut offa the dark?
<Evo> NOW IT RECTANGULAR/OCTAGON
<Kari1960> Well it worked and looks lovely
<taxmax> and now it is ???? How do you call the shape?
<cevo> Thank you. *Blushing"
<inkylin> artwork
<phyl> genius is the mother of invention
<Vyx> Wonderful cards, Cevo. I like yours better than the others actually...
cevo thanks Mr Evo
<Evo> AN OCTAGON WHICH FITS A 5.5" X 4.25" CARD
<Evo> WHO EARLIER SAID THEY HAVE SOME TEMPLATES BUT HAVEN'T USED THEM YET?
<Kari1960> Oh, it 'twas ment to be
<inkylin> me me
<Vyx> Cuz yours look like something I could actually do.
<anno> I didn't say so, but the description fits..
<Evo> OK, INKYLIN... CAN YOU SAY WHY YOU HAVEN'T?
<cevo> you're sooo sweet vyx!
<Evo> SCAREDY CAT?
<inkylin> I wasn't sure just how to use them, didn't think you could cut using the template
<phyl> lol
<Evo> UNSURE WHAT TO DO?
<taxmax> ooohps - now I am with you - kept looking at the frog card - but the other one is really great. Even better with cut off edges
<Kanga> got to go to book club. late, late bye
<Vyx> It does help to see a demo of how to use them. Make a little movie, Evo, to put on your web page. :)
<phyl> bye kanga
<Evo> YES... YOU CAN ALSO USE YOUR FANCY EDGED SCISSORS AROUND THEM... GET PERFECT SHAPES EVERYTIME AND WON'T HURT THE TEMPLATE
<anno> ?
<phyl> do you use the sticky dots on the minis evo?
<anno> what you do, glue it to the paper first?
<inkylin> ever try cutting with those darn fancy scissors left handed?
<labelle> how do you hold everything when you cut with the special scissors?
<Evo> ONE ONLY ON THE MINIS, PHYL
<phyl> thanks
<anno> sticky dots..
<anno> got it.
<Evo> WITH THE FANCY EDGE SCISSORS, ANNO?
<Vyx> Yeah... how do you hold it all together?
<anno> I can't cut.
<anno> that's my whole problem.
<anno> I'm fancy scissors and xacto impaired.
<phyl> removable tape?
<Vyx> I got the oval templates JUST for cutting around with fancy scissors... and heh.
<Evo> I HOLD THE TEMPLATE ON THE PAPER WITH MY LEFT HAND... IN THE AIR... THEN TRIM THAT WAY.
<taxmax> lol - trimming in the air
<phyl> singing in the rain
<taxmax> yep
<MomCat> I use a little bit of poster tape to keep it from sliding around in my left hand
<Vyx> Well, that makes sense...
<C_Lion> Evo, can you put the temporary glue (like post it notes have) on them for better hold with scissors?
<Evo> YOU JUST KEEP TURNING THE TEMPLATE... LETTING THE EDGE OF THE BLADES TOUCH THE TEMPLATE AS YOU TURN
<cevo> It's really easier than it sounds
<Vyx> I will try some poster tape... it wants to slip all over the place.
<Evo> YOU CAN, C, BUT THAT STUFF DOESN'T CLEAN OFF EASILY
<Evo> I WOULDN'T DO IT.
<C_Lion> k
<phyl> scotch has double sided removable tape that works great
<Evo> YES... THE DOUBLE SIDED REMOVABLE TAPE WOULD HELP
<Evo> IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM KEEPING IT IN ONE PLATE
<Evo> PLACE
<MomCat> Evo, on the Mini Thangs and the other thangs - those are two different shapes of triangles?
<Evo> wE'RE OUT OF TIME...
