<Legs> oh, even better

<Legs> and questions?

<Evo> http://www.evolving-images.com/evothangs.htm

<Legs> ty

<LindaR> I love the lighthouse card.

<taxmax> oohhps - just discovered> thangs are templates in small?

<AmyLPR> how big are the thangs?

<inkylin> ok I admit I have them but am not sure how to use them

<Evo> I WANTED YOU ALL TO SEE THE CARDSAMPLES...

<Evo> THANGS ARE LITTLE THANGS, TAX

<taxmax> and what are big thangs? Templates?

<Evo> THIS IS A DISCUSSION AND QUESTION SESSION ABOUT ALL THE EVOTEMPLATES

<taxmax> okay

<AmyLPR> how big are the thangs?

<Evo> LOL... I FORGOT HOW TO PASTE THE URL

<Vyx> I love the curvy thangs!

<cak> http://www.evolving-images.com/evothangs.htm

<Evo> SPARKLE?

<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...

<Legs> yas?

<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...

<inkylin> thank you Evo and Cevo
