<cindyc> hi keri
<Keribou> http://photos.yahoo.com/boos_1@sbcglobal.net
<Monica> Cindy, how is your daughter doing?
<Keribou> Album is Round-up
<cindyc> she is doing good monica, ty
<cindyc> amazingly good!
<Keribou> Good
<Monica> glad to hear that
<cindyc> still hurting of course, but no surgery needed
<Keribou> that is good news
<cindyc> i am so thankful
<cak> (gabi, if you click on the url a new browser window should open with site
<Gabi> just took a look at the album
<Monica> Molly sure did a good job of emptying her dresser
<cindyc> http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/boos_1@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Round+up&.src=ph&.order=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/
<cindyc> wow long url..no wonder you sent em to the opening page...lol
<Keribou> and Cindy- some people could not open it last time
<Keribou> but with the short url they can
<cindyc> right ok
<cak> (molly is keribou's toddler--very adventuresome)
<Keribou> oh yes
<Keribou> I wanted people to see what she did in the middle of the last class
<Keribou> ok
<Keribou> SHALL WE GET STARTED?
<Monica> yes
<Keribou> OK
<verbstamp> is this a repeat class?
<Keribou> ALL OF THE DIECUTS I USED FOR THE CLASS ARE FROM DEBBIE'S DIECUTS
<Keribou> YES VERB IT IS
<verbstamp> ok, thanks
<verbstamp> I may duck out early....
<Keribou> ALL OF THE STAMPS USED ARE FROM INNOVATIVE STAMP CREATIONS ALSO KNOWN AS ISC
<Keribou> ISC IS NOT A CONVENTION SPONSOR BUT THEY ARE IN THE MALL
<Keribou> OK SO THE FIRST PICTURE IS OF VERIOUS HAND DIECUTS
<cindyc> isc is a terrific store! i love their stamps and ephemera
<Keribou> YES AND THE SHIPPING IS ONLY $1.99 PER ORDER
<Keribou> OK SO ON THE HANDS I USED DIRECT TO PAPER TECHNIQUES AND COLORBOX PETAL POINTS PADS
<Keribou> YOU CAN GET VERIOUS TECHNIQUES DEPENDING ON HOW YOU USE THE PETALS- THE TIPS VS THE EDGES VS THE ROUNDED PART
<Keribou> OR COMBINE THEM ALL IN ONE PIECE
<Keribou> THE ASIAN IN THE UPPER RIGHT IS THE TIPS
<Keribou> THE PLANTS N THE LOWER RIGHT THE EDGES/ SIDES
<Keribou> PEARS IN THE CENTER AND GREEK IN THE LOWER LEFT MORE TRADITIONAL DRAGGING
<Keribou> I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO BIND THIS INTO A BOOK YET BUT I THOUGHT THE PAGES WERE FUN SO I USED IT FOR MY CLASS
<Keribou> OK READY FOR #2?
<Monica> y
<cindyc> y
<Keribou> OK THE FRAME
<Gabi> me 2
<cindyc> lol gabi
<Keribou> I PAINTED IT WITH LUMIERE PAINT, LET IT DRY THEN STAMPED THE DRAGONFLY DEFINITION IMAGE WITH GOLD BRILLIANCE INK
<Gabi> Im learnin
<Keribou> I'M SORRY IT IS HARD TO SEE IN THE SCAN
<cindyc> that was neat keri, doing the definition and punching out!
<Keribou> TY
<Monica> is the frame from Debbie?
<Keribou> THEN ON THE DIECUT OF THE DRAGONFLY- I DID DTP WITH SHADOW INK- A PALE LILAC AND A GREEN AND IT DOESN'T SHOW IN THE SCAN
<Keribou> BUT IT IS SUBTLE
<Keribou> YES THE FRAME AND DRAGONFLY DIECUT ARE FROM DEBBIE
<Monica> ty
<Keribou> THE FRAMES ARE MADE OF MATTE BOARD AND ARE STURDY AND HANDLE PAINTS AND STUFF VERY WELL
<cindyc> http://cyberstampers.com/convention/diecutsbydebbie/
<Keribou> THEN I STAMPED THE DEFINITION ONTO THE DRAGONFLY
<Keribou> AND HEATHER HAD A LOT OF BLANK AREAS ON THAT DRAGONFLY SO SHE STAMPED THE DEFINITION A FEW TIMES TO "FILL IN"
<Keribou> I REALLY LIKE THE DRAGONFLY AND THE HAND DIE CUTS- I THINK THOSE ARE MY FAVORITES
<Keribou> OK- READY FOR #3?
<cak> Keri, the paint coverage isn't solid, is it? It looks like it has a lot of variance. How did you do that?
<cindyc> yea
<Monica> y
<cindyc> neato
<Keribou> CAK- I USED PURPLE LUMIERE AND HGHLIGHT BLUE GOLD LUMIERE AND SMEARED IT AROUND
<cak> with a sponge or brush? (or whatever?)
<Keribou> THE HIGHLIGHT BLUE GOLD IS NEAT BECUASE IT IS LIKE 3 COLORS IN 1- GOLD AND GREEN AND SOME BLUE
<Keribou> I USED A COSMETIC SPONGE AND SPONGED IT ON
<cak> (I just love those types of colors) cool, thanks
<Monica> on #2?
<Keribou> AND I AM VERY UNEVEN- SOME PLACES MORE HEAVY HANDED WITH THE PAINT
<Keribou> YES MONICA- #2
<Monica> ty
<Keribou> I LOVE LUMIERE PAINT
<cak> that's what I love about that paint job, it's got a lot of dimension
<Keribou> THANKS CAK
<Keribou> I DRIVE MYSELF NUTS TRYING TO BE PERFECT SO I HAVE LEARNED TO GO MORE HAPHAZARDLY
<Keribou> SOMETIMES IT DOES GIVE MORE DEPTH
<Keribou> OK- #3?
<cak> You need to teach a class on that--I sure could use lessons
<Monica> that is nice, probably easier than it looks
<cak> #3!
<Keribou> OK- GOOD IDEA FOR A FUTURE CLASS- I'LL WRITE THAT DOWN CAK
<Monica> me, too, cak
<Monica> I recently got a starter pack and haven't been pleased with my practice pieces yet
<Keribou> WHAT KIND OF STARTER PACK?
<Keribou> OF LUMIERES?
<Monica> lumieres
<Keribou> OK #3
<Keribou> IS A MEMORY BOOK DIECUT
<Keribou> THE CIRCLE IS PRE-CUT- YAHOO
<Monica> this is my favorite piece
<Keribou> AND DEBBIE WILL SEND YOU THE COVER (WHICH YOU FOLD YOURSELF), AN INNER PAGE AND THE CIRLE THAT IS CUT OUT
<Keribou> IF YOU WERE REALLY CLEVER YOU COULD INCORPORATE THE CUT OUT CIRCLE INTO THE BOOK
<Keribou> BUT THAT JUST OCCURRED TO ME
<Keribou> :)
<Monica> I assume they are white (?) and Debbie just used green to show up in the scan
<Keribou> SHE CAN CUT VARIOUS COLORS
<Keribou> THSI BOOK IS AN OFF WHITE
<Monica> oh, that's nice
<Keribou> SHE SENT ME BLUE, GREEN, BROWN, EARTH TONES
<cindyc> http://cyberstampers.com/convention/diecutsbydebbie/
<Keribou> THE BACKGROUND IS STAMPED WITH VARIOUS COLORS OF DYE INK- MARVY MATCHABLES- STAMPED WITH TEXTURES PENSCORE (AKA MAGIC STAMP)
<Keribou> WHAT IS NICE ABOUT PENSCORE IS THAT IF YOU MISS STAMP (OR GET A BLANK AREA) IT JUST ADDS TO THE TEXTURE YOU ARE CREATING
<Keribou> THEN I STAMPED THE VARIOUS ISC IMAGES AROUND THE COVER
<Keribou> IN DYE INK
<Keribou> PRETTY SIMPLE
<Keribou> YOU COULD EASILY MAKE THIS INTO A THEME BOOK LIKE A BABY BOOK
<verbstamp> that sounds like "Oh that's not a mistake, I MEANT to do that!" LOL, just my style!
<Monica> lol
<Keribou> BY ADDIGN THE BABY'S PICTURE INTO THE FRAME AND STAMPING APPROPRIATE IMAGES AROUND IT
<Keribou> YOU GOT IT VERB!
<cindyc> good thinking
<Keribou> I MISSED A PLACE IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER BUT REALLY LIKED HOW IT LOOKED SO I WENT OVER IT WITH ANOTHER PIECE OF PENSCORE AND IT WAS FINE
<cindyc> or the open area could be a fish bowl with stamp images within
<cindyc> or a porthole
<Keribou> GREAT IDEA CINDY
<Keribou> OR A MIRROR WITH COSMETICS STAMPED AROUND IT
<cindyc> snow whites magic mirror
<cindyc> the possibilities are endless!
<Keribou> THSI IS A VERY VERSATILE DIE CUT
<Monica> yes, I'm getting a lot of ideas for this
<Monica> what does afk mean?
<Keribou> DEBBIE BINDS THE BOOKS WITH STITCHING
<Keribou> AWAY FROM KEYBOARD
<cak> Keri, is the cut out the right size to put one of those half-dome ornaments through (I could see a 3D scene in one)
<Keribou> CAK- I'M NOT SURE
<Keribou> BUT I COULD SEE DANGLING A PUNCHED SHAPE IN THE ROUND WINDOW
* verb-afk is going to be brewing a pot of coffee for a few minutes--brb
<cak> Oh yeah! Good idea
<cindyc> cool
<verb-afk> Monica, we sometimes indicate when we'll be "AFK" so people don't get frustrated by asking us questions and not getting any reply...
<Keribou> YOU COULD STAPLE IT WITH A COLORED STAPLE TO BIND IT TOO- IF YOU WERE IN A RUSH
<Monica> ty
<cak> and you could even add fibers around the staple too
<Keribou> GREAT IDEA CAK
<Keribou> THIS MAKES A REALLY FAST, YET IMPRESSIVE PROJECT
<cak> (gotta find a use for *some* of this stuff)
<Keribou> THINK OF YOUR FIRENDS SAYING "OH HOW DID YOU CUT THIS?"
<Gabi> Is Penscore the rubberthingy you heat and push something into it?
<Keribou> AND YOU SMILE
<Keribou> YES GABI
<Gabi> ty
<cak> Do you have that available in Germany Gabi?
<Gabi> yes
<cindyc> it is such fun
<Gabi> but lumiere is hard to find
<Keribou> YOU CAN DO LOTS WITH PENCORE- USE IT AS A SHADOW STAMP, MAKE A STAMP WITH IT, MAKE A TEXTURE BACKGROUND WITH IT- LOTS OF STUFF i LOVE IT
<cak> You should ask Janet to bring some with her when she goes to Germany next (if you're interested inthem)
<Gabi> sure, who is Janet?
<Gabi> I'm very new to all of this
<cak> lol--sorry, forgot you were new! She's the creator of all of this--
<Monica> and a really funny lady
<cak> she regularly travels to Europe and is willing to bring stuff that is hard to find there
<Gabi> no problemo, got a mouth to ask
<Gabi> how can i get in touch with her?
<cak> (she'll be teaching tonight at 10 Eastern US time)
<Gabi> Im sorry, i am interruptin the class
<Keribou> GABI THAT IS OK
<cak> sorry Keri--gotta keep our stampers supplied
<Keribou> WE ARE ALMOST DONE
<Monica> no problem, Gabi
<Keribou> OK SHALL WE GO ON TO #4?
<Gabi> this is very interresting
<cindyc> ready
<Monica> this forum is a great place to get new ideas and techniques
<Keribou> OK #4 IS ANOTHER MEMORY BOOK
<Monica> ready
<Gabi> yup
<Keribou> THIS TIME I STAMPED THE IMAGES WITH RESIST INK- RANGER MAKES IT- IT WILL ALSO WRK WITH EMBOSSING INK OR VERSAMARK INK
<Keribou> I HETS SET IT TO DRY IT
<Keribou> THEN RUBBED ON DECORATOR CHALKS
<Keribou> THOSE ARE THE LITTLE SQUARES OF CHALK THAT YOU CAN GET AT A CRAFT STORE
<Keribou> VERY SOFT LOOK
<Monica> ok, here's where you lost me
<Monica> I though decorator chalks needed something moist to stick to
<Keribou> NO
<Keribou> I DID HAVE TO SEAL IT WHEN I WAS DONE
<Keribou> BUT THE CHALKS WORK GREAT WITH THIS TECHNIQUE
<Monica> but it looks like it just stuck to where the resist ink is
<Keribou> THEY SHOW UP DARKER WHERE THE INK IS SO THE IMAGE SHOWS
<cindyc> these are they are the powder chalks not the powder(s) in jars
<Monica> ah, ok
<Keribou> CINDY- YES JUST THE CHEAPO DECORATOR SQUARE CHALKS
<Keribou> EASY TECHNIQUE
<Keribou> VERY SOFT
<Monica> I really like that look
<cindyc> i really love chalks
<cak> Or old eye shadow would work, I bet
<cindyc> they do
<Monica> I'll have to try that this afternoon
<Keribou> PROBABLY CAK
<cindyc> non oily types preferred
<Keribou> I SEALED IT WITH WORKABLE FIXATIVE BUT I HAVE USED CLEAR KRYLON SPRAY ALSO TO SEAL
* Keribou DOESN'T WEAR EYESHADOW- SO I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO THE EXPERTS
<cindyc> i don't anymore
<Keribou> INSIDE THE CIRCLE IS A PIECE OF GLOSSY PAPER WITH POLISHED STONE BACKGROUND
<Keribou> THEN I STAMPED AND EMBOSSED THE BUTTERFLY WITH SPARKLY EMBOSSING POWDER
<Keribou> THREW ON A PIECE OF RIBBON AND A FEW BEADS
<Keribou> I COULD SEE USING THE CHALK TECHNIQUE ON A BABY'S MEMORY BOOK- AND USING BABY PASTEL COLORS
<Keribou> OK READY FOR #5?
<Monica> yes
<cindyc> course
<Keribou> OK
<stampverb> sure
<Gabi> aha
<Keribou> #5 IS A BOOK OF SORTS- I FOLDED A GIANT TAG DIE CUT IN HALF
<Keribou> FOR THE COVER I DID DTP WITH PETAL POINTS AGAIN
<Keribou> STAMPED THE IMAGES IN DRAGONFLY BLACK- MY NEW FAVORIT INK
<Keribou> IT HAS SOME GREEN IN IT SO IT LOOKS SOFTER THAN PLAIN BLACK
<cindyc> dragonfly black?
<cindyc> by who?
<Keribou> IT IS A COLORBOX PIGMENT INK COLOR
<cak> I was just going to ask why
<cindyc> ahhh
<cindyc> ok!
<Keribou> IT CAME OUT A FEW YEARS AGO BUT I NEVER USED IT UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO
<Keribou> HARD TO SEE IT IN THE SCAN- JUST TRUST THE KERIBOU- IT IS A SOFTER BLACK
<Keribou> FOR THE MAMORIES IMAGE THAT IS LAYERED ON TOP- I USED THE CHALK TECHNIQUE THAT I SUED IN BOOK #4
<Monica> another good dual-black is Brilliance Lightning Black, has gold highlights
<Keribou> THE FLOWERS ARE MADE OUT OF ULTRA THICK EMBOSSING POWDER MELTED AND POURED INTO A MOLD OF A FLOWER
<Monica> what was release for mold?
<cindyc> nice
<cindyc> i wondered
<Keribou> DIDN'T USE A RELEASE
<Keribou> THE MOLD WAS MADE OF THAT SILICONE PUTTY- MOLD AND POUR I THINK IT IS CALLED
<Keribou> THE MOLD IS FLEXIBLE SO YOU CAN POP OUT THE SHAPE WHEN IT COOLS
<Monica> ah, I was wondering if that was it. Haven't gotten that yet.
<Keribou> UTEE IS VERY FUN AND I MIXED SHADES OF GOLD AND PEWTER AND IT MAKES AN ANTIQUE-Y LOOK
<Monica> I'll put it on my shopping list for the next convention
<Keribou> OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT SO
<m> are there pics to look at?
<Gabi> i thought it was lil pinecones
<cak> I never thought of mixing the UTEE, just the regular ep
<cak> http://photos.yahoo.com/boos_1@sbcglobal.net
<cak> (Round-up album)
<Keribou> I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE I AM HAVE A VERY ARTSY STAMP STYLE
<Monica> that's what I thought at first, Gabi
<Keribou> BUT THESE SAMPLES ARE DEFINITELY SOFTER AND MORE FEMININE
<m> thx
<cak> cool--nothing like broadening your "vocabulary"
<Keribou> SO ANYWAY
<Keribou> THAT IS CLASS
<stampverb> "Broad"ening?
<Keribou> THANKS FOR COMING AND REMEMBER- DIECUTS BY DEBBIE HAS SOME INCREIBLE DIECUTS
<Monica> Thanks, Keri
<Keribou> LOL VERB
<stampverb> I have a question
<cak> Thank you (lol stampverb) Keri!
<Keribou> YES VERB?
<stampverb> back to the dragonfly black ink
<Monica> I can only make one purchase this convention and the memory book diecuts wins
<stampverb> <slow typist here>
<Gabi> thank you Keri, learned somethin new again
<Keribou> GREAT GABI
<Keribou> MONICA- I THINK YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY!
<Monica> yes, I thinks so too
<Gabi> How often do you guys meet here?
<stampverb> is it enough "off" from pure black that it really shows up stamped on a black bkgrnd, even without EP?
<cak> (keep coming back Gabi--there's a weekly class scheduled specifically for the European stampers)
<Keribou> GOOD QUESTION VERB
