<MeganBear> WHICHEVER YOU PREFER

<Evo> cak? virginal pads need an extra soft touch

<MeganBear> YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WILL COME OFF YOUR CARDSTOCK

<StayC> love the blue painters tape idea...have tons of that laying around

<MeganBear> START WITH A FOLDED WHITE GLOSSY CARD

<vickibear> sorry - gotta go. The toothpicks keeping my eyes open are not working. I need sleep

<MeganBear> I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE DIMENSIONS, BECAUSE YOU CAN ALL ADJUST THIS TO WHATEVER SIZE YOU PREFER

<ash> Night

<MeganBear> (SHE HAD FIVE GIRLS AT HER HOUSE OVER NIGHT LAST NIGHT!)

<Scout> sleep at least till noon

<MeganBear> OK, YOU'VE GOT YOUR FOLDED WHITE GLOSSY CARDSTOCK

<MeganBear> NOW, USING YOUR PINK DYE INK, USE DIRECT-TO-PAPER TECHNIQUE ON THE CARD

<MeganBear> LEAVE SOME WHITE SPOTS - YOU'LL FILL THOSE IN WITH PURPLE INKS

<MeganBear> WHEN YOU ARE DONE WITH PINK, GO ON TO PURPLE

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/booth.html

<MeganBear> WHEN THIS IS DONE, BLAST IT FOR A QUICK SECOND OR TWO WITH YOUR HEAT GUN JUST TO MAKE SURE THE INK IS DRY

<MeganBear> NOT TOO MUCH - WE DON'T WANT TO CURL THE PAPER

<MeganBear> NOW, USE THE FIREFLIES VERSE FROM THE SPRING SUPPLEMENT PLATE

<Evo> ohhhhh, man, Megan ... how can I only blast it for a second or two? :{<>

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/SSP002_SpringSupplementPlate_Lg.jpg

<MeganBear> IT'S THE ONE ON THE PLATE UNDER THE SUNFLOWER STAMP

<MeganBear> EVO - YOU'RE SO FUNNY -JUST TRY TO HOLD BACK A LITTLE WITH THE HEAT GUN!

<Jambalaya> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/booth.html

* Evo holds back on the blasting

<MeganBear> INK UP THE FIREFLIES VERSE WITH A PURPLE INK PAD

<MeganBear> AND STAMP THE VERSE ALL OVER THE CARD, MAKING DOUBLE SURE YOU GET ALL THE EDGES OF THE CARD STAMPED

<MeganBear> BECAUSE THE EDGES ARE ALL YOU'RE GOING TO SEE

<Evo> grape purple or passion purple?

<MeganBear> ANY PURPLE YOU LIKE!

<Evo> k

<MeganBear> NOW, KEEP IN MIND, YOU CAN DO THIS TECHNIQUE WITH ANY COLOR COMBINATION YOU WISH

<MeganBear> I'M JUST USING PINK AND PURPLE AS MY SAMPLE

<MeganBear> CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE COLOR COMBO, JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ONE LIGHT AND ONE DARK

<MeganBear> NOW, SET THIS FOLDED STAMPED CARD TO THE SIDE TO DRY COMPLETELY

<Evo> should I blast it?????

<ash> lol

<MeganBear> NO, JUST LET IT DRY

<Evo> k

<MeganBear> BUT YOU CAN BLAST IF YOU'LD RATHER

* Evo luvs blasting with the heat gun

<MeganBear> NOW, GRAB THE OTHER HALF OF YOUR GLOSSY CARDSTOCK

<MeganBear> AND LAY OUT YOUR GRID DESIGN WITH THE POST IT NOTES OR THE PAINTERS TAPE

<Jambalaya> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/booth.html

<MeganBear> WE'LL DO THE CENTER COLUMN FIRST THEN GO TO THE SIDE COLUMNS

<Evo> Heyyyy, SuznK

<MeganBear> THANKS, JAMBALAYA!

<SuznK> Hiya! do they still say "Better late than never"?

<SuznK> lol

<MeganBear> YOU BET

* beanjean1 is falling asleep

<beanjean1> I'm sorry megan

<beanjean1> it's beautiful, but I'll have to catch the transcript

<beanjean1> night all

<MeganBear> NOW THAT YOU'RE FIRST COLUMN IS LAID OUT, USE YOUR PINK INK AND THE MAKEUP WEDGE

<Evo> Is OK, bj... I'll talk for the both or us

<MeganBear> NIGHT BEAN SLEEP WELL

<ash> night.

<Judy> nite, beanjean

<beanjean1> lol evo

<beanjean1> nite everyone!

<cak> that's why you can get that lovely spotlight effect? 'cause you're using a sponge to apply the ink?

<MeganBear> INK UP THE MAKEUP WEDGE AND THEN GENTLY PULL THE INK FROM THE LINE OF TAPE OR POST IT TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE COLUMN

<MeganBear> YES, CAK

<Evo> neat look, Megan

<MeganBear> YOU HAVE MUCH MORE CONTROL USING THE SPONGE

<MeganBear> THANKS EVO

<MeganBear> DO BOTH INNER SIDES OF THE MIDDLE COLUMN, THEN GENTLY REMOVE THE TAPE/POST IT

<MeganBear> AND NOW BLAST AGAIN WITH HEAT GUN

<MeganBear> YOU'LL LIKE THIS PART EVO

<cak> lol

<Evo> Awrite!!!!!!!!!!!!1

<MeganBear> NOW, PUT YOUR TAPE BACK ON, BUT THIS TIME, AGAINST THE LINE YOU JUST CREATED SO YOU REVEAL TWO WHITE COLUMNS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE MIDDLE PINK COLUMN

<MeganBear> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

<Evo> I'm trying to visualize

<SuznK> I get it

<MeganBear> I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO DO STEP BY STEP SCANS - SORRY!

<ash> It does

<SuznK> I think..you mask what you just did?

<cak> I think so, you don't put the tape right along the pink edge, but just a titch away from it so you can make a white frame?

<MeganBear> YES, YOU MASK WHAT YOU JUST DID

<Evo> titch?

<SuznK> lol evo

<cak> (a little bit)

<MeganBear> NO, PUT IT AGAINST THE EDGE, BUT NOW YOU ARE COVERING THE PINK, AND LEAVING WHITE ON EITHER SIDE

<Evo> is titch a southern word?

<cak> gotcha

<Janet> like a scoash

<SuznK> yup... fr\or touch

<SuznK> lol

<Evo> tad

<cak> (I think it's a made-up cak word)

<Janet> it's an okie word anyway

<SuznK> for that is

<Evo> a tad away

<April> lol

<MeganBear> OK, SO NOW YOU HAVE TAPE IN THE CENTER OF YOUR COLUMN, HIDING MOST OF YOUR PINK, AND YOU HAVE TWO WHITE COLUMNS ON EITHER SIDE

* Evo should know the word titch but didn't but now does

<MeganBear> NOW, INK UP A SPONGE WITH PURPLE INK, AND DO THE SAME THING AS BEFORE

<MeganBear> DON'T PUT THE INK IN THE VERY CENTER - THIS WILL GIVE IT A NATURAL SPOTLIGHT

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/booth.html

<MeganBear> TAKE A LOOK AT THE CARD AGAIN, AND IT WILL MAKE SENSE

* Evo is looking

<Janet> sponge towards the center?

<MeganBear> THIS TIME, SPONGE TOWARDS THE OUTSIDE

<MeganBear> SORRY - I FORGOT THAT PART!

<MeganBear> I HOPE I HAVEN'T CONFUSED YOU ALL!

<stampverb> I am quite lost

<stampverb> I'll go re-read the class notes.....

<MeganBear> GOSH, I'M SORRY! WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP YOU GET IT?

<StayC> looking at the card really helps, verb

<Janet> i don't get how to sponge towards the outside but leave it lighter in the center

<MeganBear> I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE DONE STEP-BY-STEP SCANS, BUT I SPACED IT!

<cak> (you had other more important things to be thinkin' about)

<MeganBear> OK, HOLD ON FOR JUST A SECOND

<Judy> you were busy with Melissa's wedding

<Evo> lol, Megan it's OK!

<ash> Is the idea basically to sponge toward the centre of each section of the grid?

<stampverb> I am looking at scan, but confused still--are we doing the long straight strips now?

<StayC> I think we are working on the purple strips on the sides

<stampverb> maybe the word "columns" is what I am not sure about

<ash> I believe we're looking at the centre of the card

<ash> The actual grid portion

<StayC> and when pulling to the center when you are working on the sides, you only pull from 3 sides now, instead of 4

<stampverb> where are the "columns?"

<Judy> there is a purple column, a pink column in the center, then another purple column

<ash> See the 3 pink sections in the centre?

<MeganBear> HANG ON FOR A SEC - I'M GOING TO DO A QUICK SCAN AND UPLOAD

<MeganBear> THAT WILL HELP

<stampverb> Judy, thanks--that explanation did it!

<Judy> the columns must be divided later

<cak> pictures always help, thanks!

<stampverb> gotcha!

<stampverb> sorry to be so dense, folks

<April> thats ok, verb

<ash> We'll have none of that

<stampverb> lol

<stampverb> and I can't blame the Jack on the rocks--handed that to April!

<Judy> lol, stampverb!

<ash> lol

<MeganBear> OK - YOU GUYS CHATTER FOR A SECOND, AND WE'LL GET THE SCAN UP

<cak> it was all the fumes when you gave it to April that got to you I bet

<Janet> Well, I say thank you. I was hoping it would make sense eventually, was my fault i was late.

<Janet> wait, she was passing out jack on the rocks and I missed it??

<Janet> (last time I'll be late to class)

* stampverb imagines Dad rolling over in grave--his was a Kentucky moonshinin' family

<Judy> she only gave some to April, Janet

<stampverb> only had one rock

<Janet> oh.

<Janet> string her up

<Jambalaya> lol

* stampverb runs

<Janet> only need one rock, it's just for show anyways

<Evo> one rock aint easily divided up

<Janet> we're friends, we'd a shared the one rock

<Jambalaya> watch out verb, it's not nice to pass booze around the janet

<Janet> we just don't share whiskey that well

<Janet> all booze is passed through thejanet

<Janet> oh wait. that's not what I meant

<Janet> or mebbe it is

<Jambalaya> roflmao

<BlackCats> lol

* stampverb hands Janet some of the homemade white lightnin'in a Mason jar

<Judy> lol

<cak> (uh, did you *really* mean it that way???)

<Scout> yeh, that's what you say, Janet

<Janet> I don't know, let me try the white lightnin

<cak> light up a little for a lovely blue flame!

<Janet> oh my! that'll put hair on your chest! or strip paint, whichever ya need

<Scout> Is that the diabetic kind, Janet?

<Janet> oh yes, of course it is

* Janet snorts

<MeganBear> OK HERE I AM

<Scout> no carbs

<MeganBear> READY FOR THAT SCAN?

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/GRIDSCAN.jpg

<cak> thanks MB

<MeganBear> SEE IF THIS HELPS ANY

<Janet> no carbs no sugars no points. this is fantasy land

<MeganBear> IN THE CENTER IS THE FIRST COLUMN WE WORKED ON

<MeganBear> THE PINK ONE

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/GRIDSCAN.jpg

<MeganBear> THEN I REMOVED ONE PIECE OF POST IT, AND STARTED THE SECOND COLUMN, THE PURPLE ONE

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/GRIDSCAN.jpg

<stampverb> WOW

<cak> that *does* help!

<stampverb> this is GREAT

<Janet> that makes sense now

<stampverb> thatnks!!

<MeganBear> YIPPEE! I DID SOMETHING RIGHT!

<Janet> whoa. look at the size of that light bulb that just went on above stampverb's head

<stampverb> you done TONS right, me friend!

<Janet> that lights the world!

<Evo> lol, Megan

<cak> (I was gonna make it much more complicated than I needed to)

<MeganBear> I TOLD YOU IT WAS THE WORLD'S FASTEST SCAN AND UPLOAD

<BlackCats> well done, meganbear

<MeganBear> I EVE JUST NOW MADE THE SAMPLE, TOO

<MeganBear> HOW'S THAT FOR FAST?

<stampverb> note to self: send all stuffs to Megan for scanning and uploading

<cak> now I know you love us--

<MeganBear> I LOVE MY SCANNER

<cak> (or your scanner)

<MeganBear> OK, NOW DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THE COLUMNS PROCESS?

<BlackCats> yes

<Evo> yes

<ash> Goning to have to get me one of those

<cak> perfectly

<Jambalaya> and evo was behind her with the heat gun<g>

<MeganBear> WONDERFUL!

<stampverb> yep, I's with ya now!

* Evo has heat gun on ready!

<MeganBear> NOW, WHEN YOU GET THREE COLUMNS DONE - PINK CENTER, TWO OUTSIDE PURPLES...

<Janet> here, have some o the jar to celebrate

<MeganBear> YOU'LL DO THE SAME THING WITH ROWS

<MeganBear> GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION

<Evo> rows?

<MeganBear> START WITH THE CENTER

<MeganBear> THEN GO TO THE OUTSIDES

<MeganBear> OR INSTEAD OF DOING ROWS......

<MeganBear> JUST TURN YOUR PAPER, AND DO THREE MORE COLUMNS, CROSSING PERPENDICULAR TO THE ONES YOU JUST DID

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/booth.html

<MeganBear> GO BACK TO THE SAMPLE CARD AND SEE

<MeganBear> DID I LOSE YOU ALL AGAIN?

<April> lol

<cak> Do you keep the pink on the pink and purple on the purple or do you do middle all pink and outside columns all purple?

<MeganBear> YES, PINK ON PINK, ETC

<cak> (voila! spotlights!)

<MeganBear> YES, CAK!

* Evo waits with herheatgun...

<MeganBear> ONCE YU GET ALL YOUR SQUARES INKED, HEAT HER UP AGAIN!

<Evo> YEah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<MeganBear> THEN, MASK OFF SQUARES, AND OVERSTAMP AN IMAGE INTO THEM

<MeganBear> YOU CAN PICK AND CHOOSE, OR DO IT JUST LIKE THE SAMPLE

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/booth.html

<cak> was the ink applied to the stamp with the sponges too or was that a rainbow pad?

<MeganBear> JUST INK UP HALF THE STAMP WITH PINK, THEN THE OTHER HALF WITH PURPLE

<MeganBear> OR IF YOU HAVE A RAINBOW PAD WITH PURPLES AND PINKS YOU COULD DO THAT TOO

<MeganBear> AND REMEMBER, YOU CAN USE ANY COLORS YOU WANT

<cak> duh, of course! If you're doing halfsies, you just partially ink from the pads

<MeganBear> YEP

<MeganBear> ONCE YOU GET ALL THE SQUARES STAMPED IN, BLAST AGAIN!

<Evo> Could I use green and orange?

<MeganBear> THEN, CUT THE MIDDLE ROW OUT, LEAVING THE TOP AND BOTTOM ROW CONNECTED

<MeganBear> http://www.bearrubberstamps.com/booth.html

<MeganBear> YOU BET, EVO!

<Evo> ewwwwwwwwwww...

<MeganBear> WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS MAKE A BUNCH OF THESE CARDS, ALL THE SAME DESIGN, BUT WITH SEVERAL COLOR COMBOS

<MeganBear> IN FACT.......

* Evo hates green and orange but is good to know I could use that if I wanted to

<stampverb> wooo, cut out a row?

<MeganBear> IF YOU PLACE AN ORDER TONIGHT.....

<Scout> 28Host MeganBear says:rnONCE YOU GET ALL THE SQUARES STAMPED IN, BLAST AGAIN!28Host MeganBear says:rnONCE YOU GET ALL THE SQUARES STAMPED IN, BLAST AGAIN!
