[the scheduled teacher was unable to get to class, so Jambalaya showed us some great Christmas cards]
<pmstamper> Scout, do you ever go to the MS web site to get instructions for projects?
<wezz> martha stewart??? that's on TV, right???
<Scout> how do you get there? Don't know if I have it bookmarked or not.
<pmstamper> it is just her name and the .com and then you can search the site for projects.
<Scout> Martha is on tv, yes. We get her on channel 9 here.
<pmstamper> I go there and to HGTV as well for Caroll Duval's projects too.
<MomCat> Hi, C!
<c> hi there! :)
<Jambalaya> y'all want to see some quick christmas card ideas??
<Bibi> yeeeeees
<Judy> sure!
<Anita> jaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<Jambalaya> http://www.dm.net/~cak/xmascds.html
<Anita> very nice!!!!!!!!!
<Jambalaya> I MADE NEARLY 100 CHRISTMAS CARDS IN ABOUT 3 EVENINGS
<Judy> nice cards, Jam! Are they all Stubby Stampers stamps?
<Jambalaya> YE, ALL STUBBY STAMPERS
<Judy> I like the one with the trees
<Scout> Jam, you have a lot more energy than I do.
<Jambalaya> http://www.stubbystampers.com/
<Jambalaya> THIS WAS SO EASY THOUGH
<Jambalaya> I CALL IT POWER EMBOSSING<G>
<Judy> lol
<Scout> Just had a thought, Jam. You could email this out to all your friends at Christmas and save all that postage!
<MomCat> Gorgeous, Jam!
<Jambalaya> EMBOSS AS MANY IMAGES AS YOU CAN ON FULL SHEETS OF CARDSTOCK, CUT THEM OUT AND PUT EM ON CARDS
<c> Very neat cards!
<Bibi> nice cards, jams!
<Bibi> and I have that tree - yay!
<Torhild> yes very nice jams!
<Jambalaya> MOST CHRISTMAS IMAGES LOOK GREAT JUST EMBOSSED IN GOLD ON A DEEP RED OR GREEN CARDSTOCK
<MomCat> I =need= that poinsettia!
<Bibi> me, too!
<Jambalaya> SO, NO COLORING, NO FANCY TECHNIQUES
<Jambalaya> JUST GET IT DONE!
<MomCat> I would emboss the poisettia on green and on red
<Jambalaya> YA, THAT'S A GREAT POINSETTIA
<MomCat> and then cut out the red flower and glue it on top of the green
<c> I haven't started on my Xmas cards yet, so your cards Jam really gave me some great ideas. Thanks! (y)
<Jambalaya> GREAT!
<Judy> now you've gone beyond simple, MomCat!
<MomCat> no, Judy that's simple
<Jambalaya> THE SNOWFLAKE SHEETS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM ARE EASIER THAN THEY LOOK TOO
<Jambalaya> JUST VERSAMARK, RUBBED WITH CHALKS
<Jambalaya> THEN EMBOSSED SOME SNOWFLAKES IN GOLD GLITTER EP
<Jambalaya> THEN CUT INTO SQUARES
<Judy> Jam, do you know the number of the grove of trees stamp?
<wezz> sealed?
<Jambalaya> http://www.stubbystampers.com/christmas/trees.html
<Judy> ty!
<Jambalaya> #2425
<Judy> have a list of stamps from Stubby Stamper to add it to
<Jambalaya> AND SEE THE ONE NEXT TO IT? #3043 ?
<Jambalaya> THAT LOOKS SO ELEGANT JUST STAMPED AND EMBOSSED IN GOLD ON A TAN CARD
<Judy> yes
<joyflnoyz> it's too much...trying to keep up with conversation and see everything at the same time!! Heeellllppp mmmeeeee
<Jambalaya> JOY, IT GETS EASIER
<joyflnoyz> lol
<joyflnoyz> If I could get rid of the kids for a few hours it might help...
<Judy> Jam, what kind of embossing powder did you use on your grove of trees?
<Jambalaya> judy, i can't think of the name of it, but Stubby carries it, just ask for the sparly gold ep
<Scout> Just had a thought. Us CA's can run outside this evening and see a firecolor sunset!
<Jambalaya> srarkly
<Judy> ok, ty
<Judy> sparkly?
<Jambalaya> sparkly
<Judy> lol
<Jambalaya> it really doesn't show well in the scans, but's gorgeous
<MomCat> I am planning to use those trees in some of my christmas cards
<Judy> we have orangy skies, but no sun
<MomCat> I am planning to emboss the trees in green and then dab them here and there with glue and sprinkle on glitter
<Judy> what color of cardstock, MomCat?
<Frances> that sounds great, MomCat
* Judy knows a good idea when she hears it!
<MomCat> Judy, I haven't decided
<MomCat> I don't know how solid the trees look when stamped yet
<MomCat> probably I'll stamp them on something that looks like winter sky
<Judy> ooooooh aaaaaaaaaah!
<MomCat> and then color in any areas where the "sky" shows through
<MomCat> I have some pale blue-gray cardstock with random white speckles
<Judy> that would be neat!
<MomCat> i think it looks like a winter sky with snow falling
<Jambalaya> that would be gorgeous mom
<MomCat> ty
