<Jambalaya> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<beezy> hi jam
<Jambalaya> HI
<Judy> Jam - I can do that for you
<Jambalaya> TY JUDY
<Judy> yw
<beezy> hi Owen
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<beezy> hi sandy
<Vyx> Hey Owen... you braved the convention?
<Jambalaya> OK, Y'ALL READY TO START?
<BlackCats> welcome, sandyh
<Jambalaya> EVERYONE GET THE PAGE OPEN?
<beezy> rready jam
<Maren> yes, ready
<CindyC> YES!
<clueless> ready
<Wanda> yep
<CindyC> yes again!
<BlackCats> yes
<grayc3> ready
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<Regina> yes
<BlackCats> wb, jb
<purplrose> wow those are neat
<Jambalaya> OK, HERE WE GO
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<BlackCats> aren't they?
<Jambalaya> START WITH THE 4 SLOT SLIDE MAILERS
<Owen> i'm here, I don't know about brave though
<Jambalaya> AVAILABLE FROM STUBBY STAMPERS ON THE ACCESSORIES PAGE
<Jambalaya> THE SLIDE MAILER MUST BE BASE COATED
<Jambalaya> I USED ACRYLIC GESSO- WHITE
<Jambalaya> THEN PUT ON A COAT OF WHITE PEARL LUMIERES
<Jambalaya> I USED A COSMETIC SPONGE COVERED WITH PANTYHOSE TO APPLY THE LUMIERE
<Jambalaya> YOU CAN'T TELL THIS IN THE SCAN, BUT I SWIRLED IT ON
<BlackCats> good tip
<Wanda> covered with pantyhose? why?
<Jambalaya> IT GIVES A KINDA MARBLED LOOK
<Wanda> cool
<Jambalaya> PANTYHOSE MAKES IT SMOOTHER
<BlackCats> and keeps straight edge from showing
<Jambalaya> OK, AFTER THATS DRY,
<Jambalaya> AND I LIKE TO LET THAT SIT OVERNIGHT TO CURE
<Jambalaya> THEN STAMP WITH BLACK PERMANENT INK
<Jambalaya> I USED MEMORIES INDIA INK
<Jambalaya> WHICH I ALSO LIKE TO LET SIT OVERNIGHT
<Jambalaya> BUT YOU CAN ALSO HEAT SET IT IF YOU'RE IN A HURRY
<Jambalaya> NOW IS THE FUN PART
<Jambalaya> THERE ARE QUITE A FEW WAYS TO COLOR THIS
<Jambalaya> I COULDN'T STOP EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS!
<Jambalaya> THE TOP SAMPLE USED BRUSH MARKERS
<cak> you are the most inventive colorer!
<Jambalaya> LIKE MARVY'S, LEPLUMES, ETC
<Jambalaya> THAT TURNED OUT TO BE MY FAVORITE
<Jambalaya> VERY FAST, AND EASY
<Jambalaya> AND YOU CAN BLEND COLORS EASILY
<Jambalaya> THE LUMIERE BASE MAKES FOR A RATHER NON-POROUS SURFACE
<Jambalaya> SHARPIES ALSO WORKED WELL
<Jambalaya> SEE THE YELLOW HATTED ONE
<Jambalaya> THE RED HATTED ONE IS THE GELLY ROLL GLAZE PENS
<Jambalaya> WOW ARE THOSE FUN TO USE!
<purplrose> i love those
<Jambalaya> THEY ALSO BLEND BEAUTIFULLY
<Jambalaya> ONE THING THOUGH
<Jambalaya> YOU MUST LET EACH SECTION DRY BEFORE YOU COLOR NEXT TO IT, SO THEY WON'T BLEED TOGETHER
<Jambalaya> MUCH LIKE USING WATERCOLORS
<Jambalaya> ALSO BLEND THEM AS YOU WOULD WATERCOLORS
<Jambalaya> OK, ANY QUESTIONS?
<grayc3> This is great
<CindyC> need my addy?
<Jambalaya> LOL
<cak> nope, just a comment that this looks like loads of fun
<CindyC> beautifully done jam!
<Judy> have you mailed one of these, Jam?
<Judy> if not, you could test mail one to me!
<Regina> This would make the best Christmas gifts!
<Jambalaya> WELL, I HAVEN'T JUDY, BUT THE SLIDE MAILERS WILL PROTECT THE SLIDE IF THAT'S THE QUESTION<G>
<cak> (Judy is such a giver--always willing to help!)
<beezy> how big are they??
<Judy> k - ty!
<phil> hi
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<Judy> lol, cak!
<Jambalaya> APPROX 4.5" X 6"
<CindyC> i can tell you they make gorgeous ormaments, perfect size
<Jambalaya> OK, ON TO THE ORNAMENTS
<CindyC> i did some last year for teacher gifts... if i only had these i wouldn't have had to spell them out!
<beezy> really neat
<Jambalaya> THE STAMPED IMAGES ARE ON WHITE CARDSTOCK
<Jambalaya> JUST PLAIN OLE CHEAP CARDSTOCK, MATTE
<grayc3> I need to run--enjoyed visiting your site
<beezy> glossy?
<BlackCats> bye, grayc
<CindyC> nite grayc
<BlackCats> come back soon
<beezy> nit gray
<cak> be sure to come back often--especially this week
<Jambalaya> MOST OF THE SAMPLES ARE WATERCOLORED WITH PEERLESS
<Jambalaya> BUT YOU CAN USE ANY COLORING MEDIUM YOU LIKE
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<sandyh> this is where i got lost....still see me?
<Jambalaya> AFTER THE IMAGES ARE COLORED, CUT THEM OUT
<BlackCats> welcome back, sandy
<Judy> yes, we do, sandy
<sandyh> yea!
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<Jambalaya> THESE PARTICULAR STAMPS WERE MADE WITH SLIDES IN MIND, SO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT SIZE FRAME
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<BlackCats> hi, paty
<Patywak> hi
<BlackCats> wb, mm
<MonkeyMom> thanks
<Patywak> I'm late
<MonkeyMom> me too
<Patywak> WEnt to the movie
<Regina> hi Patty
<BlackCats> paty, click on this link to see class page
<Jambalaya> JUST CUT OUT AROUND THE FRAME, NO MEASURING INVOLVED
<Patywak> hi regina
<BlackCats> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<sandyh> i think the slode ornaments are very cute! i've seen them dipped into hot utee instead of the foil. good technique also
<Jambalaya> I USED THE STAINED GLASS IMAGES AS THE BACKS AND THE SNOW SET AS THE FRONT
<sandyh> slide. sorry
<Jambalaya> JUST SANDWICH THE IMAGES BACK TO BACK BETWEEN 2 GLASS MICROSCOPE SLIDES
<Jambalaya> SLIDES ALSO AVAILABLE FROM STUBBY STAMPERS
<cak> she has bunches of slide-sized images too,
<cak> doesn't she?
<Jambalaya> NOW PUTTING THE FOIL TAPE AROUND THE GLASS IS MUCH EASIER THAN IT SEEMS
<BlackCats> some really nice ones, cak
<Jambalaya> YES CAK
<cak> I'm always afraid I'll start it out crooked and that'll ruin the whole thing
<Jambalaya> STARTING WITH A WIRE LOOP, PIC AT BOTTOM,
<Jambalaya> ATTACH WIRE TO TAPE, THEN CENTER LOOP ON TOP OF SLIDES
<Jambalaya> THEN JUST CENTER THE SLIDES ON YOUR TAPE
<cak> Jamba--what gauge wire did you use?
<BlackCats> wb, paty
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<Jambalaya> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECTLY CENTERED
<Patywak> dunno why I got bumped
<BlackCats> happens, paty
<Patywak> give me the link again please
<Jambalaya> 22 GAUGE WIRE FOR LOOP
<BlackCats> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<Jambalaya> 24 WOULD BE OK TOO
<cak> cool--pretty easy to work with
<Jambalaya> YES
<Vyx> Smaller number, larger gauge wire.
<Jambalaya> JUST WRAP IT ON ROUND NOSE PLIERS, OR EVEN A SKEWER TO MAKE THE LOOP
<Vyx> so, sturdier is smaller numbers.
<Jambalaya> NOW WHEN YOU WRAP THE TAPE AND GET BACK TO THE TOP, LET IT OVERLAP THE LOOP
<Jambalaya> THEN SLIT THE TAPE DOWN THE MIDDLE SO IT FALLS TO THE SIDES OF THE LOOP
<Jambalaya> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
<Judy> yes
<CindyC> like a button hole?
<BlackCats> yes
<Jambalaya> YES CINDY!
<MonkeyMom> (y)
<cak> yep
<Jambalaya> TO GET THE TAPE BURNISHED DOWN ALL AROUND THE LOOP, USE A TOOTHPICK
<purplrose> yep
<clueless> can't wait to make these ... cute, cute , cute
<Jambalaya> AROUND THE REST OF THE SLIDE, PUSH THE TAPE DOWN OVER THE SLIDES AT THE TOP FIRST
<Jambalaya> THEN THE BOTTOM
<Jambalaya> PUSH YOUR THUMBNAIL INTO THE CORNERS TO MAKE A MITERED CORNER
<phil> so the foil holds the hanger no solder needed?
<Jambalaya> THEN FOLD THE SIDES OVER
<Jambalaya> NO, I DON'T USE SOLDER
<Jambalaya> IT'S NOT NECESSARY
<Patywak> Question
<Jambalaya> YES PATY?
<Patywak> Have you ever tried just dipping the edges in UTEE?
<Jambalaya> YES
<Patywak> does it work just as well?
<Jambalaya> I LIKE THE FOIL BETTER, PERSONALLY
<Patywak> ok
<Patywak> different strokes for different folks.:)
<Jambalaya> THE FOIL HAS A CLEANER LOOK, IMHO
<Patywak> gotcha
<Patywak> good info to have
<BlackCats> the UTEE might be hard to control, might run
<Jambalaya> AFTER YOUR FOIL IS FOLDED ALL OVER, USE A WOODEN CRAFT STICK TO BURNISH IT DOWN
<Jambalaya> THIS WILL REMOVE ANY WRINKLES
<sandyh> the utee looks more like solder
<CindyC> i have used red line tape and sparkly glitter too. looks nice on oranments
<Jambalaya> YES CINDY, THAT'S A COOL LOOK TOO
<BlackCats> beautiful, Jambalaya
<BlackCats> need my addy <G>?
<Wanda> or the tape with mini holeless beads
<Jambalaya> OK, ANY QUESTIONS?
<Wanda> where did you get the silver tape?
<Jambalaya> FROM STUBBY STAMPERS<G>
<Wanda> k
<Regina> HA!
<Wanda> of course
<Jambalaya> UMMMM IT MAY NOT BE ON THE SITE, BUT JUST ASK
<Wanda> got it
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<sandyh> what a nice present this would make!
<Jambalaya> OK, THE LAST SAMPLE AT THE BOTTOM
<BlackCats> hi, stamps4me
<Patywak> Is the silver tape the right width or did you have to cut it to fit?
<BlackCats> wb, jb
<Jambalaya> THOSE ARE DONE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY
<Jambalaya> I STAMPED ON ACETATE
<Jambalaya> WITH BLACK PERMANENT INK
<MonkeyMom> I have a hard time with acatate, any tips?
<BlackCats> should be a good fit, paty
<Jambalaya> PATY, IT'S 7/32"
<Patywak> thanks
<Patywak> would hate to have to cut it:p
<Jambalaya> TO STAMP ON ACETATE, TAKE IT REAL EASY
<Jambalaya> JUST "KISS" THE ACETATE WITH A WELL INKED STAMP
<Patywak> Have you tired the alcohol inks on acetate?
<MonkeyMom> no firm push?
<Jambalaya> DON'T PRESS DOWN LIKE YOU DO ON CARDSTOCK
<MonkeyMom> OHHHH
<Jambalaya> AND IF YOU CAN? STAND UP WHEN YOU STAMP
<MonkeyMom> what's that do?
<Jambalaya> OK, AFTER THAT INK IS DRY, AGAIN, I LIKE TO LET IT SET OVERNIGHT
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<alison> ooooooooooo gift ornaments!
<Regina> standing gives you more control over what you're doing
<Patywak> Isn't acetate non porous?
<Jambalaya> STANDING WHEN YOU STAMP? GIVES YOU MORE CONTROL
<MonkeyMom> MM needs more self control....
<BlackCats> and it takes a while for the ink to dry on acetate
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<BlackCats> so be careful about touching it
<Jambalaya> OK, THEN THE ACETATE IS COLORED ON THE REVERSE SIDE WITH GELLY ROLL GLAZE PENS
<Patywak> Anything non porous can be stamped with alcohol inks and it dries immediately.
<Jambalaya> AGAIN I WANT TO EMPHASIZE, LET EACH COLOR DRY BEFORE COLORING NEXT TO IT
<sandyh> i LOVE those pens!
<MonkeyMom> don't have any :(
<Jambalaya> STUBBY STAMPERS HAS THE GLAZE PENS<G>
<MonkeyMom> on sale even
<alison> no, really? stubby stampers, huh? :-)
<MonkeyMom> think so, been to too many booths tonight!
<Jambalaya> NOW, THE GLAZE MADE THE IMAGE A GOOD BIT THICKER THAN PLAIN CARDSTOCK, SO ON THESE I DIDN'T PUT ANOTHER IMAGE ON THE BACK
<Jambalaya> I DID PUT A PIECE OF SILVER MIRRICARD CARDSTOCK BEHIND THE IMAGE
<Jambalaya> OR YOU COULD USE SILVER FOIL
<Jambalaya> OTHER THAN THAT THE ASSEMBLY IS THE SAME AS THE OTHERS
<Jambalaya> OK, ANY QUESTIONS?
<MonkeyMom> nope
<sandyh> i really like the way these look.
<Jambalaya> THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN
<Jambalaya> IT'S REALLY HARD TO STOP
<Judy> great work, as usual, Jam
<MonkeyMom> very nice
<Judy> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<BlackCats> great samples, Jambalaya
<cak> nope! these would make fabulous little rememberance gifties
<MonkeyMom> or secret sister gifties
<cak> yeah
<Jambalaya> FOR THOSE THAT MISSED THE BEGINNING OF THIS CLASS, I'LL BE REPEATING IT SOMETIME LATER THIS WEEK
<BlackCats> wb, regina

<Jambalaya> I THINK FRIDAY, BUT CHECK THE SCHEDULE

<Regina> Been sitting here for 4 hours & the dudes kicked me off.
<sandyh> what about putting glitter on the cardstock in between the glass?
<BlackCats> lol, happens, regina
<Jambalaya> POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS, SANDY
<Regina> How do I get back to the end of the page where I missed a few lines?
<sandyh> that would look pretty cool! think i'll try it.
<MonkeyMom> does the silver come in wider widths for more layers?
<BlackCats> uh, you can't regina
<CindyC> yep!
<BlackCats> do you need the link again for the samples?
<Jambalaya> THE CLASS IS ALSO BEING LOGGED AND WILL BE IN THE CLASS LOGS LATER ON
<MonkeyMom> woo hoo
<BlackCats> http://www.stubbystampers.com/slideornaments.htm
<CindyC> i did i think it was four layers once for a mermaid scene with depth
<BlackCats> but I think Jambalaya had finished with instructions
<cak> I should have today's logs up by tomorrow afternoon
<Jambalaya> NOT SURE MonkeyMom, STUBBY ONLY CARRIES THE 7/32
<Regina> Thanks! Oh, Good.
<Judy> Regina - you only missed some talk - no instructions
<Janet> you might could cut your own out of aluminum foil
<Jambalaya> I KNOW THE COPPER COMES IN A BUNCH OF WIDTHS, BUT NOT SO SURE ON THE SILVER
<MonkeyMom> not big on precision cuttin
<MonkeyMom> tend to loose the ends of my fingers that way
<CindyC> and if you cant find it there is alway hvac tape lol
<Jambalaya> LOL
<BlackCats> rofl
<Jambalaya> YA THAT WOULD PROLLY WORK
<Regina> Janet--are you Southern, too? "Might could"
<BlackCats> for that heavy duty look? <G>
<Jambalaya> BUT YOU'D HAVE TO CUT STRAIGHT<G>
<Janet> moi?? LOL Jam's sez I'm not because I'm in Texas, like anything north of New Orleans is yankee
