<Wanda> is that just the machine or accessories

<CindyC> SHE DIDN'T SAY, SO MAYBE BOTH?

<CindyC> HEH

<pyromomma> hmmm, more goodies to buy.....

<CindyC> LOL

* CindyC LOVES HER WIZARD!!!!! AND THAT'S THE TRUTH!

<CindyC> IF THERE ANYONE HERE WHO HAS NOT HEARD OF TE WIZARD DIE CUT MACHINE.

* Wanda loves hers too

<Tarotmama> me too

<sandyh> i just heard about it

<CindyC> IF NOT YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT! AS FOR THE REST OF YOU HANG ON TO YOUR HATS AND SEE JUST WHY YOU MUST HAVE THIS FABULOUS MACHINE!

<barb911> not me i seen it at the fort wayne stamp show

<pyromomma> it is cool!

* deb clamps her hat on

<CindyC> WHAT IS THE WIZARD? IT IS A DIE CUT AND DRY EMBOSSING MACHINE.

<CindyC> LOL DEB I LOVE YA LADY

<CindyC> REMEMBER HOW LONG IT HAS TAKEN YOU TO EMBOSS THOSE IMAGES WITH A LIGHT BOX AND A STYLUS? NO MORE!

<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5440643&uid=500054

<CindyC> JUST RUN IT THROUGH AND IN ONE PASS THE WHOLE STENCIL (AND OTHER ITEMS AS YOU SHALL SEE) IS EMBOSSED!

<pyromomma> I have been getting some charms and stuff ready to try

<CindyC> THAT IS HALF THE FUN, CHALLENGING THE MACHINE...LOL

<sandyh> can i use my regular brass stencils?

<CindyC> YOU CAN EMBOSS: FOILS, CARDSTOCK, VELLUM, PAPER, SUEDE PAPER, LACE, ALUMINUM POP CANS, SCREEN, TEXTURE SHEETS, CHARMS, HARDWARE CLOTH, STENCILS (BE THEY METAL, PLASTIC, LAZER CUT OR YOUR OWN HOME MADE), THIN PLANTS, BASICALLY ANYTHING THAT IS NOT TOO THICK AND HAS TEXTURE!

<CindyC> YES SANDY ANDMUCH MORE

<barb911> what about those plastic stencils

<CindyC> YUP

<sandyh> tell me more, cindy

<pyromomma> me too!

<CindyC> IF IT ISN'T TOO THICK AND HAS TEXTURE IT IS GAME

<barb911> m 2

<CindyC> MY FIRST PIECE OF ADVICE IS TO READ THE BOOKLET THAT COMES WITH YOUR MACHINE. MY SECOND TIP IS TO PLAY WITH THE MACHINE. YOU WILL QUICKLY ADAPT TO IT AND GET A FEEL FOR WHAT WORKS BEST.

<cak> how thick is too thick?

<CindyC> YOU WILL KNOW BY PLAYING

<CindyC> YOU CANNOT DO REAL THICK CHARMS BUT YOU CAN DO SOMEWHAT DIMENSIONAL ONES

<cak> thanks

<pyromomma> have you tried any ploymer clay charms?

<CindyC> YOU WILL GET AN IDEA FROM THE SAMPES

<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5440643&uid=500054

<Regina> Gotta go for now. Be back later. THX

<CindyC> NOT YET, BUT HAVE HEARD YOU CAN

<CindyC> OH, BY THE WAY, THERE WILL BE A PART TWO TO THIS CLASS A WEEK FROM SAT. WHEN CLAY WILL BE ONE OF THE MEDIUMS USED!

<pyromomma> I am afraid that the charms or poly clay will be crushed by the machine

<nick> is there a url on the machine?

<CindyC> PLAY WITH ITEMS YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT FIRST PYRO THEN YOU WILL KNOW

<CindyC> RUBBE CHICKED CARRIES IT

<Judy> http://cyberstampers.com/convention/rubberchicken/

<pyromomma> LOL, then I will have pancake charms!

<CindyC> TY JUDY

<nick> ty

<CindyC> SEE 1: CHARMS

<CindyC> http://secure.cartsvr.net/catalogs/index.asp?category=253725&count=1

<CindyC> FOR THE WIZARD

<pyromomma> are those the charms that you put into the machine?

<CindyC> HANF ON PYRO LOL

<pyromomma> chomping at the bit

<CindyC> HERE I HAVE TAKEN TWO LITTLE GIFT CHARMS AND EMBOSSED THEM ON THE WIZARD THEN TRIMMED.

<CindyC> TWO ARE THE CHARMS AND TWO ARE THE EMBOSSED FOIL!

<pyromomma> wow, which are which?

<CindyC> SEE 2: CHARM

<Judy> one way to keep your charms and use them too

<CindyC> MIDDLE ARE EMBOSSED

<CindyC> FOR SURE SOME ARE VERY COSTLY

<CindyC> THIS IS A VERY LARGE CHARM WITH QUITE A BIT OF DIMENSION. FOR SOME REASON WHEN YOU SCAN THE IMAGE LOOKS INVERTED (AREAS THAT STICK OUT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE PRESSED IN SO·

<CindyC> SEE 3: CHARM INVERTED

<CindyC> THIS GIVES YOU MORE OF AN IDEA HOW WELL IT EMBOSSED! THE COLOR IS TRUE IN THE FIRST SCAN.

<CindyC> NOT BAD FOR FAIRLY THICK HUH?

<CindyC> OKAY, THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW CHARMS CAN BE MADE CHEAPLY FOR DECORATION! DON'T YA LOVE IT?

<CindyC> .

<CindyC> OK, QUESTIONS ON CHARMS BEFORE WE GO ON?

<pyromomma> is the left charm in charm2 the one you embossed then cut out?

<CindyC> NOW FOR STENCILS·

<Judy> do you need an adaptor for the charms?

<CindyC> THE LEFT IS THE CHARM

<CindyC> RIGHT PYRO

<cak> you emboss, then cut around it? Do you have problems with it bending out of shape?

<pyromomma> and what weight foil did you uses?

<CindyC> THERE IS A KIT FOR EMBOSSING CHARMS

<Judy> oic - ty

<pyromomma> same one as for stencils

<CindyC> REGULAR CRAFT WEIGHT LIKE YOU GET IN SHEETS, but YOU CAN USE ALUM CANS, HVAC TAPE (MY FAVORITE AND ONE I DIDN'T USE TONIGHT) AND MUCH MORE

<pyromomma> I got some copper foil, but have not tried it yet.

<pyromomma> oohhh, alum cans...!

* Stampverb crosses fingers and toes

<CindyC> SOME FOLKS HAVE EVEN USED THICK ALUMINUM FOILED THAT THEY DOUBLED UP

<CindyC> I HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET

<Judy> why, verb? Red Sox already won the Series!

<pyromomma> recycleing and free, love it!

<CindyC> SEE: ANOTHER TREE CARD

<CindyC> THIS IS A DREAMWEAVER STENCIL FROM RUBBER CHICKEN (REMEMBER WHO IS SPONSORING ME? Lol) IT IS ON CARDSTOCK.

<Stampverb> why what, Judy?

<CindyC> ARE YOU FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED?

<Stampverb> lol

<CindyC> SEE: DREAMWEAVER

<Stampverb> always a smart thing to do in Red Sox universe

<CindyC> THIS IS THE SAME STENCIL ON LIGHT GREEN CARDSTOCK

<Judy> lol

<CindyC> . But

<CindyC> I ADDED A PIECE OF WINDOW SCREEN UNDER THE STENCIL WHEN I RAN IT THROUGH THE WIZARD.

<Stampverb> I gotta do some stuffs -- AFK

<CindyC> SEE THE EXTRA TEXTURE? HOW COOL IS THAT?

<Judy> thought it was the paper

<sandyh> love that!

<CindyC> THE PAPER IS SMOOTH

<CindyC> YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE FORMER TREE SCAN AND THIS ONE

<pyromomma> which side of the stencil did you put the screen on?

<CindyC> SO MUCH YOU CAN DO

<CindyC> SCREEN FIRST, THEN STENCIL, THEN PAPER, THEN POLYMER....

<pyromomma> IOW, what sort of "sandwich" did you use?

<pyromomma> TY

<sandyh> polymer?

<CindyC> REGULAR STENCIL SANDWICH

<CindyC> IT IS A PIECE OF BENDY RUBBER YOU USE FOR CUSHION AND THICKNESS WITH THE MACHINE SANDY

<pyromomma> better tell folks about polymer sandwiches

<sandyh> ty

<pyromomma> no peanut butter

<CindyC> YES DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU ARE CUTTING OR EMBOSSING YOU MAKE A "SANDWICH"

<nick> it comes with the machine?

<CindyC> IT INVOLVES DIFFERENT THICKNESSES OF PLATES, POLYMER AND YOUR ITEMS

<CindyC> YES NICK

<CindyC> OR WITH THE KITS

<CindyC> YOU WILL LEARN THE SYTEM VERY QUICKLY

<CindyC> SYSTEM EVEN

<CindyC> SEE: TREE CARD

<pyromomma> I have to play with it tongiht, no more delaying

<CindyC> HERE IT THE CARD COMPLETED WITH THOSE GIFT CHARMS. TOO EASY!

<sandyh> is there a lot of stuff you have to buy seperately from the machine?

<CindyC> NO SANDY

<sandyh> good

<CindyC> YOU CAN BUY THE DIES I HAVE THEM ALL BUT THE ALPHAS LOL

<nick> love that card!

<CindyC> I LOVE THIS MACHINE

<CindyC> AND SO EASY NICK! AND CHEAP TOO.. LOL

<pyromomma> you can use other companies dies, too

<sandyh> oh really?

<CindyC> YES, LIKE SIZZIX

<nick> cool

<Tarotmama> may I make a suggestion?

<CindyC> I HAVE BOUGHT THEIR SIZLETTES IN THE TAGS (TINY) VERY CUTE

<pyromomma> but I like the fact that you do not have to buy 2 machines, one for cutting and one for embossing, that is so cool!!

<CindyC> AND SOME OF THEIR FRAMES

<pyromomma> please do , tarot

<CindyC> AND THEY WORK BETTER IN THE WIZARD THEN THEY DO IN THE SIZZIX! I HAVE TRIED THEM BOTH

<CindyC> SURE TAROT

<Tarotmama> let's try to keep our comments and questions until cindy asks for them

<Tarotmama> and then let her start teaching again

<CindyC> SEE: HARDWARE CLOTH

<Tarotmama> k?

<CindyC> ON WE GO

<CindyC> THAT GREAT TEXTURE (AND IT IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED IN REALITY) IS MADE BY USING A PIECE OF HARDWARE CLOTH AS YOUR STENCIL!

<CindyC> THAT SHOULD SAY CLOTH NOT CLOTS! LOL AT ME

<pyromomma> LOL

<pyromomma> thought it was a halloween thing

<Judy> lol

<CindyC> GET A LITTLE PIECE OF THIS PYRO IT MAKES AWESOME BG'S

<CindyC> AND IT IS CHEAP

<pyromomma> I might have some in my garage

<CindyC> I THEN USED A ROUND GEMINI DIE AND CUT THE WHITE CIRCLE.

<CindyC> I STAMPED THE MAGENTA (RUBBER CHICKEN CARRIES MAGENTA) BY INKING IT UP WITH YELLOW OCHRE COLORBOX INK (YEP RC AGAIN)

<CindyC> AND THEN USED BLOW PENS RIGHT ON THE STAMP TO GIVE THE LOOK OF THE THUMPING TECHNIQUE

<CindyC> ONLY QUICKER AND MORE EVEN.

<CindyC> wasn't that clever of me? i just thought of it..lol

<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5440643&uid=500054

<CindyC> I DRIED IT THEN EMBOSSED WITH TWO LAYERS OF CLEAR EP FOR STAINED GLASS TEXURE. THEN LAYERED AND ADDED RIBBON.

<pyromomma> on rubber not on paper?

<CindyC> WB LILO

<CindyC> ON THE RUBBER STAMP

<pyromomma> cool!

<Wanda> very clever and a beautiful card

<Judy> http://secure.cartsvr.net/catalogs/index.asp?category=253725&count=1

<pyromomma> it looks wonderful

<CindyC> INKED THE STAMP AND USED BLOWPENS ON STAMP BEFORE STAMPING OUT THE IMAGE

<sandyh> can we speak now?

<CindyC> YES SANDY?

<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5440643&uid=500054

<Judy> http://secure.cartsvr.net/catalogs/index.asp?category=253725&count=1

<CindyC> Q?

<sandyh> i got lost....you used blow pens?

<CindyC> THAT IS USUALLY YOUR CUE

<Lilo> thanks

<CindyC> YES ON THE ANGEL IMAGE

<sandyh> never thought of trying that, but i like the look

<CindyC> I INKED THE STAMP WITH YELLOW CHALK INK, THEN ON TOP OF THAT USED BLOW PENS, AND THEN HUFFED ON THE STAMP AND STAMPED IT OUT

<sandyh> very cool

<CindyC> I DRIED IT THEN EMBOSSED WITH TWO LAYERS OF CLEAR EP FOR STAINED GLASS TEXURE. THEN LAYERED AND ADDED RIBBON.

<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5440643&uid=500054

<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5440643&uid=500054

<CindyC> I THEN PEELED THE PROTECTIVE BACKING OFF.

<pyromomma> oohhh, shame on you!

<CindyC> I THEN ARRANGED THE RAWHIDE INTO A PLEASING PATTERN.

<CindyC> LOL

<CindyC> . IT STUCK VERY NICELY!

<CindyC> I THEN SPRINKLED BABY POWDER OVER THE STICKY PART AND MADE SURE IT WAS DETACKED

<CindyC> AND RAN THROUGH THE WIZARD AGAIN LIKE A STENCIL.

<CindyC> AFTER, I STIPPLED WITH AN EMBOSSING TOOL.

<CindyC> SEE: RAWHIDE CARD

<pyromomma> aha, wondered how you did that and not get it srtuck to the foil. Caould you use paper as the embossing medium, too?

<sandyh> oh, pretty neat!

<CindyC> I THEN COLORED WITH ADIRONDACK ALCOHOL INKS, HEAT SET AND LAYERED. DONE!

<CindyC> WHAT YA THINK?

<CindyC> SURE YOU COULD

<CindyC> ok guess a letter from a-z

<pyromomma> or roacks or fine aquarium gravel?

<Tarotmama> gc?

<CindyC> ok let's move on

<pyromomma> what did she win?

<Tarotmama> what's that?

<CindyC> GIFT CERTIFICATE

<Patty_g> great

<nick> wow!

<Lilo> nice

<Tarotmama> OOOOO

<Tarotmama> nice

<pyromomma> cool!

<CindyC> NOW WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THOSE OLD BIRTHDAY, CHRISTMAS, RAKS OR EVEN UNUSED CARD FRONTS? RECYLE!

<CindyC> SEE: OLD CARD FRONT

<CindyC> THIS IS SOMETHING I WHIPPED UP SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I AM SURPRISED THAT IT ISN'T FADED! ANYWAY IT WAS NEVER USED.

<CindyC> WHEN I WAS A BIT MORE OF A NEWBIE

<pyromomma> looks very nice! Love the ginko

<CindyC> SO I RAN IT THROUGH THE WIZARD WITH THE COLOR BLOCK ABSTRACT 1 DIE. I THEN GLUED IT ON BLACK MATTE CS AND TRIMMED AROUND IT ALL.

<CindyC> TY

<CindyC> HINT, WHEN TAKING THE MOSAIC OUT, NUMBER THE EDGES OF THE PIECES SO YOU KNOW HOW TO ASSEMBLE. I PUT 1 ON THE TOP, 2 ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE, ETC. MIDDLE TILES HAVE NUMBERS ON TOP AND BOTTOM (SAME NUMBER, WITH A T FOR TOP SIDE).

<CindyC> I NUMBER THEM NEAR THEY'RE OUTER EDGES. MAKE SENSE?

<CindyC> ON THE BACK OF COURSE

<pyromomma> sure

<CindyC> I THEN USED A BLACK BLOPEN AND DOTTED UP SOME MATCHING CARDSTOCK.

<Lilo> I thought it was color cutters

<Judy> neat, Cindy

<CindyC> NOPE!

<CindyC> QUICKER

<CindyC> I LIKE BLO PENS

<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5440643&uid=500054

<sandyh> i like that!

<CindyC> REALLY JAZZED IT UP DIDN'T IT?

<sandyh> you bet

<Wanda> yes

<CindyC> YOU COULD DO THIS WITH MOST ANY CHRISTMAS OR WHATEVER CARD THAT ISN'T TOO DIMENSIONAL

<CindyC> I TOOK A PUNCH AND CHOPPED OUT A FLOWER SHAPE AND CUT IN QUARTERS FOR SOME SIMPLE CORNER EMBELISHMENTS.

<CindyC> DONE! QUESTIONS?

<pyromomma> wow, did not even see those, glad you pointed them out!

<CindyC> THINKING ABOUT HOW PHIL MENTIONED SAND, I HAVE TO TELL YA

<Wanda> the flower in quarters for the corners is a great idea

<CindyC> WHEN I FIRST GOT MY WIZ I WANTED TO EMBOSS SOMETHING RIGHT THEN

<CindyC> SO I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW SOME QUARTERS, THEY EMBOSS OF FOIL QUITE NICELY! LOL

<CindyC> EVEN ALL THOSE STATES DESIGNS

<sandyh> is everything you need to get started with the machine or do you have to buy a "kit" also?

<CindyC> FROM THAT MOMENT ON I WAS HOOKED

<CindyC> I DID BUY THE STENCIL KIT

<sandyh> ok

<CindyC> IT IS ONLY LIKE 15. AND SO WORTH IT

<Judy> http://secure.cartsvr.net/catalogs/index.asp?category=253725&count=1

<sandyh> ty

<CindyC> OK, HOW ABOUT THOSE GREAT PHOTO'S YOU HAVE TAKEN?

<Tarotmama> and tonight is 15% off

<Wanda> with the machine and the stencil kit you can do any embossing

<CindyC> TY TAROT

<CindyC> YEP!

<pyromomma> are the stencils 15% off too?

<CindyC> SEE: PHOTO FROM THE PARK.

<CindyC> NO PYRO SOB

<pyromomma> Ooh, I have that die!

<CindyC> MY KIDS LOVE FOR ME TO TAKE THEM TO SEE THE DUCKS.THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN ON ONE SUCH OUTING.

<CindyC> HERE I HAVE USED THE COLORBLOCK STRAIGHT #1 GEMINI DIE.

<CindyC> IT WOULD BE FUN TO MIX COLORS AND OR TAKE OUT A PIECE AND ADD A SAYING IN ONE OF THE BLOCKS. THIS DIE IS PERFECT FOR ANY SCRAPBOOKERS OUT THERE TOO!

<CindyC> THE LITTLE FROG CHARM WAS GOLD AND I USED PRISMACOLOR INK PENS ON HIM

<pyromomma> the slightly rounded corners look so slick!

<CindyC> ANY ALCOHOL INK WOULD WORK, JUST HEAT SET

<CindyC> I LOVE MY WIZARD!

<CindyC> WE ARE MAKING GOOD TIME!

<pyromomma> did you make the frog charm, too?

<CindyC> OK, LET'S LOOK AT SHRINK

<Judy> Gemini die - is that different company?

<CindyC> NO WAS RUNNING LATE

<CindyC> NO, SPELBINDERS MAKES THEM TOO

<Judy> ty

<CindyC> JUST WHAT THEY CALLED THE LINE

<CindyC> THEY WILL SOON HAVE ALPHA'S TOO

<pyromomma> ABCs?

<CindyC> OH, AND, I HAVE HEARD (HEHE) THAT THERE ARE A WHOLE BIG BUNCH OF NEW DIES IN THE WORKS!

<CindyC> YES PYRO

<CindyC> OK BACK TO THE SHRINK... LOL

<CindyC> SORRY THE SCAN IS SO DARK BUT YOU GET THE IDEA

<CindyC> THIS ONE TOOK A WHILE.

<CindyC> I AM NOT GOOD AT PUTTING JEWELRY TOGETHER.

<CindyC> ..

<CindyC> HERE I HAVE USED ALL THREE SHELL DIES FROM THE GEMINI LINE.

<sandyh> looks like metal

<CindyC> OOPS, TWO SHELLS AND ONE FISH SORRY

<CindyC> I RAN THEM THROUGH THE WIZARD WITH ROUGH AND READY SHRINK. ANY SHRINK BRAND WILL DO.

<CindyC> THAT'S THE DARKNESS

<CindyC> WHEN YOU SEE THEM IN REALITY THEY HAVE THAT TRANSLUCENCY THAT YOU GET WITH REAL SHELLS

<sandyh> cool

<CindyC> I THEN COLORED THE BACK SIDES WITH RANGERS SEA SHELL COLORS. IT MAKES SENSE RIGHT? LOL

<Lilo> the one on the left looks like mother of pearl

<CindyC> R CHICKEN CARRIES RANGER SO I AM SURE SHE WOULD HAVE OR COULD GET THESE

<CindyC> THEY DO HAVE THAT QUALITY LILO

<CindyC> I WAS VERY HAPPY

<CindyC> AFTER SHRINKING AND WHILE HOT I FORMED THE SHELLS INTO DIMENSIONAL SHAPES TO LOOK MORE REALISTIC.

<CindyC> ...

<CindyC> THE MEDALION IS A PIECE OF ART GLASS FROM ALICIA G. CREATIVE.

<CindyC> I DRILLED THE HOLE WITH MY DREMEL.

<CindyC> THE STAMP IS FROM HERO ARTS

<CindyC> I THOUGHT IT LOOKED A LOT LIKE THE OLD BATHING CAPS!

<CindyC> I STRUNG THE CHARMS ON THE ORGANDY RIBBON USING JUMP RINGS AND A PIECE OF CRAFT WIRE AS A NEEDLE. I DID THE SAME WITH THE BEADS.

<sandyh> omigod

<CindyC> QUESTIONS?

<pyromomma> incredible

<Judy> need my addie?

<sandyh> pretty versatile little machine!

<CindyC> REMEMBER YOU GET 15% OFF OF WIZARD STUFF TONIGHT

<CindyC> THE BUTTERFLY IS ALSO CUT WITH A GEMINI DIE. I THEN COLORED THE ACETATE WITH YELLOW AND ORANGE STAZON INKS AND HEAT SET. I ADHERED THE BUTTERFLY WITH DIMENSIONAL GLAZE.

<CindyC> I THEN LAYERED IT ALL. DONE! QUESTIONS?

<pyromomma> Some of the stencils have extra stuff on them

<Tarotmama> thanks cindy

<CindyC> AND IT WILL SHOW IF NOT COVERD

<pyromomma> like one part will be a corner and another part a border

<pyromomma> so how do you cover them?

<CindyC> IT YOU CAN FLIP THEM OVER BUT IF THEY HAVE LETTER YOU WILL HAVE TO TRIM OR CUT RUBBER TO JUST FIT IN THE AREA YOU WANT EMBOSSED

<sandyh> oh good question

<pyromomma> rubber over the embossing part?

<pyromomma> leave the rest plain?

<CindyC> FOR JUST A PART OF THE STENCIL YOU WILL NEED TO CUT YOUR POLY (YOU CAN BUY FULL SHEETS) AND LAY OVER THE AREA YOU WANT EMBOSSED

<CindyC> RIGHT

<CindyC> WE ALL NEED TO WRITE TO THE STENCIL COMPANIES AND TELL EM TO PUT THEIR NAMES AND COPYRITE INFO ON THE BACK SIDES FOR US
