<Phyl> can I raid your stamp room Monica?

<Dusty> ty

<GhostJudy> yw

<BlackCats> TY, JUDY

<GhostJudy> yw

<BlackCats> LOL, PHYL

<Phyl> tee hee

<GhostJudy> lots of supplies there!

* VerbSpook needs a shoppiing trip

<BlackCats> YOU COULD COME OVER THIS WEEK AND HELP ME REORGANIZE STUFF INTO MY NEW TOOL BOX MY DH IS GETTING READY FOR ME <g>

<beezy> yes

<Lindy> Is this the evo class?

<BlackCats> NO, LINDY

<beezy> can i come to your house to stamp with you??

<BlackCats> THAT WAS AT 8 EASTERN TIME

<BlackCats> SURE, BEEZY

<BlackCats> QUITE A ROAD TRIP THO...

<deb> it was at 7 eastern time

<BlackCats> OOPS, TY, DEB

<GhostJudy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5546476&uid=1026244&members=1

<beezy> do you stamp 24/7?

<BlackCats> CUT LAYERS. I FOUND THAT YOU GET MORE EVEN LAYERS IF YOU PUT ALL 4 COLORS OF VELLUM BETWEEN THE TWO LAYERS OF CREAM CARDSTOCK (FULL 8 1/2 X 11) IN A "SANDWICH" , TAMP TOGETHER TO GET THE EDGES EVEN, THEN CUTTING ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

<Lindy> is there a finished product to view?

<BlackCats> HOLD VELLUM TOGETHER AND FIT OVER THE TWO PIECES OF CREAM CS, WITH THE LONGEST PIECE BEING LAST. SPACE VELLUM AS SHOWN AND FOLD OVER THE EXCESS (APROX 1 3/4"). CREASE.

<deb> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5546476&uid=1026244&members=1

<deb> yes there

<BlackCats> TY, DEB

<BlackCats> CAUTION: WHEN WORKING WITH VELLUM, KEEP YOUR FINGERS

<BlackCats> CLEAN. VELLUM SMUDGES EASILY AND THE OILS FROM YOUR

<BlackCats> FINGERS WILL CAUSE IT TO PICK UP ANY STRAY COLORS AROUND.

* deb says if you cannot click - write down the url and then go type the url into your browser window to see the samples

<BlackCats> AND MY PICTURE TRAIL NICKNAME IS BlackCats2003

<BlackCats> USE FISKARS LEAF BORDER PUNCH ON THE LOWER EDGE OF THE LIGHT GREEN VELLUM. STAMP WORDS WITH ALPHABET STAMPS SO

<BlackCats> THAT THE 'S' IS NEAR THE RIGHT EDGE. USE PEARL EX INKPAD TO

<BlackCats> TINT THE EDGES.

<Lindy> Thanks.....got it

<BlackCats> good

<BlackCats> QUESTIONS?

<VerbSpook> Pearlex ink dries on vellum?

<BlackCats> STAMP OAK LEAF, MAPLE LEAF, AND BACKGROUND LEAF STAMP

<BlackCats> ON OTHER VELLUM LAYERS. CAREFULLY SET THEM ASIDE FOR A

<BlackCats> FEW MINUTES TO SET. THEN CAREFULLY TRIM EACH LAYER USING

<BlackCats> DECORATIVE SCISSORS, BEING CAREFUL TO HANDLE VELLUM BY THE

<BlackCats> EDGES TO AVOID SMEARS. RUN A LINE ALONG THE EDGES USING AN

<BlackCats> EMBOSSING INK PEN OR USE THE CORNER OF AN INKPAD SUCH AS

<BlackCats> VERSAMARK. EMBOSS WITH PEARL LUSTRE CARNELIAN.

<BlackCats> IT *NEVER* DRIED ON THE FIRST PIECE I TRIED <g>

<BlackCats> HENCE THE EP

<StayC> pearl lustre carnelian EP sounds wonderful....even if I don't know what it looks like

<BlackCats> SEE THE REDISH GOLDISH EDGE ON THE BOTTOM OF ALL THE LAYERS?

<BlackCats> THAT THE CARNELIAN EP

<VerbSpook> ok, did not see bit about EP over Pearlex'd edges

<Phyl> colors are to die for

<StayC> aha...thanks :o)

<Chryss> very very nice

<BlackCats> THE PEARL EX GOLD/RED INKPAD

<BlackCats> TY

<beezy> EP??

<BlackCats> IS THE NEW INKPADS THAT JUST CAME OUT A WHILE BACK

<Phyl> embossing powder beezy

<BlackCats> THEY ARE INKPADS, NOT POWDERS

<beezy> ty

<BlackCats> THE PEARL LUSTRE IS AN EMBOSSING POWDER

<VerbSpook> so after you edge the vellum w/Pearlex ink, then what?

<BlackCats> COMES IN SOME VERY NICE COLORS

<BlackCats> OK

<BlackCats> ON SHORTER PIECE OF CREAM CS USE THE TREE STAMP, A

<BlackCats> MASK AND THE STYLUS TOOL TO MAKE THE TREES LAYER.

<BlackCats> I MADE THIS LAYER SO THAT IT HAD A SOFT LOOK TO IT.

<BlackCats> ANOTHER IDEA WOULD BE TO STAMP AND EMBOSS THE TREE

<BlackCats> SLIGHTLY OFFCENTER AND EMBOSS. THEN USE THE TREE

<BlackCats> STAMP AND MASK TO FILL IN AROUND THAT MAIN IMAGE.

<VerbDumb> k

<deb> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5546476&uid=1026244&members=1

<BlackCats> WHEW, TOOK A CHANCE THAT WOULDN'T FLOOD ME OFF HERE

<BlackCats> ON THE LONGER PIECE OF CS, STAMP FAIRY AS SHOWN. COLOR

<BlackCats> WITH RADIANT PEARLS AND TWINKLING H20's. USE BRILIIANCE

<BlackCats> RAINBOW INKPADS AND STIPPLE BRUSHES TO DO BACKGROUND.

* deb glues monica to the room

<BlackCats> TY

<BlackCats> PRINT SAYING ON VELLUM. HEAT SET. EDGE USING PEARL EX

<BlackCats> GOLD/RED. HEAT SET. TRIM BOTH CREAM LAYERS AND EMBOSS EDGES AS SHOWN.

<deb> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5546476&uid=1026244&members=1

<BlackCats> CLEAN HANDS. HOLDING ALL LAYERS TOGETHER, USE HOLE PUNCH

<BlackCats> TO MAKE 5 HOLES ALONG TOP EDGE. THREAD MULTI-COLORED

<BlackCats> RIBBON IN FALL COLORS THROUGH HOLES IN A CRISS-CROSS MANNER. KNOT IN LEFT CORNER. THREAD ANOTHER LENGTH OF

<BlackCats> RIBBON THROUGH THAT LEFT HOLE AND MAKE A BOW.

<BlackCats> THAT'S IT!

<BlackCats> QUESTIONS?

<GhostJudy> beautiful, Monica!

<BlackCats> TY

<Lindy> Thanks BlackCats - great card (y)

<Dusty> Lovely card!

<cak> boy, the embossing really ties the layers into one piece, very effective

<BlackCats> TY

<BlackCats> YES, IT DOES, CAK

<Lilo> very nice ty

<Regina> Really pretty

<BlackCats> AND THE SCAN REALLY DOESN'T DO JUSTICE TO THE DEPTH OF COLORS

<BlackCats> TY, TY

<MsKitty> Thanks BlackCats, that is super!

<BlackCats> TY

<BlackCats> THIS LOOKS COMPLICATED

<MsKitty> and it didn't even hurt!LOL

<BlackCats> AND IT DOES TAKE A BIT OF CARE WITH THE VELLUM

<lou> very creative!!

<BlackCats> BUT NOT A HARD CARD TO MAKE

<BlackCats> TY

<Mel> now i guess i have to do some vellum shopping.....

<Mel> thank you BC i love the card

<BlackCats> I CAN THINK UP A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES FOR THIS IDEA

<BlackCats> TY

<BlackCats> AND YOU COULD DO IT WITH CARDSTOCK INSTEAD OF VELLUM

<StayC> I love the layering idea....and of course the leaves, too

<BlackCats> YES, THOSE ARE REALLY NICELY DETAILED LEAF STAMPS

<cak> really, all you need is an idea and stamps of the idea!

<Lilo> you could use some of the pretty printed vellum and adapt the bottom to look like your card

<BlackCats> YES, JUST DO SERIES OF RELATED IMAGES

<BlackCats> YES, LILO, GOOD IDEA

<cak> great idea Lilo

<BlackCats> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR IDEAS?

<Carolyn> BlalckCats...sorry I came in late....Do the layers lift up or are they glued down on the card?

<Lilo> i have so many good ideas from all the classes

<BlackCats> THEY LIFT UP

<cak> (I'm attracted to them, but never really know what to do with the printed vellum)

<Carolyn> Thanks

<MonkeyMom> me too cak

<Regina> Think I'll try that for a Thanksgiving card.

<BlackCats> READY FOR NEXT CARD?

<cak> oooo, this would be great to spotlight a well-loved poem

<Lilo> yes

<MonkeyMom> a great wedding/ baby shower technique

<MsKitty> yeppers

<BlackCats> OOOH, YES, CAK

<BlackCats> YES, MM

<Dusty> Ready.

<MonkeyMom> ready

<BlackCats> LOTS OF WAYS THIS COULD BE DONE

<BlackCats> URL AGAIN SOMEONE, PLEASE

<cak> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5546476&uid=1026244&members=1

<BlackCats> TY

<BlackCats> FAIRY CARD USING ENVELOPE MAKER STAMP #56E01:

<BlackCats> STAMP IMAGE ON LIGHT CREAM CS USING MEMORIES BLACK INK.

<BlackCats> COLOR USING MARKERS AND TWINKLING HW0'S. TRIM IMAGE AS

<BlackCats> SHOWN. NOW... I CAN'T USE AN EXACTO KNIFE VERY WELL SO I

<BlackCats> USED SMALL DETAIL SCISSORS. IF YOU ARE PROFICIENT WITH

<BlackCats> EXACTO KNIVES YOU COULD TRIM IMAGE MORE CLOSELY.

<cak> (sorry a little slow on the uptake here)

<BlackCats> NO PROBLEM, CAK

<BlackCats> THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, AND JUDY AND DEB TOO

* BlackCats HUGS YOU GUYS

* CindyC applauds the helpers!!!!

<cak> (of whom BC and CC are 2)

<BlackCats> US TEACHERS RELY ON OUR GREAT HELPERS TO KEEP THE FLOW GOING DURING CLASS

<Lilo> what did you use on the lady bug?

<BlackCats> WHEN DRY, USE A BLACK SHARPIE TO TOUCH UP THE BLACK

<BlackCats> DOTS. TRIM CLOSELY. TOUCH UP EDGES WITH BLACK SHARPIE. ATTACH OVER BUG ON FULL IMAGE USING A GLUE DOT.

<CindyC> *†*

<BlackCats> OOPS

<BlackCats> THINK I SKIPPED A SENTENCE THERE

<BlackCats> LET ME REPEAT ABOUT THE LADYBUG

<Lilo> ty

<BlackCats> STAMP CORNER OF STAMP THAT HAS THE LADYBUG IN IT ON A

<BlackCats> SCRAP OF CS WITH MEMORIES BLACK INK. HEAT SET. COLOR IN

<BlackCats> BUG USING RED GLITTER GLUE, TAKING CARE NOT TO COVER THE BLACK DOTS. HEAT SET TILL DRY.

<BlackCats> DRAT..SHOULD BE STAMP IT ON A SCRAP OF CS

<BlackCats> WHEN DRY, USE A BLACK SHARPIE TO TOUCH UP THE BLACK

<BlackCats> DOTS. TRIM CLOSELY. TOUCH UP EDGES WITH BLACK SHARPIE. ATTACH OVER BUG ON FULL IMAGE USING A GLUE DOT.

<BlackCats> TEAR EDGES OF SILK LAYERING PAPER FROM CREATIVE IMAGES

<BlackCats> TO FIT ON TOP OF CARD. ATTACH PREPARED, TRIMMED IMAGE

<BlackCats> USING GLUE DOTS SO THAT THE WING TIPS AND LEAF TIP ARE

<BlackCats> LIFTED A BIT.

<BlackCats> QUESTIONS?

<VerbDumb> do glue dots raise the top thingie above the background, or its it like using regular glue but keeping your fingers un-stuck?

<BlackCats> URL PLEASE

<BlackCats> IT RAISES IT A BIT

<lou> is that one "big" stamp?

<cak> does Creative Images carry more than the one envelope maker (please say yes)?

<cak> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5546476&uid=1026244&members=1

<BlackCats> I TRIED THE POP DOTS

<deb> my url unpasted

<BlackCats> BUT THAT WAS A BIT TOO RAISED

<deb> sigh

<VerbDumb> ty

<BlackCats> YES, LOU

<BlackCats> THAT IS WHAT IS CALLED AN ENVELOPE MAKER STAMP

<BlackCats> THIS STAMP DOUBLES AS A SCENE STAMP

<BlackCats> YES, CAK

<BlackCats> I WILL SHOW YOU MORE ENVY MAKER STAMPS IN A MINUTE

<lou> kewl

<cak> I love stamps that have a central empty area (I love to fill up stuff)

<BlackCats> THIS STAMP IS A LOT OF FUN

<BlackCats> I HAD DONE THIS MAKING A SUNSET BACKGROUND WITH CHALK

<BlackCats> AFTER I HAD HEAT SET THE PAINTED IMAGE

<BlackCats> AND...

<BlackCats> YOU GUESSED IT

<BlackCats> JUST AS I WAS ALMOST FINISHED

<BlackCats> ALONG CAME A CAT WITH DIRTY PAWS

<cak> lol--

<lou> oh no

<deb> lol

<MsKitty> :(

<Lilo> that would have been one dead cat

<BlackCats> SYD TOOK UNSCHEDULED FLYING LESSON THEN

<cak> I think you need to make a Catzilla card, then the paw prints would work just fine

<BlackCats> LOL, CAK

<BlackCats> FAIRY ENVELOPE:

<BlackCats> STAMP ENVELOPE MAKER #56E01 ON ENVY USING

<BlackCats> BRILLIANCE TWILIGHT RAINBOW PAD. HEAT SET.

<BlackCats> BECAUSE I HAD TO REMAKE THIS CARD <GRRR>

<BlackCats> I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DO MUCH WITH THIS ENVY

<cak> I actually think the plainer background makes for a better card--allows the image to stand out better

<cak> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5546476&uid=1026244&members=1

<BlackCats> HI, DESPERATE

<desperate> hi sorry im late

<BlackCats> THANKS, CAK

<BlackCats> NO PROBLEM DESPERATE

<BlackCats> GLAD YOU MADE IT

<Carolyn> Had to take time out.. We had some trick or treat guests at the door

<BlackCats> AH, OK

<BlackCats> QUESTIONS?

<BlackCats> WHEAT SHEAF CARD:

<BlackCats> STAMP WHEAT CIRCLE #35B01 ON GLOSSY CARDSTOCK WITH

<BlackCats> VERSAMARK INKPAD. HEAT SET. MOISTEN RUBBER BRAYER

<BlackCats> AND USE KALEIDACOLOR AUTUMN LEAVES RAINBOW PAD TO

<BlackCats> COLOR CS. BUFF CARD WITH TISSUE. USE CORNER ROUNDER.

<BlackCats> SPRAY WITH FIXATIVE TO SEAL. LAYER ONTO CARD.

<cak> well, comment anyway--again I think the plainer image allows the important info to come to the foreground

<BlackCats> YES, CAK, THAT IS TRUE

<Scout> I always have to be reminded to buff. Don't know why I can't remember that!

<BlackCats> I LIKE THE WAY THE SILK PAPER PULLS THE DRESS COLOR FORWARD

<Carolyn> I need brayering time....mine never turns that well

<BlackCats> BUFFING WITH THIS TECHNIQUE IS IMPORTANT

<MsKitty> Do you moisten the brayer with water?

<BlackCats> YES

<lou> i've learned if you don't spray them they are going to dull

<BlackCats> THAT HELPS PICK UP THE INK

<MsKitty> okay, thanks

<BlackCats> YES

<Carolyn> water????

<MsKitty> Makes sense

<BlackCats> BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET ENOUGH INK ONTO A DRY BRAYER

<Carolyn> no wonder mine don't turn out

<BlackCats> I RUN MINE UNDER THE FAUCET AND SHAKE

<cak> so a mini-brayer lesson??

<MsKitty> lol,,,,,,,,mine either Carolyn!

<BlackCats> THAT WORKS FINE FOR ME

<MsKitty> Now we know the secret!

<BlackCats> BUT YOU COULD USE A SPRAYER

<Carolyn> a mini brayer lesson....YES

<BlackCats> OTHER BRAYER QUESTIONS?

<MsKitty> I love learning little tricks of the trade!

<cak> you mist brayer, apply ink to brayer, brayer card, buff card, spray card with finish?

<BlackCats> YES

<BlackCats> THAT'S IT

<BlackCats> DEAD EASY AND REAL QUICK CARD

<Scout> a wet paper towel in a plastic square dish would probably work also, wouldn't it

<cak> lol--sounds simple, but I'll find a way to mess it up

<MsKitty> It looks great!

<BlackCats> TY

<Carolyn> How do you keep from running the brayer across the wrong colors from the first swipe to the next

<cak> that sounds more efficient Scout

<BlackCats> OH, REMEBER TO BRAYER MIDDLE OF CARD FIRST

<pmstamper> do you spray right away, or let it dry first and then put on finish?

<Carolyn> Thanks....more tips THANK YOU

<BlackCats> JUST A SEC PAT

<Scout> In our house no one is allowed to throw away those oblong black Boston Market dishes!

<pmstamper> ok

<BlackCats> THEN MOVE THE RIGHT SIDE OF BRAYER OVER MATCHING COLORS

<BlackCats> AND STAMP LEFT SIDE

<BlackCats> THE DO OPPOSITE FOR OTHER SIDE

###Stampverb (~Stampverb@sdn-ap-016castocP0046.dialsprint.net) has joined channel #rubberclassroom

<BlackCats> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

<Carolyn> yes, thank you

<BlackCats> SO THAT YOU HAVE BANDS OF COLORS AND DON'T HAVE ALL ONE COLOR TOGETHER

<BlackCats> MAKE SENSE?

<MsKitty> yep

<BlackCats> OK

<Dusty> Yes.

<MsKitty> Can't wait to try it.

<Lilo> very sharp looking card.

<BlackCats> GREAT

<BlackCats> THANKS

<Carolyn> I like the effect on your wheat card. Just didn't know how to accomplish that

<Scout> and don't forget to save the paper you ran over onto, those make good backgrounds

<BlackCats> OH, GOOD TIP, SCOUT

<MsKitty> You use shiny cardstock? Did you already say that?

<BlackCats> GLOSSY CARDSTOCK

<cak> I bet the damp brayer allows the ink to release a little better onto the card too. (I always have trouble getting a good solid layer of color)

<MsKitty> Okay, thanks

<BlackCats> YES, CAK

<BlackCats> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A FEW THINGS ON THE CREATIVE IMAGES
