"Faith's Little Miracle" is a powder that prepares paper for perfect embossing. It comes in a 2 oz. pouch and eliminates those troublesome little specs of embossing powder that shows up in the wrong places when you stamp your cards. It eliminates the static and moisture causing the problem. Just squeeze and rub the pouch over your card stock leaving a fine coating of powder, shake off the excess, then stamp as usual. When you add the embossing powder, it will cling to the stamped image only. I have a limited supply on order. Resevere one today for $5.00 which includes first class shipping. Let me know if you would like one. Jing Mark and Associates _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

The cost is $35.00 which includes shipping. These are 3 gm bottles. The first 16 colors of the 24 color set are the pearlescent colors in various particle sizes. The different particle size produce different looks from a fine, smooth, pearly luster to a highly metallic sheen. The colors range from whites to gold, copper, silver and bronze. Traditional colors or artist colors can be mixed with Pearl-Ex to further enhance the possibilities. The next five colors are interference pigments and the last three in the line are the duo-colors which display two tone qualities depending on the right angle. Let me know if you would like to reserve a set. I just discover them and I simply love them and am amazed at the possibilities. Beautiful over black cardstock and fabulous on handmade papers. First 12 people to e-mail me will get it at this fantastic deal. Retails $49.95.

Boy every card I receive is just as beautiful as the ones before. Thank you for all who have been sending me cards. Linda Lloyd - A St. Paty card of a cat juggling shamrocks. Inside is a beautiful sentiment "Irish Blessing". Thanks Linda, it's a beautiful saying. Janie Mundt - This was a neat card to open. On the outside there's a cat pouting saying "don't you know...' open the inside and there's a trifold paper saying 'that even', open 'cats', open 'celebrate St. Pats' and the cat is holding stems of shamrocks in each hand. Really nifty Janie! Thanks. Robin Cramer - She made an envelope out of the Sunday funnies. Great Idea! Those were some pretty colors on the card. I think it's 'brayered?' glossy cs layered with marble wallpaper and a medallion cat stamp. She also stamped 'meow', but it's backwards? How'd you do this, with the brayer? BTW, how the heck did my cat only come half-way? Poor thing, he's lost in the twilight zone. Thank you Ladies!

Scotch makes one... available at Michael's and at office supply stores. Comes in a blue package and says "removable tape". It is less sticky than regular tape and WILL NOT harm your cardstock when you take it off. - ---------------------------- From: Sandy Colby Try drafting tape; slightly sticky on both sides, just enough to hold for a bit, easy to remove. We use it for pergamano all the time! - ------------------------------ From: Olyvia29@aol.com I saw a good idea at the Sacto convention last weekend. "Kards by Karen" had a booth of all stencils and supplies. They were selling unlined index cards to emboss on. The index cards are the perfect size for most stencils....and they are cheap!! Karen was selling them for .50 for a package of 100! - ---------------------------- WarmHugs Angelhrt/Tyra *************************************************************************** When I've had troubled times, that had me down on my knees... there's always been someone to come along and comfort me...a kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand....a phone call from friend just to say "I understand"....and ain't it kinda funny.....at the dark end of the road...someone lights the way...with just a single ray of hope...

If you plan to color the image of the stencil, one way would be to use the inkpads and the sponges or brushes. Place the stencil down on the paper and sponge/brush the color over the stencil until you have the desired look. This may also be done after you emboss, but I like to do it first. 2. To dry emboss, place the stencil in the desired location on the front of your paper. Tape it in place if you need to with the removable tape. 3. Turn the paper and stencil over and place flat on the light source (windoe, TV or light box). You should be able to see where the stencil is under the paper. If your stencil is clear, you may not be able to see it. I stain the clear ones with black dye ink and wipe off the excess ink so I can see the stencil through the paper. 4. With the palm of your hand gently rub the back of the paper you will emboss on. This will transfer some of the oils of your skin and heat up the paper slightly so the stylus moves smoothly over the paper. 5. Using the stylus or ball point pen, trace the image of the stencil along the inside edges of it. This will raise the entire image on the paper. Trace the whole image before you peek to see if you've done good. It may be difficult to reposition the stencil back in place again. 6. When the image has been traced, turn the paper over and remove the stencil. You've just dry embossed! Hints and Tips: You don't need to buy those fancy brass stencils to do this. Your local craft store should have a wide selection of stencils for your walls. They will also have smaller stencils made of blue or pink plastic that will be the perfect size for cards and stationary. You can also make your own stencil with heavy cardstock and a craft knife. One cool thing to try is color the stencil image before you emboss. Then position the stencil on another part of the card and emboss. This looks cool with a floral stencil. Color the flower and emboss the image in several different places on the card, but not right over the colored image. Let the embossed images overlap the colored image. You can color the image in a variety of ways; chalks, watercolor, markers, sponging, stippling and blitzing. Try each one to see the difference each will make to the same design. Anyone else got suggestions for dry embossing? Ginny - ------------------ I use it to line up the brass stencils and homemade stencils for dry embossing. It lets you see through the card to exactly position the stencils. Here's a long writeup I did a while back on Dry Embossing for the technique swap about how to make your own custom stencils to match your stamps. Sorry for the repeat those of you who remember seeing it way back when, but I figure there are enough new folks it might bear repeating. :) The Cottage Stamper - ---------------------- Perhaps you already have tried this, but I thought I would pass on the success I had in combining the wallcovering with dry embossing......I took a piece of fairly plain-patterned (almost solid-colored) paper, and tried embossing a border pattern using a plastic stencil. Being vinyl, the *paper* is very flexible, and responded well to the stylus which moved very smoothly. The design came out beautifully; I thought perhaps since the vinyl was so flexible, it might not *hold onto* the embossing, but it's fine. This has endless possibilities! I don't know about adding color to the design; it might work but I like just the elegance of the plain embossed design. It jazzes up those *plainer* pieces in the sample books. Give it a try! This message was from Juleejc@aol.com ----------------- Yes dear, I'm here :) Dry embossing uses a lightbox, stencil, and stylus to create a raised image on your cardstock. You lay a stencil down on your lightbox (or your t.v. set will work in a pinch!), lay the cardstock on top of the stencil, and run your stylus along the outline of the stencil image. You can use brass or plastic stencils, doesn't matter. The purpose of the lightbox is so you can see the stencil through your cardstock. Then you can sponge on some color and combine with stamping for a really nice look. Shannon - ------------------ Take cardstock weight folded note card, If you were to slip the front of another notecard inside, it's front would be covered. Ok? Take the cardstock weight note card that is folded in half and create a design for a frame. You can make a 1/2" border, or wavy or oval or even a heart on it. Now, get out your handy dandy xacto knife, and cut out the frame you just drew on your notecard - cut through both layers - now you have a cardstock template in which you can slip a note card. Still with me? Ok. Slip the front of your note card into your template, lay it on your lightbox, and run your stylus along the edge of the template. The pressure from the stylus, will impress the notecard and when you remove it from the template, you will have a raised frame on your note card. If you put your note card in upside down, you will have the center of the frame raised. This is an quick and easy down and dirty way to create those frames on inexpensive note cards and make them look expensive. You can even make a second template with a smaller or larger opening, and emboss again for a very interesting look. Now, you can do a similar procedure for another type of template. Stamp out a block type of stamp or something with a very defined outline or silhouette (child, animal, heart, bear, whatever turns you on). Cut it out on the outline through both layers. Now you have another template. You can put your note cards in this template and dry emboss your image on the notecard. By having your cardweight template doubled you can slip your working piece inside of it and not have to worry about using tape. Of course, this is very elementry, but it will give you something to do with your lightbox until you get some other stencils. BTW, you can use plastic stencils as well as brass stencils for dry embossing. StamPatti, vsa & vsr - -------------------------- Don't wait to buy those brass stencils! They're great, but any stencil will work as long as it's tinted, not clear. 2 tips to remember, 1.the side of your card you want raised, that't the side to put the stencil on. I prefer to tape my stencil onto the card itself. For the raised impression, place the stencil on the face of the card. For the depressed image, place it on the inside of the card. This makes it easier to color in using chalks, paints or markers. If you're coloring in chalks, use a q-tip or makeup applicator, if using marveys us a makeup sponge and using markers, do this free hand, you can get a more creative look. Or small stencil brushes work well also. 2. When you flip the card over to "trace the stencil" with you're stylus, place a piece of waxpaper over the card stock. Not only does this cut down on the "scratching" noise, but it makes the stylus glide easier and you're hand won't get as tired. This is very important when there is a lot of detailing to do. If you're into scrapbooking and have templates for cutting the pictures out, you can make some great shapes to enhance a stamp by using this as your stencil. But be careful, these things are very addictive and you can find yourself looking for templates all over the place. Have fun! If you want to swap a card, I'd be happy to! Enjoy! Julie S. suds@southtech.net - --------------------------------- If you can purchase Pergamano supplies in your area, try PergaSoft to emboss. The jar is very small and I've used mine quite a bit, but you can't tell it as it takes very little. I just tap the PergaSoft with my stylus and emboss - the same way when doing Pergamano. It saves being bothered with the waxed paper. Barbara (StampBear) - ------------------------------------ From: "Bonnie Hoffman" Hi, just wanted to share this with you all. . . As many of you suspect, I am occasionally challenged by an alergy to waiting. . . So here I was, wanting to try dry embossing and not having a light box, what's a person to do? I have tendonitis and didn't want to push the pain with holding anything up to the TV, Monitor or window. . . so I had a slight dilema. Now we're talking that I couldn't live without dry embossing RIGHT NOW!!!! Not in a week or two when the light box is arriving I put my template down on my cutting mat, taped the paper on top of the template. . . put some wax paper on top and held it down while I took the back of my embossing tool and rubbed it quite firmly accross the surface of my paper. . . the image came thru faintly, I then embossed it with the back of the stylus. . . then sharpened some of the edges as I wanted. It turned out really well, and I personally don't think that you could tell whether I had used a light box or not. One of the advantages of this method is that you are stretching to paper gently and gradually and gives a soft touch. I'm really pleased with it and love the innovation that necessity forces us to. Love n hugs Bonnie 2 - ---------------------------- > I was reading over Tyra's files about dry embossing and wanted to add > this. I scratch my stylus in a clear candle to make it easier to rub on > the paper. Just my $.02 :) > > Susan > -- > Susan aka CoffeeStamper - --------------------------- Dry embossing was demonstrated at card club meeting today. The demonstrator stores her brass stencils in a small album for 4" X 6" photos ($2 at M's). One more elusive stamping accessory under control! Love it! :-D She colored some if the stencils with chalks that come in boxes in an oval in tray. She applies them with 5mm pom-poms held in one of those alligator-clip-on-a-stick thingies. (My friend says, "You know, a roach clip.") We all decided that she should just leave a pom-pom in each chalk box. Her samples were neat. Visualise a card of dark cardstock with wired 2" ribbon down one side, and a design dry embossed on white placed in the middle slightly toward the other side. She also had neat bows of very narrow and sheer wired ribbon accenting some cards. Dry embossing on white vellum and layering it over an interesting colored background is so elegant. So many ideas, so little time! Happy stamping and stencilling, Stitching Stamper aka sladdsch@interserv.com - ----------------------------------- From: Jim & Kari If you don't have a lightbox to do your dry embossing, use a glass tabletop and shine a flashlight up through it. I did this until I got a lightbox and it's the same thing. Once, I even took glass from a picture frame and did it that way.
