Can't wait to play but first I'll have to play with the elegant swan gliding in among the grasses. Will be so much fun to watercolor this one. AND I received the horse in kind of a Western style - very nice. I'll have to find a swap to use this one. AND two buffalo stamps also great SW style designs and really quite wonderful. AND on top of that was one more um in this wonderful package. Now with all this Tonya had to be pretty sneeky since I'd figured after last months ums were from Buffalo Stampede from my SS I'd go ahead and order a few that I wanted because I'd checked out the web page for some new things and there were a couple new ones. So Tonya had to work that out so I didn't end up with two Raindeers!!! Just love that guy!! So sneaky aren't you!! Loved everything! Thanks to my SS.

But, you'll get your Card, when I am Good and Ready (not sick anymore) to send it, OK?! Debi-Ellen "Queen of the Glitter Goddesses" Giggles' WORST nightmare!!!! (I love it!!)

I ususally emboss a larger piece of card stock, let it cool, (you could weight it down with a book after it cools), and then trim it - carefully - just before putting it on the card. I use glue most of the time and then weight it down again. It is very fragile and will crack if handled too much. - -------------- Does anyone have any trouble with the square of emboosed powder curling? Each time I have done it, the edges curl up so much that it cracks when I mount it to the final project. I usually go ahead and let it crack, miracle tape it on, and then give it a quick shot of heat again to seal up the cracked lines. I would love to hear tips for avoiding it in the first place! AlphaBecky greene10@mto.infi.net - ------------------ From: D1derly@aol.com Hi everyone! Here's something different to try if you haven't already... I was coloring in some balloons with Wet Looks Embossing markers (I stamped them with dye-based ink on glossy sticker paper) and some of my more-used colors are starting to dry out and leave "lines". So I colored very slowly, making vertical lines right next to each other, and that took care of the "lined" look, pretty much, but some parts were drying before I could get the EP on it! Out of frustration, I took my EP container and held it above the colored-in balloon, and tapped out a little mound of clear EP onto the balloon. It is really funky to watch when it melts-- it beads up and runs downhill, and looks like it won't work, but it eventually smooths itself out and looks like I triple embossed it! It does crack if handled too much, just like the other triple embossing techniques' finished products. One could use their fingernail to get between the sticker paper backing and the paper, peel, and gently mount it to a thicker piece of cardstock to keep it firmer...? - ----------------------- Okay - you asked for it - the triple embossing technique. I learned this in a class I took from Catherine of Papers by Catherine during the Atlanta stamp show last November. It's so-o-o easy and gives a beautiful effect! The directions are straight off Catherine's printed directions. Stamp image on cardstock and let dry thoroughly. (Our ivory cardstock creates results that look like antique porcelain.) Use a heat tool to speed up the process. FABRICO Fabric Ink does not smear after drying so it is suitable for this technique. Dab on embossing ink [clear] with an applicator top or small sponge. (Do not drag the sponge or the ink on the stamped image will smear.) Sprinkle on clear embossing powder and heat to melt. Let cool and sponge on more ink. This second time you sponge on more embossing, you don't have to worry about smearing the image because it is sealed under the melted powder. Sprinkle on holographic or psychedelic powder and heat to melt. Let cool and repeat the embossing process a third time with clear powder. This third layer fills in all the uneven spaces and imparts a deep gloss to your image. Trim all around the embossed image with scissors or paper cutter. Mount the embossed image on a piece of cardstock cut from one of our Recycled Postcards, only slightly larger than the image. Use this shiny element as the focal piece for your collage card, or add 2 or 3 more layers of backing to it and use as jewelry. Now - for my discoveries - Using a rainbow pad on the stamp gives a really neat color effect under the embossing layers! When I made the seashells, they looked a little "bland" so after I cut the image out, I "rolled" the edges on the clear embossing pad, then dusted the edges with gold EP and melted it again. Be careful when heating though - lay the image flat on your table (preferably with some paper padding under it), then heat - DO NOT TOUCH THE IMAGE UNTIL IT HAS DRIED AND COOLED COMPLETELY. If you mess with it before the gold has set, you'll smear everything! Try this method - it is so easy and so fast and the results are amazing! If you have the opportunity to take one of Catherine's classes (usually given at a local store during the days of a stamp show/convention), be sure to sign up. We learned several great techniques and she showed LOTS of examples! It was great fun! Oh, she and I also discovered that her husband and I graduated from high school together - I came home afterwards and found his picture in my yearbook! Shows what a really small world we live in! Have fun! LindaSueN@aol.com (Linda Neumann) - ----------------------- << Do you color the image first, or just emboss the outlined image? >> In the class we did not color the image and I haven't colored any since then either. Again, I always use a rainbow pad so that there is some color for the holographic to pick up. Try coloring - see what happens. Just remember, sponge the first layer of clear embossing ink (tap, tap, tap it on until the entire surface is covered). Do not rub it on or the colors and ink will smear. Once you put the clear EP on and heat it, the colors and ink are sealed and you can then rub the other layers of embossing ink. Let me know if you are successful with the coloring.

I had a little card I had already stamped on with dye ink rainbow. I tap taptapped the first coat and heated. Then I coated again with embossing ink and (having no halographic powder) put on glitter ep. When that was cooked, I coated once more with the ink and covered with clear ep. Well, after 3 coats, I have a pretty image with embedded glitter which actually acts sort of like holographic, but there are lots of pits all over the card still and it feels a little oily. So, I've gone in a wiped another layer of embossing ink on it and coated once again with the clear ep and heated it up again. This time I kept it hot while all the ep actually bubbled like it was boiling and the paper was starting to smoke. I think the layers below were remelting again. Well anyway, it now has many fewer (but still some) pits in it and it's not oily any more either. But some seems to have melted itself through to be back of the card as well as the front. I guess I'm not doing something right. A little later: Well, got to thinking about this, and decided to try again. So I stamped up another card and had at it. I think I figured out what I did wrong the first time. I used TOO MUCH embossing ink. This time I used a VERY VERY thin coat each time and it worked perfectly and I got just exactly what I thought I should have gotten after reading the original description. I wasn't working with an embossing ink pad. I had squeezed the EI directly onto a sponge, and it was pretty thick and gooey. By tonight it had soaked into the sponge more and so went on in a much thinner coat, and therefore, the powder melted smoothly as it is supposed to do. Anyway, this effect is SPECTACULAR. It realy looks like the glitter is suspended in the middle of the embossed image. Very 3D-ish. I wonder if we tried this technique on clear heat resistant acrylic sheets we might make our own 3D-vinyl sheets. A thought. I don't have any of that kind of acryllic right now. Anyone want to try it? StamPatti, vsa & vsr - ---------------------------------- I found a little bit of a trick for triple embossing that seems to work - at least on small items. But you have to be quick for it to work. Emboss the image the first time, as usual. While it's still hot (like immediately!) pour your second layer of EP right over the hot embossed image (no additional embossing ink or glycerin needed) Blast it with the heat gun again. The image will smooth out a lot. Keeping the heat on it until you're ready to put the third layer of ep on. While it's still hot (like immediately - again!) pour your third layer of EP right over the hot embossed image (no additional embossing ink or glycerin needed now either) Blast it with the heat gun again. The image will smooth out and look and feel like glass. In other words, if you can get your image from the heat gun to the EP really fast, you don't even need to use additional embossing ink. The hot embossed image will HOLD the loose EP and it will melt right in when it's heated. I got some really neat looking images using this method. StamPatti@juno.com - vsa & vsr - -------------------------------- From: feathersmc@juno.com (G M) When triple embossing, do NOT add more embossing juice after the first coat. Just do the first embossing and while its still hot, either dip the item in the ep or sprinkle on more. Long as its still hot it'll stick fine and you should have no problems layering your ep this way But, if you keep adding embossing juice between each layer, you'll end up with the stuff migrating to the top of your piece and leaving an ugly "oil slick" that looks and feels awful and has the potential to ruin that which you've worked so hard on. This is as per Mary Jo McGraw - -------------------------------------- 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...
