Oh, and postage stamps...started that to try to interest my son in geography...but it's addictive. And pocketbooks!!! well, they're not really a collection, because once they're read, they go on to other people, but we have enough to fill a library at any one time...and with rubber stamping, who has time to read?

Is this disucssion only about stealing phrases out of Hallmark cards? Most of the stampers I know of are pretty bright cookies and can come up with MUCH better ideas than those Hallmark folks. Better to stretch your own creativity maybe and end up with superior resluts. Do people use rubberstamp catalogs as quote refrence books and copy the quotes and sayings onto their computers and use those in their cards rather than buying the word stamps? If so, there is a bigger issue than whether this is legal or not legal. Quotes are obviously not the property of anyone. But it takes many hours of research to find the collections you see in catalogs. I read and reject hundreds and hundreds of quotes when I am selecting them for my catalog. MOST are not useful. By the time they appear in a catalog, a lot of time has gone into them. The ones that I have made up myself DO belong to me as much as an image belongs to someone who draws it. You can as easily say that an image can be scanned into the computer and a few lines changed as you can say that a saying can be copied in a different font. But what does the person who made these available for scanning get out of it? Nothing. So, why in the world would they CONTINUE to produce? They won't. Ultimately the source will dry up or at least be greatly reduced because nobody works just for the heck of it. I am not at all picky about my stamps being used without copyright restrictions so long as the stamp is purchased. However, if catalogs are being used as a source of quotes this does not seem fair, whether legal or not. Ultimately,if companies discover they are losing business, they are bound to take steps such as: not offering many word stamps, charging $8 to $10 for their catalogs which are being used as reference books and not as "catalogs," offering word stamps in a separate catalog, raising the prices of word stamps to compensate, or selling them only in grabbags. I guess what I am saying is that abuses, whether legal or not, lead to undesirable results for consumers because businesses will always react to the market. When the stamps are not purchased the market for them is reduced and they will dwindle or disappear. People who like to have a large variety of stamps to choose from at reasonable prices are the ones who ultimately lose. I would ask stampers to ask themselves not only whether uses are legal, but if they are right. Each stamper has to decide the climate that they want to create.

Oh I guess you'd say cookbooks too because I have over 300 of them. Then theres the hat pins I seem to accumulate, in the closet I seem to have lots of unspun fibers and the yarn lots of yarn. I design sweaters so yarn is here in my office, in my closets in my spare room and in the shed. Anyone need any yarn?? Now it seems to be stamps and paper, oh but lets not forget the embelishments.

I think they just collect information.. like what you sent them.. and then if someone inquires about the company, they will say we've had a complaint.. and like that. like if you're fixin' to get your house painted, and you collect your estimates, then decide who you'd most like to do it, then you can call the BBB and ask them what they've got on this company?

When I got my first job at 17, my grandmother gave me the thimble that her mother gave her when she got her first job working for a hat maker. That thimble is about 80 years old now and that started the collection. I have about 75 thimbles and all have a story or memory to go with them. My husband dosen't mind the collection - - it takes up alot less room than the stamps and stuff.

Now we have them hanging on a curtain in our camper and a banner in the house. Along that same line- we collect all the "swaps" from years of Girl Scout events. I'm constantly collecting craft ideas , especially small type of items that I can share with Girl Scouts and Sunday School. I finally gave up saving all the craft magazines and now simply pull out the pages that interest me and file in one of many craft notebooks. My only hope is that I live long enough to retire and have time to try them all out (and that my hands, eyes, etc. still work!!) Of course, we never know what new collection could be started in our house, since hubby loves flea markets and second hand stores. He's really brought home some incredible items at times, but alot of the other stuff I hope to sneak right back out in our yard sale. Maybe I should let you all know when so you can all rush right down to pick up these "treasures"!!! :> Stampin'Scout This message was from "stampin'scout" - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

The best way to use it, in my opinion, is to do your blending of color ON THE TIP of the pen, not on paper. Touch the blender onto your waterbased marker, then apply this lightened color to your work. If I'm coloring a leaf, I'll touch the tip of the marker to a yellow marker and then touch a green marker tip. This gives me a light green. With this color on the blender tip, I can apply the color where I want it. I can then take my marker and add darker bits here and there. It dries pretty quickly. I then go back into the area for fine line detail. I've had less success in blending colors that have already been applied to a card surface. You might try it for yourself. I think it would work best on a gloss cardstock that would slow absorption. The softer papers will just suck up the liquid like a sponge. The Dove blender works very well, too, and has a different composition, so it's jucier. You can also buy a pack of replacement tips to freshen the point as it wears down over time. There is also a replacement fluid, so the Dove pen can last forever. - ----------------------- From: Tntrilling@aol.com I use only one pen. I have blending instructions for the tombow blender on my website and in my Buffalo Stampede Catalog. I use blending paper or watercolor paper for the best effect. Tonya Under Tonya's tips on my web site: http://members.aol.com/Tonyascraf/tonyascr.html - ------------------------- From: ruthann@key-net.net (Ruthann Gigliotti) You only need one Blender Pen. When finished with one color you just mark on a scrap paper till the tip is clean. Then go on to next color. Ruthann - --------------------------- From: Stampnred@aol.com you use the blender over colored pencils. It gives it a soft effect and blends colors together.. I use mine ALL the time. Be sure to wipe the tip off when changing colors on your artwork. - ----------------------------- From: Rubberdz@aol.com I was told to use the inside top of an inkpad (or other plastic/metal water repellent surface) and "scribble" my marker on to it. That will create little beads of marker ink. Then take the blender pen, dip it in the beads of ink and color onto my card. When it's time to change colors, scribble the blender pen onto a towel/napkin and start all over-- - -------------------------- From: Jim & Kari The one I bought only cost 3 dollars and I love it!!! You can buy extra nibs (tips) and it's refillable!!! I would highly recommend this over the tombow any day but this is just my opinion!! You can do all kinds of neat things and it's nice and juicy and works great. I color a marvy on a piece of acrylic (from my positioner) and then use my blender pen to get just the right amount of color. You can also color on your image and drag the color. Works both ways and I really like it. Use it all the time!!! Sorry I don't have any info on where to buy it though, got it at a convention. They have a web page though. Check there. - ------------------------------ From: ConnieKo@aol.com Both the Tombow and the Dove are great pens. I have both and also sell both (though not retail, sorry! check your favorite RS source). They are quite different so if possible you might want to try both to see what works best for you. Dove is juicier, has replacement nibs for when they wear down eventually, and is also refillable. Tombow is not as wet, so it's more controllable in tiny spaces of your artwork, and the pen body and nib are thinner. I like both blenders. - -------------------- From: Jeff Hitchin >Doesn't the Dove Blender work with colored pencils too??? And >markers????? Not regular colored pencils. You can use it with watercolor pencils, though, and markers. Also, glossy paper doesn't seem to take a Dove blender very well. I've used it on watercolor stock and Bristol vellum. Some coated papers will also not take the blender easily. - -------------------------- Subject: Tombow Blending Tips/techs From: tntrilling@juno.com (Tonya L. Rilling) Supplies: Watercolor/Blending Paper Tombow Markers Tombow Blending Pen N00 Open Fine line stamp Base card Embossing Powder 1.Cut base card paper, fold and measure. 2.Cut Watercolor paper to a size that will fit on the base card with a 1/4" border of base card showing around the watercolor paper. 3.Stamp your image on the watercolor paper and embosss. 4.Take the tombow marker of your choice and begin working in a small area, draw lines with the marker where you want darker highlights. 5.Take the blender pen and in a circular motion blend out from the highlight marker and pull color to surrounding areas. Continue with that color highlighting and blending until all the areas with that color are completed. 6. Clean the blender by coloring on a scrap piece of paper to remove last color before using on the next color. *For creating new colors or just for a more watercolor look you can highlight one area with several coordinating colors before blending. *Before mixing colors in an area try them on a scrap piece of paper. *Blending pens run out of ink more quickly than colored pens because of the large amounts of space you use them on while blending. *You can use a lighter color of the same shade to blend colors then go over the area with the blender pen when complete to blend any lines and shade.
