I thought I'd add my 100 bytes worth and let y'all know that I collect hot sauces! Well, I *try* to collect them - I usually end up sucking those bottles dry! I have at least 30 bottles on hand right now (most of them opened) - lack of space in Eric's fridge and in my former roommate's fridge is what has prohibited my collection from growing right now! Once I move into my apartment (I'm not homeless anymore - yay! Nightmares of me being stopped by police for speeding and me being written up in the local paper's police log as "Nisa Yuthasastrakosol - of no fixed address" have been haunting me regularly!) I'll have room to grow! That's about all I really collect besides rubberstamps. I never really understood why people collect things anyway. I don't know why I collect either - I must've been a dragon in a previous life... Nisa/Teapot - ------------------------------------------- *Nisa*: What?! $15.00 for dinner?

How *dare* you say stampers are impatient ... considering what your customers have had to go through to (sometimes) get their paid-for product ... I'd say stampers are gems. Don't lay your poor business practices on stampers being impatient. Obstacles? Some other vendors on this list have obstacles, too ... and they deal with them, and with their businesses. If you have too many obstacles to allow you to be effective in your business, I wonder *why* you even subject yourself and your customers to the demands of being a vendor on this list ... and on other lists, I might add. And ... while I'm at it .... don't go quoting scripture to anyone, unless you practice what you preach. >>And for those of you that "I" owe money to, again, please be patient. << Patient?

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.

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.

I either didn't make myself clear or my original post wasn't seen by everyone. It took 4 months of lies on Lisa's part and lots of threats and finally action on my part to get my refund. I sent a letter to the Better Business Bureau and a copy to Lisa, within a week I got my refund. When her check cleared my bank I posted a message to the list saying that I recieved my refund. I just wanted everyone to know I'm not a war with her any longer, but strongly suggest to those of you that are to seek help through the post office in getting your refund. Since she is continuing to sell items on the list, and people still don't have their orders filled/refunded that stronger action needs to be taken by those in a position to do so. Thank you to everyone who supported my actions. Good luck to everyone still fighting the battle. Don't let her win the war.

DUH! Actually I should say Gary and I collect seashells. This started back in 1974 when we moved to Hawaii. We have shells in every room of our home and my car tags say *SEASHL*. I have lots of shell jewelry that has been mostly birthday and anniversary gifts. Guess I'm sort of a walking shell exhibit. I guess you could also say I collect Anne Geddes items. Love her babies and have Anne Geddes calendars, datebooks, cards, etc. SeashlStamper This message was from Marsha.Braymen@ORYX.COM - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

(In case anyone wants to know I did the black embossed Halloween card. I couldn't decide where to put my name and email address and as I recall I put it next to the caldron.) Well, on to the descriptions--- Jimi-did a garden theme with sunflowers and garden implements featured on each new opening. The coloring has a watercolor feel, but I think she used Tombows and blending pens. T. Durn--Great use of the rollergraph. This card features the four seasons. Each page has 4 different scenes in each "box" --lots of stamping on this one. The glitter you used is really shiny. Is this Art Institute???? Kathleen (KalicoKathy)--was true to her name and gave us different sewing and cat scenes, including a piece of fabric ribbon--a really neat accent. Love the cat angel stamp. (The Kbob in my email address is really our cat, so I appreciate the cat images.) Lori Nelson-did a different shaped never ending card. Just when I think I have one thing down here's another shape!!! Folded one way it has 8 sides, but can fold into a plus also. She used an overall design with swirls and stars. I just have to share with you what my daughter said--"This really is a never ending card." Because of the overall design you really don't know where you began or where you ended. Ardyth Brown--First, you have a great sense of humor. Then you used those stamps I love from Art Impression--those crazy people. Your back grounds are incredable. The colors are beautiful. The detail that you put in your work is amazing. I will stare at these for a long time to try to figure out how you got all those wonderful colors. Can I email you later with all my questions?????? Thanks to our hostess Michelle Barnes for all your work on the swap. (Thanks also for resending the instructions to me this last week.) I hope others post about these same cards because I like to read the descriptions. - --Sue Bentley This message was from "The Bentley's" - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

Point your web browser at http://crafts.dm.net/ . Vicky, I am not on any vendors lists yet, because am brand new vendor. If you would send me a questionnaire, would love to fill one out. With all this mess going on and people being dishonest, I think everyone has gotten paranoid, so we need something. Okay, paranoid is a bad word, let's say very very cautious. I am very anxious to prove myself, so any and all ask away.
