Tyvek envelopes are wonderful! All but indestructable (sp-too lazy to look it up). Priority mail envys are made from tyvek- the USPS has a web site and you can order envys from them - If I'm not mailing priority I turn them inside out.. ------------------------------ From: Joyful Stamper Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 21:36:59 -0800 Subject: Re: SSS ---- My very first!!!!

Next thing I know Baggie will want to come. She's been saying she should come to Gary, IN one day. One day she told me to get a check in the mail that night....well she asked me, Baggie doesn't tell. I stamped her a card with that Mars Tokyo woman holding her mail & a gun and Stampo's three women in a huddle....saying, "Look, she'll risk her life for stamps!" Told Baggie that I guessed she didn't realize Gary is the murder capital of the country!! Tandy is in suburban Merrillville, though, so its much safer. Feathers will be all right!!!Suzanne ------------------------------ From: REILLYFOUR@aol.com Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 23:33:40 -0500 (EST) Subject: RE: RS ideas for beginners Ann, Hi! Here are some good books on rubberstamping..."Rubberstamping...Easy as 1..2..3.." And Beyond The Basics". Both are by "Michele Abel". I thought they were both very helpfull when I wasa beginner on stamping.. Some of my other stamping pen-pals also thought they were good too. I use them for reference books now.

Ireceived so many great things. In my box was a Stamp a Cube memo pad. I've never seen one of these. Can't wait to try it out. Next there's a spool of beautiful spring floral wired ribbon, a gold and a silver paint mark( I have many colors of these but not gold or silver, good choice SSS), dry line adhesive. I was just thinking of buying this , now I don't have to Does anyone know if it is acid free? ( Thought it might be good to try in my scrapbooks) and I also got a refill for it . Thanks! I got a cute stamp with a bunny pulling a lamb ( I love bunnies). There's still more . I got a piece of penscore. I've seen this but never tried it. Anyone got any good tips on using this? Also in the box was alot of zip lock baggies, I'm assuming these are for gel cards right??? I haven't tried these yet either. got some great St. Patrick's Day stuff shamrock confetti stickers and clover doilies(really kool) and an envelope opener for all the wonderful mail I'm going to receive from all the swaps I've joined. There was also heart confetti included and last but not least two great pieces of tissue paper one with bunnies on it and the other with suns, moons and clouds. I can't wait for the weekend to play with all my new things. Thanks soooooo much for all the great stuff!!!!

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.
