Subject: RS: TAN-ish: The Cinderella Company
I got this cool flyer yesterday from this place called the Cinderella
Company.
It says "Small Treasures" on it, and what they have is tiny paper stuff
like match
covers, matchbox labels, cinderella stamps (postage, not real), poster
stamps,
cigar bands, etc. I don't know how I got on their mailing list, but I'm
sure glad I
did! These would make GREAT collage items! Their address is:
The Cinderella Company
P.O. Box 265
Sykesville, MD 21784
(410) 549-2412
I don't know ANYTHING about them or their service, so don't take this
post as
an endorsement. I just thought it looked interesting, and I'll probably
get some-
thing or other to try.
:o)

Subject: Re: rubbertown-l: Re: RS: Desktop Publisher?
I do web pages at my 9-5 job and as a part time business - Check out
http://www.primenet.com/marmotgraphics/
I agree that you can do web pages by converting a word document into HTML,
and you can also drive cross country in a Yugo Car. I wouldn't advise it,
especially for a business.
There's alot more to creating a web site than HTML alone. You need to
consider graphics, especially for a business for RS where most of your
potential customers are graphically minded (or they wouldn't be doing RS).
There is also organization, a poorly organized site will turn people off.
You can also add marketing elements into the html/graphics that will
increase the possibility of being seen by the search engines.
I've seen alot of RS websites that are very poorly done, and I'd bet that
most of them are done by people that work for or own the company, and want
to save a few dollars. Consider this, How much money are you investing in
ISP charges, and other computer costs? Is it worth saving a couple
hundred dollars to have a site done by someone who knows what they are
doing? (and yes, MG does do simple sites (no secure ordering/cgi) for
a couple hundred dollars - see
http://www.primenet.com/marmotgraphics/rubber/ for a site that we have
under construction.

Subject: RS: Heat Embossing Tips/Techs #1 9/23/97
I use the embossing pad on the paper and then emboss. But one thing
I bought before I was hardly into stamping was the Hero Arts bottle
of embossing ink which has a padded applicator end. Couldn't stand
the darn thing, but now I use it to run across the paper and emboss.
Sometimes I run it across again and emboss again so it looks like tile.
And I also use it to ink huge stamps and then use fat Marvy's to color.
This works really good on my jeans stamp.

Try a glue pen. Anything that makes embossing powder stick will work.
You can even write with a glue pen and emboss it.

I finally used up my old Top Boss pad and had to get a new one too.
So I went to get a new one and found this.....
By Stamp-N-Stuff, a Boss Gloss embossing bottle with a sponge top
applicator! It is the Best!! I don't think I will ever buy the pad
again!
I get a much better result with the bottle. It gives more control
over how much ink you put on the stamp and where. I don't get any
more of the little "dry spots" that I used to get with the pad.
It only cost me 3.00 and I do believe they are readily available
at most stamp stores.

- --------------------------------
Hey, all you REALLY need is the basic ingredient in all those embossing
things: glycerine. That's all! Get it at the drug store or pharmacy.
Comes in
a little bottle, clear, kind of thick. Get a tiny little paintbrush, or
use a Q-Tip
to apply it. Something tells me that'd be way cheaper, too, than all
that fancy
stuff.
Robin
- -----------------------------
I'm here at moostamps house and she is telling me that is you mix one
part alcohol and three parts glycerine together it will dry correctly
and won't make your paper oily. It works good, I tried it!
Sandi at moostamps!
- ---------------------
Embossing powder comes in different granulations... the majority of
embossing powders you're going to find are middle of the road as they try to
cover most needs... if you were doing very fine detailed stamping always,
you'd need a finer granulation than if you were mostly embossing solid
areas. I have the specific information in a file at the warehouse if you
want more detail on exactly what the granulations are.
If you wanted to get into a specific granulation, I could order it but the
minimum I could get would be a pound... maybe there would be others who'd be
interested in sharing if you didn't want a whole pound.
We carry all the Ranger Embossing Powders... we're really their only
distributor of their own line... but many of the embossing powders out there
are manufactured by Ranger and they put the other company's name on the
bottles... or the pads or whatever since the majority of their business has
been traditionally custom label... whenever you see an article or ad from
Ranger, they usually list Viva Las Vegastamps! as their distributor as they
don't deal in small quantities themselves and refer people to us if they
call Ranger direct.

My web page (http://members.tripod.com/~Sunrise/) lists all of Judi-kins
colors and prices (including their one pound sizes). In fact, I'm
running a sale right now! Buy two get the third free! Sale ends 12/15.
I am very satisfied with Judi-kins embossing powders.
The only ones that I'm not fond of are Black Diamond and Black
Opal...and that might be the way I'm using them. If anyone can tell me
how they like to use them, I'd love to hear it! (what kind of ink
underneath? what kind of stamp? what kind of paper?)
:-D awn
- -------------------------------
Go to a drafting supply store and buy Pounce. It is under $4. Put some in a
piece of muslin and tie closed. Rub this on your paper before embossing. It
coats the paper and solves the problem of the EP sticking everywhere. Tonya

doesn't always work for me.. not just glitter either (I'm not a large fan

I've even done it with regular paper...you just have to be really fast. My
printer is only about 6 feet from my stamping table, so before I print, I
make sure there is nothing in the way, print, grab, and scoot! The powder
is all set up on the table ready to dunk or pour. It also helps to set the
printer on the best print setting available. It puts more ink on that way.
Sometimes the results are wonderful! Sometimes they are just ok.

From: D1derly@aol.com
I was inspired by my husband's tie!!!!
I was trying to create some "masculine" cards for a local card swap with a
"Father's Day" theme, but I was out of ideas and limited on "non-feminine"
stamps. As I was cleaning the house, I picked up one of my husband's ties
(that, of course, was not in it's place, but draped over the back of a
chair instead...) and looked at it closely. It's a beatiful, realistic
nature-scene tie, with a huge grizzly bear fishing in a stream towards the
bottom and some mountains and sky above. Over the top of it all, some
mountain animals are embroidered in clear thread, so you only see them when
you look from a certain angle, or when the light strikes it in a certain
way. I thought, "Hey! I could do that! All I'd have to do is create the
nature scene and emboss things over the top with clear ink and clear
powder! (Or Hidden Color Satin in silver or purple). Then, I saw these
tie-shaped bookmarks by Comotion, and the idea was soon a reality! I
sponged grass and sky with stencils, and stamped a deer (on some and a
moose on others) in black over the grass (the stamps I used are drawn so
that the animals' feet are hidden in the grass). Then I used a Top Boss
tinted (clear) embossing ink pad and stamped mountains all over the whole
thing, and embossed it with clear powder. I was thrilled with the results!
Just thought I'd share! Thanks for reading! deb

While it's true to say that pigment ink won't dry on glossy, it's rather
misleading because it's not the whole truth. The whole truth is that
pigment ink won't dry on unabsorpent surfaces. Glossy stock and
matte-coated stock won't work, but neither will a surface like a
plastic/acrylic vellum. And I've even experienced cases where the paper I
was using was too absorpent, and drew in the pigment ink so quickly that I
couldn't emboss it (on the other hand, it did dry, so I just left it
unembossed).
- -------------------------------
From: Shelley <threasbrun@earthlink.net>
I have been using a top boss pad for my embossing
needs and I have noticed it seems very gloopy, thick,
you know. When I use pigment ink and emboss over that
the ink doesn't grab as much powder as the top boss.
For some things, like double or triple embossing,
or a bold stamp, this is fine, but I don't line the effect
with my finer eps and fine line and text stamps.

Fellow Addicts:
I recently attended the Rubber stamp convention, had a wonderful time:D I
must share with you the most AWESOME technique Stampa Rosa was demo'ing, it
is so EASY it is SINFUL.
You need:
Heat resistant double sided sticker paper. Also known to us VIVA LAS VEGAS
fans as "Wonder Tape".
Some VERY fine Embossing powders. Stampa Rosa of course used their own, in
a VERY cool container which was actually SIX clear plastic cups stacked on
top of each other so there was only one lid. they used their very awesome
"metals" collection.
A gold or other complimentary pigment pad (complimenting the embossing
powder)
a stamp
Directions:
Cut a piece of the heat resistant "wonder" tape, she used a 2x2 square.
stick one side on a piece of card stock
Remove the protective "film" from the other side of the wonder tape.
Place gold embossing powder on the wonder tape
Heat and watch it melt
Do this step of adding gold embossing powder and heating a total of 3 times
The fourth time take a "bit" of the copper embossing powder, sprinkle on
top of the gold; add some silver powder to this also
Heat the above and watch it melt
On the fifth time take clear embossing powder
Heat and watch melt
At this point you have a total of 5 layers of embossed powder which has
melted together and looks like "molten" gold.
Take your stamp and ink well with your pigment ink
Stamp in the middle of your embossed creation
Place on layered card stock.
The result is an incredibly elegant gorgeous creation which is EASY to do.
It looks like a image in wax.
Hope this makes sense. It was so BEAUTIFUL:D
Good luck,
Ellen

While I was making my pins for Stampaway, I decided to play......I got
out some of Sammi's smallish playdough cookie cutters, used a Stampin'
Stuff bottle of embossing fluid to roll on the thin edge, added EP and
embossed......What a neat outlined image for backgrounds, wrapping
paper, or whatever......I 'm sure I am not the first person that
thought of this, but it was fun to do!!! I did a ghost, a XMAS tree and
a bunny......

From: Kate <iris@madbbs.com>
As I was looking through a stamping book, I came across the section on
embossing.
It says that embossing ink can be mixed 50/50 with water and used with
calligraphy pens.
It also said that you can use an erasable pen (like a Papermate
Erasermate) to emboss with. I haven't tried it, so I don't know how
long the ink stays wet for, but they say that you can write an entire
letter and then emboss it (we'll see about that!). This would be nice
for making a thin border line or signing your name in gold inside a
black card.
It also talked about using clear EP on black cardstock. This I've
tried, it gives you a rich shiny black on matte black look. It looks
classy!
- ---------------------------
When ever I try to emboss a detailed stamp it comes out all yucky and
you can't see the details any more. So does this mean (a) I shouldn't
try to use a detailed stamp (b) I'm using yucky embossing powder (Hippo
Heart) (c) I'm using a yucky embossing pad (DOTS) or (d) none of the
above. Could some of you experts out they share your secrets with me
please and which brand of powders and stamp pads to you use. Thanks....
Blessings to you.....Gloria

There are two things you can do to combat this problem. The first is to
use detail ep. This is ep made especially for detailed stamps and it does
make a big difference. The second thing to do is to use colored ink and
clear powder. The reason you lose the detail is that the powder melts
together. When you use clear pwder the same thing happens *but* it doesn't
matter because it's clear. The color is underneath and the color maintains
the detail.
Another thing to experiment with is the paper you're using. Glossy paper
will just about always give you more details. I'm not crazy about glossy
and I use matte coat which also gives good details. Try not to get your
stamp too wet. Finally, use a cold heat gun (that is, one that hasn't been
warmed up for a few minutes). In the beginning the air won't be hot enough
to ment the powder and will blow some off. This technique really helped me
when I was embossing a detailed sunflower. Enough blew off so that more
detail showed through.
Ultimately though, detailed stamps aren't the best to emboss. No matter
what you do you will lose some detail. Sometimes this is OK. Sometimes
its not and I use dye ink because I really want every little detail.

Subject: RS: TAN Web sties professionals? Desktop Publisher?
Susan,
I'm sorry that I have to disagree with you, there are 1000's
maybe 10000's of bad sites out here created by so called
professionals.
Web page design is in my option is the current high price tag
rip off. The over use of hard to read colors (like red on black,
and blue on black, etc), graphics that move for no reason, and
frames/tables for the sake of them and not to pass information
to the person looking at them. One needs to remember if their
site is to be for someone to be enterained of to find the
anwser to a question. Some of the best sites for finding
information are almost totally text, and with the new word
processors you can do tables, graphics and all the things
that you are calling nice.
To prove my point all you have to do is look at some of the
top prize winning sites of large corprate america and see how
hard it is to find what you want to know. I spend hours
every day on the web for work and there are a lot of things
that when I see them start loading I just go somewhere else,
it is not worth my time to wade thru it.

Last night I had a glorious time trying out that technique where you
emboss with thick ep, throw in a few other colors, maybe sprinkle on a
little gold and then plunge your stamp into the whole shebang. The first
time I used Marvey black and very little of the black showed up. So I
heated up the whole thing again, melted out the image and tired it using
my black colorbox. Wow!! It looked wonderful. Really rich black everywhere
it was supposed to be. But of course, the colorbox wouldn't dry because I
couldn't emboss it. Ahhhh. How do I make this work?
- ------------------------------------
From: Barbara Holl <bholl@halcyon.com>
You asked about what to do after stamping with pigment ink. After the
"tile" has a chance to cool and set up, use Krylon to spray the whole
thing. It will set the ink and should not rub off then.
