Subject: Re: Missing email from different servers....
I am just playing around here and found this morning that on my MSN
account I got 40+ messages and one from baggie regarding her teeth and
the babysitting etc. Funny thing when I downloaded my mail from
Concentric, which is the main ISP for me, there were 80+ messages, but
none from the baglady....Can anyone tell me why different providers
would have such a difference in messages from the same list let alone
why one server would have a particular person and the other one
wouldn't????? I am really confused.

Have you tried colored lint from your dryer? Some clothes (especially
sweats) make lovely colored lint. I have a dark teal sweatsuit that make
marvelous lint. Also a pink one. When I'm trying for paper lint colors,
I try to do my washloads all in one color at a time to keep the colors
separated. Of course, there's always the regular run-o-the-mill gray
too.

Hi folks - please be patient if sending me email
or hoping for replies. I'll barely be able to log on
over the next few days as I have an offsite (away
from computer, no laptop here) 2 day gig followed
by the 2 day convention (that I'm still preparing for).
Thank you all for all the notes of support concerning
misunderstandings on other boards - I just won't be
able to personally say hello & thank to each of you
till early next week.
Be patient - I will answer what I can - if a question
is about the show - please post and someone else may
be able to answer me. Forgive me for being unavailable
for a tad - not to worry, orders are still going out & are
totally current. I will be scanning email for orders - be
sure to put AGLAIA in the subject for me to catch it or
call 1-888-AGLAIA-2 (without me on the computer it
will be easier to get through :-)
Have a fun week & "see" you all soon
(actually see Bay Area folks very soon, everyone else
"see" early next week).
Have Fun Stamping!

be some stamping going on (not too late coz some of us are going back to
do it all again on Sunday).
If any of you are planning to come - I live in Mtn View, about 20 +/-
miles from the convention center - please RSVP. It will be fun and a
chance to get to know other list people. Pass the word to other vendors

I have a friend who does woodworking and often stamps on the
stuff he makes. It kinda depends on the finish, I would use clear
embossing powder to help seal the image.
I have stamped on wooden items (unfinished) with dye ink and the
ink sank into the wood and bled a little.

Subject: RS: PotW Vellum Intermediate
The overwhelming majority vote was for Vellum and what to do with it.
The project will be a cool easter card and at the end of the project,
there are several other things to do with Vellum.
For those who have been having trouble heat embossing on the Vellum, this
is the Vellum I've got and have had no trouble with it at all. The
company is called Canso and the paper comes in a pad with 50 sheets. The
weight is 55 pounds. I bought my pad for $13.00, prices may vary.
Vellum Easter Card
What You'll Need:
Piece of Vellum measuring 4 by 5 1/4
Easter type stamps (I used the two Easter eggs from Happy Rubber Stamps
Happy Easter saying
Pastel Makers
White pigment ink (or clear emboss ink)
White embossing powder
Small hole punch (1/8 inch works great)
Ribbon to match the colors of markers
Folded card in Easter color
Step-By-Step:
1. Decide how to arrange your images on the vellum. Mine was
three eggs in a row, landscape on the bottom of the vellum.
2. Ink, stamp and emboss images on the Vellum. One big hint:
pre-heat your embossing gun for at least one minute. You
want the powder to melt fast. The ink on the vellum dries
quickly and the powder may blow off the ink and melt on
other places. And with the Vellum being translucent, you can
see every place the powder is that it shouldn't be.
3. Turn the vellum over and color the images from the back.
This gives a really nice pastel color to the project.
4. Ink, stamp, and emboss the Easter saying on the front, too.
5. Position the Vellum on the front of the open folded card and
hold tightly while you punch two holes in the top left of the
card and Vellum. You can also put the holes in the top middle
and punch the holes through the front and back of the card
and the Vellum.
6. Thread your ribbon through the holes and tie in a bow. This
will keep the Vellum on the card without using glue and make
a beautiful embellishment to the card.
Hints and Tips:
When heat embossing, always pre-heat your heat gun!
Vellum can also be used to dry emboss on. Be sure you run your hand over
the side of the vellum you will be embossing on. The oils and heat from
your hand will make the embossing tool slide more easliy over the paper.
This is important because if the tool can't slide eaily, it will bite and
tear the paper (grrrrrrrr). The dry embossing will will like Pergenamo
because the image will have a white cast to it. Try combining dry
embossing and heat embossing for a beautiful effect.
Use vellum to make envelopes! Trace your favorite envelope pattern over
the vellum and cut with a craft knife. When you score the vellum, press
moderately hard. The 55 pound Vellum is fairly thick and needs a bit of
pressure to score. Your cards will be seen through the envelope to make
the postal people smile, too!
Vellum can also be use on the inside of your cards. Cut the vellum to
the size of your card minus 1/8 inch on the top and one side. This will
make the vellum unseen when the card is closed. Stamp or print from your
computer your message and fold the vellum in half. Scoring the fold
works best. Then punch 1/8 inch or smaller holes in the fold of the card
and vellum and thread ribbon though to hold the vellum in place. Or use
the 1/8 inch wonder tape on the inside front of the card right next to
the fold line to hold the vellum in. I personally like ribbon better, as
the card can be recycled by taking the vellum out and either replacing
the vellum or writing a message on the card itself.
You can also use the same directions as the Easter card project to make a
stained glass card. Use a lead colored emboss powder and bright markers
for this effect. Color on the back if the vellum and cut to 4 1/4 by 5
1/2. The folded card you choose should be cut to a frame, leaving a 3/4
inch border all around. Cut a postcard the same way with a 3/4 inch
frame. When your vellum is done, use wonder tape on the inside of the
folded card around the frame. Mount the vellum inside the frame and
attach the postcard frame to the back of the vellum with more wonder tape
(miracle tape). For a more realistic looking stained glass, sponge
embossing powder over the back of the vellum and coat with clear powder.
Heat just until the powder melts. You're not looking for a smooth melt.
Then mount in the card. When opened, this card will look as though you
actually cut glass for it. Try this same methos with glass paints
instead of markers, or try a watercolor wash! The soft look the
watercolor gives is amazing!
How about you, what do you use vellum for?
