My sister is an expert at paper tole and she uses the stuff you find in the hardware store - CLEAR silicon sealant - not the white stuff. She applies it with a toothpick. You need to "pull" it - like pulling taffy - so it stands up in a peak - this is to get your dimensionality.

Now, things have slowed down a bit, and I have time to enjoy all the goodies and let the rest of you know. Once again, it was all beautifully wrapped - in red and white (stamped with big red lips) tissue paper (just right for Valentine's Day, which appeared to be the theme for the package) with raffia. OK, where to start? Well, the first package I unwrapped had a bagful of assorted ribbons for embellishing Valentine's and any other cards. Next came 2 UMs from VLV's Love Me Tender line - an "I've Mooved!" (just right for when I can afford my own place again!) and what looks like a little bear all dressed up. After that came an assortment of envelopes made from wallpaper and a corresponding template, so I can make my own. Two more packages revealed a bag of doilies and red envelopes and a bag of unusual buttons. Then I came upon 3 skinny cylindrical pakages. The first contained 4 new pencils for my collection (amazingly didn't have any of these yet!). The next was a pair of glue sticks for putting together the envelopes, and the final one was a tube of Avon's Dew Kiss (perfect for use on Valentine's - if I had a Valentine :) ! lol). Amazingly, I still hadn't reached the end. Out of the box I pulled a sheet of Valentine's wrapping paper, a big bag of Craisins (TRIBE buddy, I don't remember telling you that I love cranberries :)! What a treat!), and finally a copy of Somerset Studio with a floral bookmark inside. Mom got her hands on that before I did! I've never seen a copy of that magazine before, but I think it's great from what I've looked at so far. Thanks much TRIBE buddy. Once again, you've done great! Do I have to give you up after next month? Perhaps we should extend this round .... lol MeJane of the Jungle - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 20:22:48 +0000 From: "deeVinci" Subject: RubberTown: VVLV page????

Last night I made 5 cards using vellum paper. I stamped a heart on the vellum in white, embossed it in clear and then colored it on the back of the vellum. It gave it a really soft muted look. Then I used a mauve, speckled cardstock and put that inside the vellum. Next I took a hole punch and punched two holes in the top of both cards. Finally, I took some beautiful complimentary ribbon and tied a bow at the top, thus holding the two cards together. Around the bottom of the vellum I used one of Fiskar scissors to decorate the edge and to leave a little peek of the mauve cardstock showing through. I made three valentine cards too. Needless to say, I was up until 6 A.M. doing all this. But, the important thing is that I had a good time. I also taught my first Rubberstamping class tonight. Everyone had a good time. I was nervous at first, but am glad they had a good time.

I have a stamp of a round Christmas tree ornament that is about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. It looks like the old fashioned kind that were one color in the middle and white or silver on the ends. I stamped it on dark green cardstock that folded to be just slightly bigger than the stamp and I used either red or bright blue for the center of the ball, and the crystal glitter on the top and bottom. I used dimensional paint to color the hanger and to fill in a few holly leaves and berries that were part of the stamp. When the packages were under the tree those tags were dazzling! *And* it was fun to make them, too.

What I did was cut out some hearts out of Red paper, the back side of the paper was white. Then I cut out three mauve hearts that were a little smaller. Finally, I stamped a mouse holding a heart in his hands (Suzy's Zoo) on white paper and used Fiskars scissors to cut a smaller heart around him. I glued the three hearts together, so I had a red heart, a mauve heart and a white heart with the mouse inside it. Finally, I took some two in one glue and covered the heart that the mouse was holding, then I covered the heart with AIG glitter in red. It turned out really cute. Though, like I said, it's typical. Hope this helps. Diana Sullivan starlite@internet1.net http://www.internet1.net/starlite/diana.html > Okay, I'm still waiting for more Valentine ideas.

Daisy Now my tip...... :) This is an oldie but a goodie and I don't remember who discovered it but it's the one thing that I'm always amazed at and I've told all my newbie stamping friends. When embossing something I lay it on top of a sheet of foil and then heat the powder.... and I'm absolutely amazed at how much quicker it is. This is particularly more noticeable if embossing paper rather than very thick card ... and I've done a scientific time test and I'd say there was a difference of about 10 seconds when using the foil under the item being embossed as opposed to not using it. I noticed there were a lot of newbies lately so thought this might help make embossing a bit more easier for them. - - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 04:28:56 EST From: MWelch2057 Subject: RubberTown: Mandy's December Tribe Package.

I bought a wood clipboard at Office Max for $1.00 or so, wrapped the whole thing in tin foil (except the clip of course!) and have used the same board / foil forever. The clip holds your work nicely in place too Germaine Germaine's Gallery n a message dated 98-01-14 02:50:44 EST, hj@zip.com.au writes: << This is an oldie but a goodie and I don't remember who discovered it but it's the one thing that I'm always amazed at and I've told all my newbie stamping friends. When embossing something I lay it on top of a sheet of foil and then heat the powder.... and I'm absolutely amazed at how much quicker it is. This is particularly more noticeable if embossing paper rather than very thick card ... and I've done a scientific time test and I'd say there was a difference of about 10 seconds when using the foil under the item being embossed as opposed to not using it. I noticed there were a lot of newbies lately so thought this might help make embossing a bit more easier for them. >> - - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 08:25:38 -0600 From: Shannon Green Subject: Re: RubberTown: Can someone please tell me how to unsub from Rubbertown At 08:00 AM 1/14/98, Craig & Ann wrote: > I asked yesterday and didn't get a response.

I can't make this convention so if anyone can pick up any extra items from the classes and would let me have to share with my customers in classes I would be most grateful. I do try to keep up with what is going on and pass this on if I ha ve the information. I will be willing to pay postage, etc. Thanks to all. Marge @ Stampz 'N Stuff in Ocean Springs, MS.

Thank you all so much for your help with Valentine ideas. I think I've gleaned all I can from those and now I have another topic for consideration. Books. I love handmade books that can be used as journals or sketchbooks. They're pretty and they're functional. What about giving a handmade book to non-rubberstamping, non-art interested person? What are some different uses for these books? I mean the kind with blank pages inside. I gave one to my grandmother that had pockets on all the pages because she sometimes clips coupons and now she can be like the way coolest Gramma at the grocery store. What are some other ideas/suggestions for these books? Thanks!

I have quite a few of these and here is what I use them for: * addresses & phone #'s * sayings ( you know, when you see or hear a saying you really like & want to keep it forever?) * receipes * have one with pockets that I use as a mini photo holder - I write on the page the date, occassion, etc. * have another one with pockets for keepsakes - you know those cute little things your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. make for you that you can't throw away for anything. Also have the cards from flowers, those little saying cards people enclose with greeting cards and so on . . . * have one that I'm going to put postcards in from a swap on another list Hope this gives you some ideas, Shannon!

I received a Stamp Magic Loves Cats catalog, so I ordered a bunch of stamps. The order arrived yesterday.... and it had a "Big Sale" attached to the order form. To quote from the piece of paper: Big Sale! - We have lots of stamps in our cage that have been discontinued from previous catalogs. Many are one-of-a-kind. We are offering them at a bargain price: you can order as many as you want at $2.50 each, and we guarantee that you will be sent stamps that originally sold for $5.00-$9.00 each. Regular shipping charges apply. Please specify as to whether you want all cat designs or general subjects. (No dollar off coupons for these!) Their address is: Stamp Magic PO Box 60874 Longmeadow, MA 01116 FAX: 1-413-567-2244 Shipping: $1.50 First Item $ .50 Each Add'l $6.00 Max $2.00 Add'l Canada $10.00 Add'l Europe As an aside - my sister, who is "ahead" of me in the ordering arena with Stamp Magic (in fact, they sent me a catalog because she requested it! but didn't pay for it - they just sent it anyway), received her grab bag the Monday - and, each stamp was worth between 5.00 and 9.00 (prices were still on them); she received a couple of holiday cats (Halloween, Christmas), a to/from, a Delafield cat!, and several others. She said it was worth it. Oh, do I have a stamping tip? Not off the top, but I must say that the aluminum foil under the card for embossing WORKS, the tupperware-like containers that Phil sells for embossing powders WORKS (saves time and aggravation), saving parts of a "messed" up card for use in collage is a GREAT idea. How about using Pearl-Ex powders, mixed with the gum arabic solution, and markers? I thought that the markers *needed* to be Marvy's (the kind you can brush on your stamps, and the "breathe" on before stamping), but they don't! Just color on dark cardstock, then go over it with the interfence type Pearl-Ex powders... of course, I'd use the Violet on top of purple markers, the Gold on top of yellow... and the Macro Pearl can be applied directly on the dark cs without any marker color underneath. - - M - - ------------------------------ End of rubbertown-digest V1 #126 ********************************
