Hi Everybody!
Haven't had time to post in the last couple of days but have been
reading the daily digest emails faithfully.

I actually had time to stamp last weekend!! I'm not kidding!! :-) This
is big news for me these days!

DMIL invited me over to stamp for the afternoon while DH and DFIL went
hunting. I took her up on the offer eagerly, as I had yet to stamp
even one Christmas card. It took me a while to design the prototype,
but I then made a total of 18 cards (that's when I ran out of gold
brads). I'm going to make at least one other design. The cards will
arrive at their destinations after Christmas, but it turns out most of
my family is late with cards this year so no one will notice :-)

I'll post pictures to a website after Christmas. One of our members is
my stamping pen pal and I don't want to post pics until she receives
her card.

It's Christmas break for us now, so I'm hoping to have a lot of
stamping time in the next week. One technique I'd like to try is
stamping on nylons. (There was an article featuring some techniques in
a past Rubber Stamper issue). I have a bunch of old knee-highs saved
for the project, just haven't gotten around to using them.

Nylons? How do you do that?

The idea is that the nylons are kind of like vellum in that they are
somewhat see-through. It looks like normal ink will work. The
following examples are summarized from the Sept. '05 issue of Rubber
Stamper magazine. I'll post more detail when I actually try the
technique myself.

In the first example, three flowers were stamped and embossed onto a
rectangular piece of card stock. Then a piece of nylon was stretched
over the cardstock and fastened on the back. A background stamp and
dye ink was used on the nylon. Then a hole was cut in the center to
open it up around the flowers. The edges around the hole were stitched
with thread then tacked down with glue to keep the opening open.

In the second example, a background stamp was stamped on cardstock,
then nylon stretched over the stamped cardstock, then another stamp
used to stamp the nylon with pigment ink. Then the nylon was randomly
stretched to create little holes. Embellishments and such were added
on top.

In the final example, a vase shape was cut out of cardstock. The vase
was stamped then run through a Xyron machine to cover the front with
clear glue. Nylon was stretched over the vase and tacked down on the
reverse side. Then 3 different colors of embossing powder were
sprinkled over the vase. The powder falls through the holes in the
pantyhose and sticks to the glue so there's no need for embossing ink.
Then the powder was embossed/heated. The vase was then attached to a
cardfront and stamped flowers were cut out and glued to the top of the
vase.

Hope that's clear! I'll post when I've tried it out and scan some pics
(if the cards turn out decent!) to yahoo photos.

Wow! That sounds complicated but I've baked 3 batches of cookies with my 6
year old granddaughter plus made a batch of dog treats today so everything
sounds complicated about now. LOL. I'll be waiting for the next addition.
