<cak> I know that Christa (JonaFromGermany) didn't have any illustrations, but she did have a list of what you'll need for UTEE pan embossing.

<JonaFromGermany> OK I have all ready

<JonaFromGermany> IKNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

<JonaFromGermany> MY LAST EXPIERIENCE IS 8WEEKS AGO AND STILL HURTS:-)

<MaggieB> youch

<cak> ouch

<Libster> {{{{{{{{{{{{ hugs }}}}}}}}}}}}

<JonaFromGermany> OK TAKE THE BACKING PAPER ABOUT DOUBLE BIG AS THE

<Kaye> hi guys sorry im late

<JonaFromGermany> CAK CAN YOU GIVE ME THE LINK AGAIN PLEASE

<JonaFromGermany> CS OR WHAT YOU HAVE

<cak> sure http://www.dm.net/~cak/panembossing/

<JonaFromGermany> PASTEBAORD WAS THE WORD

<JonaFromGermany> START HEATING THE PAN ON A LOW LEVEL

<MaggieB> double big as what?

<JonaFromGermany> IT WILL TAKE SOME TIMES LONGER BUT IS NOT SO DANGEROUS

<JonaFromGermany> PASTEBAORD OR CS

<cak> the size of the CS is double the size of the stamp you want to use?

<InkyWings> Those Mini Matts from Stampendous must be great to use too - or what?

<JonaFromGermany> OH DOES EVERYONE KNOWS THE SPECIALS ON UTEE?

<MaggieB> backing paper? parchment paper?

<cak> No--do tell please

<MaggieB> no!! please tell

<JonaFromGermany> SORRY DON'T KNOW THOSE MATTS

<InkyWings> Small pieces already cut out from a thick mattboard - lots of shapes.

<JonaFromGermany> FOR THE PEARL OR IRISEDENT COLORS YOU NEED A DARK BACKGROUND

<gale> Has anyone ever tried one of those mini-electric skillets for this?

<InkyWings> Great for UTEE and such stuff (Deep Impressions )

<JonaFromGermany> OH GOOD TO KNOW

<cak> I suspect an electric skillet would be great for this--

<LuniLadi> yep, I've used one with a nonstick sheet

<JonaFromGermany> AND IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING NICE WITH CLEAR DON'T USE THE AMAZING GLAZE FROM JUDI KINS

<TheQueen> why jona?

<JonaFromGermany> IT GETS A DIRTY LOOK

<JonaFromGermany> SORRY MY ENGLISH INS'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR SKILLET

<InkyWings> Deep Impressions from STampendous is a pretty good Clear thick EP

<JonaFromGermany> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

<cak> skillet = frying pan

<TheQueen> electric frying pan

<kristi> it's an electric fry pan

<JonaFromGermany> OK YES THAT IS GREAT

<gale> They make little mini ones, Jona.

<JonaFromGermany> WE HAVE AN EXTRA PLATE FOR BIG FAMILYPARTIES AND THIS ONE IS WHAT I USE

<gale> Maybe 4 inches square.

<enchy> ty

<TheQueen> hi ench

<enchy> hi what are we doing in here?

<enchy> is there a class?

<Libster> UTEE

<Libster> http://www.dm.net/~cak/panembossing/

<InkyWings> With Christa from Germany!

<JonaFromGermany> OK HAS EVERYONE HTE PAN WARM AND THE PAPERS CUT

<Libster> there you go, enchy!

<enchy> oh good - i need that

<enchy> thanks

<InkyWings> sure Jona!!

kristi is just observing as she is at work

<Libster> Lib gives enchy hug cuz she likes her

<enchy> lol

<enchy> thanks lib

<Libster> <blus> yw

<JonaFromGermany> FIRST YOU PUT THE baking parchment IN THE PAN AND THE CS OR PASTEBOARD OVER THAT

<JonaFromGermany> THE baking parchment MUST BE BIGGER THEN THE CS

<cak> to catch the drips off the side? Does it drip very often?

<JonaFromGermany> PUT YOUR FIRST COLOR ON THIS ONE MUST BE A THICK ONE

<InkyWings> it use to pull over the Cardstock a bit if it is too much UTEE on it...

<InkyWings> while it melting

<cak> ah! thanks

<InkyWings> Any suggestions of nice colors Christa?

<JonaFromGermany> AS LON AS IT DRIPS ON THE baking parchment YOU CAN LEAVE IT

<JonaFromGermany> AND GET IT OFF AFTER THE WORK IS DONE AND COLD

<JonaFromGermany> I MOSTLY START WITH BLACK

<cak> Christa, do you just pour some UTEE on or do you coat it with embossing fluid and dip it before putting it in the pan?

<JonaFromGermany> ALL THE COLORS YOU ADD AFTER THIS CAN BE NORMAL EP

<JonaFromGermany> NO

<cak> (Yay! finally a use for the full palette of eps)

<JonaFromGermany> THAT IS ONE THING I REALLY

<MaggieB> no embossing ink?

<JonaFromGermany> LIKE YOU CAN MAKE INK UNDER BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO

<InkyWings> no need to have that ink as it lays flat and don't run anywhere... lol

<cak> cool--thanks

<JonaFromGermany> LOL

<MaggieB> cool, ty

<MaggieB> lol cak, we sound like twins

InkyWings must try to start with black... never thought about that before

<cak> (I was thinkin' the same thing--and feeling flattered)

<JonaFromGermany> OK IF THE FIRST LAYER IS THICK ENOUGH AND FLUID

<JonaFromGermany> YOU CAN ADD SOME OTHER COLORS OR JUST SOME GLITTER OR COLORED GLASS

<Kolle> Are You taliking about EP in a frying pan?

<JonaFromGermany> YES

<MaggieB> colored glass?

<MaggieB> oh, to stick into it?

<InkyWings> like pearls or beads?

<MaggieB> like bits?

<JonaFromGermany> WE HAVE LITTEL GLASSSTONES THAT ARE COLORED

<MaggieB> neat

<JonaFromGermany> YES BEADS OR PEARLS ARE GOOD TOO

<cak> the little holeless beads would be great for this

<JonaFromGermany> YES

<JonaFromGermany> BUT REMEMBER THAT STAMP YOU WANT TO HAVE IN

<cak> How large can the additions be? Do you have to keep them pretty small so they'll stick?

<JonaFromGermany> AND THAT FOR THE NEW STAMPS FROM AAS ARE REALLY GREAT

<JonaFromGermany> THAT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH UTEE YOUHAVE ON

<JonaFromGermany> AND IF YOU STILL WANT TO SEND IT WITH A CARD IN THE MAIL:-)

<cak> LOL

<InkyWings> Christa - may I show two pics of Pins made with thick EP like this??

<InkyWings> Just a thought as you didn't have any pics to show...

<jenmist> the cloisenne stuff would work too - right?

<jenmist> I have like 5 colors of that

<jenmist> I have 4 colors of UTEE too

<cak> oops

<brenda> lost teacher

<InkyWings> Hope Christa don't mind I'm showing them for you

<brenda> hey serene

<jenmist> Serene - how are you?

<InkyWings> they are made on those Mini Matts from STampendous

<cak> Beautiful Inky--I'm sure she won't (and you can blame me if she does)

<Serene> hey y'all

<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/panembossing/

<jenmist> you can use broken CD pieces too

<InkyWings> lol, Cak - I will!! ROFL

<jenmist> or those little flat wooden shapes

<JonaFromGermany> OK I'M BACK

<InkyWings> wb Christa

<Kaye> they are great

<Kaye> i want some

<MaggieB> wb

<InkyWings> yes, I must try with wooden shapes some day!

<JonaFromGermany> GIVE ME AN UPDATE WHERE YOU ARE

<InkyWings> Christa - I just showed them two pics with pins made this way

<cak> I made Inky show us a couple of pins she's done with UTEE

<InkyWings> hope you don't mind

<JonaFromGermany> INKY DID YOU ALLREADY GAVE THE LINK

<InkyWings> http://www.inkywings.com/iwbilder5/brosch2.jpg

<InkyWings> http://www.inkywings.com/iwbilder5/brosch1.jpg

<InkyWings> They are made on those Mini-matts from Stampendous

<JonaFromGermany> OH THYE ARE GREAT

<Kaye> i need to get some of those

<InkyWings> And with the Deep Impressions EP (just like UTEE)

<JonaFromGermany> FOR THE STAMP YOU CAN USE INK BUT DON'T HAVE TO

<InkyWings> Did it exactly the way you described here!

<InkyWings> So it's very easy - don't you think?

<JonaFromGermany> BUT I LOVE TO INK MY STAMP ESPECIALLY IN GOLD OR COPPER

<InkyWings> metallic inks looks great in the UTEE

InkyWings will shut up from now... ;)

> * 05InkyWings * Do you mind if I copy these images to put on Christa's page? What do you want the credits to look like or would you prefer just a link to the files?

<Kolle> Sometimes the ink from a stamp will smear when You touch it later - and tips on how to avoid that?

<JonaFromGermany> OK IF IT IS HOT AND YOU HAVE ADDES ALL YOU WANT TAKE THE PASTEBAORD OUT WITH THE baking parchment BE QUICK

<JonaFromGermany> AND STAMP IN

<JonaFromGermany> THE BEST UNDERGROUND FOR THAT IS A TILE

<cak> Ah! I wondered what that tile was for

<JonaFromGermany> IT CAN GET HOT AND STAYS S

<Kolle> I meant when you stamp it in hot UTEE, the ink will still smear.

<JonaFromGermany> FEST

<JonaFromGermany> NOT HEAVY OR STRONG

<JonaFromGermany> FORGET IT

<JonaFromGermany> NOW COMES THE MOST DIFFICULT THING FOR ME

<InkyWings> Kolle - you need to use ink that dries good

<InkyWings> Maybe Brilliance is good for this??

<JonaFromGermany> YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE STAMP IN TILL IT IS COLD

<JonaFromGermany> YES BUT I LOVE THE METALLICCOLORS BEST

<Keribou> or a heat set pigment ink like Colorbox Crafter's

<MaggieB> can you just spray a fixative on it if the ink needs it?

<InkyWings> ahh! THat's a good idea Keribou

<cak> (you'd be stampin' and settin' at the same time)

<kristi> brillance is a heat set pigment ink

<JonaFromGermany> I THINK IT IS HOT WHILE YOU STAMP IN

<JonaFromGermany> AND GETS COLD AND THAT FIXES NEARLY EVERY COLOR

<cak> Christa, what brand of ink have you used for these? (and Inky too)

<JonaFromGermany> OK EVERYONE HAS THE STAMP IN?

<Kolle> Maby fiative would work! But will it make te UTEE tile matt/dim/dull (I'm using every word in my dictionary)

<MaggieB> there is shiny fixative tho

<kristi> not if used glossy fixative

<Keribou> Ladies- your English is excellent

<MaggieB> yes, you are all doing great!

<JonaFromGermany> my theacher don#t agree with you

<JonaFromGermany> lol

<MaggieB> lol

<Keribou> lol

<JonaFromGermany> OK SOME THINGS TO ADD

<InkyWings> Cak - I've used Colorbox metallic colors (gold and silver) At least I think I used those... lol. No, I know I did - hadn't any else when I did those

<cak> teachers are such sticklers

<MaggieB> most of the ink is down in the grooves anyhow.... hard to get to....

<JonaFromGermany> I LOVE TO ADD GLITTER

<JonaFromGermany> YOU CAN USE THE ONE FROM ART GLITTERIN WITH THEIR GLUE

<MaggieB> you are only utee'ing the front? how are you finishing the backs?

<Kolle> I was always told that: "NO, no, You're not supposed to use american english, but british english." Easyer with american, since we hesar so much american on TV...

<JonaFromGermany> AND RUBAND BUFF LOOKS GREAT TO FINISH THOSE THINGS

<MaggieB> lol kolle

<InkyWings> Hey Kolle!! Same over here! LOL

<JonaFromGermany> GARNICHT

<Kolle> Well, Jona - you dub your TV! :-)

<JonaFromGermany> I PUT MY LABEL ON AND A NEADEL AND USE IT AS A PIN:-)

<InkyWings> Maggie - you don't need to do anything to the back - the UTEE sneaks in under the cardstock and seals it!

<MaggieB> it does?

<MaggieB> cool

<MaggieB> errr, hot?

<InkyWings> sure, at least those I've tried on.

<JonaFromGermany> WHAT MEANS DUB?

<cak> lol maggie

<kristi> overdub - re-record sound

<InkyWings> Christa- the people move their lips to english but talk in German

<InkyWings> someone else speaks for them in German...

<JonaFromGermany> OH OK

<MaggieB> you know, dubbed! lol as opposed to subtitles

<JonaFromGermany> I SPEEK ENGLISH WITH MYSELF WHILE TYPING HERE

<InkyWings> then it's not easy to learn more english from the movies either!!

<cak> lol

<kristi> I find myself doing that from time to time and it's my native language, lol!

<JonaFromGermany> I REFRESHED MY ENGLISH WITH READING STAMPERMAGS AND WRITING IN CYBERSTAMPERS:-)

<Kolle> When Nicole Kidman sings in German instead of english... It's hilarious!!!!!!!!

<InkyWings> you'll dream in English after this Christa... lol

<Rosem> lol kristi!

<kristi> then DF walks past and wonder's why he is marrying me, lol!

<JonaFromGermany> I ALLWAY DREAM IN ENGLISH CAUSE I'm dreaming OFF BEEING IN THE USA

<InkyWings> christa - you have to scan some of your pieces made with UTEE so we can see them. I would love to see what you've done!!

<InkyWings> heh - then you are on the right way Christa... ;)

<cak> About how long does it take to cool enough? (or does it depend on the weather?)

<InkyWings> About 1-2 minutes

<JonaFromGermany> BE CAREFULL THE STAMP CAN LOST THE WOOD THAT WON'T BE A PROBLEM BUT IF YOU BREAK THE UTEE YOU HAVE TO START AGAIN

<JonaFromGermany> IT DEPENDS ON THE LAYERS OFF UTEE

<InkyWings> wiggle the stamp off from the UTEE

<JonaFromGermany> 2 TO 10 MINITUES
