<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> EVERYONE READY
<fran> ready!
<brenda> yessss
<Keribou> ready
<MaggieB> ready

<JonaFromGermany> OK SOME THING YOU MUST KNOW BEFOR WE START
<JonaFromGermany> THE PAN IS GOIN TO GET REALL HOT
<brenda> k
<Libster> ok
<JonaFromGermany> IKNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
brenda remembers hot
<cak> lol (I guess I shouldn't laugh though)
<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
<cak> she'll be back. Inky, do you have your url handy?
<InkyWings> yes
<InkyWings> http://www.inkywings.com/iwbilder5/brosch1.jpg
<cak> (I wanna see)
<cak> thank you
<InkyWings> http://www.inkywings.com/iwbilder5/brosch2.jpg
<brenda> istamp you made it
<InkyWings> another one
<jenmist> I like these!!
<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> me too

<JonaFromGermany> IF IT IS COLD ENOUGH TRY TO PULL OUT THE STAMP
<JonaFromGermany> YES CAK
<Kolle> Deutschland
<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
<cak> so not too long--good
<JonaFromGermany> THAT IS VERY LONG FOR ME
<InkyWings> yes, I agree - I always want to peek before it is cold. lol
