Helpful Hint

Do any of you have tons (I know I am exaggerating) of supplies that don't match or you don't know what to do with them or they are just plain ugly?  Well I do.  So I got some UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel) and with the help of the ladies on youtube I repurposed a chipboard frame.   Of course, this is going to lead me to repurpose alot of my items.  lol  You might know about this technique already, but for those of us just learning I will walk you through the steps I used. 

1.   Stamp Versamark all over the chipboard and lay on a piece of paper (which you will use to pour UTEE back into the original container).
2.   Pour a generous amount of UTEE (any color your want) on top of the chipboard.
3.   Pour off excess and put back in UTEE container.
4.   Heat using heat gun just like you would for regular embossing powders and watch the magic happen. 

Note:  I have seen some of the ladies use little seed pearls, beads, etc. and added them to give more texture to the chipboard.   Possibilities are endless.
