Everything Papercraft - UTEE


UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) is a specially formulated, large particle embossing powder for paper, fibre and decorative arts. It is used in much the same way as regular embossing powder, but because of its larger particles it produces a much heavier textured embossing.

To use UTEE, stamp the image that you wish to emboss with clear versa mark, apply UTEE over the image, shake off the excess then melt the UTEE with a heat gun. If you want even more texture, sprinkle additional powder onto the hot UTEE and hit it again with the heat gun. You can continue building it up in this manner until you're happy.

UTEE can also be poured into moulds and heated to create three-dimensional embellishments. Try adding a little versamark ink to solid objects like buttons and brads and then dip them into the UTEE and heat for an embossed surface.
