Christmas tree stamp

    This is the stamp I carved and pressed into the warm Shrinky Dink plastic with UTEE melted over it. It gave a nice intaglio effect.

      I don't know what UTEE is, but this is about the cutest tree and background I've seen. Great job.

      Thanks for the compliment! UTEE stands for ultra thick embossing enamel. It's usually with the rubber stamping supplies in craft stores.

      This is adorable!!! Did you paint on top of the UTEE after you pressed it?

      I used colored pencil and chalks to color a full-size sheet of Ruff 'n Ready Shrinky Dink plastic first. Then I used UTEE after I shrank it.

      This was a two part project. I shrank the Shrinky Dink first, then scanned the shrunken plastic into my computer, printed the image out, and traced it onto my carving block. Next I carved my stamp so it would be the right size (which is larger than ATC-size.)
