Stamping a Debossed Tile
by Ruth Lanz

Supplies: VersaMark Ink Pad
UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel by Ranger)
Hot Mat for melting on
Embossing Gun
Stamp, any kind
Cardstock or Chipboard and square paper punch or paper trimmer
Acrylic Paint, any color
Cloth for removing paint
First, cut squares from your cardstock or chipboard.

Cover one punched square completely on one side with VersaMark.

Cover the square with UTEE.

Shake off the extra UTEE, set square on your Hot Mat and melt the UTEE with your embossing gun.

Coat your stamp with VersaMark to prevent sticking.

While the UTEE is still hot, stamp your image into the square.

When the design has cooled, coat the entire square with the acrylic paint.

While the paint is still wet, use your cloth to wipe off the square. The paint will remain inside the stamped image.

Repeat with each square and you have a set of debossed tiles to use on a layout or card.
