How To: UTEE Leaves 2 Ways

Wahoo! The video(s) are finally uploaded! I'll spare you complaints about my internet. ;) Today the video was too long so I had to cut it in half. The quality of the video on part 1 is okay, but better for part 2. When it uploaded as one you could barely see what I was doing!
So today I'm showing you the FUN leaf technique I taught at the Among Friends scrapbook retreat. I posted the sketch for the layout I used the leaves on the other day!
There are two ways to do this, depending on what supplies you have. If you have the Melting Pot watch part 1, and if you don't watch part 2!



Part 1 Supplies:
Melting Pot
Spatula
Clear UTEE(Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel)
Gold UTEE
Nonstick Craft Sheet
Dye Ink (any dye ink will work I used Ranger)
Leaf Punched out of Cardstock
Tweezers
Mini Mister with Water and Perfect Pearls(Perfect Pearls Optional. It adds a glimmer effect)
Heat Gun




Part 2 Supplies:
Clear UTEE(Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel)
Nonstick Craft Sheet
Dye Ink (any dye ink will work I used Ranger)
Leaf Punched out of Cardstock
Tweezers
Mini Mister with Water and Perfect Pearls(Perfect Pearls Optional. It adds a glimmer effect)
Heat Gun

I hope you have fun with this! I know everyone did at the retreat!
Have a terrific Tuesday!
Happy Inking!

Sketchy Tuesday: Celebrate Autumn

I know I know this was supposed to be posted on Sketchy Sunday! Well it didn't make it so I'm posting this sketch today! :)
This is a versitile layout that has (3) 4x6 photos and (3) 3x4 photos.
My finished layout varies slightly from the sketch. I added a date spot and my leaves are in different places.
This is actually the layout I taught this past weekend at the Among Friends scrapbook retreat. We made the leaf accents and acorn accents. I will be posting that video tomorrow! They are SO much fun to make!
(To view the images larger simply click on them!)
If you would like the FREE PDF instructions on putting this layout together please leave me a comment with your email address or send me an email at inkyfingershappen@yahoo.com. The PDF also includes a supply list and measurements for the layout.
Well I hope you like the sketch! If you create a layout inspired by it please link me up! I would love to share it here!
I hope you have a great Tuesday and don't forget to check back tomorrow for the video on how to make the beautiful leaves!
Happy crafting!
