Crafting Oops? ... or WOW - that's AMAZING!!! Inspiration from Isie Villarreal

Crafting Oops???

We've all been there... You have a clear vision of what you want to make. You start to work on it and suddenly, it doesn't go exactly the way you envisioned. We've all had an "oops" moment but it's not necessarily a loss. I created the two pieces above using Amazing Casting Resin for one and Amazing Clear Cast Resin for the other. I won't tell you what I originally had in mind when I started but suffice it to say this is not what I had in mind when I started. Despite my initial reaction to throw them out and pout in the corner, I was happy with the coloration on both pieces so I set them aside.

A few weeks later, in an effort to avoid housekeeping I decided to light a stick of incense and...incense of course! I grabbed my cast pieces and my drill and two minutes later I had two AMAZING hand-cast incense burners. Not an "oops" after all!

Next time you have a crafting oops, take a break and then take another look! Thanks for visiting! ~ Isabel Villarreal

Making Rubber Stamps from Embossing Folders with Michelle Frae Cummings

Hello - Michelle here to share a fun project today using your cardmaking supplies. I belong to a card making group that usually meets at my home once a month. This month was my turn to host a demo. So I thought I would teach my friends (and you) how versatile Amazing Mold Putty is.

I demonstrated how to use embossing folders to make rubber stamps! It's fun to do after you have embossed your card or tag, then further accent it with a matching stamped image!

 

To get started you'll need to mix equal portions of the "A" and "B" Amazing Mold Putty until you no longer see any white swirls and you have one uniform color yellow.

Make a pancake of your putty, about 1/4" thick. 

Then select your chosen embossing folder, open it up and gently press your pancake onto the non-raised design side. You want your putty to go into the design. Flip the folder over and look for air pockets under the putty, if you see any, you'll need to gently press the putty in place. Use a craft roller to smooth out any finger prints and make for a smooth finish for later. 

Let your putty set for about 15 minutes then remove easily from your folder. Neat huh?

Here are some examples that the girls and I created. We just used basic distress inks. For a more precise image, chalk inks would work even better. 

Also, for a more user friendly stamp, I would recommend to mount the Mold Putty stamps onto cling mounting foam. That way you can use them easily with a acrylic block. 

The rubber of The Amazing Mold Putty makes for easy clean up.

Just wipe with a damp cloth and you are done!

This can also be done with embossing plates and brass stencils. 

Thanks for coming by, and happy crafting!

Sharon made this coffin cake for her husband and made the head using Amazing mold putty from a bobble head I bought for him. It is made of gumpaste. He does not eat cake so the cake went stale and in the bin but she kept the head -  LOL {we think the "Prince of Darkness" would approve}.
