Quench your #Cre8time Thirst... AMAZING Inspiration from Kristie Taylor

Hello crafty friends! Kristie here today to share some AMAZING inspiration with you – some DIY custom hardware I've fashioned out of Amazing Casting Products.

Sometimes you need a pipe... a rusty pipe that is. After some failed attempts I decided to make my own using Amazing Mold Putty and Amazing Casting Resin!

Can you believe I turned this... into THIS?!

  

I was amazed at how easy it is to turn a bendy straw into a rusty pipedream! All it takes is a few simple steps with Amazing Casting Products and a little rusty paint to create a beautiful art journal cover like this...

Steampunk Dream!

To see how I created the hardware I needed for this project, including all the yummy textured details... CLICK HERE to jump over to my blog The Scrapinator.

What amazing things will you create
with bendy soda straws??!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! ~ Kristie

#Cre8time Jewels... AMAZING Art Nouveau Jewelry by Lyn Gill

Hi everyone! Lyn from LynzCraftz here with a somewhat surprising project today... jewelry! I wanted to reproduce a rather complex piece of jewelry I had just created – but this time using only resin. 

First off I'll share the original piece of jewelry I created...

Created all from polymer clay and inspired by the Designer René Lalique is unfortunately rather heavy – so I thought why not create one from Amazing Casting Resin?

First I started with the frame – I created the frame in polymer clay, baked it, then used Amazing Mold Putty to create a mold so I can reproduce in either polymer or resin {or even chocolate}. CLICK HERE to view how quick and easy moldmaking is using Amazing Mold Putty.

Then I prepared a batch of Amazing Casting Resin, poured it and let it cure {CLICK HERE to view mixing and preparation}. 

I repeated the same steps in creating a mold for the faux glass section, and this time using Amazing Clear Cast Resin with a bit of Alumilite Dye swirled in.

Looking good so far, right?

Now I can change it up. This pendant frame uses Alumilite Metallic Powder in Silver brushed into the mold before I poured Amazing Casting Resin.

For this one I decided to paint the frame a rich yummy Bronze. I love the different finishes that can be achieved this way. The look of clear or frosted glass especially comes across so nicely. This was such a fun project... I'm looking forward to the next one!

What combos could you think of?

Well that's it for today – thank you so much for stopping by... 
Till Next Time! ~ Lyn

Captured Love!!! #Cre8time Jewels by Maria Soto

Hi there! Maria here today with a little something I wanted to share... my take on a "Beauty & The Beast" love project. I put together a couple of tiny and very pretty pendants... the rose reminds me of the "Rose" from Beauty and the Beast.

  

I went shopping for some coloring pens at Michael's one day and took a look at their clearance section. I noticed some little glass dome charms and thought, why not, so I got the three packs they had left. Not sure what I would do with these but figured they would come in handy one day.

I had some tiny flowers and hearts I had cast previously with some leftover resin from another project I was working on, and they were the perfect size to fit in this little "cloches" {name marked on the package}. 

I mixed a very small batch of Amazing Clear Cast Resin and added some of the Alumilite blue dye. I placed a very tiny amount onto the metal part of the jewelry component – using the resin as a glue to hold the tiny heart and the glass dome.

For the tiny rose, I used Mod Podge Dimensional Magic in glitter as a glue too. I also added some clear rhinestones to both pieces. 

A very simple project – once the resin and the dimensional magic cured, all I had to do was add a chain and these lovely domed pieces are ready to wear.

I hoped I have inspired you to create something new using extra pieces you have leftover from old projects. Please share your creations with us by leaving a comment below or on social media.

What would you create using
