Take a #Cre8time Trip to Castaway Island... Easy and Inspired Gifts by Aimée Wheaton

Well this simple idea came about because I'm now working with kids at a school and my brain is frazzled... but it's also now thinking more like a kid. This was a super easy project and would be awesome for stocking stuffers or just a sweet little gift for someone special. I will be giving this to my daughter Lily at Christmas.

I started with browsing through my box of cast offs to see if I had anything I wanted to use. What is a cast off? Well it's the extra resin you end up with if you mix too much for your project, that's what it is to me. I have a box of goodies I dig out for projects and sometimes use them. I found this heart that I had made around the time of my Disney Cruise in February. I had painted this one teal. It was a plain smooth magnet I bought, altered and molded. The raised areas were hot glue designs added on it and then I molded it using Amazing Mold Putty, mixed up some Amazing Casting Resin and had this awesome new heart design. It's perfect for a necklace and I have a ton of these hearts in that box. 

I started digging around in my jewelry findings box and had this bail that fit perfectly. I glued it on with Tacky Glue and let it dry. I then glued on the sweet little pink bow which was in my mom's old button stash, added more glue and then some glitter on the raised areas. Oh and I sanded the back so it was smooth against her skin. Easy peasy!! I know my girl will love it! Super simple project!!

Don't throw out those cast offs!!!! Use them in other projects! There are so many ways to use them. First idea that comes to mind a is a Louise Nevelson inspired shadow box!

What cool fix can you make

with your cast offs?

Make an AMAZING Stamped Resin Bracelet... by Brenda Lee Burfeind

Good day all. Brenda here again with a super easy and exciting tutorial on how to make your own bezel pieces. As most of you know I am in love with making jewelry. I make all kinds of fun things and just can't get enough of trying new ideas, especially since I've found the Amazing Casting Products. I just can't believe I've lived without this stuff for all these years. 

A while back I found this awesome bracelet. I picked it up and figured eventually I'd make something... well, eventually is NOW! I've been watching my team mates use up their "spilled" resin to make some awesome things. Well, that got me to thinking...how about I spill some on purpose.

So let's get started:

First off, I mixed up my Amazing Casting Resin and poured it out on some baker's paper. I don't own a Teflon sheet and this worked just as well. You could even use the glossy side of freezer paper. Try to let it set up on a even flat surface. It created some air pockets, but that's OK - I worked around that.

See how thin it got? Perfect! 

I found the thinnest area of the resin sheet and then I stamped the image

directly onto it with my StazOn® inkpad. Of course it had to be purple!!!

Using my circular punch which was exactly the size for the bezel bracelet,

I punched out random areas of the image... 

... and here are all my circles. 

I placed them into the bracelet with a teeny tiny bit of the Amazing Clear Cast Resin

to keep them from floating to the top because I didn't need to glue them

in place since the disks were made of Amazing Casting Resin.

I then filled the entire well with more Amazing Clear Cast Resin,

repeated for the rest, and let it set up for about 24 hours.

The Amazing Clear Cast Resin is self-doming and leaves a beautiful gloss finish.

And here you have a perfect

One-of-A-Kind bracelet. 

What stamped image would you use

to make your own One-of-A-Kind bracelet?

Please leave a comment and leave your answer - I would love to hear what you are working on. We would love to see what you've created, so come and share with us on our Facebook page.

Bracelet Blanks with Amazing Mold Putty

I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to make a bracelet and haven't had a blank here for me to use. I have an empty cardboard tape roll that I use in my mixed media and it fits my wrist with a bit of room so I thought hmmmmmmmm....I can make as many blanks as I want out of AMAZING MOLD PUTTY!!!!!! So here is what I did. I took my AMP and mixed quite a bit of it. I then pushed my empty cardboard roll in it and let it set. It literally takes 10 minutes. You can see when I mixed my resin I used a silver colorant and poured a bunch of molds so I had a choice of what I wanted on my bracelet. Now you can wrap the bracelet with whatever you want to and as many different textures or colors but I used eyelash yarn in rust. As I wrapped it I use hot glue to tack every 10 wraps or so just for extra security. I then decided what piece I wanted to use as the main focus on the bracelet.I decided the Victorian woman would be the choice for this one. I hot glued her on and then used perfect pearls to colorize her and highlight her to match the yarn. Now you can paint the cast or whatever you want. Its hard to get the best picture with the lights on the shining face but in person it is so beautiful! I can make so many different kinds now and wear with my outfits and use whatever theme I want! Your imagination is the only thing that can stop you with this great product!
