A #Cre8time Angel in Disguise... AMAZING Inspiration by Michele Kosciolek

Hello friends! Michele back again with another way I've used casts of my butterfly – but this time just the wings...

For the project I am sharing today, I poured Amazing Casting Resin into just in the wings so they would be two separate pieces.

Here is a little reminder of the original mold.

CLICK HERE in case you missed it.

The wings bring my angel to life combined with some Tim Holtz Ideology bits, an Um Wow Studio chipboard word, Art Alchemy wax and Dina Wakley paint. The Art Alchemy wax and Distress glitter on the wings show the detail of the resin cast wings so well!

A little cheese cloth and thread make my angel in disguise pop! There are so many ways to use your molds, just a little thinking outside the box and viola!

What are you molding/casting

for use in mixed media?

Thanks for coming back to see what I have been up too!!

Until next time... ~ Michele

#Cre8time Seaside Dreams... an AMAZING Remelt tutorial by Tracy Alden

Hello! Tracy here with another Amazing Casting Products tutorial! I recently started to change the decor in one of my bathrooms, going with sea life, drift wood and glass themes in shades of blue, white, gray and brown. I noticed that one of the walls was missing a little something. With the help of Amazing Remelt it was easy to mold some of the sea shells and glass bobbles I already had as decorations in the room to create that final decoration!

Supplies: 

• Amazing Remelt
• Amazing Clear Cast Resin
• Blue Alumilite Dye
• Bright Blue, Ocean Blue, Interferance Blue and Pearl Alumidust
• Liquitex Gloss Varnish
• Stampendous Crystal Snow White Glitter, Ultra Fine
• Beacon Gem-Tac Adhesive
• Viva Decor Inka Gold Metalic Rub, Silver
• StazOn Blue Hawaii Ink 
• Paint Brush 
• Small Canvas 
• Stir Sticks 
• Craft scissors 
• Plastic lunch tray (from pre-prepared small wraps and sushi) 
• Small shells 
• Glass marbles 
• Cosmetic Sponge 

Using a plastic lunch tray as my mold box, I carefully placed sea shells and glass marbles on the bottom layer of the tray, making sure none of the pieces reached the top lip of the tray.

I heated the Amazing Remelt in the microwave, in the container it comes in. I poured the heated Remelt into the plastic lunch tray with the shells and glass pieces from a 12 -15 inch distance – the distance gives the Remelt a chance to release more bubbles before cooling. A few of the shells floated, because of trapped air bubbles, all I had to do was push the shells back down with a stir stick and the air bubbles rose to the surface of the still-liquid Remelt.

I let the Amazing Remelt cool until no longer tacky or warm – putting the tray in a refrigerator can speed up this process. Once the mold was cool and no longer tacky, I carefully removed the Remelt from the tray and flexed the mold until the glass pieces popped out.

Some of the Remelt had gone between the glass pieces and shells – requiring me to cut and remove the excess Remelt with sharp crafting scissors. I trimmed the uneven edges and made sure there was no loose or over hanging Remelt.

Using a small cosmetic brush I dusted the inside of the mold with Bright Blue, Ocean Blue, Interferance Blue and Pearl Alumidust. 

I mixed up a small portion of Amazing Clear Cast Resin, making sure to slowly stir to reduce air bubbles and let it sit for 5 minutes. Using a toothpick, I put a tiny drop of Blue Alumilite Dye into a small mixing cup and poured a portion of the pre-mixed resin in it. I poured un-tinted Amazing Clear Cast Resin in the mold and used a toothpick to drop in small portions of blue tinted resin in different areas to create visual contrast.

Once Amazing Clear Cast Resin was cured I carefully removed it from the Amazing Remelt mold and trimmed any uneven edges.

Using a plain gesso covered canvas I applied Viva Decor Inka Gold Metalic Rub, Silver and StazOn Blue Hawaii Ink with a Cosmetic Sponge.

I glued on the casted resin piece to the canvas with Beacon Gem-Tac Adhesive and let dry. I added some Liquitex Gloss Varnish over and around the edges of the resin and sprinkled on Stampendous Crystal Snow White Glitter.

With as easy as I found this to do I am now looking at what other decor items I can create with Amazing Remelt!

Cardmaking and #Cre8time in the Rose Garden... by Bridget Cordero

Greetings! Today we welcome our new AMAZING Creative, Bridget Cordero who is sharing a video tutorial of how she made this card with gorgeous lace-like dimensional embellishments cast in Amazing Casting Resin.

• • • • • • • • •

I have a big passion for paper crafting and when asked to be on this design team, I knew I wanted to create things that others would love to create. I created this beautiful card and added a few embellishments using Amazing Casting Resin.

I found these icing molds on Amazon, some look like doilies and the other like lace. I knew I wanted to use the lace one on my card. The heart shaped one was an added bonus. :)

Once I poured the resin into the mold, I used the popsicle stick to level out the resin. Once it cured I peeled it out of the mold. 

The resin is amazing... look at the detail in the results.
 It came out smooth and sleek. 

If you are having trouble viewing video, please CLICK HERE.

I'm so in love with the results! I've included this YouTube video

to show more detail of my project. Enjoy!

What kind of embellishments do you

create for your handmade cards?

I appreciate you checking out my project! If you’d like to see more of my creations,

Happy crafting! ~ Bridget
