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.

Falling #Cre8time Jewels.... Tree of Life Pendant by Guest Designer Lyn Gill

Hi, Lyn Gill here again and I've got a fun new pendant to share with you today. I started off with a polymer clay piece that I made a mold from Amazing Mold Putty. This stuff is truly amazing and it gives such great detail... it even captured the little twist and turns in the bark of the tree!

Using the Amazing Clear Cast Resin which I colored with some Mica Powder (you could even use eye shadow), then I filled the mold.

Then I gave the piece some color with a wax based

paint, these are becoming very popular.

While I should have added the jump ring while my resin was setting up... well, I didn't... LOL – but I added another layer of resin to the back, and this time embedded the jump ring.

I've already had so much fun using the Amazing Casting Products, it's been a blast! This fun Fall Tree of Life pendant will last you a lifetime but it would also make a great gift too!

Thanks so much for joining me today... Till Next Time! ~ Lyn

Read All About It!! Casting with ReMARKable Detail in Amazing Mold Rubber by Melissa Johnson

Good morning everyone! Today I am sharing a fun bookmark that I created using Amazing Mold Rubber, which I have to say is pretty darn amazing! It cures so quickly (well, here in Texas!).

To begin, I wanted to cast a few antique crystals that I bought last summer at an antiques show. I mixed the mold rubber and glued down my pieces using a heavy duty glue dot {CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation}. I used the lid of an container of beads as the mold box.

   

When the mold was completely cured, I pulled the original pieces out.

I decided to use the larger of the crystals for this particular project, so I mixed up some Amazing Clear Cast Resin and poured it into the mold. When that had cured, I painted it with a very thin layer of Golden paint in cobalt blue and drilled a small hole in the top. The detail is amazing!

I also had a small key laying around and since there was some extra resin, I found a bezel in my stash and laid down a scrap piece along with the key and poured the resin over it all.

   

While that was curing, I found a piece of ribbon in my stash and using the Alumilite Dye in Blue, I mixed up a few drops along with some water and some alcohol. The alcohol was actually an accident. :) It was still in my mini spray bottle I keep on my desk from a previous project.

I dipped the ribbon in the mixture and let it soak in.

Then I pulled it out, balled it up, and dried it with a heat gun.

To finish, I assembled all of the pieces (adding in a metal

finding from my stash) using jump rings and the dyed ribbon.

What found objects will you mold
and cast in Amazing Mold Rubber?

Make something that makes you happy :) ~ Melissa Johnson

Resin Roses... a #Cre8time Thorn in My Side by Tanya Ruffin

I had such high hopes for this project in the beginning. BUT this is a good example how a giant FAIL can help you create something even better. So, if anything you will learn what didn't work well and maybe you can perfect my first attempt.

My first attempt was to pour colored resin on a non-stick surface, let it cure and then cut out rose petals using a Sizzix and put together an awesome resin rose. CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation for Amazing Casting Resin.

Well, first off, resin doesn't fold or curl like paper. Second, unless you want to hold each piece in place for 20 minutes, E6000® won't work. So I attempted to hot glue the pieces. That worked but each petal slowly droops... Now all this work looks like it was constructed from red plastic spoons. EPIC FAIL!

So with my left over red resin sheet I cut out a spiral.

Below are two sketches you can use as a guide for cutting.

This spiral is flipped over, compared to the sketch above. 

I then started to curl the spiral from the outside in. I know, you would think you would start rolling from the center out, but it is the opposite. 

Get your hot glue gun ready before you start because you will need to glue it when you get it completely rolled... AND you can't let go or it will all unravel!

Your flower is done, add hot glue to the piece left at the end. You can now you can add leaves and punch a hole for a jump ring. I was able to slide one petal inside my Crop-A-Dile™ to punch the hole. 

I cut green fun foam leaves and glued to the back. I like the bright red and bright green colors. It makes it look so fairy tale to me!

Add a little glitter in the center and you are done!

What shaped flowers would you create

with Amazing Casting Resin?

Creepy Cool and #POE (etic) Remelt Pendants... AMAZING Inspiration by Isabel Villarreal

As a small business owner I like to add a little freebie for customers whenever they make a purchase. Usually I give small stamped items but this time around I wanted to make something that really captured the feel of my products, which tend to be on the dark side with a little cuteness thrown in. I created these creepy cool pendants using Amazing Remelt, which can be used to make molds, melted down and reused to make more!

  

I had previously sculpted the skull and anatomical heart out of clay and then attached them to some clear pendant blanks. A small plastic storage bowl served as my molding box, all I had to do was adhere my originals to the bottom of the bowls using hot glue. Using a microwave and working in 5 second increments I melted down some Amazing Remelt and poured it over my pieces.

It was cured in about 15 minutes. and just look at these molds! Every detail perfectly captured and ready to use in just minutes. Since I would be using these molds to make LOTS of pendants, I made a few molds of each. Multiples will save me so much time.

A dusting of Alumidust in the molds really brought out the details. These were made using Amazing Clear Cast Resin and finished with hemp twine.

What will you create with Amazing Remelt?

I'd love to see what you create! Please upload and share your creations to the

User GALLERY on the Amazing Mold Putty Website for all the world to see.

Custom Carved Creations... #DIY Inspirational Keychain by Brenda Burfeind

Good day friends! Brenda here from Creativity is a State of Mind to share my custom keychain. I wanted a keychain that read "Live Laugh Love", just because I LOVE that saying. I've checked around and could probably spend $8 - $10 on one... but why should I when I can make it myself and the way I want it to look? I started experimenting with a Creative Paperclay® piece I had in my stash of unused projects. When I create I always create multiples of things and ALWAYS have left overs that go into a box. Whether it is a unfinished resin piece, half finished or dried paperclay pieces. You never know when inspiration will hit you!

So, again, I started out with my piece of dried paperclay and wrote "Live Laugh Love" with a pencil directly onto the piece. Works quite well as a matter of fact!

   

Then I brought out my Dremel tool, and with the tiniest adaption I SLOWLY traced the lettering! I gave it just enough indentation to give it detail. After I traced all my letters I sanded the entire piece to get rid of any imperfections.

Then I mixed up my Amazing Mold Putty (you can view mixing instructions HERE) and pressed my paperclay piece into it and let that set up for about 10 minutes. My "craftroom" is very cold and sometimes the mold putty needs to cure a bit longer than in warmer places.

After it was all set up, I gently pulled my paperclay piece out,

and was very excited about all the detail. 

I then mixed up my Amazing Casting Resin (instructions for mixing that up is HERE) and poured my mold. After that cured in about 20 minutes (again it totally depends on the climate where you are) I pulled my resin piece out. AWESOME!

I painted the entire piece with some purple acrylic paint and rubbed most of it off with a paper towel – revealing the color down in the recessed letters.

Then I rubbed some Alumilite Gun Metal Metallic Powder over the entire piece. I wanted the purple to be the lettering. I am so thrilled with the outcome! I used my Dremel again to bore a hole and added a silver keychain to it – now I have my own custom made keyring to add to my key.

I hope I've inspired you to create something uniquely yours. 

It's kinda fun knowing that that is my handwriting on that keychain. 

What SAYING would you put

on your own custom keychain?

Thanks for stopping by! Please leave me a comment and hop on over to my blog, Creativity is a State of Mind to see some more of my creations. Until next time ~ Brenda
