Lost and Found #Cre8time Jewelry by Aimée Wheaton

Ever have a favorite pair of earrings and then you lose one? Yeah that's what happened with this pair of earrings, they were my favorite and I happened to lose one while I was out on a weekend getaway with the hubby. I was so bummed, then I remembered I had a secret ingredient to recreate them! 

Amazing Mold Putty!!!! 

I molded this earring and it made the perfect pair

of earrings, not exactly the same but very close!

Of course to mold it you mix equal parts of Part "A" and "B"

of the putty and then form it around the item. See how it works here.

Look how amazing the mold turned out! Here it is brushed with our silver Alumilite Metallic Powder! When the resin cures it will be attached to the final product. I poured Amazing Casting Resin after mixed into the mold and let it cure. I did this two times. See how to do it here.

This is the finished product! I sanded the edges

for a clean finish to clean them up a bit.

Then to make the details stand out I brushed 

Jet Black StazOn Ink onto the surface.

Add a few jump rings and ear wires and you're good to go!! These are even lighter than the original pair! Amazing Mold Putty to the rescue!!!

Do you keep your broken jewelry

parts or orphaned pieces?

Amazing #Cre8time Jewelry Transformations... by Maria Soto

Hi there, this is Maria and today I want to share a fun project. Back in January I created several molds using some fun items I found in my office. I've been wanting to use these for jewelry making. One day as I was looking at an old magazine and I found a page that inspired me to create a pendant. Well, I figured it was time to bring out my mold and see what would come from this mold, a magazine page and some Amazing Clear Cast Resin.

You can CLICK HERE to see how I made this fun mold. 

After adding some Alumilite Metallic Powders with a paintbrush on all the molds, I poured some Amazing Clear Cast Resin. As you can see, these are very thin molds so only a little bit of resin was needed.

Here are some of the resin pieces I made. I used two of them to make a couple of pendants... inspired by a magazine page, as you can see in the photos below. It had a cute little girl, and some very pretty flowers – I thought would make some cute pendants.

After trimming and adding the papers to the molds, I added some paint, glitter, and some beads. Once everything was put together it was time to add a bit more of the Amazing Clear Cast Resin to seal and finish these two pieces.

Here are the two pendants, all done and ready to wear.

These will make some fun gifts.

  

Funny how you never know when inspiration will hit you – I was on my lunch break looking at some old craft magazines... and looking at the pretty flowers inspired me to go home and create!

What inspires you to create?

Making Old New Again... #Cre8time Jewelry REDUX by Aimée Wheaton

Recently I've been on a purging my house mission and I've been going through things and from time to time I find little treasures. I found a single earring that was my mother's earring back in the 90's. I remember borrowing these heart shaped brass earrings a lot, they were one of my favorite pairs to borrow. 

Not sure what happened to the other one so I decided to mold it to make my own spin on them. I also found a really pretty rose button in my Mom's stash that would be a great embellishment for art or other things. This is a simple project with a lot of WOW. They may look a bit outdated when put together but that doesn't stop me from wearing them. People will ask if they're heavy and you can tell them NO!

Both items have great texture to them so they were perfect for this project.

First things first... I created two molds using Amazing Mold Putty.

THIS STUFF IS DA BOMB!!

Items I used for this project are:

• my molds made from the Amazing Mold Putty
• Amazing Casting Resin see how to mix {here}.
• Alumidust powders - colors used are: pewter, bright blue, deep purple, deep red
• Alumilite Metallic Powder in silver
• paint brush
• jump rings
• earring post backs
• tacky glue
• a little StazOn ink
• pen to mark where to drill
• oh and my trusty drill press!

Color version - this one I edged with teal StazOn ink.

This one is purely silver with black and copper jump rings.

So which is your favorite?

Silver...

Mold Making makes for Some #Cre8time Wearable Fun!!! AMAZING Inspiration by Maria Soto

Hi there, this is Maria and today I bring you an inspiration post. One thing I like to do with Amazing Mold Putty, is make all types of molds, you never know what you might want to make later on, so it's good to have a lot of fun stuff to work with when creativity comes knocking. The photos below show some of the creative fun you can achieve with these Amazing Crafting Products!

   

I select and prepare an assortment of molds for resin {on left} to work with. Pouring multiple molds with with Amazing Casting Resin give you finished pieces in minutes {curing process pictured on right}. 

These molds have added colorants combined with Amazing Clear Cast Resin.

I felt like making some jewelry, so I decided to use my tiny kitty mold made with Amazing Mold Putty and a kitty I got from my last trip to Wisconsin. I poured two pieces using the Amazing Casting Resin, because as I mentioned before I love to hand paint the entire piece, sometimes I might add a little Alumilite Dye to color the resin.

I began with equal balls of Amazing Mold Putty parts "A" and "B"; mixed completely then pressed my kitty into the Amazing Mold Putty; and waiting for mold to be done (takes about 5 to 10 minutes). 

I just took a couple of items I had on hand, and made a pin and a pendant, as you can see below. I added some bling to each painted resin kitty head –  one a pin, where you can always add a chain and turn it into a pendant; and the pendant paired with a necklace I already had... I thought the colors worked well together.

My "Kitty pin and pendant" are all ready to go to their new home!!! 

Now I know a couple of people that love cats in my family

that these would make for really nice gifts for.

How do you like to be ready to create, when you suddenly feel the need to get crafty? Do you make pieces ahead of time just for those days? I hope I have inspired you to get excited about creating with Amazing Crafting Products.

What would you mold to transform
into a wearable piece of art?

Oh the AMAZING Possibilities! #Cre8time with Cat Kerr our Featured Artist for May!

Greetings AMAZING Crafters! Today we welcome back our Featured Artist Cat Kerr who is sharing a fabulous tutorial with us today that will totally send you running to your craft cave ready to create! Enjoy :) Sb

• • • • •

I have been using Amazing Casting Resin for over three years now and I still find it to be, not only one of my favorite products, but also one of the most versatile. One of my new favorite ways to use it is with embossing folders.

Embossing Folders are primarily used in paper arts. You add a piece of cardstock in between the folder and then run it through an embossing machine like the Spellbinders Grand Calibur, Sizzix, etc. But today, were going to use them then in a different way! With so many brands and styles to choose from, you can see why I'm so excited about this technique.

Before beginning add some wax paper to your table top. This helps to protect your surface. Next add some Alumilite Gold Metallic Powder to the folder.

Mix up two equal parts of Amazing Casting Resin and add a drop of Alumilite Black Dye to part "A" and mix thoroughly. Please CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation.

Prop your folder up – making sure the base is flat. Combine parts "A" and "B" of Amazing Casting Resin together stirring completely, and gently pour your resin on top of the folder. Using a popsicle stick, spread it out to desired thickness.

Once cured, gently peel off your resin embossed sheet. Clean your folder with a baby wipe. I simply love the organic edges.

Now my noggin can think up many many ways to use these resin embossed sheet... I can paint a wood box and glue on the sheet in assorted locations, giving the piece texture.

It can also give a handmade journal that extra kick...

I can even make some soldered jewelry...

...and because I have issues with throwing out scraps I also created this magnet using the cut up scraps to make this mosaic like background. I then covered it in Amazing Clear Cast Resin.

With so many embossing folder designs and

the assorted metallic powders the designs are endless.

Happy Creating friends. ~ Cat

#Cre8time for an AMAZING Straightening ACT... Fabulous Rhinestone REDUX by Maria Soto

Hi there, this is Maria bringing you an inspirational post today. We have some new fun products to play with, so I thought I would try these fun Alumidust products to share a few creative ways to use Amazing Clear Cast Resin and Alumidust!!!!

Here is a pair of earrings I made. They are just a single row of rhinestones, but you can see the metal back side. I wanted to do something to cover the standard silver back and also make them lay straight.

After making a mold of the earrings using Amazing Mold Putty, I brushed some of the Alumidust in gold on the mold. I mixed and prepared a small amount of the Amazing Clear Cast Resin and poured a tiny amount into the mold – just enough to cover the backside of the earrings. I let this cure overnight. 

The next day I went to check on the mold and removed the earrings. I was so happy to see that the resin worked!!! It colored the back side gold and the earrings are now fun to wear because they lay flat. 

Here is the mold showing the Gold Alumidust applied -

ready for the Amazing Clear Cast Resin.

You can see the earrings placed into the mold with the resin; just waiting for the Amazing Clear Cast Resin to cure. 

So I have used resin to create molds, to adhere embellishments and now to fix my jewelry. It is fun to have a product that can be used is so many different ways. 

Photo shows the front side of the earrings – and you can see a nice gold border created by using the Gold Alumidust. The Amazing Clear Cast Resin worked perfectly to stiffen up these earrings,without adding weight – creating very light earrings. 

Here you can see the front and back side of the earrings. 

I think they look absolutely amazing on my fabulous model, too!

What fun ways have you used

CHARMING #Cre8time Fun with Bottle Caps... a tutorial by Maria Soto

Hi, this is Maria and today I'm bringing you a simple project. My daughter asked me if I could make her some resin bottle cap charms – one for her and one for her boyfriend, with images from their favorite movie characters. I had thought about doing this before but always got distracted with other ideas.

First things first! I need to gather some images, print them to size, and cut them out. Now the bottle caps I used I purchased from the craft store, they were all silver color and had pre-drilled holes on them. I decided to use some alcohol inks to add a little bit of color to the bottle caps. I didn't want to completely paint the caps, but you can if you want to. 

I used Ranger Glossy Accents to adhere the paper images inside the bottle caps. I also painted some on the front of the images as well to seal them. 

Select the image you want to use, and reduce to size. You can use your photographs or something you drew... this is my daughter's favorite movie. The bottlecap will be added to a charm she's going to add to her key ring.

Once your image is cut, add some glue to the bottle cap. Then place the image inside and seal the image, then set it aside to dry.

Bottle cap is now ready for application of Amazing Clear Cast Resin. This one is a magnet, so there will be no beads added. I might add a tiny crystal once the resin is poured.

Here are the bottle caps – each colored with alcohol inks, and images glued and sealed with Ranger Glossy Accents. I've added bead to three of them. One as a pendant, the other three will become key chain charms.

The final step is adding the Amazing Clear Cast Resin. These are small bottle caps, so I mixed 1 tablespoon of each of parts "A" and "B". Mix the resin slowly and thoroughly then let it sit for a while to make sure there are no bubbles {CLICK HERE to view preparation}.

Amazing Clear Cast Resin is all ready for mixing and pouring. 

Use the mixing stick to add the resin to the bottle caps – you don't want them to overflow. Let the resin set overnight to cure. Now all you have to do is add the keyring and chain and these are ready to go to their owners. 

Captain America key chain charm - all done. 

My youngest son is into animation and this is one of his original characters,

all ready to be added to his keyring. 

All charms are done, these are going to be great gifts for my kids! 

This was a very fun project, I think I might make some with

family photos to give away as gifts to my siblings.

Materials used:

• Assorted bottle caps (purchased from craft store)
• Amazing Clear Cast Resin
• 2 mixing cups
• 1 mixing stick
• Alcohol inks - assorted colors
• Headpins 
• Assorted beads
• Flat nose pliers
• Round nose pliers with wire cutter
• Ranger Glossy Accents
• Scissors
• Key rings
• Necklace/chain

How will you use customize your bottlecaps

using Amazing Clear Cast Resin?
