What do you get when you cross embossing folders & Amazing Casting Resin?

Incredible embellishments!

Here's how you can achieve the same results!

Supplies:

Amazing Casting Resin

Embossing folders
 

various inks, pastes, color sprays etc.
 

2 mixing pots - stir sticks


Instructions:

1. Pour equal parts of Part A and Part B of Amazing Casting Resin into separate mixing pots.

2. Pour Part A of your resin into Part B and stir well for about a minute.

3. Pour resin directly onto the embossing folder image.

4. Let your resin set-up, about 5-8 minutes (in a warm room).

5. Remove from the folder and embellish.

Please note: This resin WILL NOT HARM your folders!

You might like to trim the edges of your finished resin pieces or you might like the edges a little ragged, depending on your embossing folder. Whatever way you like it, you are going to love how quick and easy it is to add these dimensional embellishments to your paper craft projects.

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial.

More than a Mousetrap

Hi everyone Monica here to share a different type of project. I actually made this for a blog hop but I really wanted to share it on the AMP Blog.  This was a super fun project too.  I decided to pick apart  mousetrap, yes a mousetrap I am always looking around for that DIFFERENT!  Especially since AMP putty and resin fits that description to a tee.  The awesome orange flowers were made using the resin and I colored it using G&P enamel gel.  It gave it the funky glass like look.

Here is a close look at the flowers - shiny huh!?

 I added an image from a collage piece I got from Alpha Stamps and some other odds and ends - totally love the end product.  Now forget the mice and go get some mousetraps to alter.

Making a "Multiple Mold" with Amazing Mold Putty

Okay, so I know it is totally not Christmas anymore, but this post is one I didn't get to do at Christmas time so I'm doing it now!

Ever need to make multiples of an item you have . . . like 40 of them for a third grade class project? Well I did. As one of the room moms in my son's class, I came up with this ornament for the class to make and take home for parent Christmas gifts (the one above is the one my 3rd grader made). Most of it was paper and cotton. But can I make it easy on myself and make a paper belt buckle? Nooooooo . . . of course not! So, here's what I did. I started with making two single molds. I then made two "rounds" of belt buckles and then made a long brick from my Amazing Mold Putty, pressing all four of those buckles into the putty to create a "multiple mold." I was then set to make six buckles at a time. While 10 minute quick set Amazing Casting Resin is super fast (compared with others which can take 24 hours or more to set-up), can you imagine how long it would have taken to make 40 of these one at a time?!? I, for one, just don't have that sort of time. So this was a perfect solution to my problem.

To start, I mixed my Amazing Mold Putty using a 1:1 ratio of "A" and "B" (click on the link at the end of this post to go to their website for a tutorial).

Next, I pressed my metal buckle into the single small brick of putty I created. I then mixed my Amazing Casting Resin (use the link above for detailed instructions) - equal parts A and B. As soon as parts A and B are thoroughly mixed you can begin pouring into your mold (It will turn an opaque milky white when it is completely hardened unless you are using clear). Once it hardened (about ten minutes), I then repeated this process a second time to get my second single buckle mold. Once I had two buckles, I repeated this process another time making two at a time this round. Once I had four buckles, I then make a much larger (longer) mold putty brick and pressed all four of them into that brick to make it a "multiples mold." Take a look at my molds below.

Then I began making my 40 belt buckles. Since I certainly didn't want to mess around with trying to paint or color each of these belts in some way after they were made, I simply grabbed my Alumilite Metallic Powder in silver and quickly and easily brushed it into the mold before I poured my resin. The belts popped out already colored as you see in the ornament picture above (a close-up picture is below).

What do you think? I think they came out perfect! Amazing Mold Putty is so easy to use that I now make multiple molds even if I am just making a few of something because I am so impatient. I know when I am finished I can put the molds away for another use or I can pass one of the singles on to a friend . . . the gift that keeps on giving. What do you need to make in multiples? I know I say it every post, but I maintain . . . the possibilities are endless.

Thanks for checking out this month's project - Make sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think! Also, don't forget to check out the Amazing Mold Putty website for these and more Amazing products.
