#Cre8time Upcyling Transformations... Ice Pack to #Sugarskull Blank by Brenda Burfeind

Hello crafties! Brenda here from Creativity is a State of Mind and I'm excited to show you something cute with today's post. I've been trying to get ready for Halloween and while digging through my Halloween stash, I found this ice pack I had received last year! I have no need for ice packs, so in my Halloween crafty stash is went. Well, when I found it this year I had a little lightbulb moment.

I had to freeze the ice pack because if I tried molding it while it was jelly I wasn't sure how it would form. After it was frozen, I created a mold of it by pressing it into a prepared batch of Amazing Mold Putty {CLICK HERE to view mixing/preparation}.

I created the piece using Amazing Casting Resin

{CLICK HERE to see mixing instructions}.

After about 5 minutes the piece was cured and I drew my design with a pencil right onto the resin. That's what I so love about these resin pieces also... you can draw and color directly onto them!

Then I had fun coloring it in with my markers of all sorts.

I think I will put a magnet on the backside and have a new embellishment for my refrigerator! I know I'm not that good on coloring but I plan to make a couple more of these blanks and giving them out on Halloween to the neighborhood trick-or-treaters with some candy of course!

I hope you've enjoyed my post today and I can't wait to show you something I have in the works for next time.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time, Brenda saying "see you soon"!

#Cre8time Inspired... Easy Peasy Box Decor by Aimée Wheaton

This simple project came together super fast! It makes a great gift idea or an embellishment to a gift that will be treasured for a long time. This will have lots of glitter and shine for a long time to come! I made this for my daughter, it will match her room and she can hold her little trinkets in it. This wooden box was purchased for $1.99 at a craft store – it's a card holder box for playing cards but can be used in other ways.

Here's what you'll need to create this look:

• Wooden craft box
• Masking Fluid
• Watercolors
• 1 sheet of water color paper to catch all the extra water
• brush
• water
• Amazing Clear Cast Resin
• Glitter
• Flat back craft gems

Using masking fluid, draw desired design

onto wooden box and let dry.

Paint over the masking fluid and then take it off when
completely dry. Now you're ready to add the resin!

Glitter and Amazing Clear Cast Resin!!

Look how shimmery it is!!

Simple with a big impact!! Amazing Clear Cast Resin makes a nice finishing touch on any of your projects. Look for more amazing ways to use this resin by searching in the side bar!

Show us what you embellish!

The Moon of the Wolf... by Guest Designer Lyn Gill

"The Moon of the Wolf"

Hi, Lyn here and I've been having so much fun getting ready for Halloween. How about you? I have a Spooky Halloween project for you today.

  

First I started off with a polymer clay wolfs head that I hand sculpted. I used Amazing Mold Putty to form a mold around the piece and let it set up.

Then I removed the original – I love this part don't ask me why... LOL. I just love how perfectly the Amazing Mold Putty captures the details I work into my pieces.

I then quickly mixed my Amazing Casting Resin with the Alumilite Dye in Black. You could even dust the mold with some Alumilite Metallic Powder in Gunmetal for a little shimmer. Then before the resin sets up, I place 2 handmade bails (just twisted wire bails) in the ears so I would be able to hang the piece from the moon which I also created from polymer clay.

Here's a look at the original and the Amazing Casting Resin piece. I think it really turned out nice, don't you? I hope this will give you a little inspiration for this Halloween Season – a spooky little Treat from me to you!
