#Cre8time Transformations... AMAZING Copper Resin Finish by Tanya Ruffin

When I wanted to paint a piece of MDF that I had used in a previous studio space to look like copper, I never imagined how great it would turn out!

I learned a trick a long time ago that to make copper really pop you should paint your base a rust color. It took just 3 steps to achieve this great metallic finish!

Step 1. Paint surface a rust color.

Step 2. Mix your entire box of Amazing Clear Cast Resin and add a little (I used the end of a craft stick to dip) Alumilite Copper Metallic Powder. A little goes a LONG way!

Step 3. Make sure your surface is completely dry and you don't have any wet spots from cleaning. Tape off the edge of your surface and pour. You can use a foam brush or an old credit card to smooth it out.

Allow it to cure overnight. You may have some spots you need to even out later but it really does give it character. I used a file from the dollar store to clean up the edges.

And then... TADA!

The little touch up spots (see the circle above) looks awesome!

You can make your counter any color you want using the powders!

I love it!

What would you give a metallic finish?

Fashion meets #Cre8time... Quick and Easy Earrings with Aimée Wheaton

Ever have those days where you can't find earrings that go right with your outfit? Maybe you envision a certain look but can't find exactly what you're looking for. Well here is a super quick earring project that you can finish in under 30 minutes... depending how detailed you get. 

I bought these two bezels that were probably supposed to be for pendants but I love BIG earrings :)

I decided to try a technique I haven't tried yet on them just to see how they turned out.

Here is what you'll need:

• Amazing Casting Resin - this cures in under 10 minutes usually and is white when it's cured. 
• Alumilite Dye color of choice - I chose violet. 
• 2 Earring bezels 
• Glitter 
• Earring wires 
• Jump rings 
• Beads 
• Gloves 
• Popsicle stick 
• Measuring cups 
• Jewelry making tools 

Super easy – all it takes is some imagination for a lot of WOW!! 

Mix the Amazing Casting Resin, drop a drop of Alumilite Dye in, swirl around and add the glitter and beads. When cured, I turned them into earrings!

Easy!

Peasy!

Do you create jewelry on the fly?

Ever use resin to make it?

A #Cre8time Throwback to Nature... AMAZING Tree Bark Jewels by Tracy Alden

Hello! Tracy here with some Amazing Casting Products inspiration! Some years ago I had come up with an idea of using Amazing Mold Putty to create a Tree Bark Texture Plate to use with polymer clay. I often use that texture plate to this day, using some of the same techniques I was able to create new, easy yet stylish, jewelry with the help of Amazing Mold Putty and some Amazing Clear Cast Resin!

Even years after I made the original texture plate Amazing Mold Putty is still flexible enough to put the polymer clay and plate through a pasta machine to emboss polymer clay. 

As before I rubbed on some Alumilite Metallic Powder on the uncured clay, highlighting the embossed details and used a small oval cookie cutter to cut out ovals. I baked the clay ovals as per the manufacturers instructions. Once the ovals were cool to the touch I carefully sanded the edges and cleaned any dust off the pieces.

I mixed up some Amazing Clear Cast Resin and carefully applied it to the front of the polymer clay pieces. I let the resin sit for about 10 minutes before adding some small flat-backed crystals to the resin with a crayon (the wax of the crayons sticks just long enough to transfer crystals to the surface after lightly pressing the crayon on the surface of the crystal). Not only did the resin act as an adhesive for the crystals but it helped the colors of the metallic power appear more vivid.

I let the resin cure completely and used a jewelry hole punch to punch small hole through the top of each oval. This allowed me to put jumprings through each oval to create a one of a kind necklace!
