Resin Coasters (Ocean Waves)

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friend’s! Hope everyone is have a great Tuesday. Today I decided to make some resin coasters and make them look like the ocean water. Keep in mine I just pour these right now. And they needed 24 hours to set. I’ll list all products down below.

The resin is still moving around and will continue for a few more hours.
The colors I choose are Mermaid mica pigment and White Matte oxide pigment made by Color Joy. And Deep Sea Blue by Black Diamond.
The important thing to remember is prep everything first. Make sure you pick your colors, molds, sticks, paper towels, baby wipes and heat gun to pop any bubbles. Before you mix your resin.
I love using Art Resin for all my pours. I like that I have 60 minutes to work with Art Resin before it starts to harden. My pour today was 4 ounce of resin and 4 ounce of harden. Then I mix with my stick for 3 minutes. Took my three colors, put just a little of powders in a Dixie cups and pour my resin in and mix to the flow I like.
I always have a extra mold standing by in cases I have extra. And you can see I did today.
I really love the way theses colors shine. I cant wait until they harden. I will post tomorrow what they look like. Thank you for checking out my little blog. I like to keep thing simply and right to the point. Again Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

Geode Coaster With Art Resin

10 Aug 2022 Leave a comment

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! I just wanted to share some Geode Coaster I made for a dear friend. The Resin products I used for this is called Art Resin. I love using this product because it has a 60 minute before it starts to harden. That gives me plenty of time to get creative with my colors.

This is the top of the Geode Coasters.
This is the bottom look of the Geode Coasters. You can use either side of the Geode Coasters. I love the cloudy look.

I always like to pick my color I use before I even get started. The products I used here are: “Color Joy” Black Pearl, Gunmetal Mica Pigment and White matte by the same company. I first pour my clear Art Resin that I mix for 3 minutes into my Geode moulds. Then I sprinkle in Let’s Resin glitter powder silver. Then mix my colors and just started pouring.

I started pouring with the gunmetal first and then black pearl. Then I went with the white matte. Keep in mind just pour a little bit each time with all the colors. To create the look you want. I move the black and white around gentle with a stick. Once I get the look I like I stop. It take 24 hours to harden completely.

Hello my crafty friends! Today I wanted to share my favorite resin I used to make some coasters. I love using Art Resin because it has a hour to work with before it starts to harden. Which for me that great. I don’t have to hurry to pour what ever I create. Also every time I use Art Resin my project come out beautiful.

This is what they look like wet. But keep in mind when complete harden they will look total different.
I always set up everything before I even mix my resin and hardener. My colors I pick our deep gold shimmer, lemon, light gold shimmer white and coffee. The products are by Color Joy. I also added imitation gold leaf schabin flakes and tiny gold stars.
Art Resin and Art Resin Hardener
I will come back in morning to see how they look. Once completely harden I will do another clear coat over them. I’ll share in a couple of days to see how they came out.

Thank you for checking out my blog. Have a wonderful day.

27 Feb 2022 3 Comments

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! Today I received the new Tim Holtz distress embossing glaze products. So those who know me know I jump right in to create a coupe of background for future cards. Here is what I came up with and I truly had fun creating theses backgrounds.

Embossing glazes I uses are wilted violet, picked raspberry, candied apple, wild honey, twisted citron and salty ocean.
Used Tim Holtz ranger texture paste opaque matte and simon says stamps stencil call egg hunt and strathmore mixed media paper vellum surface. Cover the hold stencil with the paste.
Took the embossing glaze and sprinkle a little bit here and there. Once I got the look I liked, then I slightly tap underneath the card stock with my fingers to spread the glaze around.
Took a heat gun and started drying the embossing glaze until it became glossy looking.
Wow! I love the way these backgrounds look. Can’t wait to make cards with them. But next I’m going to make more backgrounds first, using other techniques with the embossing glazes. So stay tune.

Thank you for checking out my blog. And have a wonderful day.
