Hello my crafty friends! Today I started making poinsettia cards for Christmas. Once I started I couldn’t stop. I use the new Tim Holtz distress oxide lumberjack plaid. I fell in love with this color. It’s a beautiful rich red Vibrant color.

When I was making the poinsettias, on one set I used distress spray stain and distress oxide spray lumberjack plaid. Love the two colors together on my water paper card stock. Then started cutting out my poinsettia using Tim Holtz tattered poinsettia die # 658261.

Tattered Poinsettia’s Cards
Also use distress spray stain rustic wilderness on watercolor paper. Took Tim Holtz droplets – metallic and Christmas, placed them in the middle of the poinsettias. Used Tim Holtz thinlits #660058 holiday words: script and #658759. Also used metallic classic kraft-stocks.

Resin Pouring Making Coffee Coasters

13 Sep 2022 Leave a comment

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! Yesterday I wanted to make some coffee coasters, so I pick my colors and got busy. The resin I used is called Art Resin and why I love to used this resin is because take 60 minutes before it starts to harden. And that’s a good working time for me. It is expensive resin but it’s worth it. I’ll list everything I used down below.

Coffee Coaster’s
Color’s I pick are Mahogany by Black Diamond, Coffee mica Pigment by Color Joy, White Matte Oxide Pigment also by Color joy and Brown Glitter Powder by Let’s Resin.
My ratio for these molds with resin was 10 ounce and 10 ounces of harder. Again I love using Art Resin and when mixing the resin and harder together it only takes 3 minutes. Once done I can pour what I need to my colors. And mix well with each powder.
I always like to start pouring with my darkest color first, them medium color, white and last my glitter. It all depends on the design I’m looking for with my coasters. Sometimes I have started with the glitter first. I love to move resin around with a stick first and then take my heat gun and pop bubbles. There are time I also like to use my heart gun to move the resin around too.
This picture is the backside of the coasters which I love the way they came out. You can use either sides of the coasters.
I love the colors I used in the first set of coasters, so I decided last night to make some more coaster using the same colors but different molds. And wow the picture on the left is the front and the two picture to the right is the backside of the coasters. Beautiful!
Check this out I had a little bit left over of the white and the coffee. So I decided to pour the white in a flower mold and then I took the coffee and pour on top. And this his how it came out “stunning”. Now I’m going to make three more to match this beautiful one.

Resin Pouring Making Beautiful Coasters

Hello my crafty friends! Last night I made these awesome resin coasters. I must say that I love the way they came out. Colors that I pick were vibrant, and had this beautiful shimmery look to them. Also this wonderful glitter I used. I was so happy the way they came out today. I’ll list the products I used down below.

Here there still in the molds. It takes about 24 hour to set and 48 hour to harden completely. Once completely harden you can pull them out of there molds.
I always like to pick my color first and the molds I’m going to use. I make sure everything is ready before I start my coasters.
My favorite resin I use is call Art Resin. I love that I have 60 minutes to work with this product before it starts to harden. It’s plenty of time for me. When you mix your products together it takes only 3 minutes to mix. And I add those 3 minutes to my 60 minutes working time. I hope this make sense to you guys.

My first color I used is called Mermaid by Color Joy, 2nd color is Teal by Let’s Resin a Chameleon Powder, mixology glitter sky blue opal also by Let’s Resin and last one I use is by Black Diamond called white diamond effect.

Here’s a picture of all four colors I used. When mixing the color and resin together make sure you mix well.
Here is my finished coaster and what they look like. I hope you like them and if you do please leave me a comment or like. Thank you for checking my blog. Have a wonderful day,

Resin Coasters (Ocean Waves)

23 Aug 2022 Leave a comment

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.
