Ice Resin Embellishments by Jennifer McGuire!



Happy STAMPtember 5th, everyone!


Have you ever used Mold 'N Pour? I was able to play with some at Ranger U. and it was really fun! It feels like Silly Putty and you can use it on just about anything. You can also use it with Ice Resin...

Here is a great technique tutorial by Jennifer McGuire! In the video she shows how to make molds and create new embellishments with the molds & ice resin!


She made some of these using Prima's Flower Sculpture embellishments.


Here's the video!



Some items used in this video:
-Mold 'n Pour
-Frost White Reinker by Colorbox
-Distress Reinkers by Tim Holtz
-Craft Sheet by Ranger
-Craft Sticks
-Craft Knife
-Ice Resin
-Craft Scissors
-Glossy Accents
-Perfect Pearls Pigment Powders
-Acrylic Block

    I was smiling all the way to work this morning, even though the rain was poring! But it felt like a really good start anyway :)

    It looks like another beautiful summer/fall day here. I will be mowing the lawn once the dew is gone and enjoying the sunshine. I enjoyed Jennifer's video today using two products I have never used but have wondered how they work.

    В этот пасмурный день я проснулась с мыслью что мне совсем не хочется на работу, но душ и чашка чая с лимоном меня взбодрили, весело бежала на работу хлюпая по лужам :)


    p.s.
    Forgive for my English
    This cloudy day I have woken up with thought that wouldn't be desirable me for work at all, but a shower and a cup of tea with a lemon me have encouraged, cheerfully ran for work squelching on pools :)

    hmmmm....if I ever get myself off this computer, I hope to get out in the yard and pick up some twigs, branches, etc. left behind by Hurricane Irene so I can mow my way too long grass! Hate to think we'll be closing things up here in New England soon - don't care for winter much. :( But having new stamps to play with would make me :)!!!

I always end up distracted by a pretty bauble I "forgot" I had. Then, I have no choice but to get crafty! Thanks for the vid from Jennifer and the chance to win that fab stamp set...it has EVERY image I've liked from HA's individual sets...LOVE IT! :)

    Today I went to work. That's pretty much it :( In the evening I have washed my hair and checked some blogs. I suspect, that many crafters & active bloggers don't have 8-16 jobs - how else would they have so much time to create?

    We met at the park with the kids, grandkids, my niece and my great nephew, so all the kids could play on the playground. Enjoyed each other's company. It's chilly today, all had sweatshirts on and it was a tad windy, but the kids had fun together :O) Good ole Indiana weather, almost 100 2 days ago, today it's in the 60's, big change in temps! I like the cooler better :O) Hope everyone is having a safe, happy, labor day weekend. Hugs! Leah Ann

    Our daughter, son-in-law, and two darling grandsons just left after spending Sat & Sun with us. Did lots of swimming and walking. It finally feels like fall in Illinois, but is now way too quiet!
