Amazing Mold Putty is so easy to use! It is a two-part putty, that you mix equal parts together and press your object to be molded into it. You can then use the mold over and over again.  I wanted to mold an antique key for my project.

I use do many of my molded embellishments on cards and layouts so I don't like for them to be to heavy...also I'm not a patient person and always want it to dry quick, so I used the Delight ™ Air Dry Modeling Compound, which is lighter in weight than the Paperclay and the dry time is less. . I just pressed the Delight into the mold, let it dry for a bit to set up and then release from the mold and finish drying.

With the key being paper it's really ready for any finish you can think of.  I painted my key with smooch and then highlighted with inka gold rub for an antique finish.

 

Now that I've shared my project with you, it's time to hop on to Barbara Moore Blog !

Create Your Own Embellishments

Good Morning Everyone.  This is a card I created where I made my own charm/button embellishments.  It was so easy.  The flowers at the bottom were created using Amazing Mold Putty  and then  Creative PaperClay.  I have a step by step tutorial here, if you would like to learn more.

The stamp is from Heartfelt Creations, another beauty.

Hugs,

Fun With PaperClay

Have you played with Creative PaperClay yet?  If not, why?  Not sure what to do with it?  Well today I'm going to share a simple tutorial with you that will have you running to your nearest craft store to pick some up and start playing.

First let me tell you Paperclay is like clay but it's paper and dries light as a feather ready to use on your card, layouts or anything else you can think of.  Also with it being paper it so compatible with so many different products, dies, glues, inks, stains, mists, rubs...well you get the idea.  So onto our simple rose tutorial.

In the photo above I show you the first five steps. Create a small ball and flatten as thin as you can without tearing.  I use my fingers as I love the look of my fingerprints in the finished petals...makes it look like the veins on a real rose but paperclay works beautifully with any tools...so the choice is yours.  Then just roll your flattened petal into a center rose bud leaving the end a bit open. You've created your base for your rose flower.  Repeat step one and two and then apply to your base rose bud.  Continue to do this until you have the desired size for your flower.

Your next step is to let your rose air dry.  The petals are thin, so I only let mine dry overnight and then they were ready for the next step.  Remember I said how compatible PaperClay is, Glimmer Mist works great.  Spritz your flower with desired color and let dry.

For the final step for the roses I added some Viva Gold rub to the edges of the petals.  It just gave a really nice finishing touch.  I use a makeup sponge to apply, they're cheap so you don't mind tossing when it's time for a new one. 

So want to see what the roses look like in a project? 

This is an easel card that really became more of a sculpture once it was complete.  I wonder is it wrong to give yourself a card, LOL....I really can see this sitting on my office desk.  LOVE IT!!!

Finally a close up view of the rose cluster...Isn't your mind just going crazy thinking of all the things you could do with this product?
