Mini Frame - Sakura Hobby Crafts

Mini Frame

I must begin by saying I tried to make two things but didn't take into account that the mold for the second project was deeper so would take longer to dry and pulled the piece out and apart. Oops!

I tried to make my frame with a Halloween feel and the other project as well.

Supplies:

3D Crystal Lacquer

Terri Sproul Mixer - Shimmer Red

Terri Sproul Mixer - Color Enhancer Effect

Martha Steward Molds

Paper as background from The Robin's Nest

Plastic Spoon

Directions:

1. Take a clean mold and put in the shimmer red all around with the spoon. It doesn't take very much.

2. Then randomly pour in different areas the color enhance effect.

3. After that finish filling up the mold with 3D Crystal Lacquer.

4. Take the other end of the spoon (straight part) and light mix together the 3 mediums.

This is what the mold will look like. I only did this method with the frame.

The other piece which was a raised rose piece I only used the shimmer red and 3D Lacquer and it came out a very rich color and was beautiful until wet parts of the rose fell apart.

So if doing a deep mold allow for at least two days to dry.

5. Allow the frame mold (shallow mold) overnight or longer if needed to dry.

6.Then slowly pull the pieces out and if they need some excess cut off because of overfilling then lightly trim.

5.Afterwards I adhered a halloween type paper and then used the Lacquer to adhere the stand to the frame.

You could also put a letter in a frame for a monogram or a picture.

I just loved the look and color that came from it. It is very flexible and has almost a pearl like shimmer to it.

I enjoyed learning how to use these products in a mold and plan to try them out in my own homemade molds soon.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Breast Cancer Awareness Pendant - Sakura DT

Welcome to October!

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month

so I plan on trying lots of different things out this month with ribbons and making ribbons.

I figured that I would start off with making a necklace with a pink ribbon.

I think I should've used a lighter background so the ribbon would have stood out better but still happy with the way it turned out regardless.

 

 

Supplies:

3D Crystal Lacquer

Glass Tiles - Sakura Hobby Craft

Terri Sproul Jewel Effects Pearl Powder - Pink Sapphire Pearl

Pink Ribbon

Hemp Cord



Pink Cardstock

 

 

Use 3D Clear Lacquer to adhere the ribbon to the glass piece and the cardstock to that.

Attached the pink polka dotted ribbon to the back with lacquer.

Ran hemp cord through it.

Mixed 3D Lacquer and the pink sapphire pearl mixer down to as light of a pink as I could get it and brushed it over the top of the glass piece.

Note: If trying this I would go for a darker pink ribbon and something other than a pink cardstock background such as white so it shows up much better.

Amazing Crafting Product DT Call

This post is for Amazing Crafting Products Design Team Call!

I will admit I am new to their product and completely in love with what I've seen on their blog and videos.

Today was my first time ever using any craft molds and I used crafter's clay to make some embellishments for an altered journal.

Please excuse the picture. I tried to get close ups of the pieces but my camera died and my charger is no where to be found (now we know what I'll be doing the rest of this week). But due to a low battery the lighting and focus wouldn't work correctly.

I am so happy with the end result considering this is my first time.

Here is the journal:

Supplies:

Marblie Composition Notebook

The Robin's Nest Double-sided Paper (Fleur Admiral)

The Robin's Nest Fleur Sticker

Sassy Studio Designs Digi Stamp - Great Britain Honey

Martha Stewart Clay

Martha Stewart Silicone Molds

Copic Markers

Sakura Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer

ATG Gun

The embellishments were made by putting clay into the molds. 

First I put the corner edges in and popped them out carefully so they could dry. 

Then took white and the dark blue and mixed them until a lighter blue was formed. 

Filled the round frame-like silicone mold and leveled it off and left it in the mold to drive instead of popping it out and distorting.

After drying it was then popped out and the journal was then assembled with the following steps:

1. First covered the marbeled composition notebook with the double-sided paper.

2. Used the other side of the paper to put around the binding edge of the journal.

3. Then colored and adhered the Sassy image to the paper.

4. Adhered the fleur sticker.

5. Adhered the clay embellishments with the 3D Crystal Lacquer. (only takes a small amount.)

Enjoy!

Come back and visit again soon and can't wait to see what all I can make now that I've started!

Trinket Box for Sakura Hobby Crafts DT

Hello, I'm Jamie and I'm new to the design team but definitely not new to
Sakura's 3D Crystal Lacquer!

I was given it a few month ago and immediately in love and now learning how to use the Terri Sproul Mixers along with it!

For my first project, I decided to go with a small trinket box.
I'm still trying to get a hang of the Mixers. Not that they are hard to use. It's just me trying not to go too crazy with the 3D Lacquer with them. LOL.

I used their Sakura Hobby Crafts products as well as an embellishment word from a set sent in with my design team package from Want2Scrap!

Here is my project:

Everything was dry except the excess I put between the letters.
I love the shine!

Ingredients and Instructions:
Mini Trinket Box ($1 at Michaels)
Want2Scrap Chipboard Sentiments - Words of Love
3D Crystal Lacquer
Terri Sproul Mixer - Color Enhance Effect
Terri Sproul Mixer - Jewel Effects Shimmer Powder (Shimmer Violet)
Terri Sproul Mixer - Jewel Effects Pearl Powder (Citrine Pearl)

1. Sanded the box down.
2. Mixed small amount of the 3D Crystal Lacquer with a very small amount of Citrine Pearl, then used a sponge brush and dabbed it onto the word "Love."
3. Then took the Shimmer Violet and added with the lacquer and some color enhance effect and just kept adding here and there until I ended up with my desired color.
4.Then I put a coat of it on the trinket box. Decided on only one coat, I liked the way the stain of the wood came through from the opaque like coat.
5. Adhered the word "Love" on with the lacquer then covered the word with it and in between the letters.
6. Added 4 baubles to the corners and it was finished off.
