Craft With Me!

Come and make wax seals with me! So I was on Amazon......Isn't this how it all starts?  Or was in Instagram?  Shoot IDK but I was looking for a new craft and I found some wax seals.  How fun is this?  I make cards so why not make some wax seals to add that extra special touch.   I would just go to amazon and search for a wax seal kit.  That is what I did. The one I got was around 20.00 and came with everything I needed to get started except a lighter to light the tea light!  Amazon link  of the kit I bought. It came with tea lights, wax pellets, markers, the wax stamps, some envelopes, the little scooper spoon thing and holder so I can melt the wax.  It didn't come with the wax seal mat I am using, but I did buy that on amazon as well.

 Come and make UV resin glitter pens with me! A year or so ago, I decided I was going to make resin cups.  I bought a turner and all the supplies then went to work.  It took forever.  Like a week to create a cup and because I had to make everything outside I dealt with resin not curing in cold weather, dust, newspaper sticking to my cup due to wind and you name it!   Per my last blog you saw that I've been playing with UV resin.  It cures in minutes and not days, UV rays from the sun will cure it so you don't want to do the entire process outside which helps so much. Long story short, I love making glitter pens and have even gotten the water slides out.  In this blog I will show you how to make glitter pens the right way AND how to use water slides. Lets get started. Products you need: Ink Joy gel pens-These are refillable and one barrel so you can glitter the entire pen.  They are avail on Amazon, Target, Walmart and prob a few other places. Glitter-Any will do, fine glitter w

Make UV resin stuff with me!  Of course once everyone saw what I was doing others wanted to make stuff too! I've had all this resin stuff for over a year.  When I decided to make glitter tumblers, I bought a lot of other resin molds and things so that I could make resin items.  Well, shockingly I never did.  That was a year ago.  Everything turned out really nice! The kits were super inexpensive and came with all kinds of stuff including the light, a small bottle of resin, molds, glitter, and well here it is. Link to UV resin kit  I paid 16.99 plus tax, however, Amazon does change prices from time to time, so check out other listings.  Just make sure its a UV Resin Kit that includes the light and resin if you need it.  There are so many kits avail that you will want all of them. For UV resin you need a UV light to cure the resin.  This set came with one and I pulled out a gel UV light for my nails and that will work too. This is a pic of the table.  You can see all the stuff I drug

 Hello and welcome to 2022!  My blog is officially 1 year old!  I am so excited to still be interested in blogging my craft ideas and my new craft adventures. Today we are talking about sublimating tumblers.  I have sublimated many things at this point including coffee mugs, keychains, washcloths, pillowcases, car coasters, coozies, mousepads, puzzles among other things.
