ICE Resin® - Ranger - Liquid Pearls Paint Skins

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a post up on the ICE Resin® blog.  

I love how all three of the projects turned out so I am excited for this post to be live.  In the tutorial I share with you how to use Ranger Liquid Pearls, Tints, ICED Enamels®, and Glitter to create Liquid Pearl Paint Skins.  Once the paint skins are dry they can be removed from the studio sheets.  You can use the bezel template to trace and cut a piece of the paint skin to fit perfectly into the bezels.  Top with ICE Resin® and create some beautiful jewelry.

I have a step-by-step tutorial with lots of pictures on the ICE Resin® blog.  If you would like to see the tutorial you can click HERE to visit the ICE Resin® blog.  I encourage you to give this technique a try--it is even one that beginners can do.

If you have any questions or comments please leave them below.  Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful day and get a chance to create something beautiful!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

Pink Rose & Crystal Cross Necklace and Earrings - Guest DT for ButterBeeScraps

Hello everyone!  Today, I am very excited to tell you that I am a Guest Designer for ButterBeeScaps.  I love using all of the beautiful metal filigrees, rhinestones, and jewelry findings to create jewelry.  So when Monique, owner of ButterBeeScraps, asked me if I would like to guest design I was happy to say yes! :) 

But before I get to my project I wanted to let you know there is a

Here is a look at the goodies I received.  I have been having so much fun creating with these beautiful pieces and I have several ideas already sketched out for future projects.

This is the pink rose and crystal cross necklace and earring set I created.  To start I added glossy accents to the floral image and then placed a Small Round GLASS Cabochons (#CAB018) on top and moved it around until I had it centered on the image.  Then, I set the piece aside to dry for a few minutes.  Once the piece was dry I turned it over to the back side and fussy cut the excess of the image from the cabochon.  Next, I added glossy accents to the back of the glass cabochon and placed it inside of the Small Bronze Round Cabochon Settings (#F018D-B).  

I used E6000 to adhere the cabochon setting to the Bronze Decorative Cross Pendants (#J397-B).  This is such a pretty cross and it has a lot of detail.  To finish off the cross I added some SS16 Light Rose Flat Back Glass Rhinestones.  I added a couple of jump rings to the cross and then I added some chain and beaded spacers.

Here is a close up of the beaded spacers.  I used powder pink crystal beads and darker pink beads along with the Clear Rhinestone and Bronze Rondelle Spacer Beads – 6mm (#BD006-B/CL).  I thought the beaded spacers were pretty and would dress up the chain.

To create the earrings I used some of the Bronze Ball End Head Pins, Clear Rhinestone and Bronze Rondelle Spacer Beads – 6mm (#BD006-B/CL), and the same beads that were used for the necklace.  I also used the Bronze Ball End Head Pins along with the 1-Step Ear Wire Maker Tool to make the ear wires.  

I hope you enjoyed today's jewelry projects.  If you like to make jewelry this would be a quick and easy jewelry project to make for a Christmas gift or any other occasion.

Thank you so much for stopping by and stay warm!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

ButterBeeScraps - Jewelry Share - Quick and Easy Earrings - ICE Resin - ArtCult Digital Images

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a couple of jewelry pieces to share with you--a necklace and a pair of earrings. If you are looking for any jewelry projects for Christmas gifts the earring I am sharing today are very quick and easy to make.

Here is the necklace that I designed.  I love this sweet image of the girl with the butterfly.  I used a digital image from ArtCult on Etsy.  I absolutely love the images from this shop!  There are so many to choose from and they come in a variety of sizes.  The best part--there is an instant download and what you see is what you get.  I am not affiliated with her shop but I do highly recommend it. :)  I added the image to a Hobnail Long Rectangle Bezel and then filled it with ICE Resin.  Then I used different little bits and pieces form ButterBeeScraps to embellish the bezel and create the beaded dangle.  I used one of the Bronze Metal Filigree Embellishments (#550-B) on the bezel and then I added some copper micro beads and Light Colorado Topaz Flat Backs SS12.  I thought the copper and topaz would bring out the colors in the butterfly.  To create the beaded dangle I used a Bronze Ball End Headpin, Bronze Filigree Bead Caps (#CAP052-B), Clear Rhinestone and Bronze Rondelle Spacer Beads – 6mm (#BD006-B/CL), and a couple of beads from my own stash.

Here is another photo of the necklace.

These are the earrings I designed.  Like I said if you are looking for some quick and easy Christmas presents these earrings would be perfect.  I used the pretty Silver Shepard Hook Earring Wires w/ Rhinestones (#J594-S).  For the wings I used the Stainless Steel Wings Metal Filigree Embellishments (#686-ST) and added Clear AB Flat Backs SS20, SS16, SS12.  Easy peasy--done in 5 minutes or less!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
