All this week, the Stampendous Design Team has been enjoying the fun crafting potential of combining their fantastic stamp images with EnviroTex Jewelry Resin from Environmental Technologies. For my second resin project, I decided to create some resin papers!

{April’s Azure Dream Paper}

* Stampendous Supplies: Dandelion Wish Perfectly Clear Stamp
* Envirotex Jewelry Resin
* Tsukineko: Staz On
* Stampington & Company: Artists’ Paper ” The Restless Sea” by Chelsea Edwards

* I started by stamping some pretty dandelions onto some heavy weight artists’ paper using staz on.

* This is what it looked like after I finished my stamping.

* Then I mixed up my resin and used a make up applicator to rub it over both sides of my paper giving it a good coat of resin. Then I set it to the side to dry!

* Here are a couple of shots of the paper after it dried. It was so cool! I let the lights glare on it to help show the glaze of resin on the paper.

* I can’t wait to scrap with these!!!

{April’s Autumn Spice Resin Paper}

* Stampendous Supplies: Autumn Words Stamp (New for CHA 2012)
* Envirotex Jewelry Resin
* Tsukineko: Staz On
* Stampington & Company: Artists’ Paper ” To Whom It May Concern” by Chelsea Edwards

* I basically repeated the same process for my second paper using a different stamp and artists’ paper.

* This is how it looked after I stamped it, but before I added the resin.

* I gave this paper two good coats on the front side,  instead of just one like I did on the first paper, and I liked the end results better because it had more resin and a glossier finish as you can see below!

{Iris Kraft ResinTag}

* Stampendous Supplies: Jumbo Iris Cling Stamp
* Envirotex Jewelry Resin
* Tsukineko: Staz On
* Ranger: Kraft Tag

* I had a little resin left over in my cup, so rather than waste it, I decided to cover a tag and stamped owl image that I had already created the day before.

{Steam Punk Owl Paper Resin Embellishment}

* Stampendous Supplies: Steampunk Owl (New for CHA 2012)
* Envirotex Jewelry Resin
* Tsukineko: Staz On
* STAEDTLER: Watercolor Crayons
* Other: Watercolor paper, Gesso

I had a lot of fun making the resin papers and look forward to making more. I can’t wait to use them in my art projects and promise to show them here on my blog soon!

Carmi Cimiata of the Resin Crafts Blog has helped us learn so much about how this product works, and what it can and cannot do. We’re so appreciative of her and the folks at ETI who sent us all some resin to play with! I know I for one am sending some love their way seeing as how they just gave me my first opportunity to play with resin!
