Sealing Wax Meets UV Resin - Tutorial + Freebie

Hello everyone!

While working on the specimen tags for my next nature themed journal, I decided to make wax charms and thought about a way of making them look a bit more interesting. I also had a UV Resin in my stash that I wanted to use along with the wax, so this seemed to be a great chance of trying something new. 

Here are the tags that I finally came up with:

I relly liked the bass dowel seals for creating the charms. They were perfect for this purpose. I got mine from Craspire:

Dragonfly Mini Brass Stamp

Flower Mini Brass Stamp

Mushroom Mini Brass Stamp

The charms turned out awesome, with the UV Resin dome on top of them they look like cabochons. 

I filmed a video tutorial in which I share my creative process. I hope you find it helpful and inspiring :)

For those who want to use some of the images and elements that I used on my tags, I have a freebie below. Open the image in a new tab and click "Save As..."

I printed this sheet one time on cardstock and the second time on transparent sticker paper, so that I could use the butterflies and the bugs on top of the acetate in the tag window. 

Let me know what you think of this idea. Have fun creating!

April 2022 Release from La-La Land Crafts - Day 5

Hello and happy Tuesday to all!

I love spring!! It is my favorite time of the year! Isn't it nice to feel even more inpired not only by the beautiful nature outside, but also by the wonderful products from the new release by La-La Land Crafts!?

Here is my card for the DAY 5 of the showcase:

The 'In Bloom' stamp set can be used on any card! Coloring foral doodles is fun and relaxing. You can even use just plain markers or pencils for coloring the images in, in any case they will look great.

The focal point of my card are the shaker vase and the butterfly. For the first time I have created a see through shaker element and I like it a lot. I didn't want to cover any parts of the colored floral clusters, so using acetate for the back layer of the shaker seemed perfect. 

I also used the 'clearest' type of sequins that I had :) I like that they have a flat back and don't have a hole in the middle.

Be sure to check the carious butterfly dies from April Release, they are gorgeous!!
