Pastel Cup Cake Rings

Pastel Cupcake Rings Hi everyone in this post I am showing off some of my pastel cupcake rings. I used model magic and tinted white clay with pastel craft store paint. There are so many cheap paints to choose from I did not worry about quality. The cupcake bottoms were made with a FuwaFuwa mold (i think) or Padico. The cookies were made with a Padico mold for certain. I love making these and am currently brain storming a plan to have these up for sale.  So this is how I work the cupcakes out and its a process, it usually takes a few days for the clay to dry and I like to work out the colors before hand. Going forward I think I need to plan out how many colors I plan on using because sometimes I was left with more brown wafers and less mint wafers or more mint cookies and less strawberry cookies. As you can see there are all these orange pieces to the right of the screen. I really didnt know why I made them and honestly I did not use them at all except where

EGL Resin Coffins

So two months ago I started on a trip down resin road and I have not yet come back. I really love making coffins specifically. I like geometric shapes and am working on building a collection of molds in various shapes like triangles, hexagons, squares ect. These are just 6 of the designs Ive come up with, if you want to see more designs follow me on instagram: glitter_witch_crafts I have been working on a method for design and how to make a composition. So far I've worked out a plan to make these work.  First off I am using a mold from Sophie and Toffee and its a good mold. There are replicas on ebay and amazon. At this moment I am looking for smaller coffin molds to make daintier charms but cannot find any, now Sophie & Toffee are coming out with another coffin shape mold but I would have to subscribe to get it and I am not looking to take this subscription again. I liked getting the different molds but alot of them I just dont use so I have ventured out to look

#Inktober 2018 1 week recap

Hi everyone welcome to my Inktober for 2018. This year I have tried to make more of an effort to have a complete idea. My goal is to develop a method for creating a complete idea. I do not always think through my drawings and often times end up with an unfinished sketch or rough idea. So this year I have been making the effort to go forward until a drawing is finished. I'm not looking to make 31 drawings just 31 post to my social media. The posts will be in various stages of development because I need to work on creating a complete idea. I used to hate making a solid composition and purposely wanted an unfinished idea but now that I'm older I see how truly unfinished my work looked, it just wasn't complete. So now I'm working on what  complete means to me and what I consider a complete piece. If you want to see all of the photos from Inktober 2018 please look at my instagram Glitter_Witch_Crafts to see how everything turned out. This was my first post for the

Card Project Sare - Pink Envelope and Mini File Folder

Hello everyone in this post I will be showing you a finished project. This was one of those projects where you aren't sure where to start out but you end up finishing with something really great. In this project I used two pieces of pink colored card stock, pastel pink pigment inks from Michaels. If you want to know what I think of those inks then ready my review here . So here is how I made this set of cards. The mini folder can be used to hold items it is about half the size of a regular file folder or less. I took my Darice embossing folder and embossed the two sheets of colored card stock. Then I scored and cut my card into a panel. I stamped my sentiments on white card stock and gave them some dimension with foam squares. The mini file folder is really easy to make if you have the We Are Memory Keepers File folder punch board or the 123 Punch Board. I do not own to the File Punch (though I want it), I used the 123 Board, on the board there is an arrow shaped punch and that c

Makeup Monday 03-26-18

So  I am hoping to continue a series of "Makeup Monday" where I post what makeup I am using, a picture of how it came out and what look I came up with. So first let me begin by posting the picture of the products I used and I will let you know how it went: The only things I haven't shown, simply because I forgot is a Laura Mercier blush and a Makeup Revolution bronzer which I slept on all year but is amazing! Get yourself some Makeup Revolution it is so good. Products  Here is how the look came out, I chose to use the LA Colors Day & Night Palette. This palette is full of violets and oranges which are great colors to use together if you have darker skin these they are complimentary to darker or yellow beige tones. So all you really need is a tan to pull off a shimmery neutral look. I can say if you have light or fair skin that is more pink toned it probably will look more dramatic since the colors will not blend in with your skin tone as much they will look

Using New CraftSmart Inks from Michaels

Hi everybody so in this blog I'm going to be talking about these CraftSmart inks from Michaels. After using them I can say I really like them and I'm going to insert a picture so you can see which colors I've purchased. So of course to begin I would like to discuss that these are coming across as pigment inks and I don't have a reason to think that they are dye inks as they are very very opaque, non transparent and they take a long time to dry. These packs came in sets of 6 and we're only $2. These are more than a deal for anyone who uses inks on a regular basis. Honestly inks can cost you when you are trying to build your stash so if you do come across these gems I greatly suggest buying some. There were several different sets but mainly the colors were pastels as I've shown above. These are a great bargain if you're looking to save money on crafting. Only one Michaels near me had them out so they might be hard to find in some areas, good luck.
