Playing with air dry clay!

I have been having a lot of fun with the Simply Pressed Clay and Buttons and Blossoms Pressed Clay Molds from Stampin Up!! The clay is so soft and easy to work with. When dry it is very lightweight, feels like foam! You can add color to clay before molding by kneading ink into the clay. Or you can color after it has dried using markers paint, glitter etc. Or just leave it white!
There are many ways to pop clay out of the mold. I tried them all, putting cornstarch in mold was a good method, baby oil wipes in mold was a bit messy for little ol me and just pulling them out and "fixing" it up before drying was...well didn't work for me. I found the best results to put the mold with clay in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes. They popped right out and the results looked great!






 Also when using the button mold, place a bit of clay in mold and gently roll the clay. This opens up the button holes...easy-peasy.



The package is 2.4 oz but it goes a long way. I have a 7 1/2 by 5 1/2 container full of my clay embellishments. Oh and did I tell you that you can use any mold. I used my polymer clay molds,candy molds etc!! Like I said I am having fun!  They make great embellishments!!

Owl ATC

I love to Trade ATC's and I also make ACEO's to sell. An ATC is Artist Trading Card. Trade only. You cannot sell them. An ACEO is Art Cards Editions and Originals those you can sell.


They are fun to collect.

They are miniature works of art about the same size as a baseball card 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches (63 mm X 89 mm)

Artist signs and dates the back of the card and some like a Title/Name

I decided to make one using my Stamp'in Up! Stamps, Inks ,Paper and Markers.

I used the Whisper White Cardstock. It has a very soft smooth texture and is sturdy.

I want to make a few more and put my SUP info on the back, a cute business card dont you think!

I also plan to make some ATC's at my next class!
