Make Your Own Embellishments Using Air Dry Clay

Morning Peeps,

Now don't feint, I've written my first tutorial. Yayyyy, I hope I hear you say, lol. I've used the delight air dry paper clay available from Crafts and Me. I know I have raved at how easy this is to use so I thought I would show you. My clay is half used so your bag wont look like it's been through the mill like mine does.

OK, let's get started. I have a little key mould, also available from Crafts and Me a long with many others. I am also going to show you how easy it is to use a stamp in the clay to create your own embellishments.

Just pop some of the white clay into the mould as shown and leave on the windowsill overnight. See, told you it was easy.

At the same time I just patted out a round circle and then stamped my sentiment into the middle.

Picture isn't briliant, but I think you get the idea. I then cut it into a shape that I wanted to end up with. This can be circular, square whatever you fancy.

Voila, in the morning they are ready and then you can either leave them white or add some colour.

I have added some lilac acrylic paint to one of the keys, and left the other one exactly as it came out of the mould. On the Have Bags of fun embellishment, I have sprayed this with glimmer mist so although you can't see if in the picture, it's irredescent and sparkly. You may want to add some metallic rub on's, especially in the letters to make them stand out more or add another colour. I have added some gold metallic rub on's to the "Shop to you drop" to give you an idea. Try different colouring products to see the different effects, you get loads in the bag and I know Teresa has some liquid amber in store where you just pour that into the mould and voila.

Pop on over to Crafts and Me to view all the moulds HERE and the delight clay at only £4.25 for a pack HERE and you could also get some glimmer mist whilst your there HERE.

Have fun.

Thank you Lynette and Amy for your sponsoring this challenge, So, we are giving away TWO exciting PRIZES for challenge #4 get your thinking caps on everyone, I can't wait to see what you come up with here is mine.





I thought I would make the gift you give the Bride to hold after she and her new Husband gets married, I can't think what they call them.
I used Delight Clay available in my store HERE THERE IS NO MESS INVOLVED BELIEVE IT OR NOT, my hands were mess free, fantastic as you know what a mess us crafters get in and it is so light too.
I couldn't find my rolling pin and couldn't be bothered to pull all the cupboard out, so guess what Iused A CANDLE it worked brilliantly Thank God!
I chose wood mounted Wedding stamp At the Alter by Stampendous avail. Here, such a beautiful stamp and pressed this down onto my rolled out clay, removed it carefully and then cut it to the shape I liked, couldn't find my clay utensils so I used you'll never guess? a Pizza cutter, it worked a treat I then made a whole in it for the ribbon. Put it on the window sill to dry overnight.
I used Metallic Rub-Ons avail. HERE to colour, then added some diamontes, sequiny things for the dress buttons, flowers and lots and of stickles to add sparkle all from my stash!
One last point the black pen lining the image has slightly run as you can see, but that is my fault I got to impatient waiting for it to finish drying.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE CHALLENGE EVERYONE SEE YOU OVER THE CHALLENGE BLOG!!

A couple of cards to share as I missed last week

Before I get to the cards I just have to share this with you I have been playing with the brilliant delight air drying clay that you can get Here It is such good value as it goes so far and I have used some here that I flattened and then stamped into it with the sentiment. For the colouring I used 2 different coloured brilliance ink pads and I think it gives a great effect so be ready to see me using it more this way.

Any way now onto cards.......I have 2 for you this week as I missed doing my post last week.
The first one I have tried out a More manly feel than my normal and used this super cute my guy greetings farm stamp from Crafts and me I have coloured him with promarkers








For this next card I have used this stunning sweet pea stamp ching-chou kuik's Time Flies again I have used my promarkers and this time added touches of sakura stardust pens for a bit of sparkle. I hope you are all enjoying the sun and having a good weekend sadly I am stuck working so am going to miss it but at least I am making some money to get some new stash ;)
