Stampendous and Envirotex Blog Hop

Thanks for joining the Stampendous gals today for a fun hop! We've been enjoying the fun crafting potential of combining our fantastic stamp images with EnviroTex Jewelry Resin from Environmental Technologies. Carmi Cimiata of the Resin Crafts Blog has helped us learn so much about how this product works, 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. {big round of applause!}

 We've prepared some fantastic projects to inspire you today. We hope you'll run over to your local Michaels or other craft store and pick up some resin and some Stampendous stamps and get playing. If you make something fun, please take a picture and put it on our Facebook page! We'd love to see what you're doing! As you visit each blog, you'll be entered in our drawing for a great prize package when you leave a comment! If you don't tell us you were there by commenting, we can't include you in the drawing! We'll pick a winner from today's comments separate from the commenters throughout the week. Get hoppin!



For my project today I used a new set called Jumbo Snow that should be arriving in local stores any day now!  I started by stamping my background in various sizes of the snowflakes with Versamark ink (from Tsukineko)then heat embossing with Aged Marine Embossing Enamel (also new).  

On a small metal edged tag (from my stash from years ago...I think they were from Making Memories) I stamped the large snowflake and heat embossed with the same ink and powder.

Next I poured some of the resin onto the tag, sprinkled on some Champagne Glass Glitter, Steel Blue Glass Glitter, and Pearlized Mica Fragments then topped that off with more resin.  After this dried totally I had to cut a small amount that overflowed from around the edges using my Ranger scissors.

Lastly I matched up the snowflake over the matching one on the cardstock base and glued it on with red line adhesive since its a bit heavy for an embellie.


OK, so here's the hop order, don't forget to comment along the way!
