Thanks for joining this amazing group of blogs. This is two Design teams using both Amazing Mold Putty and Creative Paperclay® to create amazing project for you
 |
| I began by punching the holes of my love notes cover with my Bind-it-all. The finished cover will not fit into Bind-it-All that I have so the holes will mold and allow me to cut them with a craft knife later. I then wrote "love notes" on the cover . |
 |
| To make the yarn easier to manipulate, I applied glue to the enter length of yarn and on the letters. I then lined up the yarn starting with the "l". When I got to the end of the "e", I brought the yard around the perimeter of the 4×2½" cover, making the heart by looping the yarn. |
 |
| I completed the word "notes" and added glue to areas of the cover that appeared to be lifting. I set the cover aside to dry completely before attempting to mold it. |
 |
| I conditioned equal parts of Amazing Mold Putty part A and part B. I worked quickly to cover the note pad cover and used my brayer to smooth the back of the mold so if I later wanted to cast the cover with Amazing Clear Cast or Amazing Casting Resin it would make for an even pour. I sat the mold aside to cure. |
 |
| Once cured I removed the original to inspect my mold. I loved it. |
 |
| Experiments led me to use the Creative Paperclay Delight. The Delight is super light and makes an incredible impression in the mold. it dries super quick--a process which can be sped up in a warm oven. I made sure to brayer my Delight in the mold to have a smooth back for my cover. |
 |
| I un-molded my Delight cover in white. Pleased with the results I next added a touch of pink pant to the delight and molded a pink cover as well. Once the molded pieced dried, I trimmed off the edges of the cover and used a craft knife to cut the holes to bind my cover to the base of the book. |
 |
| When painting the Delight, I used Sakura 3D Crystal lacquer mixed with Alumilite Gold Metallic Powder--which melts so pretty in the lacquer, and Terri Sproul's Mixers in Red Satin to high- light the yarn words. I lightly brushed the gold in a transparent layer on the face of the cover and in a more opaque manner around the edges. |
 |
| Once dry I stacked the cover, the punched inner pages, and the backing board in the order as it should look once bound. |
 |
| I then flipped the back board over on the front of the cover and threaded the wires into the cover so that the "u" rested inside the back cover. I crimped my coil in my Bind-it-All to create my Love Notes Notebook. I added Crafty Ribbons Ribbon from the Ladybug bargain bag to the coils. |
