Resin Snowman Paperweight

We hare pleased to have Larissa Pittman doing a guest post for us this week...
her project is adorable!

Up until about 2 weeks ago I have never used any kind of resin. I must say being a card maker it was a little scary when I first got the product.

Not knowing what I would do.   I decided to dive right in and make something. I came up with a grand idea to make a paper weight.

 I started off with Easy Cast Clear Casting Epoxy and a round mold. I mixed up 4 ounces of product (following manufacturer's instructions). I then poured half into the round mold.

 While it was sitting a few minutes I made a cute little snowman out of cardstock. I punched circles and hearts and a hat using metal dies and punches. I put it all together with adhesive and added a little glitter.

 I turned it face down and placed it on top of the Epoxy. then covered it with the rest of the Epoxy I had mixed.

Once it was dry 48 hours later I turned the mold upside down and gave it a couple of twist and my finished piece popped out.
