[@AldreKatCrafts]

Sympathies about it lifting on the two trays, I still think they came out beautiful! ❤❤❤

[@BlossyBTas]

Aww thank you so much re the lifting! Oh it is heartbreaking when you are demoulding and then see it isn't what you were hoping for. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and to leave such lovely feedback. Thank you, Erin.

[@AldreKatCrafts]

@ you are more than welcome. 🤗

I love that pale blue. It’s so pretty.

[@BlossyBTas]

Hello there and thank you so much for watching my video!!! Oh I agree, I rarely use pastel colours and I should more often because they are so pretty! I really appreciate you leaving that lovely comment. Erin.

Oh my goodness - thank you so so much for the shout out. Your video just popped up on my recommended watch list :) I am so happy your were inspired by one of my videos and I truly appreciate it xx These are absolutely beautiful - sorry some of them have lifted :( I would lay down some liquid sealer and see if they flatten out xx

[@BlossyBTas]

Oh hello lovely Claire! You are so welcome re the shout out, I've been inspired (and continue to be inspired) by so many of your crafting adventures and this project has been tantalising me for some time! I wish I could have honoured your process more with a better result, I did try again in my next video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZXXk6Vrf8qgbqM) but similar outcomes. As soon as I read your comment about liquid sealer I tried it! No luck though. Yet!!! I will probably have another attempt soon. The idea is so delicious! Thank you for the hours and hours of entertainment, motivation, inspiration and instruction you've provided me over the past few years. Erin.

Oh Erin… I think you’re too hard on yourself!! They may not have been perfect… but they all so pretty!! I had to rewatch the video to see what happened… from where we are, the middle one just looked like a bit of the resin seeped under the paper… but, after watching it again, I can see what you mean by the paper lifting and/or air getting under it!?! The only thing I can think of, is to sand that bit of eco resin back, then try putting a thin layer of clear epoxy over the inside of the tray? I don’t know if it would work… but it might be worth a try?? 🤷‍♀️ And thank you so much for being brave enough to post, even though they didn’t all work out perfectly! Love ya to bits! ♥️♥️🇦🇺

[@BlossyBTas]

Nat I knew you would watch this with eagle eyes and help me!!! You are so good at analyzing things like that. Thank you for being accepting of my mistakes and trials! It means a lot to me. I'm trying to learn and grow in my crafting all the time, try new techniques and improve the way I do things. As always you are such a support and encouragement!!! Erin xx

[@LouSolCreations]

They still look beautiful, I think if you scraped it and did a thin top coat of resin it might fix it ❤

[@BlossyBTas]

Oh Johanna thank you so much!!! Not sure if you have seen the take two phase of this yet (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZXXk6Vrf8qgbqM) but yes, I did try that and it definitely helped, so thank you! Erin.

[@MsSnailspace]

Thanks for this Erin!! I have a lot of scrapbook paper so I want to try this! They all look beautiful but, yeah, hard to know how that happened xo

[@BlossyBTas]

Oh I'm so with you on the scrapbook paper pile!!! I think I've just found a cute way to use up quite a bit so look out for that in a future video! I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! Erin x

[@GertCreates]

I really like these as is and I agree with jenniferr I think Claire did do that.

[@KirnixCreations]

Louise Singleton has a tutorial on this as well that may help in the future... Only thing I can think of to fix is to cover with something... maybe beads or something... Love them though :)

[@BlossyBTas]

Hey and thank you so much for watching and commenting Nikki. Oh I love Louise so will hop over to her channel and search. With your suggestion about beads, do you mean to weigh down the paper before I pour eco casting compound over the top? Erin.

[@annedarmody9132]

I hope you can work out a solution to save the first two. They all look beautiful 💚

[@BlossyBTas]

Hi Anne, thank you so much for watching my video and for such lovely feedback! Were you able to check out the "part 2" of this series - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZXXk6Vrf8qgbqM I made another 3 and ended up having fun fixing a few more up too!!! I really appreciate your support, thank you. Erin.

[@annedarmody9132]

@ yes I did - thought I’d posted a comment but can’t see it. Great saves - they turned out beautifully 💚

[@jenniferr8195]

Hi Erin! Can you save the first two? I think I remember seeing Claire or someone save one by cleaning up the top and pouring a thin layer of exopy resin down? Third time's a charm and the paisley one came out so pretty!

[@BlossyBTas]

Hey Jennifer, well as you know by now I did follow this advice and oh thank you so much re the paisley one! Claire is so amazing and I appreciate everyone's advice. I've read it all and tried so many different things!!!! I love that we all help each other! Erin.
