 How-to
for scrapbook page:
Part
1: Clay Embellishments
Materials
& Directions for Hearts:
- Premo! Sculpey and
Sculpey III clay in colors of your choice (I used 1/2oz Premo White
#5001 and
1/4oz Sculpey III Lavendar #312)
- Shade-Tex
Linen texture sheet
- 1”
heart-shaped cutter
- pasta
machine (#1 = widest setting)
1. Condition clay
in your choice of color for heart and roll
through pasta machine
progressively
from #1 through #4.
2. Spritz texture
sheet with water (or run under faucet shaking off excess water). Lay #4
clay
sheet on texture sheet.
3. Run through
pasta machine on #4. Peel clay off
texture sheet.
4. Cut out 4
hearts. Bake at 275°F for 15
minutes.
Designer’s Note: To save
time
on your next project cut out hearts from the remaining sheet of
textured clay
until it has been used up. Bake, cool, and
store away for future use.

heart-shaped cutter
1. Condition clay
in color of choice for the base (I used 1oz of mixed blues + 1/2oz
Purple #5513
+ a pea-sized ball of Black #5042). Roll
through pasta machine progressively from #1through #4.
2. Spritz texture
sheet with water. Lay #4 clay sheet on texture sheet.
3. Roll
through
pasta machine on #3 (because this is a thicker texture sheet you must
dial the
pasta machine back one thickness for it to go through properly).
Peel clay off texture sheet. Cut as shown
in picture following lines on the texture.
4.
Condition a
lighter shade of clay (I used 1/2oz White #5001 + 2 pea-sized balls of
Purple
#5513). Roll through pasta machine from
#1 through #5.
5.
Apply ink to rubber
stamp and stamp clay. Let ink dry.
6.
Place sheet of
clay in freezer for about 10 -15minutes. Remove
from freezer and tear edges as shown. Place
sentiment on top of background texture
and roll gently in place.
7.
Condition a
small amount of Sculpey III Tomato Red #1685. Roll
through pasta machine on #5. Cut out
hearts using smallest Kemper heart cutter. Place
over stamped hearts.
8.
Bake at 275°F
for 30-45min.
 Materials
& Directions for Sun:
- 1/2oz
each Premo! Sculpey in Pearl #5101 and Cadmium Yellow #5572
- Polyform
Art Doll Faces mold
- 3”
circle cutter
- seed
beads
- gold
Liquid Sculpey clay
1.
Condition
equal parts of pearl and yellow clays. Mix
together. Roll
through pasta
machine on #1 through #4.
2.
Cut a 3”
circle using circle cutter.
3.
Make a 5/8”
ball from the extra mixed clay. Choose a
face from the mold (I used the round medium-sized face).
Press clay into mold, flattening back of clay
as you push.
4.
Pop face out
of mold and place off center on the 3” circle. (Note:
be sure the face isn’t too thick or the sun
will be too heavy for
your page. Face thickness can be
adjusted by using a smaller ball of clay).
5.
With a blade
or straight-edge tool cut triangles out of the 3” circle making your
way all
the way around. Use your fingers to
smooth points and give each a curve/movement.
6.
Add seed beads
for eyes.
7. Using
a
toothpick, paint details onto your sun using Liquid Sculpey. Use your imagination while detailing -- add
lines, dots, squiggles, etc.
8.
Bake at 275°F
for 30-45min.
