Really cool idea. i like the black dots the best! ....i don't have resin but i am going to try mod podge which i do have on hand. my sister did a decorative napkin with mod podge and it was very translucent but not transparent. Thanks for the video!
Another way to make translucent paper is using furniture beeswax (I use Daddy Vans All Natural Beeswax furniture polish). Apply the wax to any paper with a brush and buff off with a soft rag. Your paper will become translucent and have a flat finish
Love it. Wonder how printing my own words on printer paper and making it resin would do. That could lead to amazing results if you love words and art together, and I DO!!!
This is a fabulous video. I love when you try a project before I do so that you can share the pitfalls and cautions that you learned. I’d love to see a photo or copy of a photo done like this. Just a little aside but I’m always thrilled when I see a George and Espie’s letters. I feel like we are family.
I cannot wait to see what you do with these bits. I've coated papers with it in the past, but have struggled with how to use it. I remember using wax paper under it and not having a problem, but I could be mistaken. I love how that phone book paper went so transparent! Anyway, it was fun watching you play and experiment! I hope y'all didn't get too flooded out there!
Tiff I made some of these papers years ago and if I remember correctly I used a garbage bag because I didn’t have a craft or silicone mat. Your papers turned out great. Thank you for sharing.
What great results! I used to do a lot of beeswax collage and loved getting paper to turn translucent like this. It wasn't quite as see-through, but really lovely.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this video!!!! SOOOOO, when are you going to do a vid on ways to use these luscious resin papers??????? FYI, I am holding my breath in anticipation.....just sayin. Big hug for all your hard work, cat
Interesting experiment with all the different papers. I am not sure it is something I would use in my art - but it is definitely something worth knowing so I don't have to experiment with it myself. Always been curious about the resin- it is so gorgeous as a sealer- why wouldn't it make some gorgeous papers. I did like your idea to put a page in a book- would be a fun little added bonus to have in there- great idea.
Pretty cool results! I agree with Peggy about Daddy Vans. It works like a charm and isn't so sticky. I want to try beeswax encaustic as well. Fun to experiment! TFS the inspiration!
Great results Tiff! I've worked with resin in jewelry making quite at bit and you can definately use less to mix a smaller amount. I also used it on the Tim Holtz tissue, the part with the butterfly, and it's been just sitting on my table. I've been wanting to use it. Not sure yet how to adhere it in my journal. Sew it, staple it, glue it with matte medium??? Looking forward to see how you'll use yours!
Hello! Since Ice resin is discontinued, do you know of a resin product or type that would work as well as this? Brand new to resin but after seeing your video I must have some!
Hey. This is so cool! Great for collage over other pieces. It is high gloss though. Any way to make it a little more matte finish? I know that it would make it less transparent, but that would be okay with me. Thanks! BTW, I’m in North Carolina and we have had some of that tropical storm weather. Lots of rain😊
Pepper I am thinking matte medium but I haven’t tried it yet. Do you follow me on Instagram ? I’ll test out two options and review it there. I’m Southerngals_designs
How fun! Would acrylic gloss medium work or are there considerable differences in resulting aesthetics and durability? I'm going to give it a try, but I do like the look of the ice resin!
Oh, what a great video! You inspired me! I'd love to use these in my acrylic paintings! I'm sure I could always finish it with a satin varnish to make everything the same finish......but, the variations in finishes might be interesting as well! Tell me, do you think any product-resistant art mat would work? I have those thin brown mats made for oven use. I'm not sure if they are silicone or what. Big hug for all your work, cat
I just watched this and realized that ice resin was discontinued. Do you know if there is an alternative? I’ve been looking all morning but can’t seem to find anything like it. Thanks in advance
Really cool results. Question - the mats you used to apply & dry the resin papers - did any residual resin on the mat just peel off leaving the mat ok for future use?
Denise great question. I am going to assume that any resin would work although I have zero data to say for sure. I would say try it and see what happens if you have it on hand. Thanks for watching
@@SouthernGalsDesigns Thanks, I do have some regular stuff. Love the phone book paper but I don't have any phone books! lol oooh wonder how newspaper would turn out!
@@DeniseLush I save every phone book I get. They're great for using as scrap paper when applying glue to small papers, they can hold media that's not quite dry yet, they are good for pressing flowers, AND, they make great collage paper!!! : ] Hugs!
Very cool tfs Tiffany...Kia Kaha...
Serious enabler alert!! They all look awesome and I adore the love letters of George and Espie ❤️❤️❤️ Especially the one with the fingernail 😉😂😂😂
Dang girl!! What a great experiment with awesome results, and a whole new stash of durable clear papers! You Rock!❤
I love the teabag! You come up with the best stuff. Smart as a whip!
So cool!!!!!!

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed this. The results are really good.Stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Wow!! Love how that turned out - the floral tissue and the b and w polkadots especially - thanks for sharing, Tiff! Jen xx❤️❤️

Oh cool thank you!
How cool is resin paper I haven’t done it before or seen it done but have seen the results awesome thank you for sharing Tiffany
Awesome results Tiff. TFS xx
Oh my gosh, I LOVE THIS! Super cool. I have a 1/2 gallon of each of the two resin gels, so I'm gonna make some of these!!
These would definitely add interest to projects! 💙
Loved your papers Tiff!! Turned out awesome! And thank you for saying that statement about wax paper- cuz I was wondering about that!!
Love how they turned out
Awesome... looked really sticky to do but the result is amazing 👍🏻👩🏻🎨
thanks so much for sharing this! I love learning how to use products that I haven't used before!
So glad you used that floral tissue paper .. I’m still hoarding mine lol ! Think I’m gonna give this a go! Thanx for sharing totally awesome!
Love it. Wonder how printing my own words on printer paper and making it resin would do. That could lead to amazing results if you love words and art together, and I DO!!!

These would be great in windows in your art journal or stuck on the outside of glass bottles or jars to make pretty vases or candle holders
Love this Tiff! Thanks for sharing with us! Those look awesome!!!
Tiff I made some of these papers years ago and if I remember correctly I used a garbage bag because I didn’t have a craft or silicone mat. Your papers turned out great. Thank you for sharing.
What a Brilliant idea!! Thank you for watching and providing this tip I think it would work very well.
What great results! I used to do a lot of beeswax collage and loved getting paper to turn translucent like this. It wasn't quite as see-through, but really lovely.
Cool. I can see these used in windows in altered books.

LO! I have that same tissue I'm hoarding. Can't recall what
it came with. Thank you for sharing this cool process with us!

Thanks this sounds very cool.
Ohhhh, these turned out so awesome! Guess who’s headed to get some resin 🤦🏻♀️. You’re such an enabler 😂
Mickelnay ROTFL
Soooo cool!!! Wonder how this would work on fabric??
You’d have to try and see, I think would probably just make it hard
Fun. Tfs

I staples it

Toocool💗💗💗💗
This is fantastic. Now I gotta buy some resin lol. Hoping you'll show how you use them? Thanks for sharing.
Michael Ann do you follow me on IG? I just posted my index card today and I used it

SouthernGalsDesigns thanks!
Telephone book page is turning vintage lol
How fun! Would acrylic gloss medium work or are there considerable differences in resulting aesthetics and durability? I'm going to give it a try, but I do like the look of the ice resin!
I don’t think you would get the same glass look, but let me know your thoughts when you try it.
Oh, what a great video! You inspired me! I'd love to use these in my acrylic paintings!

Yup I think it will work.

Really cool results. Question - the mats you used to apply & dry the resin papers - did any residual resin on the mat just peel off leaving the mat ok for future use?
Yes it peeled right off.
Fun experiment! Would those be heavy enough to use as the exterior of an art journal?
Kelly Possibly if you made a thicker layer, potentially layered another layer or two?
so would any resin work? Or does it have to be ice resin?
This is really cool! Love it!
Denise great question. I am going to assume that any resin would work although I have zero data to say for sure. I would say try it and see what happens if you have it on hand. Thanks for watching

I bet parchment paper (not wax paper) would work.
Yes Janet I read that it would work.
Please research resin and wear a mask in a well ventilated space.......loves
Maybe the letter on old 'blue-ish' paper is onion skin paper?
