Bear Die Cuts Process

Summer is closer, but SD is kind of cold these days. Have to remember to get a coat when I go out. But most of time I got tricked by the sunny sun. :p

I worked on these new die cuts for 2 days. Just want to share the process to you.

Here is my sketch. I like to draw stitching lines.
I use illustrator to draw the lines after scan it to computer.

I used two different colors cardstocks to cut the shapes I need.

And then stick those two shapes together.

Here are the work in process.
After I stick all three layers together then I will need to erase all the sticky parts. Usually this took me the longest time.

Finished!! Yes!!

Crayon Quesion!!!

I have some cute mold that I used to use for my soap making.
But since I don't make handmade soaps lately, I want to use those molds for other uses. So I did a quick research and make those crayons in different shapes.
And now here come a problem.
You can see on the picture, every crayon I took out from silicone mold, some whites stay on the top of it. On the left of the pic is the back of the crayon which didn't touch the silicone mold stay perfectly fine.

But all others are come out like those.
I love my Hello Kitty molds, but all those I made become really ugly. I have no idea why.

Here are the crayons that I took out from plastic mold, no problem at all.
So I know it must be my silicone molds, no matter the molds are used or new ones I just bought.
I searched online to see if anybody had the same problems as me, but not with any luck!!
Please, any crayon makers, help me to solve this problem.

Everyday suppose to be Monder's day, Father's day or even Valentine's day. Why only celebrate those days once a year with your loved ones. That just a thought.

And since it's already too late to put on my shop. I am making this card as printout.
