• Four distinct resin layers creating incredible visual depth
• Precision-cut vinyl elements including clouds, mountains, waves, and sentiment
• Holographic accents for added shimmer and interest
• Mica powder-tinted base layer creating a beautiful blue sky/ocean effect
• Professional gesso-prepared canvas for optimal adhesion
• Gallery-worthy finished piece suitable for display or gifting
• Techniques applicable to countless resin art projects

Techniques You'll Learn

• Working with complex SVG files in Cricut Design Space
• Creating weeding boxes for intricate vinyl designs
• Using attach function for multi-piece cuts
• Cutting permanent vinyl and holographic materials
• Weeding detailed vinyl designs efficiently
• Layering vinyl pieces before transferring to canvas
• Preparing wood surfaces with gesso application
• Mixing two-part epoxy resin with precise 50/50 ratios
• Using scale or measuring cups for accurate resin mixing
• Tinting resin with mica powder for custom colors
• Creating multiple thin resin layers for dimensional effects
• Eliminating bubbles using butane torch technique
• Maintaining level surfaces during resin curing
• Strategic vinyl placement between resin layers

Skill Level

Advanced Beginner to Intermediate - Best suited for crafters comfortable with basic Cricut vinyl cutting who want to explore resin art. You should understand Design Space basics and vinyl weeding. The resin component requires careful attention to measurements, safety protocols, and patience (24 hours curing between layers means this is a multi-day project). If you can follow detailed instructions, work methodically, and have good ventilation, you're ready to create this stunning piece.

Class Features

• Step-by-step video demonstration from Design Space to final pour
• Exclusive beach scene SVG file included
• Complete Cricut Design Space setup with weeding box creation
• Detailed resin mixing demonstrations with precise measurements
• Multiple material cutting guidance (vinyl, holographic)
• Four-layer resin pouring process shown in real-time
• Gesso application technique for canvas preparation
• Mica powder tinting demonstration
• Bubble elimination techniques with butane torch
• Layer-by-layer assembly strategy
• Complete supplies list with specific brands
• Safety equipment recommendations
• Troubleshooting tips for common resin issues
• Lifetime access to tutorial video

What Makes This Class Special

This isn't just a resin project—it's a masterclass in creating dimensional art! Brandy shows you the real process, including moments when things don't go perfectly (like pouring the wrong component or running out of butane mid-bubble-popping). Learn the critical strategy of layering vinyl between resin pours to create true three-dimensional depth that makes clouds appear far in the background and waves look like they're right up front. The registration mark technique ensures perfect alignment even when working across multiple days and layers.

Resources Included

• Exclusive beach scene SVG file with clouds, mountains, waves, and sentiment
• Cricut Design Space sizing specifications (6.5" x 6.5")
• Weeding box creation tutorial
• Resin mixing ratios (1.5 oz each component per layer, approximately)
• Gesso application technique for wood preparation
• Mica powder color recommendations (blue for sky/ocean effect)
• Layer-by-layer assembly sequence guide
• Curing time specifications (24 hours minimum per layer)
• Butane torch bubble elimination technique
• Registration mark alignment strategy
• Silicone mat and container recommendations for easy cleanup
• Safety equipment checklist (gloves, respirator, ventilation)
