More Nature's Blooms from Anthony's Paper Craft

I am so excited to share this card with you. I actually made two of these cards. One I gave to Anthony to display at the shows he does for his line of stamps Anthony's Paper Crafts. The other is a display sample for The Embellished Scrapbook Boutique.

I have been using the oval accordion die and the flourish frame die from Elizabeth Craft Designs quite a bit and I knew that Anthony's stamps would be perfect with these dies.





I am not good with coloring detailed stamps but I just had to give it a shot with these stamps. I used the magic colored pencil technique which uses Prisma pencils and Gamsol. With all the die cutting, stamping, coloring and assembling, these samples took me about 6 hours each. I am very pleased with how this project turned out.

Supplies used:
Anthony's Paper Crafts Narcissus, Gladiolus, Day Lillies, Morning Glory, Sunflowers, Blackeyed Susan
Elizabeth Craft Designs Oval Accordion Die, Flourish Frame Die
Prisma pencils
Gamsol

Happy Stamping!

Introducing Anthony's Paper Craft

I would like to introduce you to a new line of stamps called Anthony's Paper Craft. Anthony is a fellow teacher of mine at The Embellished Scrapbook Boutique. His stamps just came onto the market this past summer and there are currently around 45 stamps available on his website. I was able to see the cards in his gallery in person at a crop in November and let me tell you they are fantastic. As usual, pictures don't do them justice.

I had a chance to use the Black Eyed Susan stamp recently and this is what I came up with:


I just random stamped, colored with Copic markers then used glossy accents on the centers of the flowers.

Carol made a great card with Anthony's Gladiolus stamp so I'm sure you will see it posted here soon.

Please check out the great stamps at Anthony's Paper Craft.

Supplies used:

Stamps: Anthony's Paper Craft Black-eyed Susan, Sayings Set
Copic Markers
Spellbinders Oval dies
Glossy Accents

Happy Stamping!

iPhone 5s Case Insert Template

I recently purchased a clear iPhone case from Amazon with the intentions of making my own insert for the back. I found a template online that I could download and cut out. Instead, I decided to try designing my own template with my Silhouette Cameo. I have had my Cameo for a year and have not really used it. I am determined to use it more so tonight I played with it for awhile and was able (with several adjustments) make a template that I am happy with.


It was simple to make this template using the rounded rectangle drawing tool. It just took awhile to tweak the size and get the camera opening positioned correctly. I did have to cut just a smidgen from the bottom and right side. Now I need to go through my paper stash and cut some more inserts.

I would like to share my template, but I don't know how to upload it to this blog. If anyone is interested, email me at doubleccreations at gmail dot com and I can see if I can email it to you. It is a Silhouette file.

Supplies used:
Graphic 45 Botanical Tea
