Hello All;

I hope you all are having a good summer.  July is almost over which means the summer holidays are half over for the children and yes school supplies are already in the stores.  We have been having a Creative Inspiration for July here at OCS and hope you all have been inspired by the OCS Design Team gals who have done some fabulous cards.

I have had some more fun playing with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Dies.  This time I used the Accordion Circle Card and the Square with Circle Frame Edges.

Inspirational Time

Creative Inspiration, One Crazy Stamper

Hello Fellow Crafters;

It is Wacky Wednesday again, and for our Inspirational July here at One Crazy Stamper I am showcasing a Heartfelt Creations stamp called Vintage Watering Can.  As this is a versatile card and can be used as a “Birthday”, or “Thinking of You”, or “Sending Happy Thoughts”, or “Wishing you Well” type of card, I decided not to add a sentiment at this time.

Hi All;

It is Inspirational Month here at OCS, and for today’s post I have used this adorable stamp set called

Dynamic Duo (Your Next Stamp) and the Accordian Oval Card Die Set and Oval Flourish Frame Edges from Elizabeth Craft Designs. The edges were used to decorate the two panels of the card.

This is the card when opened up.

This is the front of the card when it is closed.

This was the first time that I had use these dies and they are kind of neat for the pop up effects. I still need to work at them, and the adhesive that I used didn’t seem to stick very well.

Supplies used:

Stop by Lora’s store for any supplies that you might need or would like/want.  I hope you have gotten some inspiration and be happy crafting something creative.  Until next time happy crafting.

Now, that June is over, school is out and it is a brand new theme here at One Crazy Stamper.  For the month of July, OCS will be having  “A Creative Inspiration” Theme.  For my post today, I used this cute stamp set from Your Next Stamp called Spring Owl.  I also tried the new Spectrum Noir Pencils and they are definitely great.  They are very vibrant, easy to use for shading and just plain awesome.  I will definitely be using them more.
