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:

Stamp: Dynamic Duo and sentiment (Your Next Stamp)
Ink: Staz-On Jet Black
Paper: Prisma Cardstock, Shimmer Sheetz – Iridescent Sampler (Elizabeth Craft Designs) — used to cut the butterflies
Spectrum Noir Pencils: Primaries Set for the birds — 068, 065, 017 for the beak; Nature Set for the leaves — 046, 049; Essentials Set for the Tree — 089, 095, 091

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.
