Redesign your old old phone case

By tarryn on December 4, 2017

My phone case was starting to discolor and it was looking really sad and gross so I felt it was time to work on it and turn it into a work of art, something I could be proud of.

You can also grab a cheap phone case from a sale bin or the dollar store, just ensure that it fits your phone before you go to all the work of decorating it.

~~~ Supplies ~~~

Old (or new) Camera case
Stamps not available anymore
Clear Emboss Powder: Stampin Up
Ink Refills Stampin Up
Mod Podge Amazon

Make your own Stamps

By tarryn on November 15, 2017

You don’t have to use thinlets you can just trace your own shapes and cut them out! These are great, I had so much fun with this technique.

~~~Supplies~~~

Ink: I use Stampin’ Up Ink, but I’m sure any ink will do.
Scissors or Thinlets: To cut your shape
The stamp and thinlet set is also from Stampin’ Up however, it is discontinued but you can find tons of fun ones still available!
Acrylic Block: You can buy these from any craft supplier or you can find hard and flat just to use to ink up your stamp and make your stamp impression.
Foam Sheets: Any craft supplier or even the dollar store would probably carry these.
