Faux Quilted Pencil Case with Ann Butler Designs


Happy Sunday and last day of May, everyone! Summer is almost here and I can't wait to fill this pencil case with fun supplies and do some crafting on the go!



The Design Team was recently challenged by Ann Butler, to stamp on fabric and, well, I have to admit, I kind of went a bit overboard!  I looked around my studio to find a handful of fabric items and stamped them ALL!



I think the most fun I had was stamping on this plain canvas pencil case AND stamping this cute scribbly bird on felt!


Here's how I made it!

Ink a scrap of white felt with ColorBox Crafter's® Ink by Ann Butler in Aquamarine, let dry.  Ink up the ColorBox® Background Basic Doily Picnic Stamp by Ann Butler with ColorBox Crafter's® Ink by Ann Butler in Ocean Breeze, let dry.  Place standing bird from the Scribbly Bird Stamp Set by Dina Wakely Media from Ranger Ink on an acrylic block, ink with ColorBox Crafter's® Ink by Ann Butler in Night, let dry.  Color in beak and legs with yellow craft paint, let dry.  Place self-adhesive half pearl for eye.  Fussy cut and set aside.


Ink up the ColorBox® Background Basic Doily Picnic Stamp by Ann Butler with ColorBox Crafter's® Ink by Ann Butler in Berry, mist with water and then stamp in center of pencil case,let dry.


Ink up the ColorBox® Background Basic Diamonds Stamp by Ann Butler with ColorBox Crafter's® Ink by Ann Butler in Tangerine, mist with water and then stamp on the left side of pencil case, let dry.  Repeat, stamping on the right side of the pencil case.

Mimic the scribbly bird lines around the outside edge of the quilt blocks with Tombow USA MONO Twin Permanent Marker.  Attach scribbly bird to pencil case with Tombow USA MONO Multi Liquid Glue, let dry.

Fill with your favorite craft supplies, like yummy colored pencils and ENJOY!!

Thanks for stopping by!  -Beth
