More Owls!

Making these little owls is just plain addictive! This is one of my favorite color combos, Riding Hood Red, Not Quite Navy and Crumb Cake. The only stamping is the sentiment. I used my Uni-Ball Signo™ White Gel Pen for the stitching and the owl eyes. Again I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch for the strip of Not Quite Navy. I love this punch. It's like having every color ribbon!!!!

The weather here in Kansas City is absolutely beautiful!!! Clear skies, a little breeze and 67. A nice day to sit outside on the deck or go for a walk. Doesn't look like I will be stamping in the basement today-maybe tonight after dark???

Playing With the Two Step Owl Punch

Well how cute is this little owl? I used some Basic Rhinestones for the eyes. It is a little tricky gluing the tiny pieces together for the owl but so worth it 'cause these are just too stinkin' cute! I used tweezers and Tombow™ Liquid Glue. Another demonstrator had a great idea; she placed a dob of Tombow Liquid Glue on a lid and used a toothpick to put the glue on the paper. This is the first time I have used Poppy Parade, one of the new In-Colors. I have to admit that I like it more now that I have actually made something with it.

Another great product I used on this card is the new Cork Sheets. I was pleasantly surprised at how thick and nice these are. I used my Big Shot™ and the Top Note die and simply cut it in half with the Tabletop Paper Trimmer and adhered it to a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock that was cut with the Top Note die. Again I used Tombow Liquid glue. The buttons are the clear Bitty Buttons with some Poppy Parade paper glued on them with Crystal Effects™.

The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set.
