Hello Autumn - Mr. Owl Card!
September 05, 2015
I have a couple of really great tips for you in this blog post.. so be sure to grab a cup of coffee, tea, or lemonade and read the whole post... I think you'll like the fun crafty ideas! You can also download the free project sheet at the end of this post! Thank you for your kind comments about the recent free downloads I've been offering in my blog posts! So glad you are enjoying them!
I just love the adorable new owl stamp with matching die cut in the Howl-o-Ween Treat set and Boo to You Framelits (pg 49, 2015 Holiday Catalog). SO CUTE!!! and why not put him in a tree and give him a top hat? I mean.. really, why not? :)
BUT he needed some cute googly eyes, so I made my own with White Perfect Accents and a Sharpie marker! :)
And then he needed a top hat, because every owl needs a black glimmery top hat.. :) The black Glimmer Paper in the holiday catalog is AMAZING.. The 12x12 Black Glimmer sheets are really easy to miss though.. you'll find them on pg 47! I die cut the black glimmer paper with the hat framelit in the Snow Friends framelit dies, pg 33, #139664.
Die cut the perfect top hat for Mr. Owl with the Snow Friends Framelit die set.. so many cute "dress up" accessories for the owl, penguin, and snowmen in that framelit set!
The background of the card is a piece of printed Designer Paper from the Into the Woods package, and I lined the envelope with paper from the same pack as well.
Did you wonder how I made that cute tree for Mr. Owl to sit in!? SO EASY... I used my Paper Snips and cut out a portion of the "Into the Woods" designer paper sheet that looks like woodgrain and I made my own tree trunk and branch!! eeeks! :)

Hi Patty,
Thank you, Patty. That cute snowman hat is perfect for the owl. I would not thought of cutting the DSP to make a tree for the Own to stand on. What cute ideas, and to top that off you share a printable instruction page for all of us. Thank you, you are just the best. Hope your long weekend is going well, and I hope you are feeling well.
Best wishes,
Karren
