SU240 Greetings of the Season Owl Card

This Santa Owl was based on a card I found online using the Stampin Up Owl Punch.   It is so cute and a great addition to my Christmas cards.  To make him, I punched out his feet and very little of his chest in black, aligned and glued his white vest in place on the black.  I punched out a red owl, removed the feet then glued the vest and black feet to the red owl.  I cut a triangle for his hat about ½” wide by 1” tall, topped it with a flower pompom and used the horizontal slot punch to give him fur across the bottom of his hat.  I gave him a black belt, punched a ¼” circle from gold cardstock then centered the ½” circle punch over that for his belt.  Lots of fiddly little detail, but well worth it!!

SU234 Graduation Owl Card

 

Another idea from Pinterest!  The card front was embossed with SU's Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Sponged the edges of most everything then pounced the script with black ink as well.  I cut the diamond part of the grad hat about 1.25” wide by 5/8” tall and used a 1 1/4" circle punch on a ½” wide strip of card stock to get the curved bottom portion of the hat.  To make the diploma I cut a 1 1/4" wide X 1" tall piece of typing paper and just rolled it up.  Adhere it together and tie a linen thread knot around it and glue in place.

SU233 Happy Birthday Owl Card

 

This idea came from another card I seen on Pinterest.  I have used a Sahara Sand card base and then Pretty in Pink DSP. I used a Top Note die in White and cut it flush with the pink.  The flowers are the Trio Flower punch and I added a rhinestone in the middle of them, the leaves are from the Sizzlets Little Leaves die.  Finished the card off with some Old Olive grosgrain ribbon and a sentiment from the Bring on the Cake set.  I cut one end of the sentiment into a flag using this method.

Cardstock – Sahara Sand, Pretty in Pink, Pretty in Pink DSP, Early Espresso, Black, White, Old Olive.

Stamps – Bring on the Cake.

Embellishments – Woodgrain EF, Bigz Top Note Die, Owl Builder punch, Sizzlets Little Leaves Die, Trio Flower punch, Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, Rhinestones, Square punch, sponge.

SU230 Valentine Owl

 

Here is my take on the owl punch for this month.  I free-hand cut the two large hearts; ran the white one through the Woodgrain embossing folder and swiped it with my black ink pad.  Most everything was sponged in black.  I stamped white cardstock with the Cheesecloth stamp before punching them out with the Heart to Heart punch.
