Well, I'm excited to say that I have a card to post every day this week! I was busy this weekend, as card making never feels like 'laboring' for me. It was a perfect time to enjoy myself by making cards for my sweet daughter and to get started on Christmas Cards. I know... Christmas, in September? I make ALOT of Christmas cards, as you will see in the coming months!
First, I had so much fun making these large flowers out of the owl punch a few weeks ago. The flowers have been sitting on my desk, just waiting to be glued to a card:
Each 'petal' is created by cutting a 'v' between the owl ears. Then cut off the feet (sorry, that sounds so cruel - lol). Fold the owl lengthwise and pinch the bottom. This gives you a point from which to fold, and also brings the petals tips up a bit. From your bottom crease, fold each edge in until they touch. I then glued these to the large scallop punch of pear pizzaz cardstock. The center is a 1/2" punch of Garden Gala dp adhered to a build-a-brad. I had fun mixing the Garden Gala and Razzleberry Lemonade (retired) design papers, too! My daughter described this card as "cheerful." I'd have to agree!
I have another example of owl flowers tomorrow using the Noveau Chic paper and one of the new stamp sets. Hope you'll stop by! Until then, make it a Stampin' Day!
