Punched Owl Notebook

Owl notebooks made with Stampin Up punches.

My friend Toni made a couple of these little beauties and brought them along to our weekend away, of course she made them for Peejay who collects owls and from the minute I saw them I loved them so here is my version of them.

I bought the notebook and covered it in a brown card then added papers and ribbon.

Tools used

Stampin Up; Punches Round Tab & Scallop Oval. (head, wings and belly)

Nesabilities; Round Scallop (body)

Circle Punches; 3/4" and 1/2" (eyes)

5 petal flower punch (feet & beak)

So after making one there was no stopping me and I found these sleepy looking goggle eyes and they work perfectly.

Sympathy Card

One of the cards that we all dread having to make but the sentiment (PTI Stamp) on this made the card a little easier to put together.

It was made for my dear Uncle's Billie's wife Elaine, he lost his battle against cancer on Friday morning. We are taking comfort in the fact that he is now out of his pain.

Porcelain Bouquet

I love the clean look of this card, I used the Rubberstamp Tapestry Porcelain Bouquet stamp set, the inks used are Color Cubes Indigo and Lavender.

The cut out shapes were made using the Nestabilities Label Dies.

Again I ran around the shapes with an embossing tool after they had been cut to emboss the edges.

The ribbon was another story, I had no matching ribbon, so, I used white sheer ribbon and stained it with the indigo Color Cube Tra-dA a perfect match.

You can see in this picture that the center label shape is attached to the navy insert, you can also see that the vase has been cut out and attached with foam pads to give a 3d effect.
