Owl Occasions Birthday Wish

This cute little owl from the Stampin’ Up! Owl Occasions in the Holiday Catalog is to die for! He is so adorable you can hardly go wrong. I stamped him in Tangerine Tango on this Early Espresso branch and added Summer Starfruit leaves. I also added a touch of Perfect Plum to his front feathers with marker and adhesive-backed Googlie eyes, also from the Holiday Catalog.

The balloons were stamped in Tangerine Tango, Perfect Plum and Summer Starfruit and punched out with the 3/4″ circle punch. Then I knotted one end of some Pool Party bakers twine to attach below the balloons, then I tied all the strings together into his ‘hand’. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach the knots and Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the balloons.

The scallops below the picture were created with the same color as the balloons. I used the Scallop Punch and punched a longer section than I needed so I could trim it out where I wanted the scallops to land. Doing this allowed me to stagger the scallops.

Enjoy! Julie

A Happy Birthday to My Mother!

One of my all-time favorite color schemes is Pink Pirouette with crisp white and dramatic black. It’s such an elegant look and feel. So I used the combo for my mother’s birthday card. (I think I used the same colors in her Mother’s Day card too. Oops!) I had to make sure she received her card in the mail first before I posted it here – so now that I’m sure she has it, I can share it with all of you! I love making something special for her, because I love her, she deserves it, and because she loves my cards and appreciates them!

First, I stamped one of the smaller doilies from Delicate Doilies stamp set down the left side. Then, using the Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement, I stamped the sentiment from Blooming with Kindness in Black StazOn ink. While I had my doily inked up with Pink Pirouette I stamped it on a scrap then stamped the butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set over that before punching it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch.

I used the same punch to layer a black butterfly silhouette and punched out the small 4-petal flower in pink from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack. An itty bitty black circle topped with a bitty pearl was added to the tiny flower. My bone folder aided me to curve the wings of the butterfly and the petals of the tiny flower.

The black delicate scallop edge was punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and tucked under the stamped panel before the panel was adhered to the Pink Pirouette card base.

2-4-6-8 Halloween Treat Box

This 2-4-6-8 Halloween treat box is so super easy to make and I recorded a video to show you how to make the box and the tag.

If you are reading in email you can view the video tutorial here or here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqzBaSikDNg

This simple box is made with a half a sheet of paper measuring 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. This box was embossed with the Spider Web Embossing Folder. To emboss the box you’ll need to emboss it twice, running it through the Big Shot once on each side before assembling the box.

There are several options for closing up the top; you can use ribbon or a topper. In this sample the top was folded in and secured with a Glimmer Brad, then the tag was hung from the brad.

Punches make quick work for tag creation!

This cute spider would look adorable with googlie eyes! And the adhesive backed googlie eyes available in the Holiday Catalog would make that quick to do, but in this case I colored his eyes with a So Saffron marker to add just a tinge of color.

RIBBON SPECIAL! Don’t forget to order during the month of September and receive FREE ribbon (value $8.95) for every $40 in product ordered. What does that mean? For example, if you purchase the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Diagonal Plate you would earn a Free spool of ribbon. If you purchase the Big Shot, you’ll receive 2 spools of ribbon. If your total order is over $150 you would earn 3 spools of ribbon PLUS $25 in Stampin’ Rewards FREE product. Questions? Let me know.
