This is the card we made. Isn't it so darling and clever?? I love it! |
I've had a lot of fun with my owl punch and I also like dressing them up. I like to use embossing folders on the dress and either color or glitter the raised design. I use pearl paper which also elevates the design--it looks formal. For the male, I love to add a top hat, a bow tie and cute little buttons for his tux. The heart punch can be used to make the nose and to make bows--all you have to do is overlap the ends. The owl punch is such a unique element (owls are popular but I haven't seen owl punches from other brands) and everyone loves them--I get lots of requests for owl cards. It takes time to work with all the tiny pieces but the result is worth it.
I used the Lacy Brocade embossing folder on the dress and bow. This is a wedding card for my niece. |
On this one I used the circle and heart punch on thick card stock and then used an embossing stylus to emboss the vellum. I then glittered the shapes for a pretty but subtle background. |
I left this little guy simple. I used Sn@p Color Vibe paper because I love the multi-colored chevrons. I also used the chevron embossing folder on Tangerine Tango to match. |
To order:
I plan on trying more transformations of the punch. I found a few indexes from other demonstrators that were amazing! Here's one of my favorites from demo TiaraHelen.

Hi Bree!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out on the owl index (es) on my blog. I had the best fun making them and that owl punch is just terrific and so versatile. I was only using it to make little hippos yesterday!
Good luck with being a stampin up demo and with the home schooling. x
Thanks Miss Helen! I'm so glad you're happy about the link--I wasn't sure of protocol about posting a pic from another blog! I had fun checking out your blog, you're so creative and seem like such a fun person! The best part of Stampin' Up so far is the social aspect--I feel like I've made new friends, including you. Thank you!!
