Santa's Little Owl

Hi Guys

This is a real cutie, I've made the little owl a little Santa!  I do love Santa cards at Christmas and having the Owl punch makes this a breeze!  Unfortunately my camera has made the background appear purple when in actual fact it is Night Of Navy, not sure what happened there!

To make this card I used
Cardstock - Night of Navy, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink - White Craft, Real Red
Stamps - Teeny Tiny Wishes
Tools - Owl Punch, Tab Punch, Word Window Punch, Modern label punch
Embellishments - Chocolate Chip ribbon

Hope you like it

More owl cards! I am loving them!  These are a variation on the ones I did yesterday.  Here the owl is outside of the tree, not peeking out of it!

Most of the items used are the same as yesterday except for the colours which are Definately Daffodil and Pretty In Pink.

Hope to see you soon

The sick bed!

Hi Guys

This cute little thing was inspired by something my upline Michelle Last did as a swap a while ago.  Its was two top notes made into a little pocket with a little owl paperclip and an insert for a wish list.  Anyway I thought the little pocket looked a little bit like a bed & when I saw the nurse owl on Julies Japes I just knew I had to do this.  So here we have a sick owl and a nurse owl on standby!

This is probably self explanatory for everyone so I wont give details although if you want them please email me.

Get Well Wishes is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, a US set I got on my recent trip to NY

And my poorly owl with the half shut eye, so cute!

To make this card
Card - Rose Red, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Ink - Early Espresso
Stamps - Teeny Tiny Wishes
Tools - Big Shot, Top Note, Owl Punch, Word Punch, Decorative label punch
Paper - Springtime Vintage DSP

Hope you like it and come back again soon

Wednesdays Child - The Owl!

Hi Guys

Sorry I haven't been updating the last couple of days, have had all sorts of computer issues :(  Even now it is taking forever to load each page which is very annoying!  I have however been crafting away, just not able to show you, haha.

This card I did was inspired by one I saw on Julies Japes, a fantastic blog so if you get a chance have a peek!  Its one of those cards that can lend itself to anything, Thinking Of You, Happy Birthday, Get Well etc.  Here you go

This little owl is just soo cute and soo versatile, whenever I do things for children I use googely eyes for him as kids love things that move.

Here is a little close up of the cute little fella.

To make this card: (all Stampin Up products unless otherwise stated)
Card - Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi, Soft Suede
Ink - Chocolate Chip Marker Pen
Embellishments - Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon
Tools - Sizzix Big Shot, Top Note Die, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Bird Punch, Owl Punch

Hope you like it.  Come back tomorrow ;o)

School Club Card Class

Hi Guys

I've offered to do an after school club at my sons school this term and so I have been working on things that I think are okay for little ones.  My son is 5 and the children will be between 4 & 7 years old.  There will be a maximum of 12 in the class but I've got to tell you, as it gets closer I'm feeling a little nervous!

This is what I thought we would do on Monday, little Owl Bookmarks.  They can be for the child or as a Fathers Day pressy.  Here are a couple I've done, my son Conal did the blue one (wanted to make sure it was doable for them ;o))

The pink on has a damaged eye as Conal promptly dropped it, then stood on it!

Thought these large googly eyes would be good for the kids.

Happy Father's Day stamp although I have a few they can choose from (not SU haha)

Hope you like it.

Party Party Party!

Hi Guys

It is the loveliest morning and I am sitting with a cup of coffee & updating my blog AND I have a couple of hours set aside this morning for crafting as I have been asked to do a couple of cards for friends and I also need to do some for me, does life get any better? Probably not ;o)

This one I did quickly for a childs birthday.  I popped it together during the Wednesday card class and because the girls were embossing I did the same.  I have stamped the balloons in Versamark then Inked them up and used clear embossing powder.  This means the ink matches the cardstock exactly which is always great.

The owl punch is perfect here as a party goer looking for directions - I love it!

A close up of the balloons.

To make this card:

Card - Whisper White, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise

Ink - Versamark, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Basic Black

Tools - Heat Tool, Embossing Powder (Clear), Owl Punch

Embellishments - Twine

Hope you like it

See you soon

Visitors!

Hey Guys

Have had an awesome week!  My brother Terry came to visit with my Niece Alex and my Nephew Terry.  A fantastic time was had by all starting with Terrys birthday gift at Silverstone Racetrack and finishing at Thorpe Park for my daughter Bethanys 14th Birthday!  Think I could do with catching up on some sleep but was a brilliant week, thanks guys!

Just to show how keen a crafter I am, I have pictures of when I roped my visitors into a craft session!  We made the cute shirt and tie cards and also some cards for Beths birthday.  Here they are...

Here are Terrys creations...

And Alex's...

And Uncle Terry's, colours here worked really well!

And last but not least, my daughter Megans cards.  Sorry about the lighting in this one Meg, not sure what happened there!

What a crafty bunch ;o)

See ya

Owl punch

Hi Guys

This gorgeous card is cased directly from Vicky's blog (Crafting Claire).  It is the cutest thing and whilst not exactly the same all the main elements were Vicky's idea. 

This is using the NEW and long awaited owl punch.  I haven't used all of the owl punch as I only needed the body to punch out the cute owl from Punch Bunch.  The backing paper is from Playdate DSP and the ribbon is Chocolate Chip grosgrain.  The sentiment is from So Happy For You another sale-a-bration set.  I used the markers to colour the owl so his eyes weren't coloured which meant I could stamp the owl friends with their little eyes looking to the side.
