Card Club - Sept - Felt Owl

Here's a cute felt owl. I chose a black card then put a turquoise layer embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I cut the Tim Holtz Cameo Frame from black card stock and cut the die in half. I placed a .5 stripe of yellow across the card over the bottom edge of the Cameo diecut.  The circle is cut from white with Spellbinder Nestabilities and placed over the yellow strip.   I cut the branch he is sitting on from dark green card stock with the Stampin Up Small Leaves sizzlet.  The owl was then adhered in the centre of the white circle.

Cards for Mom - Post it Birds

I made some of these bird cards for my Mom.  I've made some before which you can see here.  These are the cutest post it notes you ever saw.  I'm so glad I picked them up when I saw them.
On this card with the blue bird I used the some Karen Foster designer paper but selected cherry cobbler card stock.  A strip of old olive across the bottom with a Stampin Up Small Leaves sizzlet in white. The wing was cut with the Cricut and the Create a Critter cartridge then I embossed it with the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl folder.  I added a definition to the beak with a white gel marker and used a white brad for the eye.

For the purple bird I selected some Echo Park Paper Co. designer paper. It's soft muted tones worked well.  It's double sided so I cut it at 3.5" and flipped the smaller piece.  I added a strip of blue green card stock with the other details mentioned above being the same.

For the pink bird I chose some Renae Lindgren designer paper by Imaginations.  I chose a deep olive green card stock with matched very well with the paper.  Same details as above.

These are great cards which can be used for any occasion.

All Occasion Stack Class - Birdies

 I've used these birdie post it notes before.  They are so darn cute.  I found this designer paper which has both the blue and cranberry colors.  I cut the larger piece 4"x3.75" and the smaller piece 4"x 1.5". I taped them together on the back then wrapped the twill tape over the joint and tape the ends to the back.  This layer was then glued to the card front.  I glued the SU! small leaves die cut on the card front.  I glued the bird on top of the leaves.  The wing was cut on the Cricut with the Straight From the Nest Cartridge then embossed with either the Cuttlebug Devine Swirl or the SU! Finial Press folder. The wing is glued to the bird aligning the wing to the body. Making a hole in the eye with a push pins I added a white mini brad for the eye. This was a versatile design which allowed to make wide or tall cards and a couple of color options.
