Clean and simple new baby card

 

I made this sweet new baby card the other day. I used the Project Life framelits to cut the card base and the white front, & repeat stamped "Hello" and the seed head image across the front. I stamped the bottle image in Blushing Bride  ink & raised it on  Dimensionals, Stampin' Up!'s 3d foam pads, with some Daffodil Delight seam binding for a bow.

 

The "Hello" & bottle image are from the Silhouettes and Script stamp set which is a lovely hostess stamp set - you can get your hands on it if you place an order of £150 or more.

 

It made a quick and effective card that's not too bogged down in pink or blue.

Owl punch pop up

 

Another owl punch card, this time a pop up.

 



 

I made not one, but TWO videos. I had SUCH important things to say about it!!

 

A proper look at the card...

How to cut a window in the front of the card so that you can see the pop up element behind (in this case, the owl).

"Owl" be seeing you....ahem

 

Ok, that post title was painful. Sorry.

But I was messing around with the Lacy & Lovely stamp set (item no 122887) & it occurred to me that the center of the smallest flower, punched out, would make great owl eyes. 

So I used the Stampin' Up! Owl punch (118074) & made the owl as usual. For the eyes, I stamped the Lacy & Lovely flower & punched it out with the 3/4" circle punch (119873).

You can then either punch the middle out of that circle using the larger eye circle from the owl punch (replace the centre with a contrasting colour punched out using the same circle) or just stick the punched out eyes on top.

I really like how it came out - it totally changes the character of the owl.

The stamped circle is the large stamp from the Lacy & Lovely stamp set with the middle punched out. The leaves & 'Hello' are from the Summer Silhouettes stamp set (126447). I used the 'stamp kissing' technique to get the variegated look on the leaves.

The inks are Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise & Real Red from the Brights collection (131182). I used Baked Brown Sugar (131174) for the eyes.
