Birthday Owl Again!

Tuesday, Feb 28 is the LAST DAY of Sale-A-Bration 2023! I don't want you to miss out on these fun freebies so I managed to make a couple last minute cards using the exclusive products! You can view the whole FREE selection right HERE. 

First up, this cute little owl again, and the very fun DP! This card uses the latest sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Adorable Owls (Sale-A-Bration) 
Ink: Memento Black, Poppy Parade, Poppy Parade marker
Stampin' Blends: Dark Basic Black, Dark Smoky Slate, Dark Balmy Blue, Dark Pumpkin Pie
Paper: Basic White, Basic Black, Dandy Designs (Sale-A-Bration)
Accessories: Dimensionals

I even know exactly who this is going to! Love that! 

Owls again!

Happy Friday! Today I've got a couple more almost-matching birthday cards for my stash. This time I used the sketch from The Paper Players and kept them simple one layer cards.
I didn't realize til I linked it just now, that I swapped the position of the owls.... but it does work better with their line of sight, so it's probably fine.... 

(Winter afternoon sunlight is tricky to photograph with... my phone kept casting a shadow, and the snow drifts did too... hence the super funky angles in these shots. I promise the cards are the usual rectangle...!)

First up, this happy yellow owl, and these were colored with Stampin' Blends.

Supplies:

Stamps: Adorable Owls

Ink: Memento Black, Balmy Blue

Blends: Light Daffodil Delight (body), Light Pumpkin Pie (beak/talons), Light Balmy Blue (eyes), Light Old Olive & Light CHerry Cobbler (hat) Light Pumpkin Pie (body), Dark Daffodil Delight (beak/talons), Dark Balmy Blue (eyes) 
Paper: Daffodil Delight & Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Red & Green Pearls

And then this bolder, blue card, I colored the owls with the Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens. Both ways look good to me! 

Supplies: 

Stamps: Adorable Owls

Ink: Stazon Black, Pacific Point

Watercolor Pencils: Cajun Craze (body), Granny Apple Green (eyes), Crushed Curry (beak/talon), Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy (hat), Pumpkin Pie (body), Daffodil Delight (beak/talon), Old Olive (eyes)
Paper: Pacific Point & Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Classic Matte Dots 

Two more cards to mail out soon! Yeay! What are you making? 

Birthday Class Owl

Happy Tuesday morning! We had an extra long weekend here and now I am excited to dive into prepping for my classes later this week! 

So today I have another birthday owl (again with the Tweety Bird look....hmm...) with this cute Sale-A-Bration freebie, but this time for my upcoming class. Once again I colored him with Stampin' Blends (more colors are on my list, really!) and again he's on a circle die cut. For something a little different, and totally easy for anyone to do- I just stamped off the greeting repeatedly. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Adorable Owls
Ink: Memento Black, Pumpkin Pie
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Balmy Blue & Basic White card stocks
Accessories: Black Gingham Ribbon, Dimensionals, Circle Dies, big shot

and here are the Blends I used, if you're curious: 

Face/Tummy: Light Daffodil delight
Back/Head: Dark Daffodil Delight
Eyes: Light Balmy Blue sparkle, Dark Balmy Blue iris
Talon/ Beak: Bronze
Hat: Dark Pumpkin Pie

...and, just a thought, but five sets of Stampin' Blends markers will earn you this owl set for free! 

A Sale-A-Brating Owl

Happy Monday! 

Today I've got the final owl I colored last week. This one used brighter shades and I thought that was fun with the party hat. And this is fun because today is my childhood best friend's birthday. Her card has already been sent, but this could have worked too! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Adorable Owls

Ink: Memento Black, Melon Mambo, Stampin' Blends

Paper: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Opal Rounds, Circle Dies, Dimensionals, big shot

And then the Blends details on the cute little owl, if you're curious: 

Beak/talons: Dark Pumpkin Pie

Eyes: Light Old Olive

Tummy/face: Light Daffodil Delight

Back/Head: Dark Daffodil Delight

Hat: Light Melon Mambo

altho now I'm thinking this little owl is colored just a biiit like Tweety Bird..... 

What are you making this week? 

Sale-A-Bration Owls!

If you don't get my emails, or follow me on facebook, you might have missed that Sale-A-Bration began yesterday! (it's on my sidebar for you!) Sale-A-Bration is so much fun, because for every $50 you spend (before tax and shipping) you get to choose a FREE gift! This year it's all stamps or beautiful DP! You can also earn gifts with every $100, or by hosting a $300 workshop, or if you place a $300 order or more! 

The first free item I picked was this fun owl stamp set. The other day I took a little time to try coloring them in with the Stampin' Blends I own (not enough!) and see what I might like. 

And then another day I made them into cards, but today I'm just sharing two. These use the latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, and I'm putting it with the Inspire.Create.Challenge for something new to me. And it totally qualifies for the SUO Challenge too which is to make whatever you want! 

Supplies:
Stamps: Adorable Owls

Ink: Memento Black, Soft Suede, Balmy Blue, Stampin' Blends

Paper: Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, Basic White cardstocks, Hues of Happiness DP

Accessories: Circle dies, big shot
