Owl Card

So I finally got a chance to play with the new Owl punch!

I used the Woodgrain background stamp in Pear Pizzazz ink on Pear Pizzazz Cardstock.
The owl has Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Real Red Cardstock, and Greenhouse Gala DPS. Daffodil Delight CS for the branches. "Gratitude" from the stamp set Fabulous Phrases, is stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink. That was stamped on Whisper White CS punched out with the large oval punch. Baja Breeze CS punched out using the scallop oval punch.
I also used my new fav Brights Buttons! and Pumpkin Pie 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.

I really like the Owl punch and have to get some googly eyes for him!
Hope you have a great long weekend!

More New Stuff!

I love this New Stamp set, Aviary!
Had to choose colors from my new favorite color family The Brights Collection.
I used Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive.
Of course I had to get the Designer Buttons to match!
And don't forget the 1/8" Pumpkin Pie Taffeta ribbon!


Off to play with some more!
(I have the Two step Owl Punch I have to play with!)

New Toys!

I was playing with my new toys today and had to make this card from the new catalogue!
But instead I used a new in color called Concord Crush. I also used the bashful blue satin ribbon from the Summer Mini catalogue. I knew when I saw it, I had to have the Elegant Lines Embossing folder for the Big Shot!
Almost forgot that the "Thanks" is from the new stamp set, Fabulous Phrases.
It was so nice out today I had to take a picture outside!
And a picture inside the house. (You can see the greeting a little better)

I'm sure you'll see more cards with this folder from me!
I just love it!
