Paper Owls

I couldn't resist purchasing this Patterned Paper with the colorful girl owls.  Initially, it was the paper the design was printed on that grabbed my appeal.  When browsing through Scrapbooking Stores or stands at Craft Shows, I'll always pick up patterned paper that has been printed on brown paper or paper that has that recycled look.   I think it simply narrows down to the fact there is no 'white' on this card that I like the best.


The patterned paper is double sided and has the same color circles on the back.  I've used a rectangle of the circles with four of the gorgeous girl owls in this design and separated the 2 by some Early Espresso taffeta ribbon tied in a knot. The card is double mounted on Soft Suede card stock and Early Espresso card stock with the top punched in a decorative scallop.

Princess Birthday Wishes

I'm loving the different color combinations used on these Princess Birthday Wishes cards, however, I cannot take credit for choosing the color combinations.  Stampin' Up! have a Color Coach where you choose a color like Tempting Turquoise and see the Creative Combinations.  In the first card for example, the Creative Combinations with Tempting Turquoise are Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo.
Quite often I find myself fanning through the Color Coach looking for color combinations that appeal to me.  I didn't necessarily want to use Pink for these cards, but they still needed to be girly.  
The second card uses Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz.  
The third card uses Perfect Plum, Marina Mist and Rose Red.
The design of this card is versatile in that 'numbers' can be stamped above or beside the 'birthday wishes' greeting.  I recently stamped a couple of cards with '13' above the 'birthday wishes' greeting for my nieces' friends and they looked really good.

Bird'day Wishes

One of my favourite colour combinations is Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip & Baja Breeze.   Repetition of a stamped image like this bird from the Stampin' Up! Best Wishes and More stamp set is effective and easy to create.  The 'birthday wishes' greeting is from the Stampin' Up! So Happy for You stamp set.  The flowers are made out of felt and have been attached to the punched circle with a silver brad.  
Hint:  Before attaching the coloured card stock to the card, tape them together from the back and then scallop punch the bottom starting from the centre.
