Celebrate Masculine Owl

As you can see, I have developed quite an addiction to the Owl Stamp and Punch from Stampin' Up!.  I wanted to create a simple, but elegant masculine card and I believe you can't go past classic black and white with a small amount of bling.  Love a quick and easy card when you need a crafting fix, but are short on time.

Hootie Owls for girls

After creating the Hootie Owls for boys card, I couldn't resist creating a Hootie Owl girl version.  The green girl owl uses the Stampin' Up! colours of Wild Wasabi and Certainly Celery and the pink girl owl uses Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink.  I love including buttons on cards.  These button brads are from the Designer Fabric Sweet Stitches range.  Just too cute!

Hootie Owl for boys

This Hootie Owl handmade card is perfectly suited for young boys.  I have used primary colours to keep the colour scheme in the design simple and am very pleased with the finished product.  The products used are all from Stampin'Up and include the colours Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Night of Navy.  Some of the cardstock has been textured embossed with Dots and  Square Lattice.  The owl itself has been stamped from a stamp set called Punch Bunch and then punched out using the Owl Builder.

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.

Once Upon A Time

The pretty patterned papers used in these cards is called 'Once Upon A Time' and are perfectly suited for a princess having a Birthday.
Ribbon has been added to some of the cards, whilst another has a couple of row of bling to add that Sparkle and Glitz, which I think most young girls will adore.

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.
