Bird Cage

The Bird Cage stamp is from the Stampin' Up! Happy Moments Stamp set. Five colours with co-ordinating Designer Pattern Papers have been chosen for this card design, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and Perfect Plum.  The Bird Card stamp is versatile in the sense that it can be used on a female or male card design.

For you

The For You card is a quick and simply design.  The flower stamp belongs to the same Stampin' Up! stamp set as the Owl I've been using recently, Punch Bunch.  The white card stock has been run though a Cuttlebug using the Square Lattice textured embossing folder and the scallop trim border punch was used on the black card stock.  To finish the card, 3 basic black brads and a Pearl basic jewell was added to give the stamped flower image sparkle and a touch of elegance.

Happy Birthday Bird

I adore these 3 Stampin' Up! colours together - Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade and Blushing Bride.  The card design is feminine and who doesn't like a bit of bling.  One of the techniques I don't do that often (but should) is to round the corners on some of the card stock and designer series paper.  I believe this gives more interest and style to the card and the overall finish makes for one very pretty layered card.

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.
