Wise Owl Meet Lawn Fawn (Mash Up)

Hello! I don't have an actual card today, just a really fun discovery I made while out shopping yesterday. If you know me from the PTI message board, you know I have a great love for the Wise Owl stamp set. Well while I was out shopping at my local stamp shop I saw a cute little Lawn Fawn set called Hats off to you. As soon as I saw it I knew those hats would fit my beloved owl. So I had no recourse but to buy the set. And then I ran home and started masking and stamping. Here are the first four. Eventually they will get turned into cards but for now, just look at this cuteness....Its Prince and Princess Owl! OMG the cuteness! LOL
And here we have Graduate Owl and Leprechaun Owl. Is that not the cutest? A tiny bit of masking is all it takes... and I still have more hats to explore... Santa Owl, Witch Owl, Birthday Owl, Pilgram Owl.... I will keep you posted.

Bookmark Gift Set

I made this for a PaperCrafts mag call. It wasn't picked up, so now I think of it as a reject. LOL. Reject or not, I still really like it and I think I will gift it to one of my daughter's teachers. Its a little folder that holds some bookplates and some cute little bookmarks. I used the All Booked Up and Wise Owl sets from PTI. The plaid paper is really old, from Cloud9. But I think any plaid would work fine for this, I just really liked the colors. The base is PTIs rustic cream cardstock. Lots of dark chocolate and Chai Tea ink. Thanks for stopping in.

More Wise Owl for Fall

A little more Wise Owl love. I made this the same day that I made the double owl card I showed a few days ago. The base is Terracotta tile. The owl and background are stamped on cream. I used Out on a Limb and Additions for the background. I used several inks: Versamagic pumpkin, PTI lemon tart, orange zest, and terracotta tile. I used copics to color the owl. The sentiment is also from Wise Owl. Thanks for stopping by!

Wise Owl is Ready for Fall

Good morning friends! I have been stamping my little heart out this past week. I have been using lots of older sets too! Whats the use of keeping them if they dont get used? Today features stamps from Papertrey Ink (surprise, surprise...LOL). The sets are Wise Owl, Out on a Limb, and Birthday Basics. I started with a base of cream cardstock. I stamped the branch in dark chocolate and the leaves in a variety of inks including: versamagic pumpkin spice and mango, pti orange zest and terracotta tile. I stamped my owls on a scrap piece of cream and colored and cut them out with my copics. I added some pp (PTI) and summer sunrise card and a strip of dark chocolate twill.
Before I go I have to give a little shout out to my first baby. My little girl turns 10 today! Where does the time go?

Another Owl

Good morning friends! Today I have a card using the mat stack 3 die and stamp (from PTI All Booked Up) and Wise Owl. If you have been here before then you probably now how much I love Wise Owl. Today's card uses an Aquamist base (PTI) and some super yummy patterned paper from Echo Park. The mat stack is cut out of Vintage cream (PTI) Some of my pp was cut using the XL rick rack die from PTI. The owl was stamped on Kraft and shaded with my copics. The bow is orange zest satin ribbon.

Owls Like Books!

Good Morning! I have a couple of new things to show you today. I hope you like them. I was a busy little bee at my craft table yesterday. I am making bookmarks for the first day of school. I am hoping that my fellow teachers will like them as much as I do. These bookmarks are so easy too, with a little help from the PTI bookmark die.I cut the bookmark out of Aquamist cardstock. The patterned paper is brand new and from a company called EchoPark. I had never heard of them before. I picked it up at my LSS. The owl on the bookmark is from Hero Arts. The sentiment is from PTI All Booked Up. The scalloped circle is from PTI Boxes, Bags, and Tags.
Here I have a little card you could give away with the Bookmark. I have a variety of stamps on here as well. The owl is from PTI Wise Owl. The little flower is from With Sympathy. One sentiment is from All Booked Up and the other is from Wise Owl. I have more pp from Echo Park and an aquamist base. Its double sided paper. The trees have that wavy brown on the back and the flowers have the green polka dot. Thanks for stopping in today!

Wise Owl with a flower belly

Hi there! I have a little wise owl for you this morning. He is mounted on super cute Doodlebug paper. I love Doodlebug. I buy it and then hoard it. LOL! This is brand new though. I mounted it on a new leaf card that I cut with the labels one die. I love using that die to make shaped cards. Thanks for stopping by.

Wise Owl Hangin in New Leaf

Oh I just love PTI's Wise Owl, one of the cutest sets ever! Here is birthday card featuring wise owl and Turning a New Leaf. I used a kraft base, the leaves are all ripe avocado. The sentiment is from Giga Guidelines. I stamped the owl on a scrap piece of cream, colored and cut him out. I have a little piece of twill tied around the base. Thats it!
I hope your Monday is starting off a little better than mine. I am so grouchy, most likely because I can't have breakfast. I am a breakfast eater. I cant have breakfast because I have a blood draw this morning and it needs to be a fasting blood draw. I have to do this every three months since I have diabetes (type 1). The information helps them see how I am doing with managing the disease and how my pump is working, etc. Its been ten years but I can not get used to these blood draws. My arm veins wont even cooperate anymore, they take it out of my hand now. And it HURTS! Ok I am done whining now! Thanks for stopping by

Blue Eyed Owl

The last in my frenzy of wise owl projects. This one uses both Wise Owl and Vintage Picnic. The patterned paper is Urban Prairie by Basic Grey. Cardbase is Aqua Mist cs from PTI. Hibiscus burst twill tied around the top. I dont know about this guys eyes. I rarely use these eyes because I think it makes wise owl look a little strung out, maybe he has had too much coffee.

Many Mini Owls

Still playing with Wise Owl. I hardly ever use the little guys, don't know why, I guess I just like the big guy so much. This time I stamped the little guys in a row on Stamper's Select White. I colored them in with my copics. Everything is mounted on hibiscus burst paper. I used stripes of urban prairie paper. I tied the whole thing with hibiscus burst twill. I stamped the sentiment with dark chocolate. The sentiment is from Vintage Picnic.

Wise Owl in the Flowers

After the Papertrey Princess challenge the other day I had Wise Owl sitting out on my craft table. (Let it be known I rarely put anything away- just ask my husband.) I couldnt resist using him to create a few more cards. Wise Owl truly is one of my favorite sets. I also wanted to use up some of this basic grey Urban Prairie patterned paper. Somehow I bought both the 6x6 and 12x12 pads. This paper is from the 6x6 pad.
Details: I stamped the stems in ocean tides on stampers select white. I stamped the flower in dew drops chalk ink, mango. I created a base of aqua mist. I cut the pp to size and glued it on the base. I adhered the strip of flower. I stamped thank you (From Vintage Picnic) on the flowers in dark chocolate. I stamped Wise Owl on a piece of scrap white. I colored him with copics and cut him out. I stamped his belly on the pp, cut it out and adhered it. I popped him up with pop dots.
Thats all I have for today. The kids and I are off again, this time heading to my BFF's house, to visit with her and her twin boys. I have a couple of posts set up to run in my absence. Summer is coming to end here, school for my kiddos starts up on August 17th. I still have my own fingers crossed that I will have a job come September. Thanks for stopping by!

Papertrey Princess Challenge

Wise Owl Takes a Picnic

This is for the papertrey princess blog challenge over at Serendipity.

The challenge was to use an owl.  I love my wise owl set.  It has always been one of my favorites.  I paired it up with the basket and flowers from Vintage Picnic.  Both sets are by PTI.  The patterned paper is from basic grey (urban prairie).  Everything else is by PTI. I used copics to color the images and paper pieced the bellies and the baskets.

Tea for Two Owls

I am so happy that my wise owls love tea!  I used chocolate and scarlet ink.  I colored them up with my copics and then adhered them to a scarlet jewel card base.  I used some PTI black and white dp and colored it with my copics.  Tied the whole thing off with some saddle stitched scarlet ribbon.

Wise Owl Takes Tea

I think Wise Owl is one of my favorite sets from PTI.  Of course if you ask me tomorrow that could all change.  Today Mr. Owl is taking tea with the cup from Everyday Classics.  The sentiment is from Tea for Two.  He is stamped in dark chocolate and scarlet jewel.  I colored him with copics.  The patterned paper is Bitty Boxes.  Oh how I love that paper.   To round out everything we have a bit of button twine and three scarlet jewel buttons.   

This is the first card I made after getting my craft table back!  There is no other furniture in the living room or dining room.  I told my husband if he could just finish the baseboards on the craft table wall and put my table back I would not nag at all about the completion of the rest of the room.  His vacation is over and he doesnt have a day off until Thursday so it might be awhile til the room is totally finished.  He works twelve hour days with an hour commute so working on work days is out.  Anyway in honor of the new floor I took my picture there.  See how pretty?  I am in love.
