I saw these owls on Creating the Hive attributed to Kerry’s Paper Crafts.  They are created using the Big Shot Pillow Box die.  Aren’t they cute?  I couldn’t resist having them hold a paper chain of hearts!

I tried two different ways to do the “feathers” on the owls.  The one of the left (Melon Mambo) uses the 3/4″ circle punch to make the feathers.  Each one is attached separately  The one on the right (Pumpkin Pie) uses the Big Shot Tasteful Trim die.  Can you see the difference?

This beautiful piece of framed art is from our demonstrator magazine – front cover – couldn’t even open the magazine without pulling out supplies to case this!  The frame is one I had sitting around here so I had to readjust the layout to fit. 

Here’s a tip for getting all the phrases fairly straight – use your grid paper and a very soft pencil to make small tick marks. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – p.s. I Love You, Sweet Cake, Candy Conversation
card stock – Very Vanilla smooth and textured, Cherry Cobbler
Ink – Blushing Bride, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Calypso Coral
Etc – Framelits Hearts die, Full Heart punch, Timeless Type alphabet, Dazzling Details, Vanilla 1/8″ ribbon, Vintage Trinkets, Heart Trio punch

The Dazzling Details is on the little row of hearts below the Cherry Cobbler “Love.”  I should put this out in my classroom – but I kind of like having it in my office.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
