    Who Loves Ya cu 02186

    Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop!
    Today we’re showing off this  wonderful new Owl die! Isn’t it fabulous? I love all the detail and it cuts like a dream. 

    Who Loves Ya 02185
    For my owl card, I used a dark flecked rust card stock to die cut a frame using a rectangle die. I used the center cut out to die cut the owl. I love this rust color paired w/ the soft sky color so I traced around the die and fussy cut the blue layer. A leaf die was used to cut all the rust & sky leaves in graduating sizes. I found a piece of designer paper that had the two colors in it and used it as a backdrop behind the frame. The greeting banner and backing banner were also die cut and I put a wave in the top one because it was a bit long for the layout. I added some sequins to the leaves and some bigger, bluer sequins to his eyes. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please be sure to visit all of the Design Team blogs to see their fabulous samples with this beautiful owl die.

    On my Christmas card, I die cut the beautiful bird in white and traced around the die on red and fussy cut it to attach behind the white die cut version. The sentiment was stamped on white and I used a bracket border die to cut the bottom. I used another die from the border set to cut the red layer beneath it. A red snowflake and some red and clear crystals were added to finish my 5.50 x 4.25 card.

    For my non-Christmas card, I went with a sympathy card. After stamping the sentiment on the lower section, I die cut the dove above it. I used some blue-green Copics to color the die cut bird then used  the ink spots image to add the dots on the bird and also on the light blue layer. The stamped die cut bird was then added back into the empty die cut space. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    For this first card, I white embossed the image on a dotted green designer paper, then sponged a little extra green ink around the white embossing to make it stand out a bit more. The sentiment was also white embossed and sponged w/ the die still in place. It’s attached to a layer I first die cut w/ a Spellbinders labels 1, then I die cut it w/ a smaller decorative labels 1 and put it back in the labels 1 frame. I added an embossed white strip and a strip of a coordinating dp on top and bottom. This came about because I accidentally cut the the dotted green dp a little too short so I had to lengthen the panel in order for it to look balanced. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: North Coast Creations – Find Beauty
    Paper: Neenah white, dp (Kaisercraft -Chapter One)
    Ink: Colorbox frost white pigment, Kaliedacolor Caribbean sea

    On my second card, I stamped the silhouette image using an orange to red rainbow pad. On the left side of the panel I embossed it w/ a honeycomb border folder then attached it to a larger panel I had stamped the ODBD honeycomb background using the same rainbow ink. The sentiment was stamped w/ the red chalk ink and die cut using an ODBD Elegant Ovals die. Everything was attached to a 5.50 x 4.25 card and I added a stamped and fussy cut cloud and some crystals on the bottom of the sentiment.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: North Coast Creations – Something Marvelous, ODBD Honeycomb Bg
