Instructions
From the designer: Whooo doesn’t love owls? This adorable owl features layers of Creative Photo Corners as the owl’s feathers! Simple shapes make it easy to cut and create this handsome Valentine.
-
Cut multiple circles with dies from kraft cardstock.
-
Select the largest circle die and use it to cut and create a moon shape and oval. This will be the owl’s body and wing.
-
Ink the edges of the Creative Photo Corners Kraft.
-
Starting at the bottom of the moon shape, apply Creative Photo Corners Kraft, building the design upwards.
-
Continue to work up the left-hand side of the moon shape and trim the Creative Photo Corners Kraft at the curved edge if necessary. Cut a second oval to use as the other wing. Ink the edges of the ovals.
-
Attach one wing to the right-hand side with 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size.
-
Attach the second wing behind the body with 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size.
-
Create the owl’s head similarly by cutting a section out of a circle. Cut more circles from black, peach, grey, and white cardstock to create the eyes. Cut peach cardstock with a leaf shape for the nose and a heart shape for the feet. Adhere these using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
-
Create the card base from white cardstock and mat patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Print or stamp a sentiment on white cardstock and adhere to the patterned paper.
-
To finish, attach the owl to card front with E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and add a small red die cut heart to the Owl’s chest with 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size.
