Graduation Owl CARD

"Whooo Whooo" everyone!  There is a cute owl party challenge going on over at "Top Spot" Still addINKtive.  This week they're featuring SU Owl Builder Punch.  My previous Wedding Owl punch card was spotted and showcased.

The Owl Punch has so many possibilities.  In one quick move, Two-Step Owl punch cuts out all of the pieces you need to build an owl. It couldn't be easier to create a great accent or focal point: just punch and then layer the pieces.

The diploma is a 1" x 1 1/2" piece of copy paper.  It's adhered to the owl with mini glue dots. 

All supplies Stampin' Up! ... unless noted.

A Perfect Fall Wedding CARD, The I Do Photos and LIM95



This post is kind of long but I'd think you'll like it.  Please forward & share with friends for those who love the Owl Builder punch & also pretty weddings.



A big Congratulations to Kelly and Ian on their Happy I Do day back in late October.  It was a perfect Fall wedding at The Old Homestead in scenic Crockett, CA (wedding photographs below).  So on with the card ...

My owl wedding card. The owl dress draped with a string of pearls and a touch of one glamorous rhinestone!

A close up photograph above of the owl bride's dress and ivory tulle veil.  At Kelly & Ian's wedding, the couple made the sweetest wedding favors I've have ever seen.  They were a mason jar filled with delicious oatmeal cookies adorn with beautifully laced & ivory satin picot edge-ribbon draped all around (sorry, no picture).  On the owl card I personalized it by adhering a piece of the picot-edge ribbon from Kelly's favors and adhered it onto the veil for the owl bride card "something new". 

 A string of pearls!

Below are a few of my favorite photographs I took of the Happy I Do couple Kelly & Ian.  Hope you enjoy them.

The Wedding Vows

A big congratulations to Kelly and Ian on their Happy I Do day!

A Perfect Fall Evening Wedding it was!

 A photograph of my little grown up family. My son Matthew, Marian (me), my daughter Mandy (who was in the wedding party as a bridesmaid/brides hair stylist and by the way who caught the bouquet) and her sweet boyfriend Damon.   Mandy is wearing my favorite pearl necklace "something olde" given to me from my God Mother from when I was born.   Every year my God Mother would add a pearl and then when I turned sweet 16 she finished off the necklace.  God Bless my sweet Nina Lucy.   Doesn't Mandy look great!

LQQK there's more!  Over at Less is More Chrissie & Jen created some inspiring

Glamour and Glitz. 

Rich royalty gems a string of pearls and a sparkly rhinestone! 

 

 I know my card might be too intricate to some for this challenge but I really like it a lot and hope you enjoy it too! Would love to hear what you think ... thank you!

Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest, dimension, and color to your cards, tags, and scrapbook pages. You can glue punched shapes directly onto your projects or layer a sheet of card stock that has been punched over a coordinating card stock for a reverse effect. In one quick move, our Two-Step Owl punch cuts out all of the pieces you need to build an owl. It couldn't be easier to create a great accent or focal point: just punch and then layer the pieces.

■ Includes an owl body, detailed eyes (not just one circle size but three so you can create dimension), and a small heart
■ New, sleeker body style
■ Larger surface area offers precise cutting and leverage
■ Locks to store
