Happy Birthday Oliver. Card Number Two. A Tri Fold Card.

 Here's  Oliver's second card I made for his birthday. I've called him Ollie the Owl of course.This  die set, along with matching stamps is designed to go with aTri-fold card,  is by Crafter's Companion, which I'm happy to say was waaay less than half price (£2.20) at The Range and seeing all you get are the frames with a little bit of the owls outline, that's about right!  I would've been a little peeved at paying over £9 for them! (I also bagged a giraffe over the edge set from the Crafty Charity shop for 50p, worth it even if one thing was missing)  

 I swapped the heart in his 'wing' for a birthday pressy. Coloured in Promarkers and used papers from my stash from years ago, called Abstract Prints by the then Dovecraft.

The Happy Birthday die, the party word and party hats and the Banner dies were from The Range and were also well below half price. Yay!

   The paper on the right in this picture above came from a 6x6 paper pad called 'Neighourwood' Another one I love and just haven't wanted to 'cut into it'  But I will! I added it to cover the inside 'window' with some foiled leaves card so you couldn't see the sentiment through it. 

This is the back. I've made a 'pocket' with  a secret message, telling Oliver to say the secret code, which was 'I'm Ollie Owl', and nanny, me, would give him some birthday money! I loved making this card  and it would be very easy to make another using other animals in my stash! My only 'thing' was, I wish it had a whole die for the owls as well. As it was, you could only die cut the owls heads and then fussy cut the rest of them to fit onto the card.

That's it from me! Thank you for stopping by.
