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.

This Weeks Wednesday Freebie-CLOSED

  Happy Wednesday Everyone! Hope you're all fit and well. Here's this weeks freebie, not as late as I'd thought it would be. I've called it, 'We five Owlz' but that might change...another one might fall off the branch. Actually, I'm thinking I might make the leaves bigger... 
A comment would be lovely. No sharing please, unless it has the watermark. A link back here is always welcome! Thank you for stopping by. Have a great Day and do something you haven't done in a long time... and I don't mean cutting your toe nails!

Sorry CLOSED!

FlashBack Friday...My Very First Owl

This was my very first Owl card I made way back in 2009. It was a birthday card for a forum buddy. (She liked Owls) It was a freebie form Monica's, although I can't find it over there now as she has removed a lot of her 3D pages, but it's still worth a visit for other freebies. I printed this 3D Owl image onto glossy photo paper and used these freebie backing papers HERE
To see the original post click here Why not go and find the very first Owl card you posted on your blog and join in?! If any one downloaded one of my owls, I'd love to see him! Thanks for stopping by!
