Create A Critter - You're A Hoot

I love this card! I think it is a combination of the colors of the paper and the image of the owl!

When my daughter saw this card she said she was going to take it. I think she wants to lose a hand or something because if she took just one it would mess up the sets I have! *okie thinks she might be a little OCD since she can't let go of one card from a set, she has to let go of a full set if she lets go of one*.

Cricut Expression
Cricut carts - Create A Critter; Mickey Font; George
Cuttlebug; D'Vine Swirls folder; Swiss Dots folder
Cardstock - Stampin Up, Core'dinations Whitewash; Prism
Patterned paper - Stampin Up
Stickles - Diamond
Stampin up markers
Cat Eye Inks
Spareparts brads




I really like how the moon that is behind the owl turned out. I used the Core'dinations Whitewash paper there and it looks so cool after it is embossed and sanded! I pop dotted the owl and the sentiment on the front. I also cut the leaves twice and layerd with pop dots.

You can't really see it too well but if you click the picture you might be able to, I used Diamond Stickles for the owls belly feathers.




I so totally put the Hoot going the wrong way *okie will never learn not to talk on the phone while crafting* so I had to cut the thing a part and rearrange the white background and the patterned strips. Luckily it worked out okay!

If you would like the cut file for this card you can find it here... YOU'RE A HOOT










Tonight is Stamp Club so I will be spending the afternoon and evening with my friend Linda, aka LGuild. We are suppose to check on booking motel rooms for the Great American Scrapbook Convention that is in June at Arlington Texas. I also get my Stampin Up stuff tonight so I am so excited!!

Tomorrow I will be posting the giveaway for a slighty used prize so don't come back if you don't like used products! *okie cracks up laughin*

    This is another cute card. Do you make these at stamp camp? You have to start making two of everything and one for you and one for your daughter but don't glue hers. Give her the kit and some tape. LOL Well then she might see some of the work in it. Your too nice I know you won't do it.
    I doubble dare you.Hee hee

    That is the cutest owl I have seen on any card. I just love it. Make a whole set of 4 for your daughter and she can have them all and won't mess up your sets!

    Another cute card! I need to get me some of the coordinations paper. The last time you gave us the heads up on the sale, I had my cart all loaded up, got distracted by life, came back the next day and the sale was over...so sad. Next time I'll know better. Have fun at your Stamp Club tonite!

    Linda - I usually make 4-6 of a card when I make them. But she still ain't gettin one! LOL

    Sandy - GASC is Great American Scrapbook Convention. It isn't like the Stampede really. It is HUGE. There are crops, classes and a lot of BIG name vendors there and the prices are fantastic!!

  23. okieladybug or okie_ladybugApril 7, 2011 at 8:53 PM

    Paulah the ProMarkers I use are Alcohol markers. The alcohol markers blend wonderfully, water base will streak when coloring over or doing some blending.

    Love Love Love the colors on this card. Have fun with your friend Linda. You did hide these cards so that if you daughter slips in while you are gone she won't be able to find them didn't you. Can you tell if have been in this boat before.
