A few days ago, my customer Brenda Carswell and her daughter Katie Carter came over to make cards. Katie needed a baby card and Brenda needed a sympathy card. Today I’m sharing Katie’s card. She wanted it to be blue because the baby’s mom is someone she was in school with and the school colors were blue. She also really wanted an owl. Here’s what she came up with.
Isn’t it adorable? I love the tiny scallop trim around the sentiment, and the blue owl with the little pink heart.
Here’s Katie hard at work assembling her owl.
And here she is proudly holding her finished card.
Here’s how she made it.
The card base is Dapper Denim card stock with a piece of Marina Mist Designer Series Paper glue to it.
The sentiment from the Better Together stamp set is stamped in Dapper Denim ink onto Whisper White card stock, then cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits. It is matted with a piece of Dapper Denim card stock cut with one of the scalloped ovals from the same Framelits set. Then it’s glued to the card front.
The owl is made using the Owl Builder Punch to cut Dapper Denim, Marina Mist, Whisper White, and Blushing Bride card stock.
The branch from the Best Birds stamp set is stamped in Dapper Denim onto Whisper White CS, then cut with the coordinating Birds & Blooms Thinlits dies.
The owl and the branch are attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Be sure to check back to see Brenda’s beautiful card.

Love this card Katie made for her sorority sisters new baby! The best thing about card making is being able to customize your card design and colors to the recipient. Katie chose the Kappa Kappa Gamma owl mascot and blue & blue colors for her friends special card. Good job Katie! I know your friend will love this card and the thought you put into it.
Cute, cute, cute! Love all the gorgeous blue!
