Lolly & Sand: Adorable Owls | Sneak Peek | Sale-a-bration

Happy New Year crafty friends! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. This is another exciting day as it's our Positive Inkers Design Team Blog Hop and you're getting another Sneak Peek! Our theme this month is Sale-a-bration and I've used the uber cute Adorable Owls from Stampin' Up! It's one of the FREE choices with your $60 order!

Here's my card! And guess what!! You're getting 3 Sneak Peeks - woohoo! See the full stamp set, patterned paper & dies in my video further below in this post - will be posted after 9pm EST on Jan 2.

First - how cute is this owl! There are 3 cutie-pie owls & 3 greetings in the set that are perfect for many occasions. My grandson's 3rd birthday is coming up and he loves all types of critters so I'm certain he'll love an owl card!

Those eyes had me at first glance! I coloured them using my light Soft Succulent blend. For the rest of the colouring I went with 'less is more' and left lots of white on the owl. I used Crumb Cake & Smoky Slate blends and kind of mixed them for a unique colour.

Sneak Peek #2 is one of the dies from Conversation Bubbles - be sure to watch my video (below) for a good look at that bundle! I was super delighted to see the greeting from Adorable Owls fit into one of the dies!

Sneak Peek #3 - the cool patterned paper is from Ready to Ride. When you see this paper in the new Mini you might think it's for masculine card, but I beg to differ. 😊 It has an awesome shine to it, that gives the card a soft look. However, to give the card a bit of an edge, I cut the paper using one of the Basic Border dies. And again, to soften the card, I used Pool Party Sheer Ribbon - my fave ribbon from the Annual Catalogue!
