owls are a hoot!

Although the greeting farm has been my go-to focal favorite, I’ve been an admirer (and blog stalker) of Lawn Fawn as well.  I just fell in love with their stamp set, Critters in the Forest, which includes a coordinated die set as well. The owls and little log in this set are super cute and easy to colour – ESP for beginners like me!

I went to town stamping, cutting, and assembling – looks like I’ll have no trouble making several card sets and a bunch of cute little card scenarios for christmas. For more card ideas with this delightful set, try doing a google image search to see more.

This is a cute little owl from Art Impressions I really liked – its one of the first owl images I printed for operation write home cards. I wasn’t sure how to lay this one out or how to bring the pattern and solid elements together, so this card came out a bit more awkward looking than the other card above.

If you like these stamps, MarkerPop and Oozak sell both product lines at good prices – but they might offer differing items and you should definitely read their blogs or social media links to get coupon codes and special discounts . . . speaking of discounts, if you can find even better pricing, let me know! I’d love to shop there for myself!
