What A Hoot Card and FREE CATALOG

3.5" x 8" card by Karen Pedersen
What a HOOT! Yep, that's the August Stamp of the Month and it can be yours for only $5 ($17.95 value) with a $50 purchase (before shipping and tax).   You'll be prompted to add it before checking out when placing an order on my website.  Who wouldn't want this cute set?

I'll even tell you how to make this card today, but first I wanted to remind you that when you place a $100 order on my website during August, I will send you a FREE brand new Annual Inspirations Idea Book (over a $6 value, plus what it costs to ship).  This book is full of 193 pages of artwork, technique instructions, ideas and beautiful products.  I will send your book to you separately from your order.

 Now, back to the card and how to make it.



I had fun with paper piecing on this 3.5" x 8" card.  I used papers from the Chalk It Up Paper Packet and the Scaredy Cat Paper Packet. I also added a "moon" made of Honey Cardstock.


To paper piece this darling owl like I did, and make this card, just do the following:
  • Stamp your owl on the dotted argyle paper from the Scaredy Cat paper packet
  • Stamp him again on the staggered orange lined paper from the Scaredy Cat paper packet
  • Cut out his tummy and his eye area.  Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink. Adhere them to your dotted argyle owl.
  • Stamp the eyes you want on Colonial White Cardstock and then cut them out and adhere them to your owl
  • Cut out the whole owl. Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink.
  • Cut a 7" x 8" piece of Colonial White Cardstock and fold in half to make a 3.5" x 8" card. Round the edges with a Corner Rounder. Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink
  • Cut a 3.25" x 7.75" piece of Thistle Cardstock. Round the edges with a Corner Rounder. Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink.
  • Cut a 3" x 7.5" piece of the black stars paper from the Chalk It Up paper packet. Round the edges with a Corner Rounder. Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink.
  • Cut a 3" circle from Honey Cardstock. Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink.
  • Stamp a couple of 'bats' using the stamp in the set that looks like a baby bat wing.
  • Draw their heads with your Journaling pen.
  • Cut a 1 1/2" x 3" piece of Colonial White Cardstock.  Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink.  Stamp the sentimen "What a Hoot" in it with black ink. Let dry (or heat dry with your Heat Gun).
  • Color Hoot with the Golden Yellow and Marigold alcohol markers.
  • Cut a 1 3/4" x 3" piece of Sunset Cardstock. Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink.  Center sentiment piece on top of this and ahere.
  • Cut a 2" x 3" piece of Thistle Cardstock. Sponge the edges with a round sponge and black ink.  Center sentiment piece on top of this and ahere.
  • Tie a small bow with the Thistle Diagonal Striped ribbon.
  •  Put entire card together as seen in photo.
  • Finish off with a few black stars from the Scaredy Cat Assortment.
