Nerdy Owls

Hello, Pink and Main Fans!! Have you entered this month’s challenge back to school challenge??

No?? Well, I have not one but two cards to help inspire you.

    

For BOTH of these cards I used the uber cute Owl Nerds stamp set and the Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies.

   

I stamped my images on white smooth cardstock with Momento Ink in Tuxedo Black and colored my images with color pencils and blended it out using odorless mineral spirits.

For the card above, I used the rounded stitched rectangle to also cut stitch lines into the sides of the center band. You can do this by simply assembling your card front, first. Then, cutting the stitched rectangle from the assembled pieces. This also insure the stitched line line up on both sides.

I added foam adhesive to the back of my owl to give some dimension.  And topped my card with a basic bow.

For this card…

I repeated the same steps for coloring. But decided to pop him up in a little scalloped hexagon using the NEW Nested Hexagon and Scallop Hexagon Dies.

            

I also used the fishtail flag/pennant die from the Sweet on You Set that I added enamel stickers onto. Like the other card I attached the flags to my card front before cutting it out with the stitched rectangle dies. I just love those stitched details, it gives the die-cut pieces a nice “finished” look.

You can find the Sweet on You set is in the Limited Deals section. And what’s awesome is it comes in a bundle with both the stamps and dies together!

How cool is that?? Pretty cool if you ask me!

We hope you can join in the fun and join in on this month’s challenge!!

Happy Stamping!!
