How to Make Cratf Gatefold Owl Card

Gatefold Owl Card

        Hi friends, I just couldn't resist making another Owl Card...especially since I found to my amazement that so many of you loved owls!!

        This gatefold Owl card was so easy and fun to make since I used a Sizzix Owl  Fold A Long die , part of the candy I had won from Katarina...blogland is an amazing generous place!

Heat Embossed Flower

           The flower and leaves I used at the bottom is from Winnie and Walter In Bloom Elsa's Flora Stamp Set .I used WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle embossing powder on the leaves...its one of my favorite embossing powders!

Owl Shaped Card

      My owl has a  pattern paper base [ details below] and  details made using foam. I love to use foam to give light weight dimension in  papercraft projects ! Sticking it however can be tricky...you can use tacky tape/ Aleene's tacky glue or fabric glue.

         Since this card is for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop I wanted to add a nice cup of Cappuccino inside my card but I didn't have any cup/ glass die so I  improvised and made a creamy frothy cup of coffee with dies I had in my stash!

Coffee Cup

         I drew the glass freehand and used the "icing" from a Marianne Cupcake set to make the frothy cream of my coffee! Cut up a Spellbinders die cut to make the sleeve of my coffee cup! I am so happy with the  way it has turned out!

And here is my Owl Fancy Fold card sitting happily amongst the flowers in our terrace garden.
