Owl Birthday Card

This card was easy to make but visually looks quite impressive. To begin, I took a standard white square trifold card and cut off a triangle on the diagonal on the front square. I then stuck a square of lovely striped paper on the front of the second square, leaving a 5 mm border, so that a triangle of this could be seen once the card was folded.  On the front square, I then attached a triangle of contrasting green paper, again leaving a 5 mm border, and some ribbon along the bottom of the paper.

As a feature, I stamped three owls which I then coloured in copics before framing with some contrasting gold card and attaching to the front card. To finish, I attached a brad in the bottom left corner of the front square and in the top right corner of the middle square to bring the whole card together.

The recipient was very happy with the result!

Square Card with a twist

I had purchased a set of square white cards that had a third panel (two folds). I thought I would do something different and folded each of the outer two flaps on the diagonal so that they together would form the front flap and would open to reveal the inside (middle flap). I then cut two triangles of stripey paper and attached them to the card before attaching a ribbon to hold the card shut. I then stuck a red (and yellow) coloured stamp of an owl onto one of the flaps. I finished off the card with a few clear orange raised stickers and a flower.
