Masculine Owl Post It Note Holder Video

Hello, Crafters.

My Stampin' Up! pre-order arrived yesterday and I had 

to play with the owl from the Still Night Stamp Set first!

 As soon as I saw this stamp set in the catalogue, I

 knew it'd be the top of my wish list! 

 My first thought was to make a masculine card but

 something made me change my mind and make a Post-It

 Note Pad Holder instead! In the new Christmas 

Catalogue, there's a card sample which shows this 

branch with small pine branches adhered to the branches.

 It's a fabulous idea for a Christmas card, and Stampin'

 Up! have very thoughtfully included four dies for the 

branches in the co-ordinating die set called Night Owl

 Thinlits. As I was totally focused on making a non-Christmas 

masculine gift, I decided to use our Leaf Ribbon instead.

 I also used another new product that will be in the

 Christmas catalogue, and that is the Chicken Wire 

Elements. The size on the packet states they are 3.75"

 by 5 3/8" (9.5cm x 13.7cm), which is an ideal size for a card front. 

The sheets arrive with a silver border around them which 

could be left on if wanted. The size is then 4 1/8" x 5 7/8"

 (10.4cm x 14.9cm?), which is a bit bigger than normal

 for the UK, but is still do-able! 

Still staying focussed on masculine, I chose the 

WAKE UP. KICK BUTT. REPEAT. sentiment which is 

from the Enjoy Life Stamp Set. Not really my idea of a

 good sentiment but I think it'll be appreciated by men!

I hope you like this owl stamp as much as I do! ☺ 

That's about it from me today. Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
