Halloween Owls

If you have spent anytime at all on my blog, I think by now you have figured out that I have an obsession with the owl punch.  I just canNOT stop using it!
So when I saw people using the owl punch to make owls dressed up for Halloween, I just HAD to do them!
Here's the card we made at club this month:

We used the owl punch to make all 3 owls.  The fence is using the Word Window Punch.  I used more mustard and old olive for the card colors (I have never used more mustard before, but I like how it accents the owls).
Pumpkin Owl: Owl punch, 1" circle punch
Ballerina Owl: Owl punch, 1 3/4" Scallop circle
Pirate Punch: Owl punch

For the moon, I punched the 1 1/4" circle out of a post it note, then sponge daubed inside it.

And that was it!
Here's some other owls that we made:

Lastly, I wanted to teach my club a new technique, so we did a card using the black magic technique (click to follow link to splitcoaststampers).  

It was simple, and fun, and I love that you can use any image.
And my upline taught me that you can use permanent marker on the rhinestone basic jewels... blew my mind!

Pumpkins, Apple Cider and Sweaters

I'm pretty sure I write this every year around this time, but I just SO love fall.
For one of our club projects this month, we made this simple, understated card:

I love, love, love it.  We used 4 different punches: Wide Oval, 1 3/4 Cirlce, Decorative Label and the Bird Punch.  We sponged the pumpkins in Tangerine Tango (the card stock is pumpkin pie).  The colors are old olive, pumpkin pie and early espresso.
Later this week I will be posting the things we did at the Regional Conference last weekend.  Happy Fall!
