Pop-up Owl Card Tree Trunk Tutorial

Wonder if the title should read 'Pop-out Owl Tutorial' instead. When you open the card, the owl pops out of the tree trunk~ so cute!! I mentioned last week that I would share with you a video on how I made this card:

Was hoping to get to it sooner, but Monday morning I pulled something (not sure what) in my neck/shoulder. So even though it was on the left side...and I am right handed~ stamping has been minimal. Not much you can do when you can't move your head! Plus...it's very difficult to stamp while on muscle relaxers...(wink).

Here you go:

Please let me know if you have any questions!!

Thanks again Emma for the inspiration, be sure to check out her blog at www.ladynthestamp.blogspot.com

Stampin' hugs,

Peek-a-Boo Owl

Singing..."Oh what a night..late December back in '63" (LOL)
Last night was my Holiday Stamp-a-Stack and it was quite a night...thank you all to who came out and 'suffered' through it!! It was pretty crazy~ who knew stampin' could be so stressful??
It was crazy fun...a whole lot of "pass me the scissors, can you hand me the snail...oops I messed up" etc. Here are the goodies for the games and door prize:

Upstairs as everyone arrived, they got started making the 'Holiday Gift Card Holders' posted here.

Then as people finished their stockings, they could head downstairs to my 'Stampin' Studio'...ummm it's really my basement...but calling it a 'studio' sounds better!! (wink)

There were three different stations to create their cards, (2 each of each design).

Thanks to everyone who came out and hopefully I will see you again Oct. for my Breast Cancer Awareness Stamp Camp. BIG hugs!!

 

Now...here is such a clever idea I got from a fellow demonstrator Emma Fewkes . She has an amazing blog and I fell in love with this idea about a year ago~ printed off her PDF instructions and then stashed it away in my 'to-create' pile. Do you have one of those?? So here we are a year or so later, I sat down to give it a try...and love it!! I showed the kids who also loved it and suggested that I do a video tutorial on this...I contacted Emma and asked if she would mind, she gave me her blessing so that is what I will be sharing with you early in the week. Thanks again Emma!!
Here is the card closed:

Here it is open:

I told you it is freaking cute!!!

On the left side I will write something like..."Guess Whooo's" then you see the "Thinking of You" sentiment stamped on the right.
