Whooo's in the Wood hand-stamped CardMaking tutorial

Do you ever see those gleaming, colorful spots of light at night and get a start?  It's simply the eyes of the critters out and about, checking me out as I go on a walk.  This hand-crafted card was inspired by those critters and their eyes peaking out at me from the dark.  With a fun punch-art aspect, this knot in the wood has you wondering whoooooo's in it - lol.  Enjoy this whimsical hand-stamped, punch-art card that is perfect for Halloween or any time you want to say helloooooo!

These little eyes are almost spooky - lol.  So cute - I love how they 'glow' in the knot in this wood.  Simply punch the eyes in Crushed Curry and Early Espresso card stock twice (once for the outside and one for the inside).  Using the fine tip of the Mulitpurpose Liquid Adhesive you can adhere them to the 1-3/4" Circle Punch in the Early Espresso card stock.

 

Stamping the Hardwood background stamp on the Crumb Cake card stock in the Early Espresso ink pad allows for a great nature inspired base to this card. 

Inside the cutest Owl awaits!  Using the Owl Builder Punch and this sheet of Early Espresso patterned Designer Series Paper (from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack) he's a stylish punch-art waiting to wish youooooo a Happy Halloween!  Whooooo - Youooooo?? Yes!! (te, he, he, he)

 

Add him to a limb with the stamped sentiment from the And Many More stamp set.  Stamping the sentiment first allows for a proper placement of the punch-art owl.  I chose the Happy Halloween (for the Boo-Tastic Crafternoon Card Making class) but really, any sentiment would work - from 'Whoooo's having a birthday to a simple 'Hi'!  (Did YOU miss out on this cool class??  Sign Up and RSVP for my upcoming classes - join in on the fun!)

Create a cute and easy card with a 3" card created from a sheet of 12" Whisper White card stock.  I love that one sheet of 12" card stock will give you 8 cards (great for when you aren't using it to scrapbook).

 

The Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper makes for a whimsical background with it's bright colors and soft feel.  Stamp this Daisy, Bee and Hello, Spring sentiment from the Springtime Hello stamp set (both of these are in the Occasions 'Let's Celebrate' catalog).  This Jet Black Stazon ink gives a sharp impression to these pretty stamps. 

 

Using the Aqua Painter in the Gumball Green In-Color (and soon to go away - so grab yours NOW) stamp pad and highlight the leaves and stem.  This watercolor look to this bold line stamp softens the stamp while holding the image true.  The Aqua Painter has a fine tip and can color great details like this. 

 

Color the bumble bee and daisy with Daffodil Delight ink from the stamp pad and then the centers with the Tangerine Tango stamp pad.  This creates a color coordinated and festive Spring feel.

I love our Taffeta Ribbon (really - all ribbon - much like paper I stock up, hoard and revel in it).  Here the Daffodil Delight Taffeta Ribbon is sadly, retired!!  Wrapping this tailored ribbon around the stamped and colored image is easy with our Glue Dots!  They hold the ribbon to the back.  I like to do a separate bow so that I can work it into the perfect shape.  I then use another Glue Dot to adhere it to the front - this makes for perfect placement, too!  A delicate card like this with it's pretty delicate images looks great with a fine ribbon like this - perfectly balancing the card.
