Such a Hoot!

The new Stampin' Up! Owl Punch is a total "hoot!"  You can dress him (her) up or down or combine two for a bride and groom (I'm already dreaming how fun this would be with a little tux for the "guy" and pearls for the "gal").  The Owl Punch was a reader favorite when I published Mary's Gotta Have It Top 10!

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

• I have been known to "over analyze" (AKA "obsess") over my purchases--including my wish list for Stampin' Up! products.  I can't believe I hesitated for a second (but ultimately purchased) the Woodland Walk Designer Paper.  It's absolutely smashing in real life.
• This sweet owl seems the epitome of "happiness" sitting on his little branch from the Two Step Extra Large Bird Punch.  He's popped up on a couple Stampin' Dimensionals for added oomph.
• A touch of Tangerine Tango on the heart and horizontal layer really say "zoinks" to me.  I dusted off and used my Crimper, too.  It really deserves more attention than it gets.
• Stampin' Up! Sticky Tape is key to keeping your 3-D projects together, including my Pillow Box.
• I haven't done a Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge (SC289) in ages.  Boy, was it nice to get back in the swing.
