I love the new Big Shot die cutting machine and especially the top note die, there are so many fun things to do with it. This owl made a great treat holder at Halloween but is as cute as a Christmas owl. I created this project for my KSU group of ladies because KSU mascot is an owl.
This box could be the perfect way to deliver cookies or treats to your neighbors. The Santa hat is created with the large tag punch, half of a scallop punch and one of the flowers from Boho flower punch.
The owl is the scallops die, top note die folded in half, a scallop punch, one petal from the 5 petal flower punch (beak), the eyes are 1" circles full and the close to cocoa is cut in half, the black centers are a 3/4" circle punch the feet are another flower from the Boho flower punch. The branch is free hand and the leaf stamp is in the Flower Fancy stamp set. I rolled the box with the holly roller. The saying is printed on cardstock from my computer and then punched with tag punch and stamped with an owl from the Owl together stamp set.
To create the box score a 12x12 piece of CS 3" from opposite sides and 41/2 on the two remaining opposites sides. Glue together and I used large brad accents to hold the 1x12 handle in place.
I LOVE this!!! It actually makes me want to start looking into the big shot. Very cute Wendy!!!
