While at
Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago, I saw these cute felt owls in the Christmas section for the tiny trees. I decided I wanted to make simple woodland Christmas tags with them to go with my woodland Christmas theme for my nephew.
First I choose some cardstock from my stash (sorry, don't know who this paper is by) and made it into a tag. I didn't die cut the tag I just folded the cardstock over (so the tag would be sturdier and double sided), cut angles at the top and punched a hole for the string. Then I used my scalloped scissors to add the detail at the bottom of the tag; inked the edges with brown ink and had my simple base for my owl tags. They are about 3 x 5 inches big.
Next, I went out into the yard and found a stick. I cut it to length and added some fake snow.
Then it was time to add the owls.
Added a layered and inked banner under the branch (had to add a few gems to the banner -- it is for Christmas after all). Made a paper bow with a die cut from
The Stamps of Life by Stephanie Barnard Designs, inked it's edges and added it to the top. Cut and inked some circles to use for the To and Froms. Added a Holly sticker from Hobby Lobby. And tied it up with some bakers twine.
There were 6 owls in the pack, but I only made 4 tags like these and saved the other 2 owls for further inspiration.
