Cute little owl pillow boxes

There is a site called www.kerryspapercrafts.com that has the cutest craft ideas!  I don't know if this was her idea originally, but I saw it and fell in love.  I decided to try to put some together on my own.  I first picked up the pillow box file from SVGcuts.com- the Christmas Gift Bags and Boxes collection has the pillow box.  I then used the basic shape files in SCAL2 to cut out the circles for the feathers and eyes, the ovals for the wings, and 3 heart shapes for the feet and beak. For the beak I cut the heart in half.  I used rhinestones that match the paper for the twinkle in the eyes.  My 10 and 5 year old snapped them up!!  They are now adorning their 3D names on their bedroom walls!  I {heart} them so much!!

Create a Critter Owl Card

"it's your Birthday!"  The owl and branches are cut at 3".  The owl and one set of leaves are pop-dotted.
I cut the "hoot" out at real dial size set at 1".  I cut HOORAY using SCAL and the arial font, welded together.  I used the cuttlebug to emboss the leaves with divine swirls and the phrase was embossed with dots.  I inked all the edges and added the sparkly blue ribbon to match the owl.  I used my phone to take the pic, so the colors aren't as vivid as the actual card.

"3D little orange pumpkin" challenge from svgcuts.com

Mary and Leo over at SVGcuts.com have an amazing new kit available!!  It's the "Pick a Pumpkin" set.  I just LOVE the 3D stuff and this one is putting me in the mood for Fall! The sunflower actually came from their Fall Harvest set. This pumpkin is the "little orange pumpkin" from the kit which is supposed to be just 4" tall, I believe.  I decided, because it has less gluing involved than the big pumpkin, to enlarge it and cut it on 24" paper.  So, mine turned out to be 7" tall.
