#SimpleStamping Saturday – Adorable Owls

7 January, 2023 by lizyuille 2 Comments

7 Jan

#SimpleStamping Saturday – Adorable Owls. I hope you are as excited as I am for the return of #SimpleStamping Saturday, the day when I take one basic card design and share 3 ways of making it with you. I start with the most simple and then add extra products and techniques for each of the stepped up versions. Today I am featuring the Adorable Owls Stamp Set, which you could choose FREE if you place an order of at least £45/€60 in my online store.

#SimpleStamping Version

#SimpleStamping Saturday - Adorable Owls - OldStablesCrafts.co.uk

My first version is really simple to make, using one of our Basic White Note Cards, a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad and our first set of Watercolour Pencils. That’s it, nothing more. Of course, because this is a #SimpleStamping Project, I have added some decoration to the front of the envelope, simply stamping part of the owl again.

Stepped Up Version

#SimpleStamping Saturday - Adorable Owls - OldStablesCrafts.co.uk

For my first stepped up version I have added A4 card, a punch (Decorative Circle), some Adhesive Backed Sequins, Stampin Blends and FREE Paper (Dandy Designs, 48 sheets of 12 x 12″ paper), yours to choose if you spend at least £90/€120. I simply layered the paper onto the Tahitian Tide Card Layer before wrapping twine around the layers and tying in a bow. The owl is stamped in Tuxedo Black again, but this time I coloured it with Stampin Blends. The final touch was to punch the owl out using the Decorative Circle Punch, adding it to a Tahitian Tide Punched piece.

Further Stepped Up Version

OK, so I admit I did add rather a lot of extra products for this project. Firstly I die cut the Paper with the Dots & Spots Die. I die cut the owl and the sentiment using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then layered that onto a Tahitian Tide piece die cut with the Layering Circle Dies. The rest of this card is the same as the previous version.

To see how I made the #SimpleStamping Version and to see more of the other two projects, remember you can always watch the Video Tutorial. If you enjoy what you see, why not subscribe to my channel and hit the

    I love it when you make the cards 3 different ways and these are all so cute! I like the stepped up versions usually the best. I like the other options for when I have a get together to make cards and my friends prefer a simpler way of making the card. That blue paper is so beautiful. Thank you for all your lovely ideas!
