The owls are not what they seem

I've finally succumbed to the sweet, sweet, fully co-ordinating across multiple mediums, forbidden fruit of the dark side...

Stampin' Up! 

My first order arrived this weekend, amongst it the marvellous build-an-owl punch. 

I can't stop making owls, it's addictive.  

Also, flip cards. Flip cards & owls, they are my two top things at the moment.

To make a flip card, you need to measure very carefully two score lines, then run the card base through a die cutting machine with a spellbinder label frame over the score lines. There are Youtube videos which show you how to do it.

Don't worry, the first one you do will turn out rubbish. You'll probably need  to make about 4 or 5 prototypes before you get the hang of the fact that you're not getting any better at this. 

Then what you need to do is you need to throw all your prototypes in the bin & buy the Sizzix Flip-it Framelit Die, which cuts & scores your card in all the right places. Another die cuts the inset papers that cover the card base. Genius. 

*Goes off to make more owl-based flip cards, quietly & without drama*
