Owl Card

Post by paddlegal »

Sometimes you just get plain lucky and find a great bargain. I've desired this Sizzix Owl Thinlet die for months but didn't go for it at the $20-$18 I saw it in stores and online. Then last week by pure fluke I saw it on Amazon for $8.50! It was a sign. It's mine now.

I made this birthday card for a woman I do Auquafit with each week.

It's an adorable card. Love the way you have it open. I love owls! I don't think I've ever seen an owl die.

The fox die is equally adorable and had it been $8.99 I would have jumped on it as well. I had to ask myself, how many times would I actually use this die. But then it's an owl for pete's sake. So I had to have it. Plus I was being very self indulgent last week for my birthday. :lol:

Wow! That card is super-cute and amazing! I can appreciate how much care and patience it took to put together, especially if you were using thin dies. I don't get along too well with the thin dies and tend to shy away from them, especially for anything detailed like that.

So nice job! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks Julie. It really isn't difficult to cut. I do use the Big Shot Plus now and i believe it cuts all size dies way better than the older smaller Big Shot.

lalalalalala! Plugging my ears, because I do not need to be made to think that I need another sizzix machine! :lol: I'm on my second big shot, because I jammed up my first one and had to completely break it apart to get my die back out. I don't want to hear that there's a better one out there. But I do have a crap-ton of those thin dies, and I do really like the dies, but I've never had much success with anything thicker than the lightest weight cardstock. And the cuts tend to be pretty uneven, causing me to do a lot of hand-cutting and chiseling. No thanks.
