Growing in Unity Wednesday!~

It's a Wonderful Wednesday with Growing in Unity!

Don't forget about the a.m.a.z.i.n.g. sale that Unity Stamp Co has going on right now...

Angela turned 39, so you get....39% off!

ANG39 is the code!

and it's going on till this coming Saturday!

Woohoo, thank you Unity and Angela!

I can't believe that we are half way through this week already! 

Where does the time fly?

Speaking of flying, I have a couple of owls to show you today.

Be warned....lots of pictures below!

This little owl is our itty bitty {ippity} "Wise Guy".

Doesn't he look like a wise guy with those glazed-over eyes? 

These projects are both 'matchbooks' that I made, and I paper pieced the owls.  The brown one on the left is a jotter memo pad with tear off sheets; the blue one on the right is a gift card holder (inside photo's below).

Here's a close-up of the jotter note pad using Spellbinders Labels Four, SU papers, cardstock, ribbon, button and twine.

You can see that I popped up the owl and pieces for some dimension.  I also flipped the matchbook so that you tuck in the flap at the top (under the twine):

Inside view here using Unity "Owl Journal Box".  

I inserted about 12 pages with this stamped on every page...such a ca-ute stamp!

Check this out...I perforated each page so that I could tear them out of the jotter...see those perforated lines? I made them with my SU Cutter Kit (perforate, cut, score, or distress your paper), which I've had for such a long time. Then I punched holes and tied them with twine under the flap.  

Lookie at those cute owls!!

Heres is a close-up of the gift card holder using Spellbinders Labels Four, SU papers and cardstock; misc seam binding; TH mini stapler; Imaginisce i-rock tool and pearls. 

In this picture you can see that the owl is popped up also and the flap tucks in nicely, just like a matchbook. 

Inside view of the gift card holder...you can slip the gift card right under the ribbon and it doesn't move. Since the idea of this is a matchbook, I doubled the c/s, cut 5 slits (to fit one word each of the sentiment) and glued the words on those slits; then added a little doodling; do they look like matches?  You can also write something on these strips, or on the space in back of the gift card...use your imagination. 

So this is the last picture of the inside of both projects.  

The jotter book is approximately 4 1/2" x 3 3/4", 

and the gift card holder is approximately 3 1/2" x 3"...

I just cut out the sizes to what I wanted them to be.

Okay, I know, I had too many pictures today! I just had to show you the details! *smile*
