Paper Owl Punch Art:

Start by cutting two 2 ½-inch circles from different colored card stock. As an option, you can add texture to one circle using an embossing folder and the Big Shot.

Place one circle halfway over the other and trim the excess using a 2 ½-inch cutter. Cut a small half-circle at the top with the 1-inch paper punch to form owl ears.

For the eyes, cut two 1-inch circles and glue on googly eyes.

For the feet, cut 2 of the flowers with the Flower Punch, and glue them to the base of the body.

For the beak, trim a flower shape, glue it behind the eyes, and then attach it to the body.

When the owl is completely assembled he is so cute!

I ended up making lots of paper owls because I am making several sticky note holders for gifts.

Post-It Note Holder:

Begin by cutting a sheet of card stock into strips that measure 3 ½ x 8 ½ inches. This will be the base paper of the Post-it Note Holder.

Score the rectangle at 3 ½, 4 and 4 ½ inches. At ¾ inch in from each side, cut a straight line across the score lines. This notch is for the pen holder.

On the outer edges fold inward and fold outward on the center score marks.

You may notice that one-half is slightly longer than the other half. This is not a mistake, it is supposed to be that way.

Put glue on the outer pieces on the bottom of the fold and adhere it to the side of the piece of paper that is just a bit longer.

It should look like this when folded over and glued in place.

Assembly:

Adhere the Post-It note inside the holder, by applying adhesive to the back of the sticky notes.

Use a stamp with a cute owl saying, and stamp the design onto the top flap of the holder.

Apply glue to the back of the paper owl, and press that onto the holder, as well.

When it is all put together it will look like this!

I made a lot of these fun Post-it Note Holders to give to my kid's teachers, and to my coworkers for Valentine's Day. They turned out so cute!
