Cottage Cutz Holiday Owls Tutorial

Today I'm going to show you how I put together a cute 

Cottage Cutz die called Holiday Owls.

There are lots of pieces to this die so I just die cut it once

with white cardstock. 

 After I passed it through my Vagabond I put 

2 all-over-sticky Post-It notes on it to hold the pieces in place.

Here I turned it over and made sure all the pieces were in place.

Next I colored it with my Copic markers.  Another option is to die

cut sections of it with different colored card stock instead of coloring it.

Here I started gluing the owl pieces together and placing

them with repositionable adhesive on my die cut square.

TIP: glue the feet to the branch and not the owls.

They are too small to glue to the owls.

Here are 2 finished pieces.  For the eyes I used several things.

Black nailheads for the largest owl, Black Glaze pen and 2mm

pearls for the smaller owls. Other enhancements are a clear

glaze pen for the berries and beaks and Nuvo White Blizzard

for glitter on the holly leaves, stocking tops and hat fuzzy areas.

Inside I finished up the card with Impression Obsession's 

Merry Christmas stamp.

Hope you enjoyed this and have a great week!
