Stamp Review Crew: Have a Hoot

 Welcome to the Stamp Review Crew blog hop!  Every two weeks the crew hosts a blog hop featuring a new stamp set and this time we have a cutie!

Besides really liking the adorable owls, one of the things that attracted me to this set was the coordinating dies.  I really like that the three openings are cut with one die.  I used that die to make a 3D  free standing display for Halloween.  

I have a video of how to make this style of display which can be found HERE.

These little owls are just so fun!  The silly expressions on the faces are a hoot!

The Metallic Mesh Ribbon is great for a bit of background texture.

Iron-On Vinyl for Papercrafting Video Tutorial

I did a tutorial for Splitcoast Stampers about using clear Iron-On Vinyl for paper crafts.  The usual use for the vinyl is covering fabric to make tote bags or zipper bags.  As I started experimenting I found that it is great for paper too!   The vinyl not only preserves the project it also adds a nice luster to the paper and colors are more vibrant.   I really love how the vinyl made the alcohol marker coloring really pop.  After spending time carefully applying markers it is nice to know the artwork will be preserved and look lovely!

The tutorial shows how to make this pretty notebook
