Owl shaped cards

Avery and Lincoln (my niece and nephew) are turning 1 and my SIL is giving them an owl themed birthday party this weekend.  The little owl invitations my SIL bought were so cute and  sparked an idea for me.  I decided to draw up an owl shape and turn it into a card.  I customized each owl to suit the birthday girl and boy.  The designs are simple but they still took me a long time to complete and then I had to go and draw eyelashes and wings and that took more time. Both kids are 100% worth it.

 Lincoln's owl is totally him--cute with big blue eyes.  Avery's owl is pretty in pink and, just like Avery, she has beautiful light blue eyes and always wears some type of adorable hair accesory.

I'm sharing my files with you in case you get an urge to make an owl shaped card.  I do ask that you read the terms of use included with the files.

There are no instructions but it's pretty easy to put together and fits in a standard A2 size envelope.

I made the back this way so that I didn't have to deal with the card folding at the ears of the owl.  This way, the front shape remains exactly as I designed it.

When you go to add the back part of the card to the decorated front, line up the bottom(the feet) and the front and back will match up perfectly. I used scor-tape to adhere the back piece.

I also designed a mat for the inside in case you want to use a dark card base like I did.

Have a wonderful day!
