My sweet little grandniece will be celebrating her second birthday next week. You may recall that she had open heart surgery earlier this year (here’s a previous post) and recovered beautifully! All the more reason to celebrate! She’s a huge fan of owls, so “who” better to offer a birthday wish!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- I used Stampin’ Up! Core-dinations Card Stock in Early Espresso (also available in Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green) and embossed it using the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Both products are new in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.
- If you are ordering Core-dinations Card Stock, don’t forget the Stampin’ Sanding System (129367, $3.95) and Core-dinations Dust Buddy (129366, $2.50) for clean-up.
- The sweet strip of More Mustard gingham is from the Stampin’ Up! Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper. Patterns below.
- The “party hat” is a shortened version of a shape initially created with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch.

Hello Mary: This card is so beautiful and so cute too. Your little Lily Grace will love it. I’m very happy she is doing so well so I’m sure this Birthday celebration will indeed be very special.
Wish her a Happy Birthday from all of us!!
Maria.
Lily Grace is named after my grandmother Lily Jane (her great, great grandmother). I love the names from that era!
Very cute. Thanks for sharing.
The wise ole owl against the woodgrain is so effective. I love your use of bright/neutral colors, each playing off the other. Lily Grace will sure “give a hoot” for this card. I’ll just bet you are a favorite great aunt!!
Thank God that medical expertise and God’s healing has allowed you to enjoy the gift of Lily Grace.
Sweet and clever card, Mary! So pleased to hear Lily Grace is doing well! She sure is a sweety!
This is so cute Mary,love it! Love all of those textures together.
Super cute and fun! She will love it.
Oh this is DARLING!!! These rich colors just make every element POP!!!
The Core’dinations paper is so perfect with the Woodgrain embossing folder! The cute owl peeking out of the tree is to die for! You did it again- a perfectly fabulous card! TFS!
Great grandma even. Lol
Lovely card again Mary, lovely name too, my grand grandma was called Lily Grace. 😀
Super Sweet card for a sweet Lily Grace. Wishing this little cutie a very happy 2nd birthday! Thanks for sharing your card and an update on Lily Grace.
That’s great to hear she’s well! And no one makes an owl more adorable than you Mary! Love him peeking out of this “tree”! Stampin’ Up! had the most amazing paper crafting products!
Adorable card, Mary. Give Lilly a hug for her supporter in VA!
