Owl Punch Ideas

Other Birds

Other than the owl, the Stampin' Up owl punch can be used to create other types of birds, such as penguins or chicks. Create other birds by carefully cutting away the pointed ears to follow the natural curve of the body. Leave the feet in place at the bottom and use the circles in the punch to create the eyes. Use the wing portion of the punch as you normally would unless you want to draw smaller wings, like those for a chick, when you decorate. Place the tiny heart that is included in the punch so the point is pointed downward and the rounded top is tucked under the eyes. Glue the pieces together and decorate them with texture stamps or colored pencils.

Halloween Characters

Create Halloween characters with the body portion of the owl punch. Flip the punch upside down so that the feet of the owl stick up. Leave them in place to use for spooky alien antennas or shear the feet off to create the rounded head of a ghost. Leave the punched body section right-side up and remove the feet to create the body of a bat. Use the owl's eyes on the characters. Cut the wing section of the punch in half to create two separate wings for a bat. Glue the paper pieces in place and add a mouth or nose to each character with colored pencil or hand-cut paper shapes when you decorate them.

Marine Life

Create squids, jellyfish and octopuses with the owl punch. Cut the feet away from the bottom of the body portion and turn the body upside down to make the dome-shaped bodies of these sea creatures. Cut your own tentacles from the same color of paper. Add the owl's eyes to finish the faces and glue all of the pieces together. Decorate the aquatic characters with textured stamps, rubbed ink or colored pencils.

Garden Bugs and Flowers

Create flowers, bees and ladybugs with the owl punch body shape. To create the bloom of a tulip, cut the feet from the bottom of the punched body. Create a stem with a strip of green paper and cut the wing section in half to create two green leaves for the stem. Glue the body shape over the top of the strip so that the owl's ears look like the petals of a tulip. Cut off the ears and legs to make the bodies of bees and ladybugs. Add antennas to them with tiny strips of black paper and hand-cut wings for the bee. Use the circles that are for the owl's eyes to create eyes and black spots for the ladybug. Decorate and add detail with ink or colored pencils.

Can you tell my "goblins" are Zorro, a ghost and a devil. I used the Scallop Edge, Scallop oval and Large oval punches. I added the Soft Suede Polka Dot grosgrain ribbon.

The body is the Ornament Punch.  The wings are made using the wings from the Two-Step Bird Punch.  The beak is the heart in the Two-Step Owl punch.  We used the butterfly punch for the lighter parts of the body.  And the feet are a circle cut in half.  I MEANT to trim that to toes, but forgot to before mounting it. 

I punched a limb/leaf from the Two-Step Bird punch for our little fellow to "sit" on.

I used 6" Lollipop Sticks or you can also make them with large Paperclips. I used the Owl Punch along with the Petite Pennant Builder Punch and I made the broom using a RETIRED Paper Piecing Punch. Click here to head over to my Chic n Scratch Live! website to watch the video tutorial.

First the parts:

Here is how you alter the punch parts:

Cut the owl foot off to become the moustacheOne owl breast - cut at widest point to become the hatOne cut in half vertically to become his suit coatThe gray one shortened at the bottom to become his vestRed heart trimmed "under" the bumps to become the bow tie

Cut the "spare" flesh circle down to become the neck - you don't REALLY see it but you need it to hold him together.

He can be a little taller and wider depending on how you glue your parts together. Remember you can "roll up" mini glue dots and still use them on tiny parts (like moustaches and bow ties
