Meet the Moon Family
OK I have the first peek at ourPapertrey Ink countdown AND My Timeless Templates ©
All I can say is I am just over the moon for today’s post!! I hope you will be too.
That is a HUGE hint 😀
The stamp set I am peeking today is from a new sentiment set called Handwritten Notes. It has handwritten sentiments from EACH design team member.
I am sharing one of MY contributions of the sentiment set –>”I’m over the moon”
If you read my blog you know I say this A LOT. I think it comes from my watching the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” a million times with my mom, since I was a little girl. When Mary gives George the picture of him lassoing the moon for her. I loved that.
Anyway-its a cute set, that we all hope you will enjoy.
Now comes my project!!!

When I think of “moon’s” I also think OWLS! I don’t know why I just do.
Anyway, Amber came home from school the other day with a paper-bag owl project that was just the cutest thing ever!! I fell in love with it. (You will see the owl in the video :D) When looking at it I thought “How can I make my own version of this cute owl?”
Well, wouldn’t you know I was ALSO working on my newest My Timeless Template © peeks for this week when I “saw” it!! My Rounded Wrap Up! boxlet would be PERFECT! So I went to work.
Now this template will be releases on the 15th. It’s a super cute and versatile template.
If you are new to the templates you may want to watch THIS VIDEO. It takes you through the HOW TO on how the templates work.
Details about the TEMPLATE itself will be provided with tomorrows post. Today I want to focus on the step by step of this project.
Meet the Moon Family!
There is Owlette the “mommy”-named by Amber. Whootie-the “daddy” named by Alexa
and little baby Owlivia named by me (and Noah approved)
Once upon a time there was a little pink owl named Owlette Branch. She was lonely and needed someone to love.
One moon lit night, in her favorite Oak tree, she met a stunning mate name Whootie Moon!
They shared some mice for dinner, and have been together ever since.
They were just “over the moon” for each-other!
They fell in love, and before you know it, one starlit night, then came Owlivia.
They are such a happy little family!
They bring smiles and treats where ever they go!
Now for some detail photos of Owlette Moon

DIRECTIONS (for those who can’t view the video)
BODY
Print your Rounded Wrap Up! ©on dark chocolate cardstock.
Cut score and assemble per instructions. Set aside
On copy paper print the Rounded wrap up again. You will cut out JUST the front portion of the template onto sweet blush cardstock. This creates your owl body.
Stamp the scallop border pattern from Border Basics: Retro in dark chocolate ink x2, onto belly, and again on 2 of the punched 2 inch round circles. Color with markers.
Stamp sentiment from hand written notes-under belly using dark chocolate ink.
Stamp choice of other border pattern on sides of box to create head/face. Color as desired
EYES / BEAK
Stamp circle from border set onto 3/4 white circles.
Layer near bottom of dark chocolate 1 inch circle.
Cut/punch 1 inch circle from sweet blush. Cut in half. Draw on lid and eyelashes with marker. Layer on eye lids with dimensionals.
For beak use photo corner punch from lemon tart cardstock. Layer onto face with dimensional, then layer on eyes.
Apply heart punched from Berry Sorbet cardstock to top of head, between eyes.
FEET
Use scallops or flowers for feet. Score bottoms so they bend forward, and layer behind owl body. Adhere body to Rounded Wrap Up! © box template.
WINGS
Layer 2 inch stamped circles (that you stamped/colored in steps above)onto dark chocolate giga scallop circles.
Score from between scallops to other side, and adhere stamped pieces to center.
Adhere to sides of Rounded Wrap Up! ©
Now fill with choice of candy or other treat! Use paper clip or item of choice to hold top closed (if you choose)!
So there you have it!!
This takes about 25 minutes to make, but that is for a tutorial!! If you go and mass produce these Im sure its much quicker with practice. My 3 came together in well under an hour.
That is HOW you make my Owlette!!!
This is the “boy” version–> Whootie done in green for my son Noah.
He loves green and told me that was what I had to use for his owlette treat holder! He actually thought this was a parakeet! LOL! I guess it COULD be!! I also see making bunnies, and chicks with the box template 😀
Now don’t think this template is JUST for character boxes! Oh! NO!! So much more to come. Just wait and see what the peeks bring OK. This was just one of those “ideas” that popped into my head. This would be a super cute party project for kids even. Its really that easy! You just pre-stamp it. They can color and assemble-maybe?
I love to hear your thoughts on today’s post and the template peek!
Thank you for reading.
Don’t forget to check in with Nichole and see what she has to share, as well as other creative clicks for today.
Thanks for all the kind words and support!
Owl Hugs from the Moon Family!!

This is super cute and you make it all look so easy to do….I love your tutorials….it’s like having my own personal teacher helping me!! Thanks for all your hard work and especially having an imagination to think of different ways to use our stamps and punches. We can really get our money’s worth being able to use them for so many different things that we would have never thought of!!

PaperTrey has stalled – It doesnt show anything under ‘order status’ Can you help please? It was ordered on 22 Jan. I want to play with my timeless templates!!!! Beck
I don’t tell people that I think something is cute unless I really like it. I think to many people just say that is cute and don’t mean it. But THIS IS SO CUTE. You did a great job. Thank you for posting it.
What a hoot!!! Wonderful and to have a little story to accompany the family….just perfect…!
Thiese are adorable! You seem so much more confident in your video too 🙂
Lauren this little owl box is soooo cute!!! Can’t wait to see what else you do with this template and look forward to the peek of the next release. I love your Timeless templates they make projects so easy, no measuring and turn out perfect every time. For those of us aging the money you save on wasted paper from goof-ups soon pays for the template. TFS Ann Lind
BRILLIANT!

Oh Lauren! ADORABLE! I said it before when the owl stamp set was released from Papertrey and I’ll say it now….Oh how I WISH my grandmother was still alive so I could make her all sorts of cute owl things!! She LOVED owls and collected EVERYTHING owl…how adorable would this have been to fill with candy for her?!? I may just have to make one myself and keep it in my stamp room to remind me of her! Thanks Lauren!!
