You can tell what I have just watched can't you? MMM And I thought they were quite expensive when you already have card and a cutting machine to do it for you ....
All you need for this is card , kebab stick and your decorations....
Thought you might like this template of the owl inspired by the owl shape on the American Craft Fair papers by Lucy Hootski and drawn by Tara Torrens of Cleo Crafts.
I know we can't cut felt but we could flock cardstock and at least cut all the pages accurately!
This owl is so cute he would look good on a card or a layout

Reason: Amended file
I made this from the wine glass in the template section of RM by welding 8 of them together and TWEAKING the corners. Added the flowers from DT Flowers 2. Hope it is useful for somebody.
Here I am again, being inspired by more trendy things I've seen.
I've started to make wavy edged mini book pages, this is the first. I hope to post more in the coming week.
The lose flowers can be omitted. If you decide to place them on top of the edge, it looks nicer if you bend the petals up slightly first. Maybe layer them with smaller flowers? You can copy, paste and resize the flowers and make as many as you want! Top off with a jewel.
Or you can place a flower inside the page to get a hole cut. Lots of possibilities here!
OK, this mini book started out with the flower edged page, but now it's expanded into ten pages so I've decided to try and post it in chunks.
I'm not sure about how much I can post in one day, I hope I get part one and two in here today, otherwise I'll be back tomorrow.
The picture is only a bad greyscale scan of the actual book, I sure hope you can make it look better than that.
I'm working on some extra bits to decorate it with, I will post that last.
If you want to scale the book smaller or larger, you will have to make sure every page and bit is grouped individually. Then open a blank page in Robo Master and paste everything in there, so you can scale all of it at once. It can be outside the canvas or on top of each other, as long as each item is grouped on it's own. Select all and hold shift, whilst dragging on a corner point. Deselect, then eek out each piece to be able to cut it. Sorry, I don't know of a better way...
Here are the final bits for this project. Part 4 are some extra pieces to decorate with. I've test cut it all, but if there is any problem, please let me know!
I inked the pages up quickly before I scanned in the picture, just so you can see the different layers better.
I am doing project life using my own page protectors, some of which are 6x4 vertical. I designed these cards to fit inside a 6x4 pocket with a border of patterned paper, but they could easily be resized.
These are simple, but my first ever make, thanks to your inspiration on here ladies!
