Shrinky Dink Anyone? – Craft Gossip

ribbon metal Think back on the fun projects you might have done as a kid, before you felt the need for fancy materials and when the possibility of something shrinking in the oven was totally exciting. I remember lots of Smurf Shrinky Dink projects. Well now it doesn’t need to be just for kids.

I love owls and I love Winnie the Pooh so of course I’m totally in love with this wonderful birthday card that features the character of Owl from the Hundred Acre Woods! Recently the classic version of Pooh came into public domain so I’ve been seeing lots of companies producing wonderful Winnie the Pooh paper crafting products like stamps, dies and pattern papers.

This darling card design has a dry embossed number background with mats of green cardstock. The main image of Owl holding colorful banners sitting among branches were all die cut from colored cardstocks. The background of blues and greens was created with ink blending using Distress Oxide Inks and there’s also a stamped sentiment.

You can find detailed step by step directions for making this charming birthday card over at the Spellbinders blog.
