Today I have a card I made using the Just Because Cards cartridge and some FABULOUS American Crafts paper. I was having a bad day the other day when I made this, so I needed a little bit of a pick up. This paper and this cute little owl did the trick!
I cut him at 9 1/4". However, I cut his shadow at 9" and another at 8 3/4". They layered beautifully. I just hate the fat shadows, which unfortunately this cartridge does....BUT I figured out that in most cases you can cut the shadow smaller and it will work. Gotta love it when stuff like that happens!!
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
Have a wonderful day!!

Awww the owl is just so cute!! I agree on the fat shadow thing. I prefer a tiny shadow too, so it's goot to know that cutting it smaller works for this cart :)
Hope you are having a better day today :)
Very cute card. Owls having a special memory for me and my now 18yr old son. Glad to hear about the shadow cutting. Can't wait to get this cart. TFS
Cute card! Thanks for sharing the idea of multiple layers for shadowing.
Yeah, this card will pick anyone up. I made an owl card the other day and left the sentiment. "Have a hoot..." is too cute. I will be adding that to mine (;
THIS WOULD BE A GOOD MALE-TYPE CARD. THIS IS A DEFINITELY MUST HAVE ON MY LIST OF WANTS. CAN'T BELIEVE I AM THE 4TH TO POST, GUESS EVERYBODY IS BUSY WITH EASTER. HOPPY EASTER!

How cute is that owl?? I love how he is winking! I just got this cart yesterday, so I can't wait to try this card. And that tip about the shadow is VERY helpful, since I don't like a fat shadow either :)
Cute card. I may have to get that stamp to use with my Paisley cartridge owl.
The owl is adorable!Thanks for sharing your ideas and "HAPPY EASTER!"
very cute
CUTE! The card is simple and charming.
Very cute! Love the ribbon and bling too.
TFS.
I agree that card would pick anyones day up. I have trouble with shadowing. I try and cut the shadow the same size as the object. Guess I should up the shadow size by 1/2 inch.
Thank you
