How to Make a Punch Art Owl:

It is so much easier than it looks, I promise 🙂

Step by Step Instructions:

Step One: Gather your tools and supplies! You will need:

both sizes of the old CM heart punches (need hearts in the following sizes: 1-1/2, 1-1/4, 1, 3/4, & 1/4)
the CM small circle punch
the CM large star punch
a heart corner punch
craft tweezers
fine line glue
photo splits
orange cardstock
white cardstock
2 – 4×6 coordinating paper/cardstock scraps. I like to use the double-sided paper from Creative Memories because it coordinates and only takes ONE page to make a ton of owls. 🙂

Step Two: Punch out your punchie parts.

A red paper adorned with punched shapes like hearts, circles, and a star rests on a purple surface. The text beside it reads Punch Art Owl, perfectly capturing the charm of a Heart Owl Valentine Card with detailed sizes and types of shapes punched out.

From the orange paper you will need: the star and a 3/4 inch heart. Cut the heart in half and cut one point off the star for each owl you are making. The orange will go a very long way 🙂 The heart will even come out of the center of the star if you set it up correctly.
From the white you will need two 3/4 inch circles.
From one of your Owl colors you will need: two 1-1/2 inch hearts (body of owl), one 1 inch heart, and one 3/4 inch heart
From the second color you will need: one 1-1/4 inch heart, one 1 inch heart, and the two tiny hearts (actually slightly less than 1/4 inch. I simply used a heart corner rounder and saved the hearts.

Step Three: Start layering your owl. You will need to use the fine line glue and some photo splits to help hold some of the pieces together. For example:

A pair of tweezers delicately holds a small, yellow, adhesive sticker with a rectangular white tab, reminiscent of crafting a charming Valentine card against a vibrant purple background.

You will barely overlap the two pieces of the feet, then if you take a photosplit leaving one side of the protective covering intact and put it on the back side, you can easily attach the feet to the owl body.
