• Open the flap of the envelope, place it on a piece of red flower paper and draw around the flap and sides. Cut it out and trim the sides of the paper so that it is slightly narrow than the envelope. Round the top.
• Insert the patterned paper into the envelope and slide it down until it sits just under the glued section. Fix it with double-sided tape. Score along the fold at the bottom of the flap. Punch two 2.5cm circles from red floral paper and stick either side of the pointed end of the flap.
• Stamp the top part of the owl in the bottom left corner of the front of the envelope. Colour it in and write 'Hoot! Hoot!' above.
• Glue a 12cm square of purple patterned paper to a 13cm square blank. Layer an 8cm square of purple paper onto a slightly larger yellow paper panel. Glue this diagonally to the centre of the card.
• Stamp owl images onto blue, yellow and red paper with dark blue ink. Cut out elements of each image and glue together to make a multicoloured motif. Fix to the centre of the card.
• Stamp out a 'Thinking of yoo-hoo!' sentiment onto yellow paper. Trim and layer onto red paper before placing along the bottom of the card. Add four small purple gems to the diagonal corners of the card.
• Cut a 20cm square of plain card and glue a 15cm square of yellow patterned paper to the top right corner. Cut 5cm squares of red and blue paper and 2.5cm by 5cm rectangles of purple. Arrange these around the bottom and left sides of the yellow section.
• Crop a photograph as desired and matt onto red paper, trimming to leave a 5mm border all round. Place the picture towards the bottom left of the yellow square.
• Punch or cut cut several flower and flourish shapes from different patterned papers. Arrange these around the picture, overlapping the petals and avoiding placing the same colours on top of each other.
• Stamp an owl image onto yellow paper and use felt tip pens to colour the image with bright shades.
• Cut the owl out with sharp scissors and mount onto a layered tag, threaded with baker's twine.
