When I first saw the "Knock, knock..." sentiment in the new Branching Out Coordinates set, I just KNEW I had to make a card with it! You see, my five year old son has just "gotten" the concept of jokes...and "Knock, knock" jokes are his absolute favorite (and what I've been hearing constantly for the last month LOL!)
When I sat down to make this card, I kept looking at the cuuuuuute owl (I just love his sweet face!), and the idea for this card (beyond the knock, knock part) hit me! I embossed the tree trunk and paper pieced the swirly top (from the Branching Out set) with the My Mind's Eye paper that is included in the Easter Key Ingredients Kit. I then cut around part of the tree top so that it would open....yes, you guessed it...to reveal that sweet owl (from the Branching Out Coordinates)!

I used the little flower from the Branching Out Coordinates set to decorate the outside as well as the inside, complete with rhinestone centers (I used the mini rhinestones from Taylor's Tiny Twinkles).
I hope I was able to bring a smile to your face today!
Thanks for stopping by,
Laurie
