Feeling Sheepish?

I have been this weekend! I have making these delightful little 'Sian The Sheep' (a local Welsh sheep, of course!) card sets. Arn't they cute? Each box contains a set of four cards with envelopes and four matching gift tags.
To make your own, you will need the following Stampin' Up punches:
body: scallop circle extra large,
head: owl and cut off the feet,
hair: boho blossoms - the middle size flower,
legs: modern label and cut vertically into three bits use the centre for front legs and sides for back legs
eyes: Itty Bitty circle for the white part and use the small circles from your owl punch for the inner eyes.
The background is made using the Scallop Edge Border punch along green card and then sticking it onto a square of blue card.
Simple, quick and a great way to use up leftovers!

Bags of Fun!

Over the last week or so, I have been busy making lots of these lovely little bags (thanks Luan for the pattern!).

Each one is made from a sheet of A4 card and there is no cutting involved at all!

I think they are lovely and are such a versatile design that they can be used for so many things and in so many ways:

• Put a handle of ribbon or card on to make it into a bag.



• Leave a handle off, so that it is more like a box.



• Use as a cover for a clear acetate bag of chocolates.



• Use to gift wrap jewellery, mini bottles of toiletries or other gifts.



• Fill with little matching notecards for a complete handmade set of cards.

We will be making one of these bags at the July cardmaking workshops in Caerphilly, so if you fancy having a go, you know where to come!

Sunny Garden

This wonderful weather has inspired me to look out my pretty Sunny Garden papers. I love the cheerful designs of this collection and as I'm currently enjoying the sunshine in my own garden, I came up with this card which fits right with my mood.

I also used:
Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Daffodil Yellow cardstock;
Eyelet Border, Boho Blossoms, Large Oval, Scallop Oval and Two-Step Bird punches;
stamps from the Oval All and Punch Pot Pourri sets.
