Owl Gift Bag

You can never have too much happy!  I've had a happy day:  lunch with Dennis, creating new things, seeing Lauren's pictures of her new puppy, Percival.  I hope you've had a happy day!

This owl project makes me happy, too:   It's cute.  It's easy.  It's fast.  It's fun.   It's all about how to get this from this:

Need a gift bag quick?  Use an envelope to make it.

Need a tag quick?  

Use a cute store bought card and make it even cuter!  I just added the Happy tag on the front and a cute sentiment inside.  It's kind of cool that it's a tag and still a card.

The last thing is a felt flower embellishment just to make it even better.

A little bit of washi to dress up the clothespin and some twine loops:

I like to use a thick glue, like Aleene's.  

Cut and layer some felt flowers.

I used Petals and Posies Dies from Reverse Confetti.

I leave you with more sweetness (this is Percival):

Have a great week!

Hip Hip WHOOray + Look What I Found!

Hip Hip Whooray!!  That's what I was yelling out, dancing around with my camera.  Okay, well maybe not the WHOO part, but definitely HOORAY!  Remember on the last post, I lamented my loss of quite a few files on my computer and especially the card I made for Suzanne with a photo of her aunt's garden?  Guess what I found on my camera???   THAT card!!  Can you believe it?  Somehow I didn't get it deleted off!  Hip Hip Hooray!

I'm so glad I found it!  This card was so fun to make - I put down a watercolor background, in pinks and yellow.

Then dressed it up with some of my favorite things:  ribbon, button, butterfly, doily...

washy tape and fancy borders...  I'm still doing a happy dance!

Now to the WHOOray part...

I put together an owl kit awhile back, sold out, and found another set of owl cards.  

This one is a little different - she's got those cut glasses and 

she's got a bit of flair!

If you're interested in an owl kit, I have a very small number in my etsy store.  The kits even come with all the inside packaging.  You just need adhesive and the goodies for inside the packaging!

Edited to add:  Owl kits are sold out.  Thank you!

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Whooo's Choux Box

Whooo's Choux Box?  Well, if you like, it could be yours!   Here's the second installment in happy mail choux boxes!   (That would be pronounced shoo.)  It is a darling owl gift bag and here's what you get:

This would be perfect for Teacher Appreciation or a friend's birthday.  You get two tags to choose between for the gift bag:  Whooo's a terrific teacher and Whooo's having a birthday.   Owl-lovers will adore it and so will those that just love cute!  

The back is perfect for a child to write a personal note to a special teacher or you to write to a friend.  

The kit even comes with a glassine bag (perfect for a gift card or small gift) closed with a darling felt owl clothespin. It fits in the box with plenty of space to add some other goodies.

All you need is glue - you get everything else!  A limited number of Whooo's Choux Box Kits are listed in my etsy shop.  

Thank you for stopping by!
