Flowering Zinnias, Comforting Thoughts & Some of My Favorite Online Exclusives

I love the Simply Zinnia Suite Collection! (*The sequins are currently on backorder; however, everything else in the collection is available at this time.) The Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper is bursting in beautifully bright tones! I couldn’t decide which pattern to use for today’s project so I created three different color combos to showcase these vibrant colors. I used a sentiment from the Simply Zinnias Stamp Set on the inside. It is perfect for these zinnia seed packet holders.

This is a great card/gift to send when you want to let someone know you are thinking of them. It would be perfect for Mother’s Day, Easter, Birthdays, or when someone is sick or going through a difficult time.

Here’s a look at the Simply Zinnia Bundle and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper:

The Comforting Thoughts Stamp Set is another “must have” in my opinion. This sentiment-only stamp set includes messages of love and support for people who are going through hard times. I will use this stamp set for cards for my sister who is battling cancer. It is perfect for get-well cards, sympathy cards, or thinking of you cards. We all have times that are harder than others, and a heartfelt card with a loving sentiment and personalized message can show someone they are not alone.

Happy Sheep Treat Holder

My daughter is home from college for Spring Break and I’m doing the happy dance!

We had a wonderful weekend!  We had hoped to see the cherry blossoms in D.C.; however, the storm last week made that a bust! So instead we spent the day in Virginia visiting Mount Vernon. (I’ve included some photos from our day at the end of this post.) George Washington may have been right when he said, “No estate in United America is more pleasantly situated than this…” My inspiration for today’s project is from the sheep in this photo I took as we enjoyed a beautiful day touring George Washington’s estate.

I bought some Lindt chocolate sheep at the grocery store awhile ago and knew I wanted to make something with them. There’s nothing like enjoying the simple pleasures of nature to inspire you to keep it simple. So that is just what I did!

img_0442

My sheep holders are made from a 4 x 2 1/4 piece of Cucumber Crush cardstock.  I scored it at 1/2, 1 3/4, 2 1/4, 3 1/2.  I used the smallest oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits to cut the hole for the sheep.  I stamped some grass using the Basket Bunch Stamp Set and Cucumber Crush ink.  I folded along the score lines and adhered it with Tear & Tape. I cut the grass using the Basket builder Framelits Dies and adhered that to the back with Tear & Tape. I added some crinkled paper around the sheep. Quick & easy!

These are simply adorable and would make great table favors for Spring or Easter. When my family gets together for the holidays there are 22 or more sitting down to dinner. These treat holders are easy to mass produce.  Instead of scoring each piece individually, start with a piece of 8 x 11 cardstock and use the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. With the 8″ side across the top, score at 1/2, 1 3/4, 2 1/4, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 5 3/4, 6 1/4, 7 1/2.  Then cut it in half at 4″.  You will have 2 strips measuring 4 x 11.  Cut each strip at 2 1/4. You will end up with 8 holders from 1 sheet of cardstock.  I love making little treats like these!

P.S. One of my sheep has strayed…I am hoping it will brighten the day of one of my blog readers (AKA The Sheep Herder) who recently had knee surgery. I’m hoping Mary Ann has a speedy recovery and will be doing the happy dance just like the sheep in the video!
