We will be having an egg decorating/Easter party this weekend.
I sat down and came up with these invitations.
I made the sheep first. Then ran out of time to be too creative. So, I just glued the sheep on to a library card pocket. Inside I stamped the "You are Invited" on to white cardstock, cut them out, then placed them inside the pocket.
To make the sheep:
Out of white cardstock cut:
2 large scalloped ovals--these will be the body
two small ovals--ears
one small scalloped oval-hair
four strips of paper about 1/2" wide by 2" long These will be the legs.
Out of Black (or whatever color) CS cut the hat, 4 boots and bandanna (this is a Sizzix doll die I've had for years) Maybe something like this is avail. on one of the cricut doll carts.?
I applied pink chalk to the insides of the ears and on the cheeks. I stamped the face (again very old Provo Craft Stamp set). The face could easily be drawn on.
To assemble: I glued the boots to the legs then glued them to the back of one large scalloped oval. I glued the bandanna on the front of the oval, then glued the face (heart shape) the ears (two small ovals), the hair (one small scalloped oval) and the cowboy hat. I then glued the other scalloped oval to the back. (I did cut a small scalloped circle for the tail...but these can't be seen on my invitations) :)
