Owls from the Bigz L "Pillow Box" Die from Stampin' Up!

Hello once again lovely Bloggers!
As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to the Pink Ladies quarterly training last Sunday and had a blast! I was asked last minute if I would do an "Inspiration Station" as someone sadly had to pull out... and I sad YES! (why oh why do I put myself under so much pressure?!!) Anyway, it seems I did some of my best work whilst under pressure this time, and that's a first for me!
I chose to use the Pillow Box die from Stamping Up as it's often overlooked as a little boring and limited. Well, I hope after you see the pictures that is more than just a box, it can be almost anything you want it to be...
Above, you can see a few of my owl designs. I did a Boy in blue, Girl in pink (including eyelashes!), A Santa, a Pumpkin... and I will post pictures tomorrow of the Bat owl I made. I will also post how I made them so you can do these too!
I also roped my Boss into the equation... and asked him to cut down some twisted ficus branches that overhang his garden so I could make a wonderful display for them all to sit in :)


I love the idea that you can fill them with sweets, money or a present for birthdays, new baby arrivals, Christmas, Halloween, or just to say "I haven't forgotten you!!"


I'd love to hear what you think, so please leave me a comment, it really does make my day to hear from you.


Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or you want to place an order or book a wonderful fun workshop in your own home, especially with the new hostess benefits, it's not to be missed - ask me more...

    These are so cute but much better in real life.
    I am sure that there will be owls all over the place especially if you post instructions.
    It was lovely to see you on Sunday, hope that you weren't too exhausted when you got home!
    Take care
    Love Linda James
