PRE-SPRING TAGS – February 2021

I painted a little gift tag for a friend’s birthday present last week, and loved loved loved the organic way it looked so I painted a few more. Might they come in handy for your gift-giving needs? Even though we’re still firmly in winter, I’ve got spring on my mind, so let’s call these “pre-spring tags”. To download, click here.

As with most of my printable cards and tags, I recommend using thicker, textured paper like this one.


MOTHER’S DAY GIF + MINI CARDS

http://sanaeishida.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/flowercards-gif-final.mp4

Here’s a Mother’s Day gif I made in case you’re running a bit behind schedule and have decided to opt for a digital card for this Sunday. :-). You can download the gif here.

I also designed some quick mini cards and a matching envelope. Print, cut out, glue the flaps of the envelope, write a sweet message (I included an all-purpose card that can be used for other occasions) and you’re good to go. Click on the images below to download:

 

 

 

 


EASTER PUPPET THEATER

This is a quick little puppet theater I put together with Easter in mind. We’re having a mini, quarantine-appropriate egg hunt this year, where the kids get their own sections (social distancing!). I thought this sweet and easy project might add a spark of creativity for the weekend and beyond. The “stick puppets” can also be used as tags/cards for any baskets or gifts. To make the puppets, simply cut out the shapes and tape a stick or pencil to the back. The puppet theater probably works best taped to the edge of a box (you’ll need to cut out or open up the back of the box too). You might come up with an even better idea — let me know if you do!

Enjoy!

ANIMAL FRIENDS BINGO

Here’s a fun little game I created based on the animals (plus a few extra) that I included in my latest book, ANIMAL FRIENDS TO SEW (publication date: April 2020).

In addition to offering up entertainment and some teachable moments via the classic Bingo game, if you print two copies of the labeled animal cards, you can play a matching game as well. Huzzah!

 

Due to the file size, I had to create two separate files. To download, click on the images or on the links below:

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones! I’m spending time with family in the Midwest and there is much to be grateful for, not the least of which is the slower pace this week. Sending big hugs to you! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Incidentally, this ikebana floral arrangement is one of the illustrations that didn’t make it into my book SHIBUI — I painted a lot of extra illos!
