Ever wanted a cute card holder which could also show you how to make your own vintage style soft toy? Then get ready to meet Otto the Owl, Dotty the Dog, Hetty the Hedgehog & Ludwig the Lion, handmade by me Miss Penni Pants (I'm also Superette's weekend manager!). These four loveable characters can’t wait to go travelling with you, they can be used to hold your bus/oyster cards, student ID’s and yes even those bank cards that just don’t seem to fit in your purse! These new cute friends can also be made into your very own stuffed toy, as full instructions on how to bring them alive are included within the design. Unfortunately the patterns provided are not to scale but a photocopier should do the trick!

I first decided to make fun card holders to cheer up my dreary bus journeys, and whilst browsing through many vintage annuals and crafty books I stumbled upon some cute vintage toy making instructions and became inspired to transform them into a posse of retro looking card holders. By using the vintage toy pattern instructions this product is a double whammy! Not only do you get a cool new card holder but you can also make yourself a stuffed animal friend..which definitely suits the new crafty craze that has been buzzing through the Lady Luck Rules OK website.

So which of the posse will be your favourite?

Otto the Owl who tries to watch what he eats but is definitely a culprit for stealing all the cookies from the cookie jar.

Dotty the Dog who wishes she could join the circus and be a part of the clowning act but has an unfortunate fear of tents.

Hetty the Hedgehog a gal whose hairdo is so uncontrollable that she has already lost 56 hairbrushes within her tangled mess.

Or Ludwig the Lion a dapper and proud cat who likes to sip tea and chat about storys of yester-year and ponder about whether he needs a new wardrobe.
