Barbara (You are here)
Well I am the last designer for this month's blog hop. Have you had fun and seen some really beautiful cards and cool ideas?? I hope so.
For this blog hop, our theme is Living on the Edge - use border dies.
Let me share my card with you.
Three different border dies and an oval die make the back drop for the front of this card.
Next I stamped this cute Sherri Baldy My Besties Stamp image and used an oval die to cut it out.I used the Cutting Outside the Die technique. If you are not familiar with the how-to's of this cool technique, click here to watch a You Tube for directions.
I also added dimension to the wings. I stamped another set of wings onto vellum colored the new set of wings and cut them out then attached them over the original stamped image.
Here are two close ups of the wings.
My Bow - First I added a ribbon to the card and tied a knot and left tails about 2 " in length. For this card I used a ivory ribbon and attached it to the card front, Next using my Craft-Dee BowZ tool I made a larger single loop bow and then I made a smaller single loop bow using my magenta ribbon. I stacked the smaller loop bow on top of the larger loop bow and placed these two bows on top of the cream ribbon knot. Now using the tails of the cream ribbon, tie the magenta bows together and pull the cream tails really tight to ensure the bow is secure.Trim the tails of the magenta bows and the cream ribbon and you now have a fluffy double loop bow with a cream knot.
Click here and order yours today.
Here is the tool that makes it so easy to make yummy fluffy bows.
