Do you believe it?! It's October 1. Oh my. Pretty soon it will be Christmas.
Whoa WAIT!!
Whoa WAIT!!
Let's get thru Halloween first!!
hehehe.
Since it's the first of the month, the new challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ begins now.
The challenge theme is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow
And since we are beginning the month of Halloween
I decided to make a Halloween card.
Let me show you what I designed
All of the images on my card are digital and are from
Graphics Fairy
I added glitter to the web to make it look like a real web, shimmery.
Check out my bow.
I started out making a single loop bow but my bow took a surprising twist.
Let me show you.
Look at that bow - it has 3 loops.
Yes I used the Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make a single loop bow.
But a single loop bow just gives you 2 loops.
Let me explain how my 3 loop bow came to be.
But a single loop bow just gives you 2 loops.
Let me explain how my 3 loop bow came to be.
- I cut a ribbon piece a little longer than the card panel.
- I folded the ribbon ends over the panel edge and taped the ends down on the backside of the panel.
- Next I made my single loop bow and set it aside.
- I cut a separate a piece of ribbon (an attacher) to use to attach the bow to the ribbon taped to the card panel.
- I made that attacher piece too long but I still used it to attach the bow to the ribbon taped to the panel,
- After attaching the bow I had a tail that was way too long on one side.
- I made a loop using that long attacher piece. I taped it under the single loop bow. So now the bow looks like a 3 loop bow.
I added a charm to the bow center just to dress the bow up even more.
The challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ is underway.
