Hello Everyone, 

Today is December's first Tuesday 

and time for my Craft-Dee BowZ inspiration post 

I received a Christmas gift Saturday and
wanted to make a card to express my gratitude
to my friend.

I decided that I wanted the card
to have an underlying theme
 of the Christmas season.

When I was coloring the blooms on this image I was not happy with one bloom.
So I decided to color another image but just the blooms.
After  coloring the blooms (again) I fussy cut the 2nd  bloom area
and popped it up over the original

Next, I looked at the vase and it reminded me of an old coffee pot.
So I thought I'd use some silver leaf to give it an old look

I added some satin ribbon along the right side of the card,

 made my bow using my CDB bow maker,

and attached it to the satin ribbon. 

Sometimes it makes for a interesting look 

to mix 2 different types of ribbon.

Here is a closer view of my fluffy bow. 

It's a triple loop made using very sheer ribbon (my fav)

The great thing about the Craft-Dee BowZ tool is,  

it's easy to use, it's small and portable and easy to store. 

Makes great bows, whether they are little or larger, say for a gift.

I used Winter Friends
on my card.

is that it makes great smaller bows for cards or  gift bags

November Stamp Club Challenge Card

Hello crafty people

Tuesday night was the monthly stamp club gathering
 at my house and we had a great time as always.

Last month we were given a challenge piece offered a lot of possibilities.

Each of us were given a bag of goodies and we were to use anything in the bag to use on our challenge card. 

Here is what was in the bag. Lots of stuff........ for sure

There are felt tags, a stamp, fabric tape, duct tape and some ribbon all in that bag.

We could use 1 thing or whatever we wanted from this stash, on our card.

I am not a CAS card maker 
but I decided to use that David Tutera fabric tape 
and that stamp and make a CAS card.

Here is the finished card.

I only used 2 items from that great bag of goodies. 

The center horizontal pinkish piece is the David Tutera fabric tape

 and I also used the stamp. 

The rest of the vertical and horizontal pieces
 on this card are washi tape from my own stash. 

I wove these together and added my stamped image.

How I did my fabric/washi tape -

I attached the tapes onto cardstock in strips. 

Next I cut the strips apart right along the edges of the tape. 

Then I decided the lengths I wanted to use and cut the lengths. 

Then I notched the ends. 

I then wove the pieces and used tape on the backside 

and attached this piece to the card.

I stamped the words onto CS, cut it into a rectangle 

and inked the edges and attached it to the card front and I was done.

The tape is bright and cheerful 

and this design would make a great birthday card 

and I am sure you could come up with other themes as well

SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT

Stamps:  Clear stamp Inkadinkado - Friends Words (This is a very old stamp and is no longer in production) Paper/Card Stock: White CS Ink: Moments - Angel Pink. India Ink - Black Accessories: Fabric tape, Washi tape

I am submitting my card in the following challenges:

• Crafting By Designs   Anything Goes (#111)
• Creative Moments  #180 - Anything Goes  (#93)
• Little Red Wagon  #523 - Use More Than Two Words (#25)
• WaterCooler Wednesday #247 - All Occasions (#36)
• Crafty Sentiment Designs  - Anything Goes (#63)
• Digi Choosday Challenge - #46 - Anything Goes (#46)
• Lemon Shortbread - #106 - Always Anything Goes  (#105)

Hope this card gave you some ideas!!! 

Instead of Washi tape you could also use printed paper scraps. 

And we all save every last piece of paper, don't we. LOL

I know I do. 

Well that is it for now. Hope you have a crafty weekend

I will be back soon
