Time for Tags

 Hello Everyone

Thanks for dropping by today.  It's time for my last post here for Craft-Dee BowZ for 2020. I usually post my inspiration piece on Tuesday, the first Tuesday, but that happened to be the first of the month, so I decided to post it today. And if I waited til the last Tuesday, as I sometimes do, Christmas would be over. So here I am. 

I decided to make a few tags for gifts and add some bows to give you all some ideas for the gift giving season.

Both my tags are 4"X5" and would look great as an accompaniment to a gift bag or a boxed gift of some sort.


Tag #1

The ribbon on this tag is a Hug Snug seam binding
that started out as white, but I colored with Mona Rouge Fresco ink.
 It turned out to be the exact color I was going for. 


the flowers are poinsettias from Heartfelt Creations 
and so is the green accent behind the flowers



Tag #2

The bow on this tag is a fluffy triple loop bow using a green sheer ribbon.

Here is a closer view of the bow


SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT

Stamps:Rubber Stamps - Heartfelt Creations - Poinsettia & Kolly
Paper/Card Stock
: (Tag #1) White CS, Green CS,  (Tag #2) Yellow CS, White CS

Ink: Fresco Ink - Mona Rouge; Momento -  Bamboo Leaves, Northern Pine
Dies Used: Heartfelt Creations - Poinsettias & Holly; Stairway Gardens (Tag #1)
AccessoriesEmbossing Folder, Ribbon, Hug Snug Seam Binding, Craft-Dee BowZ tool,

I used Santa On A Sled
on my card.

I used some sheer ribbon to make my bow. 


My bow was made with a powder blue sheer ribbon

I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make my bow
 and its so easy to use.
The great thing about the Craft-Dee BowZ tool 
is that it makes great smaller bows  for cards or  gift bags
as well as the larger bows to use on regular size gifts


If you are bow challenged - the CDB tool is for you.
The tool is small and makes great bows. 
It's portable and easy to store.
