June is for Weddings

Hi Everyone,
June is considered the month for weddings. So I thought I'd make a card and combine a dress fit for the bride accented with a multi-loop bow. I used white cs and cream cs for a little contrast. And brides always have pearls don't they?? I added a pearl border to the label shape behind the bridal dress. Behind that is a little netting reminding me of the veil. That bow was made using the Craft-Dee BowZ tool (of course) and I used a sheer ribbon. I tried my hand at making a decorative pin. Just another little added touch to this card.

By the way, Craft-Dee BowZ is hosting their monthly challenge so you will want to click here to check it out. A Craft-Dee BowZ tool is awarded to one submitter each month. You could be the prize winner.

Stop back on Thursday, for the Craft-Dee BowZ blog hop. The theme is Butterflies and Flowers, and I have  something really cool to show you all. Hope to see you at the hop.

Well that is it for now. See you Thursday, maybe??

Scallop Circle and Bow

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick post. I hosted a M&T at Stamping Buddies yesterday and we made the cutest card using a few Sizzix dies.The ladies that stopped in loved this cute little card.I had a great time showing them how to make and assemble this.

I used:
circle scallop and bow die #657758
Sewing and Writing Set (scissors) - #657752
Decorative Vintage Set (flowers) - # 657751
Scalloped Circle Doily Set (embossing folder) - #657762

I used Core'dinations Whitewash CS - Love that stuff. Comes in a lot of cool colors.

These dies work great together and make a darling note card and it fits in a 5X5 envie.

Here is the card

Just a quick little card for a whatever occasion. This card took me less than 20 minutes to make.

Have a great Sunday. I'll be back Tuesday for my post for Craft-Dee BowZ, just think wedding, hope you stop back in. LOL

See ya then

Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge

Hi Everyone,
 I have 2 posts today, so if you are looking for the Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenges post, click here.

Well it's June 1 and that means it time for the June challenges. The Craft-Dee BowZ challenge theme this month is Celebrate Summer. I love summer, but not the hot and humid weather we get around here.

I checked in  my stash to see what I had that might fit this theme and I spied a beautiful butterfly. I see these splendid creatures all summer long. So with that butterfly in mind, I remembered I just received a new embossing folder from Spellbinders. It's one of their new 3D-M-Bossibilities. I got Delightful Daisies( It is a really cool embossing folder. Lots of emboss and deboss on this.) Since this folder has a butterfly on it, I decided to use this for the background. I colored a lot of the vines and highlighted the daisies to add visual interest.

Let me show you how this card came out.

I used 2" wide sheer ribbon and made a single loop bow. Of course I used the Craft-Dee BowZ to make my bow and in less that a minute that bow was done and ready to put on this card.

Now that you know what the CDB June challenge theme is, I am hoping that you will get your creativity in gear and enter the challenge this month. You may be the winner of this Craft-Dee BowZ tool. You will love this tool, trust me.
Check out the challenge here.

Tuesday is my regular monthly post for Craft-Dee BowZ, so please stop back. I have a great card to show you. The theme on our posts at CDB this month is wedding, so that's a hint of what you will be seeing.

Thanks for stopping in today
