Craft-Dee BowZ Halloween Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

 If you arrived here from Patty's blog then you are in the right spot. If not, then you may want to start at the Craft-Dee BowZ blog to get all the details.

This month's theme is Halloween. What a fun theme!!! You can dress up, beg for candy, go to parties, have a great time!!! Halloween is the most decorated holiday. That even beats out Christmas. Read this on the internet and I think that's an amazing tidbit of info, isn't it!!

 Seems I am stuck on the orange and purple colors for a Halloween projects lately,  LOL.
For this card I decided to make a long card. This card is 4" X 9" and it fits into a business size envelope.

In making this bow I decided to use two different ribbons. The orange ribbon is a single loop bow and that purple glittery ribbon is a double loop layered together to make this unique bow. 

 Here is a closer view of the bow.

Well, I am the last of the designers in the blog hop today. I hope that we have brought some great ideas for you to try out in your projects!! Please stop back at the Craft-Dee BowZ blog to make one last comment and let us know what your favorite project was. Remember, making a comment on each designers blog and the Craft-Dee BowZ blog will make you eligible to win a Craft-Dee BowZ tool.

The Wedding Card

Hi Everyone,
Back on September 7,  I posted a wedding invitation design that I made for a family member. Well the wedding was last evening and I want to share with you the card I made for the bride and groom.

The brides colors were purple and gray, and since I had some of the wedding invitation card stock left,  I used it to make the wedding card.

I decided on a book card design a while ago. These are really quite easy to make. Really they are!!! So here is how the book card came out.

Card front - closed

Here is a side view showing the pleated frame that makes the look of pages.

The inside left side of the card.

Inside - right side of the card.

Card fully opened

Since this card is thick, it will not fit in an ordinary envelope.
 I needed something along the lines of a slim box.
Below is the box. I made the box so the card was able to slide down into the box,
 mainly for protection of the card.
This is how I presented it to the bride. 

box with lid off to side

This box is about 1/2" thick, just the right thickness to accommodate the card.

The card slides down into the box perfectly.

I made this box very plain since this was my first attempt at this size box. Next one I make will be more elaborate. (And it's all about the card, anyway, isn't it. LOL)

The wedding was beautiful and the bride was gorgeous.

What a wonderful evening!!

Thanks for stopping in today so I could share this special card with you.

Have a great week and I will be back soon.

Trick or Treat

Welcome back!!!

Yesterday on my Craft-Dee BowZ post, I spotlighted a card in the Halloween theme and today I want to show you a cute little Trick or Treat bag I made for my post this month for Craft-Dee BowZ. The theme for October for the DT  posts is Anything But a Card.

I used a black gift bag that I picked up from Michael's and decorated it. I have a die that cuts out 3 different skylines and I decided that would be a fun bag front. Recently I received a spider web and added that to the scene. A vellum full moon adds to the early evening scene. I couldn't resist adding that spider by the web.

This is a darling bag and is perfect for the kids trick or treat bag. When I was a kid going out to beg for candy, we never decorated our bags. We used a shopping bag and we started at 6:00 p.m. and went door to door til 9:00 p.m. or so.That was way before all of the troubles and the restrictions that are now in place. We didn't have to worry about treats that people would give us. It was all good!!  Those were the days!!!

I digress..............OK here is my creation keeping with the theme this month at Craft-Dee BowZ

 The night skyline

 Spider and his web

I just made a simple single loop bow using my Craft-Dee BowZ tool.
