A is for Autumn and Apples!

It's the 4th Tuesday in September and my day to be spotlighted on Craft-Dee BowZ challenge blog. I decided to make a shaker card, something I rarely do. I've stepped out of my comfort zone with this card!  I used this adorable image from Robyn's Fetish named Basket of Apples. Thank you, Donna, from Craft-Dee BowZ for the ribbon and those great red translucent beads that I used in my shaker!

And here's my red satin double looped bow. I've always loved ribbon on my cards and have more ribbon than I can use in my lifetime. And I've made bows for years, but I never made such pretty bows until I got my Craft-Dee BowZ bow maker. This little bow maker guarantees me great bows and I use it for every bow I make now. Whether it's a single looped bow or many loops...this little bow maker makes it easy as pie to create gorgeous bows.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge. They are a division of I Did It Creations, and was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn owns a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

Apple picking time ...

Hi
It is Tracey here with my inspiration post for this month . The sponsor for this months challenge is
Robyns Fetish stamps and more 

 

For my inspiration project I have used the lovely image called Apple's in a basket ... from Robin's Fetish and you can find it HERE . I made a card and matching cute basket which I filled with English cox apples for the photo...The image was coloured with promarkers and crafters companion blendable pencils. The gingham papers are free downloads from Bev Rochester . The flowers on the card  are from wild orchid . The flowers on the basket are made using a punch.

The ribbon was sent  to me as part of my monthly pack .I used my Trusty bow maker to form all the double looped bows...It is my go to tool for perfect easy bows time after time..

 

 

 

I hope you join us in this months challenge where anything goes with a handmade bow..
Happy crafting
Tracey

 

"Wish you lots of blessings"

Vicki here...It's my Tuesday to post on the Craft-Dee BowZ Blog sharing my September DT inspiration. 

 With harvest season upon us, we are creating with an "Apple Picking Time" theme using the colors of red, blue and green. 

Here's my "Apple" inspiration...
 

"Wish you lots of blessings"

The green patterned paper is layered over a 5 x 7 blue cardstock base.  I used a few of my favorite die cuts for the  background of this 3-D apple.  There's lots of dimension among the layers.
 

The blue, sheer bow was created with the help of my Craft-Dee BowZ Bow Making Tool.  I added a couple of leaves, flowers and stick pins as a finishing touch.

 Don't forget....our September challenge is proudly sponsored by Robyn's Fetish.

Back To School

Hello everyone.

Welcome to September and to the sponsor here this month -  Robyn's Fetish

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this months challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ. Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers,

designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion. Robyn’s Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award 3 digital stamps of the winner’s choice

to the winner of this months challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ.

Since school is back in session (probably everywhere)
I decided to make a card with a back to school theme.

Over at Robyn's Fetish, I saw the perfect image for my card,

an apple and the worm reading his book (Apple With Smart Worm),

perfect for the card I wanted to make. 

Here is a closer view of this cute Smart Worm

I added a beautiful double loop bow 

using a gorgeous lime green hounds tooth check

 patterned wired ribbon. 

I thought it a great accent to the smart worm.

To make this bow I use my Craft-Dee BowZ tool. The tool is easy to use and is easy to store and small enough to take with you if you travel, go to a crop or even just to a friends house.

You can order one here. 

You still have plenty of time to get your project entered 

in the Craft-Dee BowZ September monthly challenge

The theme is always - Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.

Can't wait to see what you are going to enter in our challenge

Stop back next Tuesday to see the beautiful project Vicki has made.
