March Is Flying By

Hello there!  Thanks for tuning in for more inspiration here Craft-dee Bowz!  I have this beatiful tissue paper in my stash waiting for the perfect project. I adhered this delicate tissue paper with glossy gel medium to 110 pound card stock and let it air dry.  I love this  Impression Obsession Stamp and decided to drop a little watercolor into the rose.  The bow made from my Craft-dee Boxz tool was the perfect embellishment! 

Don't forget you have a few more days to jump into the Craft-dee Bowz March Challenge and join in on the fun.  Our sponsor this month is Cute As A Button, please be sure to check out their great digital stamps too.

To find out more about my card you can find it here.

Have a great week,

Happy Birthday Kisses Lyra-Pearl

Hi
It is time for my mid-month inspiration project for  This month i am showing you the card i made for my Beautiful Granddaughter Lyra -Pearl's 2nd  Birthday . I made a large easel card using the Grande circle dies from spellbinders. such a shame they no longer make these massive dies ,they sure make a showstopping card .

I used a Mo manning image called Kisses  and coloured her with Promarkers.

I made a foamiran Rose  and added some Wild Orchid flowers for extra prettiness.

I used my trusty Craft-Dee bowZ Bow maker to make a double looped organza bow.and added a resin flower to finish the centre .

The word dies are from Tonic and i just layered them up using papers and Stampin Up punches to form the stopper for the easel.
I hope you like my project and that you will join us in this months challenge
Happy crafting

Edna with a Cupcake Up on Top

Hello and Kathy here, it's my Tuesday to post for some inspiration.  

For my hosting project, I used one of my favorite stamp companies, Stampingbella.  This is Edna with a Cupcake Up on Top.  I stamped her on an A2 size card, created a mask, then used a background stamp that says Happy Birthday in several different languages.  I then used some of my Oxide Inks around the edges, colored the image with Copic markers, added a bow on the side and stamped the sentiment that came with the stamp on the inside of the card.

This card was created for a dear friend who happens to have a birthday this weekend.  I do hope she enjoys Edna and much as I and I guess I better stop and pick up a real cupcake to go along with the card.

Here is an image of the card I created just using all dies and of course my handmade bow.

Here is a photo of the little bow that I created with my Craft-Dee BowZ tool..

I hope I have inspired you and I hope that you will join in on all the fun during this challenge.  Our sponsor for the this month is Cute As A Button Digital Stamps.

They have some really adorable images so please pay her a visit, I'm sure you will find something in her shop that you will enjoy.  Up next is Tracey.

Until next time,

Kathy

Thank You

Hello everyone, Barbara here,

Welcome back the First Tuesday inspiration post for March, here at Craft-Dee BowZ. I usually post on the first Tuesday of the month - most times.

I wanted to have the look of a trellis on the card front so I decided to use a hand cut version. Sometimes you might see this trellis look down the fold side of a card. However I decided to make the trellis down the center of a card panel. I folded the panel in half, made the cuts, opened the panel up, made the folds and attached that trellis panel on the card front.

Since this cut reminds me of a trellis, I decided to use some Heartfelt Creations leaves and flowers. and since I have a lot of Heartfelt Creations, stamp/die sets I decided to use one stamp and die from the Patchwork Daisy collection. There are some swirly ones in the Patchwork Daisy collection that worked perfectly with my trellis. I slid the swirly leaves and flowers in between the folds to give the illusion of the vines coming in and out of the openings on the center trellis

Here is my inspiration piece.

This turned out pretty good.

Don't forget, the Craft-Dee BowZ March challenge has started and you have plenty of time to get a submission entered. The theme is always - Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.
