Fall and Pumpkins

Barbara here and......

Welcome to the first Inspiration Tuesday post in October. Do you believe it, Fall is really here!!!

Every Tuesday the designers take turns posting an inspiration project for your viewing pleasure.

Today I decided to share a card that I made depicting pumpkins and fall and of course my card has a bow but this time I used Bakers Twine in an orange shade in keeping with the fall theme I had in mind.

Let me share my card with you

Pumpkins always remind me of fall so

 I used an image from Bugaboo that fit the bill

Here is a closer view of my bow.

This is a multiple loop bow and 

I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make this bakers twine bow. 

Works great with the twine,too.

The CDB tool really aides me in making all my bows.

And you don't need to use ribbon. 

My bakers twine bow is a perfect example

Do you have your CDB tool yet?? No???

This tool is smaller, easy to use, travels well and it's easy to store.

It will make bows from 1" to 4 1/2"

You can order yours by clicking on the 

Buy Now button here on the left sidebar.

Click here  to go to my blog for more info about my project

Just a reminder - 

The October Craft-Dee BowZ challenge has started and runs thru October 30.

The theme is Anything Goes (no bow required)

You could be the next winner,

We are looking forward to your submission.

That it for now

Stop back next Tuesday to see what Kathy has come up with

for her Inspiration Tuesday project

Thanks for stopping by

Be well and stay safe

Warm Winter Wishes

Hello Everyone,

Since its Tuesday, it's time for Inspiration Tuesday projects

Barbara here and since it's still January, and we are really still in the midst of winter I decided to use these 2 images from Bugaboo that reminded me of winter. 

(Click here for more info about my card, it's over on my blog)

Let me share my project 

 These little guys are so cute but they look mighty cold. LOL

Here is a closer view of my bow.

The Craft-Dee BowZ bow maker tool  is the best bow maker tool out there.

It is smaller, easy to pack and take with you or store and it really enables you to make super bows. 

My bow is a triple loop bow and since I added stars to the main part of the card, 

I decided to add stars to the bow as well. 

To order yours please click on the Buy Now button  here on the left sidebar.

Don't forget the monthly Craft-Dee BowZ is going on right now

You still have plenty of time to get a project submitted

The theme is always Anything Goes (no bow required)

Our sponsor for the January challenge is The Paper Shelter

and you could be our next winner

We are looking forward to your entry

Stop back next Tuesday

 to look at Kathy's inspiration

Hope you can join us,

and the stockings were hung

Hello Everyone!!!

How is your month going so far?? Are you ready for Christmas??? Hope you have all your cards finished, addressed and in the mail. 

No?? .... if not I have returned with my Tuesday inspiration for you and hopefully, this might give you a new idea for just that right card. 

The sponsor this month, here at Craft-Dee BowZ is Bugaboo. Now, I have had this stocking image for a while and thought I'd use it for my Tuesday post. This image makes a perfect card for the holiday season. Hope you like it, too.

I love the way this turned out. I used 3 different foil colors on this super image. 

Visit my blog for additional information on how I made this card. 

My bow turned out so nice, I used a stacked bow to get that really fluffy look. I also used a sheer ribbon and (IMHO) I think sheer ribbon makes the best fluffy multi-loop bows.

The Craft-Dee BowZ tool is the perfect tool for all your bow making needs.  Need one of these great tools?? Order one today, just go to the left sidebar and order one. Donna will send it right out. 

This is my last Tuesday inspiration project for 2018. Please stop back next Tuesday and the other Tuesdays this month for more inspiration from the other designers. 

I will be back January 1 to start off the new year, 

Thanks much, and try to stop in next Tuesday for another cool project.

Happy Birthday

Barbara here, 
Hi there! It's Tuesday and that means it's time for a designer to share an inspiration project with you.

Did you know, every Tuesday, Craft-Dee BowZ posts a new inspiration piece for your enjoyment. The inspiration projects will always contain a bow made using the CDB bow making tool. The projects may not always a card, so we invite you to stop back each Tuesday to view the next inspiration piece. If you want a reminder, follow CDB by email, you will receive an email alerting you to the new post. 
The follow by email spot is on the right sidebar.

Since it's the 1st Tuesday of the month it's my turn to share an inspiration project.  The Craft-Dee BowZ challenge has already started and will be running until October 30

Let me share my inspiration piece, 

and I hope it gives you some design ideas.

I made this card with the fall season in mind. 
I know I know I usually have big fluffy bows on my projects. 
Well,  this card just needed a smaller bow so I used colored bakers twine.

I thought the leaves and the squares made a statement on their own,
so they became the focal point. 

I decided to use this card for an upcoming fall birthday. 
Those little dots added a bit more interest and the card is ready to send. 

I hope you enjoyed my project. Please visit my blog for additional info about my project.
I also hope you will submit your project in the current challenge. 
The CDB challenge will close on October 30.  
I'd love to see what you've been working on. 
Your creative project could be our next monthly winner

Just a reminder

The sponsor for the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge this month is Bugaboo

The prize will be  4 digital images

Don't forget,
 the challenge theme is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow

Thanks for visiting the Craft-Dee BowZ blog today,
 Stop back next Tuesday to check out
 another fun and creative inspiration project presented by Kathy.
