Present Card with Guest Designer Dana Tatar

Hi Craft-Dee BowZ fans! Guest Designer Dana Tatar here today sharing a festive holiday card. I thought it would be fun to make a card that looked like a wrapped present and this is what I came up with.

I attached a fun piece of red polka dot patterned paper to a cardstock card base and then applied green polka dot fabric tape both vertically and horizontally across the center of the card. I added a large canvas flower to the center of the card and tucked gold Starform Stickers around the flower. I backed the gold holly leaves with green paper for a pop of color. I added a stamped gift tag under the edge of the flower. I topped the flower with a large glittery triple-loop bow that I tied with my Craft-Dee BowZ Tool. I finished the card with a patterned paper tag, small flower, twine bow and some acorns.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Love Card with Dana Tatar

Hi Craft-Dee BowZ fans! Dana here today sharing a card. This month Craft-Dee BowZ has partnered with The Graphics Fairy, an amazing source of fabulous, free digital images. If you have not visited this site it is fantastic! I have created a card using one of their fairy images.

I started with an embossed cardstock base and then added some script stamping and a wide strip of lace. Donna set me a gorgeous handmade butterfly and some beautiful butterfly lace, which I was happy to use on this card! I inked the edges of my image with Distress Ink and Stickles for a bit of shimmer.

I tied this pretty double loop bow with two different pieces of ribbon and my Craft-Dee BowZ Tool. I loved the look of the gold satin under the sheer organza striped ribbon. Simply layer the ribbons on top of each other and use the Craft-Dee BowZ Tool as you would with a single piece of ribbon to create this two-toned bow.

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy crafting!

Spring Flings and Easter Things with Dana Tatar

Hi Craft-Dee BowZ fans! Dana Tatar here today sharing an Easter themed card. I chose a beautiful cardstock sticker for the focal point of my card. I embellished the sticker with a flower and added some pearl accents with a pearl pen. I die-cut a scallop edge mat for the sticker and the topped that with a beautiful double-loop bow that I tied with my Craft-Dee BowZ Tool.

I topped my bow with a bunny charm. The green die-cut that I placed under the sticker was lined in black. I mimicked that design element on the yellow cardstock to tie the design together.

Thanks for stopping in today and have a great week!

All You Need Is Love

Hi Craft-Dee BowZ fans! Dana Tatar here today sharing a card that I created to help share my love with someone special. I use hearts all the time in my crafting, but really played up the love theme of this card.

I punched out and stamped different sized hearts onto a book page. I placed a piece of pink cardstock under my punched paper as a fun way to add color to my card.

I added a pretty double loop bow that I tied with my Craft-Dee BowZ Tool to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cold Hands Warm Heart with Dana Tatar

Hi Craft-Dee BowZ fans! Dana Tatar here sharing my first project as a member of the Craft-Dee BowZ team today! I like to dress in layers during the cold Winter months, so in keeping with that trend, I created this card that also sports several layers of patterned paper, cardstock and ribbon.

I topped the cozy pair of mittens with a perfect double bow. This bow measures 1.5 inches from loop to loop. I wouldn't have been able to create a beautiful bow of such small size without my Craft-Dee BowZ Tool.

Wedding Anniversary Card with Guest Designer Dana Tatar

Hi Craft-Dee BowZ fans! Dana Tatar here with you today sharing my guest design project with you. June is the month for weddings and I'm celebrating my sister's wedding anniversary this month. I thought it would be fun to send her a card that featured one of my favorite photos from her wedding to remind her of her special day.

I added a vellum sentiment right to the photo, which is adhered to an embossed and sanded piece of whitewashed cardstock.

My card wasn't complete until I added a beautiful double loop bow created with my Craft-Dee BowZ Tool! I added a small die-cut flower and rhinstone button to the center of the bow for a touch of sparkle.

A big thanks to the Craft-Dee BowZ Team for inviting me to share my work this month! I'd also like to thank everyone who stopped by and left a comment on my blog during the hop last week! If you didn't win the Craft-Dee BowZ Tool prize, there is another chance to win this month by playing along with the June Challenge!  You can find all the details HERE.
