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.

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

Barbara here, 

Time for the first inspiration project for July, here at Craft-Dee BowZ

Hope you all are doing OK and still staying safe and healthy. 

My July inspiration piece is not a card. In fact there is no stamping (or images) at all on this. But this project definitely called for a bow.

Let me share the project with you.

The bow - up close

My bow - I used Hug Snug-seam binding (my fav) and of course, the Craft-Dee BowZ  bow making tool.

The bow is a quad loop bow for this project. Yep a quad loop bow. Using the seam binding and the CDB bowmaker, making a quad loop is really easy, and makes for a fuller bow.

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.

Barbara here, 

with the first inspiration project for June, here at Craft-Dee BowZ

Hope you all are doing OK and staying safe and healthy. 

Since Bugaboo is the sponsor this month for the June Craft-Dee BowZ challenge I thought I'd use another of their cool images.

Here is my card.

Welcome to the first Tuesday of April.

Barbara here, and seems like it was just yesterday 

I was posting the March First Tuesday post. 

Time has flown for me.

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy 

during these extremely trying times.

So, with that in mind, 

let's shut out the troubled world for a few minutes.

Since we are 3 weeks into spring 

and warmer weather has arrived here in my neck of the woods, 

I decided to use a flower stamp I just received from Rubbernecker.

Here is my card.

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

and what I used to make it.

My bow - I used Hug Snug Seam Binding (my fav) 

and of course, the Craft-Dee BowZ  bow making tool.

The bow for this card is a 3 loop bow .

Here is a closer view of the bow.

Hello Everyone,

Hey its Tuesday, that means it's time for Inspiration Tuesday projects

Barbara here and since we have passed over in to February,

I decided to use a stamp that I have had for some time. 

It was buried in with all my floral stamps and it got neglected, 

so I thought I'd  showcase it for you today.

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

Let me share my project 

This a really pretty Poppy and it made me think of spring. 

We've had a warm couple of days so I am getting spring fever. 

Hey, check out my bow.

Here is a closer view of it.

My bow is a triple loop bow 

Sheer ribbon makes awesome bows and I 

used the Craft-Dee BowZ maker to make my bow

lt 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.

Hello Everyone

Barbara here and welcome to the 1st Tuesday of the month. 

I like to call it Inspiration Tuesday.

My last inspiration post revolved around printing on printable acetate. 

well I wanted to see how that acetate would work if I stamped it instead of printing on it,

Well let me tell ya, I am so pleased

My card is a 5X7 and I used a stamp from Art Gone Wild by Catherine Scanlon - Daisies. 

I love this image

For more info on my card, 

please visit my blog - Art and Soul Creations

I added a bow to finish off my card.

And the bow was made using the 

Craft-Dee BowZ bow making tool.

Need one??

You can order yours, just click on the Buy Now button

Just a sweet reminder - the May Craft-Dee BowZ  challenge

Have a great week.

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.
