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.

Thanks for stopping by today!

For a rainy day

Well our trip home from the convention brought a wee bit of the wet stuff off and on, but it decided to continue today making for a glum Monday.  Monday's are bad enough, but when it's gloomy, I think I get a bit edgy.  So I put myself to good use in my craft room and created a card that was apropos of the weather.   I thought I'd pop it in here quickly before my Design Team takes over.

I happened to have an Dreamweaver umbrella stencil, so I sandwiched it properly and made it work like an embossing folder.  I love making my toys do double duty, can you tell? I then skimmed over it with Distress Tumbled Glass.  The umbrellas are a Memory Box die pop dotted onto the card.  I added a simple sentiment and a great big bow to complete the picture.

My mojo ran out after I did this card and I can't seem to get out of my own way!  Boy do I hope that changes soon!

Don't forget -- this is Blog Hop week starting at 10pm Wednesday through Friday.  Drop by and see what these talented gals have created!
