Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone

Barbara here and it's the last Tuesday of April and I thought I'd scoot in and share my latest Happy Birthday card. This just happens to be the last Tuesday inspiration project for April. This is a colored digi image that I printed on printable acetate. Yep you heard me right, I printed it on acetate.

Visit my blog for more of the details on this card.

And my bow is a triple loop bow and I used the Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make it. It's the best bow making tool going. Perfect for anyone who is a challenged bow maker.

Are you bow challenged?? You really should have one of these Craft-Dee BowZ tools.

I love mine and use it all the time.

It's available here on the Craft-Dee BowZ website. 

Look on the left sidebar to place your order

Hope this card inspires you.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is May 1 

That means it's the beginning of the next monthly challenge.

We'd love to see you stop in and check out all the designers projects for May.

See you soon

Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone
Barbara here. Well it's a new month. It's the first Tuesday and it's my turn to post.  I can't believe we are in June already. 5 months down already!! I am already thinking and making Christmas cards.

Since we are approaching the start of summer, I decided to use some flowers on my card. The two larger ones are store bought and kind of look shabby but the smaller ones were handmade by me.

Donna sent the DT members some beautiful ribbons to use this month. Peach satin, peach sheer and a peach lacy ribbon. The ribbons are so yummy so I used all three on this card. 

For my bow, I decided on a layered triple loop bow.

And of course the Craft-Dee BowZ tool makes creating that type of bow so easy.

I have some additional info about my card here on my blog. 

The Craft-Dee BowZ tool is available for ordering right here on the Craft-Dee BowZ blog 

on the left sidebar.. 

Each Tuesday one of the designers post their project here at Craft-Dee BowZ. Stop back next Tuesday to see what Vicki has in store for you.

Thanks for stopping by

Birthday Blessings to You

Hi Everyone!!!
It's Barbara and I am back with my regular monthly post. Did you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend??? I sure did. Now it's time to get back in the swing of things, back to work, back to the normal routine.

Today I have a card for you that contains a  bit of orange in it.Normally I am not a big fan of orange, but my tastes must be changing 'cause it seems like I've used I used orange a lot lately. And here I go again today with more orange. LOL  That's OK, I guess I am in ushering the fall season, with my choice of orange colors on these cards lately.

I had some Tri Shutter cards cut out and ready to finish and I decided to use one of those for my card today.

I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make the bow for this card. And you know, I always say this, that tool is easy to use and it lets me make fabulous bows every time. I opted for a double loop bow for this card. I really didn't want the bow to over power the side of the card. Did you notice that I layered the green ribbon down the center of that wide yellow ribbon. What a great effect.

I used one of my blank tri shutter cards as the card base.I added stamped images and gorgeous designer paper to really make that card come to life.

This first pic shows the card closed.

These tri-shutter cards are so fun to decorate, because there are so many areas to work with.

I love the fact that they will stand up on their own and show themselves off. LOL

The pic below is a view from the right looking to the left

The sentiment is positioned in the center.

I added 3 flowers to the right side of the card.

That butterfly is the perfect addition to the front area. 

Craft-Dee BowZ has their monthly challenge going on right now. Hope you enter, you could be the next winner of the bow maker. Click here or go to the Monthly Challenge tab at the top of the page to check out the challenge blog and all the details. 

Well that is it for now, have a great week.

Stop in next Tuesday for another post from one of the designers.

See ya soon.

Barbara
