Hi Everyone

It Barbara and I'm back sharing my last project using the Diemond Dies. These dies are great!! One of the best features is that they release the paper/CS so easy, love that!!

Don't forget there is a giveaway that will be announced on December 1 here at Craft-Dee BowZ.

This card features the Fern die and the Asters set

Here is the card that made.

I want to share how I made my flowers. They actually stand up in the back.

I cut flowers from 3 dies, the 2nd and the 3rd smallest dies and the next to the largest die.

Next I stacked the 2 smaller flowers on top of each other

The larger flower, fold in half, with the petals offset 

Next attach the layered flowers on top of the folded flower. The folded flower will be attached at the center of the smaller layeed flowers.

Here is a side view

Here is what the flower looks like close up, attached to card.

When the flower is attached it will lay at a popped up angle.I know you can use dimensional foam, but this gives a somewhat different look. Hope you like ths look.

Leaving comments here will qualify you to be eligible for the giveaway to be announced on Sat. Dec. 1 on the Craft-Dee BowZ blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Next week, Vicki will be sharing her projects with you starting next Tuesday, Nov. 11. Please stop back for more great ideas.

 Today I am spotlighting the Fall Leaves set and the Bare Tree die in my project. This is a great time of the year to use this die.

I used the Bare Tree & Fall Leaves set

Here is my card

To achieve this two-tone tree. I just cut 2 bare trees from different colors of cardstocks and attached them together oin an offset manner.

I used alcohol inks on the leaves to get the various colors.

Here is a closeup of my multiloop bow made with my Craft-Dee BowZ tool.

I stacked the brown sheer bow on top of the gold stripped double loop bow.

These 2 ribbons were perfect colors for my fall themed card.

Thanks for stopping in today, I will be back Saturday for my last project. Hope you can join me again.

Hi Everyone,
It's Barbara here and I am leading off  November with projects that use dies from Diemond Dies along with my bow. This month all the designers at Craft-Dee BowZ have a real treat for you, we are all using Diemond Dies in our projects. Diemond Dies is a company committed to producing American made dies with popular styles that will appeal to scrapbookers, card makers, altered artists, and general paper crafters.  Whether your style is clean and simple, vintage and shabby, or something in between, they have dies for you!

Diemond Dies offers a really great selection. Check out the selection that they offer, here.  Today I am spotlighting the Pine Branch die in my project. This is a great time of the year to use this die.

When I received this die, I envisioned a wreath so that's what I designed for you.

And I really wanted the wreath to stand on it's own so to speak, so I made an easel card.

And here is the card opened. I added a multi loop bow to the side of the wreath. The Craft-Dee BowZ tool gives you the flexibility of making your bows in various sizes, to better fit the project you are working on.

This is a view from overhead, to give a view of the base and the wreath opened.

Here is a close up of the wreath 

Now its time for you to start thinking about your cards and projects. Hope this gives you some ideas.

I will be back Thursday spotlighting another die and the card I made, so, I hope to see you then..
