Scatter Joy!!!

Well, I am anxiously waiting for Spring to get here! I'm so tired of rain, and snow and COLD!!! So I thought I would "Scatter a little Joy" with this card! I pulled out some old scraps of paper and die cuts that matched this lucious ribbon. I also did a different type fold. It's actually a backwards folded small card inside an offset larger card.

I started out with a base of green cardstock. I embossed one section with a Spellbinders reversable embossing folder (Patchwork). I added pieces of patterned paper and die-cuts.

Here you see the inside section, you can see the bow itself was done with the sheer blue and green ribbons. The bow is a double loop bow, of course tied with my Craft-Dee Bowz tool!!! I used the lavendar ribbon to wrap around and use as a tie. It ties closed in the back.

Here is the inside!

Here are a couple of close-ups, you can see the detail of the bow and also a little bit of the embossing! This is also one of my favorite color combinations!

I hope this has put you in the mood to work on some Spring projects, and don't forget to add lots of bows, and be sure to use the Craft-Dee Bowz tool!!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Little Vintage St. Patrick's Day

I wanted to share a card with you using a vintage image. I also just used some left over scrap papers and cardstock that were green. I used the pretty gold and green sheer ribbon. The green has a little sparkle to it too!

Here you can see some of the detail where I cut a pattern strip and added cream pearls to the centers.

Here you see my bow, using the two ribbons and a double loop, of course using the Craft-Dee Bowz tool! I added some little blooms to the center!

Here is another closeup of the bow and the detail!

I used a scallop punch and put a green border around the entire thing and also added more cream pearls. It's a pretty elegant look without much time! The Craft-Dee Bowz tool makes bows so easy, and you can just use your imagination and go wild!

I hope you like the card, and don't forget to come back to see what we have in store for you next!!!!

Thanks!
