A Winters Day

Hi All
It's Tracey here and it is my turn to show you my creation for this month....The Dt have been creating their individual  projects using the theme of  "Snowflakes "  and the colours of blue navy and silver. I have chosen a silvery grey  project for you
.I have used the image called Winters Day...Isn't she  a sweetie  from Cute as a button who are the sponsors for the February challenge here at Craft-Dee BowZ  .

 I coloured her with promarkers and used First edition Christmas Wishes papers from Trimcraft. I also used the Sue Wilson/ creative expressions snowflake die set.The handmade flower is made using the heartfelt creations Arianna blooms die and stamp set  ,which I stamped and embossed onto white card and acetate using glitter embossing powder. the centre gem is from wild orchid

The chipboard snowflake on the front panel has been coloured with pebeo silver guilding wax and had a gem added to the centre,these fab chipboards were sent along with the pretty silver ribbon as part of my MPP pack.

 

 

   I also used my Craft-Dee BowZ Bow making tool to form the pretty bow

Here is what the inside of the card looks like when opened

 

well that's all from me ..It is now up to you to join us in the "Anything goes with a handmade bow February challenge with your own project ...good luck and Happy Crafting

"Snowfall"

Vicki here...It's my Tuesday up on the Craft-Dee BowZ Blog.

Before I go on, don't forget...the Craft-Dee BowZ February Challenge is, once again, being sponsored by Cute As A Button .  They will be awarding a prize of two single digital images of the top winner's choice.  There's plenty of time to create and enter!  You don't want to miss this....so be sure to play along with us.

Thank You, Cute As A Button!

Moving on...

The Design Team is appropriately working with a "snowflake" theme this month along with the colors of light blue, silver and navy.  The ribbons we received were gorgeous and I had the perfect papers and die cuts for this project! 

"Snowfall"

"Snowfall" is just a dabble of what we had the end of January.  What started out as a weather prediction of 6 to 10 inches, turned into a total of 32 inches for us...All in a matter of twelve hours.  The snowflakes were piling up rapidly, layer upon layer.  Which brings me to my layered, dimensional card.

This card is a size I rarely make, but the snowflake border die was just too pretty to cut down to a smaller size.  I added dimension by using a snowflake border punch and layering over the die cut border.  Sparkly jewels were the perfect accent for the snowflakes.  Reminds me of glistening snow!

The background is two different patterned papers matted in white pearl paper over the navy cardstock base.  The chipboard sentiment is accented with a couple of the snowflakes remaining from the border that I punched across the top of the card.

Everything in layers...including the ribbon and bow!  I layered the light blue over the navy ribbon across the front of the card and behind the sentiment.  The bow is one of my very favorite!  I made two single bows and joined them together at the center tie.  This was all made easy using my Craft-Dee BowZ Bow Making Tool.  If you don't have one, you need one!  Small and easily stored.

Love is in the air!

Well, it's the last Tuesday in January so that means it's my turn to post on Craft-Dee BowZ .  This month our sponsor is Cute as a Button. Francesca at Cute as a Button is a talented artist and I know you'll love her images, so please go and visit her store!

 

I used this adorable digital image named Share the Love from Cute as a Button for my project this month.

 

 

 

I colored my image with Copics and chalked the outside of the oval for a bit of color.  The heart lace around the image is from JoAnn's and was on a spool. The pretty silver heart clip with 'love' written in it is from Live & Love Crafts.  This fabulous shaped card was made with dies from Go Kreate.

Below is my flower arrangement. I used flowers from I Am Roses and Wild Orchid Crafts. The sparkly heart is my own creation. I die cut a heart onto double stick tape stuck on heavy white cardstock and sprinkled Crystal Stars Glitter - Rose on it. Then I covered it all with Glossy Accents and while it was wet I added another sprinkle of Crystal Stars Glitter. When that dried, I added one more layer of Glossy Accents. It's very 3-D, but smooth and you can see depth due to the Glossy Accents.

And my bow was made on my Craft-Dee BowZ tool which is why it looks so nice. This little tool is outstanding, inexpensive, handy to hang by the ribbon and easy to use! This double looped, double ribboned, bow came out so pretty and I hope the photo captures it well for you to see. The red jewel in the center has crinkled foil on the back, making it look sparkly.

The winner of the January Craft-Dee BowZ challenge of ANYTHING GOES AND INCLUDE A HAND MADE BOW will be 2 images of their choice from Cute as a Button. Along with that you'll get our badge to put on your blog. I hope you'll join us this month and your time is running out so get your card posted to the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge blog soon!
