Adding a beautiful bow to your cards can be the finishing touch and there are many ways to get a good result.This is a Double Bow with Tails made from 1" wide Satin ribbon ... and a large Dazzler added to cover the knot.
And I used my ... "Griffy Creation" ... the Wooden Bow Maker which is now available to purchase in MY SHOP
He has been nose to the grind this weekend making them and then we made a video to show you how I used mine to get the bows for my cards.
Using a Bow Maker is not a long tutorial but you will have time for a cuppa ...
The second Video that I promised you was for a variation on the Hinged Cards.
This one is the Filigree Hinged Cards and both these cards are featured in the tutorial.
I loved the pretty Pink Baby Card form yesterday and this is one for the boys.
The little rocking horse is made from Felt and is from Mei Flower and the pink bib from yesterdays card is also part of the same Baby Range
The sentiment is part of a collection from Lili of the Valley and there are mixed saying on each one.
I use scissors to cut them out and then layer them to a circular Spellbinders and add them to the card front with foam pads.
I really hope you will enjoy both of the tutorials ... and after a busy weekend we are going out this evening for a lovely meal in our favorite restaurant .... and this time I will rememeber to take my bank card with me !!!!!
Hugs xx
I love the colors that you've chosen to do these cards. And the sentiment "When I get tired of shopping, I sit down and try on shoes" is fantastic! TFS

Beautiful cards Christina and fantastic tutorials.
ReplyDeleteOh my, both of those cards are over the top gorgeous!!! I'm off to check out the bow maker...I constantly struggle with bows.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Christina! I wasn't going to watch your bow video, simply because I have a bowmaker already (yours is definitely superior!) and I know how to do these.
ReplyDeleteBut I watched it anyway. And boy oh boy, was I ever surprised! I learned so many tips and tricks watching that video!
Thanks so much for sharing this.
Love your cards, have to say I have got hooked on this type of card they are so effective.
