THE GIFT BOW

Today’s Post features the Gift Bow Bigz L Die , and a tutorial on how to use it to make several different size bows. This die is so easy to use and the end result are beautiful!

Gift Bow Bigz L Die Item: 129977

Pretty Presents Designer Bows Item: 132186

DIRECTIONS & TIPS

• To use the die build your regular sandwich using the Standard Cutting Pads, and run it through the Big Shot.
• This die is different from our other dies — it’s a steel roll die and that means it can cut three to four pieces of paper at a time. It can also cut fabric! When you have cut your paper you will have five bow pieces. Now you can get to bow making.
• You will need a bone folder, and SNAIL Adhesive. Run your bone folder over the paper and break up the paper fibers and then assemble!
• To make the large bow you will need the large piece, the two bow end pieces and the wrap piece.
  • Put a little bit of SNAIL in the middle of the large piece, and fold the ends of the large piece in on its self.
  • Then bend the wrap piece around the middle to create a finished look.
  • Then adhere the end pieces onto the bow.

To make the smaller bow you will need to cut out two pieces of paper on the Gift Bow Bigz L Die.

• Take two of the bow pieces and fold them in half.
• Adhere them to each other in the middle and assemble the same way as large bow.

You can play with the pieces to create as simple or as elaborate bows as you want!

Don’t have a Big Shot? We’ve still got you covered, check out our new Pretty Presents Designer Bows. It comes with enough to make ten paper bows, and it looks fabulous on our new Extra-Large Gift Box. Bows are so much fun!

Fun With Thinlets Dies

 

During the Stampin' Up! Convention in July Penny Hanuszak demonstrator from Abbotsford was one of the lucky recipients of a Label Card Thinlits Die package during one of the Prize Patrols. . You can view the flyer here, but basically this is what the two Thinlits die sets look like.

 

 

So on Tuesday, I was happy to have been invited by Penny Hanuszak a Demonstrator from Abbotsford for a stamping day with her and Sheri Lee, one of Penny's downline . We had the opportunity to play with the Thinlits Die and some other great products, and had so much fun! Here are some of the Christmas themed cards we made using the Thinlits Dies. I wish you could see these in person because the photos just don't do them justice!

 

 

 

This is the one of the cards Penny made using a card base of Smokey Slate card stock that measured 5 1/2"x6". For the inside of the card she used a piece of Whisper White card stock that was embossed with the  Northen Flurry Embossing Folder and added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to pop those snowflake right off the page.

 

To  add some glam to the front of the card she used Silver Glimmer Paper that was cut out with the label die from the Label Card Thinlits set. It fits perfectly on th swing label showing a perfect 1/8" edge all round the rim of the label. Love it!
The smallest snowflake image from the new Festive Flurry Stamp Set was  stamped twice in Soft Sky ink on Whisper White and cut out with the Festive Flurry Framelit Dies.I purchased the Bundle which is shown on page 30 of the Holiday Caalogue.  It includes the stamp set and the Festive Flurry Framelits Die and I saved 15% or $12.00 off the total price. I'm glad taht I bought the bundle as teh stamps and dies work so perfectlly together and there is no fussy cutting. I wasn't really going to buy "another snowflake set this year but I kind of fallen in love with this set and I know I will be using it a lot this year for sure.

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a stunning card made by my downline Sheri Lee. I loved, loved, loved her take on this card. She chose to expand the card so the base is 5 1/2 by 8 1/2". I'll provide a picture tutorial sometime to show you how to get this perfect extension. I think it adds so much more to this card, and I probably will use this version the most when making swing cards, as it just adds so many more possibilities for design

 

 

 

 

 

Here's another card Penny made using the extended card stock measurement. I just love it because it gives some extra space to write your message on the inside. The card base is Soft Sky with touches of Smokey Slate.

 

 

 

I came up with this card adapting both Penny's and Sherri's ideas and add the Silver 1/8" Ribbon from the holiday catalogue picture doesn't really do it justice I can't wait to order my sets.
