Saturday Morning Videos: Gift Bow Die


Good morning and welcome to Saturday Morning Cartoons Videos! Today I want to show off this amazing Gift Bow Bigz L Die. This die is so easy to easy and the end result is beautiful! 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! Take a peek at this video to see the die in action . . .

You're a Whole LOT of Wonderful!


Hello, stampers!  I hope you are having a wonderful day . . . because you are a whole LOT of wonderful to me!  So . . . I will share with you another one of the cards we made at Susana's workshop.  


All I did was stamp this image in Island Indigo ink directly onto some Designer Series Paper.  Don't you love the effect?  How quick and easy - and truly Clean-n-Clever!  I also used my Simply Scored tool to score lines around the stamped piece.



This is the version I made to swap at the Catalog Premiere event back in April . . .




And since it was such a simple card to make, I made a bunch more using different Designer papers!



All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Vivid Vases
Ink:  Island Indigo, Basic Black
Paper:  Whisper White, Quatrefancy Speciality DSP, Watercolor Wonder DSP
Extras:  Seam Binding Ribbon in Pool Party and Daffodil Delight.

So grab some Designer Series paper with a subtle or small print, and stamp to your heart's content - and enjoy the fun results!  Thanks for stopping by today!

I learned to make notepad covers at a demo meeting with our SU! upline Dawn Olchefske.  I loved the idea so much I made several more to sell at vendor shows! We used the Blossom Punch and the Modern Label punch to create the flower - clever, huh?!  You can find instructions and a video on Dawn's blog post - and a photo of our demo group gathered that evening!

Happy Congratulations Coming Your Way!


All of my CLOclub members get a chance at being hostess and therefore harvesting all the Hostess benefits from the club order!  They sometimes also host a separate workshop in their home to add orders and thus more Hostess Dollars!  Susana did just that . . . and ended up with $65 Hostess Dollars to spend on anything and the chance to also purchase one item for 1/2 price!  She was thrilled.  Way to go, Susana!

This card was one we made at her workshop - another Clean-n-Clever card, enjoyed by all her guests.


The ribbon end is looped under and attached to itself with a couple Gluedots, the ends were banner cut, and the whole piece just fastened to the card with Snail adhesive!



I made a few extra for myself in an alternate color scheme . . .






All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Happy Congratulations
Ink:  Basic Grey, Smoky Slate, Pacific Point, Soft Sky, Coastal Cabana, Summer Starfruit
Paper:  High Tide DSP, Sweet Sorbet DSP, Pacific Point, Whisper White
