Have you tried the Gift Bow Bigz Die yet?  I just love this great tool.  Look how great it looks on these cards.  Quick and easy.

You'll notice here though that the bow tails hang over a bit.  There are a couple of easy solutions for this.  One, use our Envelope Punch Board and make your envelope a big bigger to go with it.  Perfect!

Or, you can use your paper snips and trim the tails a bit, both in the center and on the edges.  Works great!

 Either way, the recipient of these cards will love how great they look!

Beautiful Bows with the Gift Bow Die

I was playing with the Gift Bow Bigz L Die and decided to add some layers and make the bow a little bigger.

Cut two pieces of 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" DSP of your choice and then lay them both together on the Gift Bow Die.  No worries, it will through two at a time with no problem!

Assemble as shown below.  I used the "green glue" aka Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  It holds it together permanently and won't fall apart.

Add an embellishment to the middle.  I used the Frosted Finishes Embellishments from the Holiday Mini.  You might want to use a large glue-dot to hold this down.  I used the "green glue" again, but I did have to hold it together for a while so it would set up.

Thanks for looking in today.  The weekend is almost here!
