Stars and a Christmas card!

I love to make Christmas cards...
All the wonderful images and all the beautiful papers and embellishments.
My followers may have noticed I have a bit of a hang up in using bells on my Christmas cards...lol

We have a new Challenge at Copic Marker Norge today with a new sketch to follow and you have to use stars on your card too. Gorgeous, gorgeous as I love stars too!

And I found this wonderful digi that just screamed Colour me!!

Bow Maker Tutorial

Good morning my friends!

Today I have a new card to show you and with this card I have a tutorial. Just a short presentation in how to make a perfect bow with the Bow Maker from Joy! Craft

You will find this tutorial in Norwegian at Kreativ Scrapping

This is what you need:

The Bow Maker comes with four sticks and these are the ones that decide how big your bow will end up. As closer to each other you put them, the smaller bow.

Hold your ribbon with left thumb and take the ribbon around both the sticks until the ends meet in front.

A picture without my fingers in the way...

Just put the upper end under the "bow" so it comes up in the back

Drag it over and tighten it a bit so you can see that it is looking nice in front.

(This is the back side)

Tie a simple knot 

This is what it looks like when it's done, from behind

Perfect bow, ready to use! 

This is a double bow made with white seambinding.

If you want to make a double or triple bow, just fold it two or three times around the sticks before you tie the knot.

A bow made with two different ribbons.

And here is the card I made with my bow.

Hope you like it!

I think she is wonderful!!

And I just LOVE my new MS punch ♥♥

The image comes from Sherri Baldy Art, a wonderful digistamp company that is quite new to me.

 You find her Etsy shop here, so many gorgeous designs!

I have coloured the wonderful girl with my Copics in these colours:

Skin: E21-51-50 and E93 for her cheeks

Hair: E 55-53-51-50

Flowers and balloon: WR 24-23, Y35-32

Red details and her dress: T5, E19-07

Brown on dress and headband: E55-33-42

Glossy Accent on her glasses

Hope you survived all the photos and my poor english, lol

Hugs
