Use a Bow for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #213 on the 5th of November, 2024

 

Today is my Father's Birthday! So Happy Birthday Dad/Grandpa!

Anyway, for this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

Use a Bow

I was trying to make one of the cards from the Birthday Card Workshop by La-La Land Crafts, but I ran out of time! However, I did manage to finish the front of the card!

So, here is my card:

I die cut the present from the Large Present with Bow Die from La-La Land Crafts from both a piece of the Celebrate Paper Pack (which is no longer available) and also from blue cardstock.

I stamped "Happy Birthday" from Happy Birthday Clear Stamp Set by La-La Land Crafts using my MISTI and Nautical Blue Memento ink. 

I die cut the bow from glittery gold cardstock.

To make the card, I adhered the blue cardstock present, including the frame and then the stamped Celebrate paper present on to a white square card from Envelope Solutions.

Then I adhered the gold bow together and then on top of the present.

 Here is another photo of the card:

So on to my card this week!

I have done something different this week - no colouring!

I have put together a paper tole topper from Forever Friends Kraft Notes - I think I bought the pack from a really cool craft store down in Tasmania. I used some 3D adhesive foam squares from my stash. Then I have used a square of paper from the same pack. I highlighted the edges of both using Summer Sky Memento ink.

The Merry Christmas ribbon and the little ribbon bow are from an American Crafts Christmas double-sided ribbon pack that I have in my stash.

There is inspiration from both the Icicles and the Snowflakes DT on the Winter Wonderland blog, so please pop over to everyone's blog by clicking in their name. We always appreciate a comment or two! :) Also you can find out what other challenges are out there, which could give you ideas!
