Fab News at Craft-Dee Bowz

BIG NEWS...BIG NEWS!!

Craft-Dee BowZ has decided to make your shopping a "one stop" retail experience! 

With a limited start, you can now purchase not only your Craft-Dee BowZ Tool and Ribbon-Ade from Craft-Dee BowZ, but also...are you ready?  Die-cuts too!!

Initially, there will be a limited selection of die-cuts available in the Craft-Dee BowZ Store located at the top of the blog under "The Store" tab.  Not only is this exciting news, but they will be offered at a 10% discount no matter who the manufacturer, what the size, or cost.  Craft-Dee BowZ has been working diligently to create a more affordable shipping charge and feels it has come up with the very best.  They will be shipping USPS (Domestic only...sorry no sales outside the US) for a fee of $4.95 which covers shipping from 1 to 4 dies maximum in one shipment.  Fees will go up with 5 or more.

So, on to the exciting new inventory!

The first dies to be carried in the Craft-Dee BowZ Store are hard to come by because they are European and sold in very few places, especially retail.  Drum roll, please.......Craft-Dee BowZ will be offering the NEWEST holiday die-cuts from SUE WILSON DIES!!  How exciting is that?  Her dies are incredible because of all the "surprise" edges, so they have a much more intricate cut than you would expect.  You can check out her videos on You Tube under Creative Expressions Sue Wilson.

Craft-Dee BowZ will be ordering dies on a regular basis and notifying you via newsletter and Facebook when new stock is available.  So, be sure to sign up for the Craft-Dee BowZ Newsletter and follow them on Facebook for up to date news on current dies.

As a reminder...there are limited supplies available, so don't waste any time!  Get over to the Craft-Dee BowZ Store and make your purchase now.  You won't want to miss this opportunity!

The sentiment and rose are embossed with silver wow powder and are a stamp set from visible image.The inside of the card has been decorated toousing the same acetate.The large heart aperture and silver heart frame around it in the centre was created using sizzix dies.The heart shape that swings in the middle has been made using cheery lynn dies.
I used my trusty Craft-Dee BowZ Bow maker to make the delicate organza bow, it is my go to bow maker as it is so easy to use

A Birthday card for Friend

Hi all
Here is a birthday card i made for a friend.After seeing all the new die range featuring fuschias from heartfelt designs i had a go at creating my own fuschias using dies i had already bought from Britannia dies and i don't think they look too bad even if i do say so myself lol.
I used craftwork card papers .Circle  and scalloped circle nesties,an 8x8 card blank .a spellbinders rectangular fancy die on the inside.The sentiment on the inside is actually a pre printed craftwork cards insert which i die cut to fit the frame.The leaves are made using a sizzix die and the flowera rae made using craftwoek card papers and a britannia flower die.The ribbon is from my stash and i used my Craft-Dee BowZ bow maker to form the bow you can find out all about it HERE 

.The pins i made myself and there is a very basic tutorial HERE to show you how to make them for yourselves.The gem centre is from wild orchid.
