A fun Gift Bow video tutorial for you today. It’s a die and paper bundle, the first time we have had one of those and it’s a winner! You’ll find it on page 39 of the Autumn-Winter catalogue, it is called Take a Bow.
The papers will be perfect for Christmas, the colours are Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Garden Green and they are a mixture of spots and stripes with a few holly leaves mixed in.
I’ve figured out that you can cut 2 sheets of 6” x6” patterned paper at the same time, which is the perfect amount to make one Bow. Do check your die cutting machine first to make sure it will work.

In the video I got really excited about the cat images, did you see them? Or is it just me? AND the bunting! As promised I made a simple Christmas card, but what a great way to use up those scraps.

Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.
It was our 35th Wedding Anniversary yesterday, so Brian and I are off adventuring this week. We are also, a drum roll please, starting the bathroom, eeek! I’ll be popping in to check on things and emails and I’m so looking forward to the Wonderful Water Colour with Inks workshop later this week.
I’ll be creating live again on Tuesday 17th September, both on Facebook and Youtube, I hope to see you then!
