loopy bow builder

Christmas is almost here, which means presents will soon be arriving… so I spent some down time getting a jump on Thank You cards. I thought it was a sweet touch when I saw Betsy had added a “For The Gift” stamp to the Tagged Elegance stamp set, and knew I wanted to use it on today’s cards.

These cards are completely inspired by Betsy’s beautiful cards she shared during the All Wrapped Up reveal a few weeks ago. I die-cut colored card stock with Ribbon Maker: Petite Scallops Die, and made a clean and simple background by adding three strips from the same color family to a light cream panel. Since I had a lot of circles left over from making Round About Winter Foliage wreaths, I used them to stamp the sentiment onto. I hand-stamped the sentiments with black ink, and attached them to the panels. The panels were put onto card bases, then I moved onto making Loopy Bows.

I made several bows with the Loopy Bow Builder Die, and picked 2 for these cards. I love putting these bows together. Each bow has its own character, and I think that’s so clever! I put a red bow on the green card, and a green bow on the red card.

I still have more thank you cards to make, and I will be using this layout for all of them. Whenever you’re looking for inspiration, don’t forget about The Greetery’s Look Books. Seeing other crafters creations can really help inspire ideas, like Betsy did for me with these cards! 

That’s all that I have for today. Have a very Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year!
