Happy holidays - a free project tutorial for you (bows for gifts)

   

Hope that your holidays have been fun and you have been able to enjoy company with your family and friends!  Even though I have had some medical issues going on, I continue to try and do my clog dancing and line dancing classes along with crafting - I really love dancing to Christmas music!!  Just finishing up my Christmas cards....are you almost ready for Christmas?  

Wanted to share a project tutorial with you - it makes this beautiful puffy bow with cotton paper!  Above is the picture and here are the directions; it uses items from the Eden's Garden by Stampin' Up and cotton paper item #159997/$8 for 10 sheets (With a feel similar to tissue paper, the cotton paper offers a unique way to add dimension and visual interest to any paper project. Or, use it to wrap gifts for special occasions! Cut, rip, wrap, crinkle, or fold, there’s no limit to what you can create! However, there is a limit to how long this paper will be available. It’s only available while supplies last!)   10 sheets: 5 each of 2 colors; 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm).  Product colors: Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent

Bundle: Eden’s Garden
Paper: Basic White CS, Scalloped Kraft Box, Ever Eden
DSP, Ever Eden Cotton Paper
Ink: Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent ink pads
Accessories: Gold Shimmer Ribbon
Adhesives: Tear & Tape
Tools: Tailor Made Tag dies, hobby blade
Tips/Tricks:  Cut a 2” wide strip of the Evergreen cotton paper. Apply a strip of Tear & Tape on the top of the length of the strip, then apply a strip on the bottom on the other side. Use
the hobby blade to cut slits from top to bottom (width) between the strips of the Tear & Tape. Then peel the backing off one strip and fold over to make a loop. Peel off the other backing and roll to create the puff.
