A watering can

Hi
It is Tracey here with my post for July ...The theme for the Dt this month is "Out of shape" which means we have made projects that are Not rectangular or square and we are to feature plaids or pastel colours..I fancied making something a little different than a card for you this month so i made this cute watering can using a fab template from Dreamies which has been on my shelf for a very long time   .. The papers are from My Minds Eye .The flowers are all hand made using matchingMy Minds Eye papers.The leaves are made using a cheery lynn die .The butterflies are made using a tonic die.The stamped sentiment is from Cardio.The scotts roses stamp is by trimcraft,,The pretty organza ribbon i have used came from my Mpp pack this month so thanks Donna ,it is lovely.I made the triple looped bow using my Craft-Dee Bowz bow making tool..such an fool proof way to turn out stunning bows time after time with ease

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!
