Have you had a chance to play with the French Bow yet(Sizzix Bigz Die - French Bow)? I guarantee if you love to make a splash at parties, this die will give the impression that you have some mad gift wrapping skills.
When cutting these dies in the Big Shot all you need is a pair of Standard Cutting Pads. Make a sandwich with your die and paper between the cutting pads and roll them through your Sizzix Big Shot machine.
Here's what my pieces look like after I cut them out. I cut some pieces instead of leaving them whole-I like to position them where I want and layer them as well.
See, when I start building my bows, I like having control of exactly where they sit, so I find that cutting them in half gives me that freedom.
When it came to putting a flower in the centre, I used these- they were perfect size. Sizzix Movers & Shapers Magnetic Die Set 2PK - Mini Tattered Florals Set. I cut out flowers that matched the box, then put a prima silk flower in the centre. Loved how it turned out!
PS, are you in love with this box too? It is what my Stella & Dot necklace came in. BEAUTIFUL box! How can I not regift it? Paired with the most gorgeous May Arts ribbon. I am a little sad, running out of this deli ate stuff.
Wanna see the crazy necklace I got in this box? You know me, big gaudy and over the top. Oh and the earrings too. LOVE this set. Strangest colour for me, but I wear the heck out of it!
Thanks for looking!
