Wrapping Paper Bows With The Big Shot

Happy Friday!!!!  I actually had today off.  Albeit, this is the first time since 7:30 this morning that I've sat down :-/  Oil change at 7:30, Michaels, Wal-Mart, PetSmart, eCheck (stupid emissions thing we need to do here in Ohio), renew my car registration, Hobby Lobby, Dunkin' Donuts (Iced Coffee... YUM!), home, video tutorial, Sam's Club (tomorrow is Pumpkin Roll day here at Chez Rosie), and finally home again.  Phew... I'm exhausted!  Sad thing is I still have a boat ton of work to do tonight (upload a photo shoot to have prints done, finish dinner, get the kitchen ready for tomorrow, just to name a few), and I'm praying I can keep up steam.


I got this really cool die a few months back when I got my Big Shot and I knew exactly what I was going to use it for.... Christmas gift bows! 


What you'll need:
  • Big Shot/Cuttlebug
  • Sizzix Create-A-Bow Bigz Die
  • Brads (any will do)
  • Scrap of cardstock/chipboard/acetate
  • Paper-backed double-sided tape (Terrifically Tacky Tape, Red Line Tape, etc)
  • Hole Punch (I used my Crop-A-Dile)
  • Wrapping paper of your choice
I'm planning on breaking out all the wrapping paper over the next couple of weeks and making a bunch of these for my holiday gifts this year!



Thanks for visiting, and if you have any questions, just let me know!
