I used the Simply Wonderful Sale-A-Bration exclusive stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create a little bow tie card to share today.
My card design was inspired by Mojo Monday #379.
I started by embossing a panel of Sahara Sand card stock with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder. I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Soft Suede card stock then to a Coastal Cabana card base with with SNAIL.
I adhered two panels from the Best Year Ever DSP (Sale-A-Bration item) to panels of Soft Suede card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL.
I adhered a strip of Soft Suede card stock to the card front with SNAIL punched the bow from Soft Suede card stock with the Bow Builder Punch. For quick assembly, use your Bone Folder to round the two side pieces of the bow, then adhere everything together with Glue Dots. The bows go together really quickly that way!
I colored the sentiment from the Simply Wonderful stamp set with Coastal Cabana and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped it on a Whisper White panel. I punched the sentiment out with the Extra-Large Oval Punch and adhered it with SNAIL to an Extra-Large Oval Punch from Soft Suede card stock, then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered a strip of the Best Year Ever DSP to a strip of Coastal Cabana card stock, then to a Whisper White panel inside the card.

These colors look AMAZING, Amy! I’m in love with this dp and can’t wait to get my own! Your card is very tailored….the bow making it extra special! I like how you added another small piece of brown oval under the sentiment. I always love the way you finish off the inside of your cards, so I’ve added a little more to the insides of mine too! Thanks for your tips~
Thanks so much Roberta! I love this designer paper too. 🙂 The colors are some of my favorites and I’m using it on everything! Glad that you like peeking at the inside of my cards too.
Love your card! So pretty…Gina F
Thanks Gina! 🙂
I love this paper and your layering! The bow just sets off the whole card! Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards with us so we can learn.
Thanks so much for stopping by to leave a comment! I appreciate it. 🙂
So very beautiful Amy! I love how you used the bow builder punch to create that bow! You really are the queen of layering! You make it all look so pretty!
Thanks so much Nada! Glad that you liked my card. 🙂
I love your choice of colors. I was on the fence about the bow punch but Amy The Enabler has struck again!
Thanks Terri! That Bow Punch is definitely a must have. 😉
Amy, I love your layers! Especially how you embossed the polka dots, it’s those details that really make your cards so special 🙂 I am having a hard time resisting that bow punch too, lol. Thanks for another beautiful card, I’m still wading (s.l.o.w.l.y) through all your other “want to make” cards 😉
Thanks so much Jill! The bow punch is just too cute and it’s so easy to use. It’s definitely a must have item. 😉
Absolutely fabulous. That paper bow is just perfection. Thanks for playing along with Mojo Monday!
Thanks so much for stopping by to leave a comment! 🙂
