Shoebox card using bow maker

This beautiful card was designed by my friend Bonnie! She brought all the 'pieces' to a recent gathering and 3 of us made our own card. The purpose of this design was to teach us how to use our new bow maker tool that Jane's husband, Bobb, made for us.
This may look too pretty to give away, but I'm a firm believer in sharing my cards with others. So some day in the not to distant future someone will be receiving this card.

New Tool - Bow Maker

Check out my new 'tool'. It is a bow maker.
It all started with my friend Bonnie... and just escalated from there. Bonnie found this design for a tool that would help with tying various types of bows. Her husband made her one of these and then Jane's husband copied Bonnie's and made one for Jane. Then Jane asked if we would want one and of course, I said yes because Bonnie's bows are the best!!
So now I have my very own bow maker.
Earlier this week a few of us got together so that Bonnie could teach us how to make our bows with this new tool. We started out slow and learned how to make a couple varieties. Bonnie will teach us some of the other varieties in the future. As for now... I need to practice!
