Gift Wrapping with Bigz Bow Die.

A very quick post on the Bigz Bow Die.
 My sister wrapped up MY birthday present in the wrapping paper you see here. 
I thought  it was too pretty to throw away so I have  recycled it by wrapping her birthday present in it, I figure she liked the paper enough to buy it for me so she'll love to get a present wrapped in it  :~)  

There are some beautiful images on this wrapping paper.
That would make fantastic stamps sets.

I have added  a big bow to this parcel using  the long since retired Sage Shadow card stock. It seemed to go with this paper better than any other colour in my vast stock of card And the Bigz Bow Die from Stampin' Up!

 First I cut 4 strips 3/4" wide and I inked the edges of the strips  slightly, then  the edges of the bow to make the card strips look as though it has the edges of a real ribbon. 

I added the bow to the centre of my faux ribbons and using a hot glue gun I applied the shank-less button to the centre of the bow,  just for a little glitz.

P.S If you want to know what's in the parcel...... I 'll only say it's a new S.U. product she'll love using.
