All right Blog Friends!! Are you one of those who is get stressed every time you try to tie a bow? Well get on over here! I have a new bow that needs no tying and it’s simply too cute not to put on a card. You know me, I’m always looking for something different that I don’t see everywhere else, to put on my cards. Having said that, when you go to an occasion and the guys are all wearing suits and ties – they all blend in right? Then, someone shows up in a bow tie. Hey, don’t you always remember that guy? Today I have a no sew, no tie, bow tie that will hopefully make for a card that others will remember ;-)
For my card today, I was looking for something to send to some friends whose wedding I missed. So I reached in to my Quietfire Design “toolbox”, you know, the one that seems to have a stamp for every occasion (and sometimes they fit many). I pulled out one called Hand in Hand – isn’t it perfect? In a nutshell I layered Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG and SM on top of Spellbinders Labels Eighteen on top of Spellbinders Curved Rectangles. That combination of layers sits on top of two ruffled half medallions. The final touch is my No Sew, No Tie, Bow Tie. Different but good different, right?

Such a lovely card Becca. Great bow tie.
Marcie
Beautiful card. Elegant, marvelous, and very cute bow. Thanks for the tut.
This is elegant! And that bow is stunning! Thanks for the tutorial for such an easy gorgeous bow. I am ribbon & bow challenged, so this is great for me.
How fun!!! Thank You.
I love this! The bow tie will fit in with lots of masculine type cards. You are so smart Becca.
Beautiful card. Love your tutorials. Thank you Becca. I am going to try it.
Wow thank you so much for the tutorial on the bow tie and your card is gorgeous as always!!!
What a beautiful and different bow! And looks like it should hold up well in mailing. Thank you for sharing it with us. Your ingenuity amazes me.
Great idea…I have some wide ribbon that I didn’t know how to use on a card. Thanks so much!
Love the bow tie. And I have tons of fabric – ha!
Beautiful card and gorgeous bow. You never cease to amaze me at what you can come up with!!!
Becca, you are just soooo clever! What a gorgeous bow! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, thank you, Becca.
I keep trying to make all these pretty bows, this might be the one that works for me, off I go.
Beautiful card, the folks that receive this will frame it as a keepsake to cherish for eternity.
Blessings, Lori
It’s sort of like origami except you you adhesive! Thanks for the tutorial!
Stunning! Beautiful gold accents for this elegant card. I love the bow tie! Thanks for the tutorial.
What a beautiful card, Becca and a gorgeous bow. Thank you for the great tutorial.
wow, amazing, Becca… I think it would be a good project to have pieces precut to sit & put together a bunch, while watching tv or something. Then you’d have a whole stash of them, all ready to use!
Love it!
Gorgeous!! I’ve always admired your bows, and now there’s one I can actually make. Thanks for the great idea and the great tutorial.
Hi Becca,
WOW, another great idea!!! It is a way to use up your scraps of material.
You must think a lot in your sleep lol, I don’t think your creativity ever stops!!! Thanks so much for your wonderful idea’s and the tutorial.
Hugs to you!!
Awesome! Will be spending part of Sat. afternoon playing with this wonderful idea. Thanks!
I love the card and the way you layer multiple nestabilities- gives me such inspiration to use more than one on a card layout. Also love the bow tie- how appropriate for a wedding, too! Imagine all the fun colors you could use- might even be able to match the color of the bridal party! So many applications for that “bow-tie” bow. Isn’t double sided tape amazing! As a quilter, I know how much of a pain it is to sew on that type of ribbon fabric. Great tutorial, thanks!
What a great idea to use a bow-tie on a wedding card! I was going to use that same sentiment for my son’s upcoming wedding and now I can see using a bow to match their colours. Thanks for the continuing inspiration Becca.
You never cease to amaze! Beautiful card and great tutorial! Thank you for sharing.
WOW! How do you come up with this stuff?! You are so talented. Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely card and a cute bow tie! I have some scor tape, I’m gonna get busy! Thank you so much or sharing this concept!
I love your card and your tutorial! Now to find some 3 inch ribbon or find some fabric!
Wow! I think even I can do this!!
Gorgeous…..
and THANKS for ALL your tutorials…..
VERY good different, Becca! Posted a very simplified version of your Valentine Basket on my blog today! Thanks again for all your work on putting those directions all together; had to be a monumental task!!! Such a darling basket!!!
Thanks for the tutorial. Beautiful card!
very pretty, thanks for sharing, it looks like it may not be too bulky, good for a card sent through the mail!
Awesome bow — so pretty. Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea. I love it. I really appreciate you taking the time to video tutorials for your “visual” friends. :) It helps so much to “see” you make your creations. Thank you for your hard work!
Incredible! I will always remember this “guy in the bow tie”! :)
Your ingenuity continues to amaze me! I just can’t wait to try this bow. Thanks for sharing, the videos are a great idea.
Becca,
You’re ‘one in a million’ – your designs are always awe-inspiring! I love your creations and blog. God bless and happy new year!!
Pat
How in the world do you come up with such neat ideas!? This is great and really makes your lovely card pop! You are amazing! Thanks.
Becca,
I love this bow. Something new to add to my cards.
Thanks for the video
Chris
What a beautiful card!!! I’ve bought a lot of ribbon, but never seem to end up putting a bow on any of ny cards… it just never seems to fit. I’m not afraid of tying bows, though… I was always a “girly” girl and my mom taught me how to tie pretty bows when I was a kid. Love your bow tie though!!! I’m still trying to figure out an acronym in your description of your layering… it said “MS” and all I can think of is Martha Stewart! LOL!! I’m thinking you were describing how you matted the layers??? Is that your term for the small mats you do when you trace around the die and cut by hand???
Love the card and love the bow tie! How easy!! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!
God bless!
Becca, this is an absolutely lovely card. As always, your cards are perfection to the last detail. The bow tie is so pretty, and I can’t believe how easy it is to make. Thanks so much for your tutorial.
Thanks for sharing – I love it!
FABULOUS!!!!! this is such a fantastic idea and even someone that is all thumbs, like me, can do this…. Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic creativity
Great bow! And thanks for the great video. I am very visual and it helps me a lot. : )
What a great bow and thank you so much for the how to video. Your card is gorgeous as well. Thank you Becca.
What a wonderful bow! Thank you so much for the tutorial. Your work is always so beautiful. How do you get all of your paper cuts to be so straight and precise, especially when your underlying mat extends only an eighth or quarter of an inch beyond the focal image mat? No matter how careful I am or what paper cutter I use, mine never seem as perfect as yours do.
I love what you do with ribbon. You make it look so simple. It makes me feel that I can tie a bow just like you. Love all of your art.
Stunning card and a great tutorial. Thanks :)
I LOVE it! What a creation…so simple, and so beautiful. I can see how it would work with cotton fabrics as well…It gives me a great idea for quilt embellishments…even if I do actually sew it. I can see it done with some of the fancy stitches…yummy…Thanks so much :)
Wonderful new embellishment. I can see it working on masculine cards very well. I will be making a bunch of these and keeping them on hand for when I need a special touch for a card. Thanks again for your unending creativity, and willingness to share. LOL Kathleen
Totally Amazing Becca!!! Thanks soooooooooooooooo much for the tutorial! Beautiful card, by the way!!!!
Jan

Becca, once again I am amazed by your creations.
I seem to have gotten “blogged down”, reading so many blogs that I use up my play time. I plan to unsubscribe to many of the places where I hang out,
but keeping a very limited number of special places to visit, your place being #1 on the new list.
Love your work.
Awesome demo and beautiful bow!
