It's a boy Airplane Card

Created this Clean & Simple CAS style It's a boy Card using New Arrival Cricut cartridge in blue colors.

Some of you may know I cannot ride a bicycle unless it is a Tandem Bicycle like hubby & I have but I can fly single engine planes so I chose the Airplane theme and the banner was perfect for stamping the sentiment.

Have 2 people I know that are pregnant and neither are going to find out the sex of the baby so I figured I'll make a boy one & then make a girl one also. Already made the Mommy to be cards. One is due in Jun & other in Oct.

I wanted to make a tiny blue bow but am not good at tying bows; especially not small ones. I have a Bow Maker that I bought online from Cathie Rigby but the smallest space for the pegs is 1" and I wanted a smaller bow with spacing of 1/2" so I got out some styrofoam and used the pegs from the Bow Maker and pushed them into the styrofoam with a spacing of 1/2". Not as easy to make & tie with that small of a spacing but was so pleased with the bow.

  7. Your bow looks great! I cannot tie bows for the life of me, so I guess I need to get a bow maker thing like you describe. Love the plane flying through the clouds-that would be very cool to actually be able to pilot a plane!!!!

  8. Great clouds on this! I watched a you tube video on how to make tiny bows using a fork! I never tried it. But it did make tiny bows! Carri~Abusybee

  9. cute card...I like the little plane and banner.
    I use a fork to make the teensiest of bows but I usually can tie them without the fork. Funny you mentioned this, though, as I just saw this little picture tutorial on tying the cutest little bows on Pinterest yesterday:

    I want to try those out at some point.
