So, I was stoked to try out the multi-loop bow, but I will admit to quite a few (5! FIVE!) failures and several days of staring angrily at my card....because, as it turns out, embroidery floss is not my friend. At least not for this. Finally I switched to some hemp twine, and wah-la, awesome bow! And I love it, and I'm totally doing it again sometime.

That bow rocks! You need a bad-ass fibre like hemp to make a bow like that. No wussy embroidery floss for this job!
Fabulous bow!! I wish I could do this with seam binding, but it won't do it!! Love the DP.
Oh wow! That bow turned out pretty cool! Way to go on making that work! What a sweet card! So glad you played along with my guest Emily's challenge! :)
{clap, clap, clapping!} Jessi, you did it!!! I'm so glad you conquered your fear of the Bow Easy, 'cause you ended up with one OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD bow!! It is the star of the show on this sweetest-ever card. I'm so glad you gave it a try for my Guest Blogger challenge over at Do More With Less!!
awesome bow. awesome card. so there. ;)
Yeah for sticking with the bow! Isn't it funny that it worked with a different type of cording (I'm sure not very funny at the time!)? Thanks for the tut link, too. The card is so sweet!
Fabulous bow but it looks very complicated to me, Jessi!
I'm not great friends with my bow easy either but have to say never use it for twine!! Your multi loops look perfect from here, yep you certainly cracked it and it takes pride of place on your card too :0)
