Design Basics 101 - Tying Knots & Bows

The above card is for those that aren't interested in the videos.  It is a super simple Father's Day card.  I used Taken With Teal for the card base and ran the lower third of the card through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder.  I then added some Designer Series Paper from the Throughly Modern Collection. Next is some Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon (see the videos below for tying). Then I cut out a piece of Shimmery White & Chocolate Chip Card Stock  using the Lots of Tags Die for the Big Shot. I then stamped the greeting from Well Scripted (Occasions Mini) in Chocolate Chip ink on the Shimmery White piece. Next, I took the Chocolate Chip die cut and cut it in half. I used adhesive to position it one half slight above and one half slightly below. This give the effect of layering. I then added some Chocolate Chip 5/8" brads to the top and bottom and adhered it with dimensionals. That's it!

Now onto the videos. The last couple of videos I posted have had a great response.  I have been thinking for awhile about doing a series of videos on Design Basics.  Since the previous videos were such a big hit, I am planning to follow through with that idea.  I will be calling the series Design Basics 101.  That should help you find all of the videos in the series.  Any other videos I do will have their own title.  Please let me know what you think of this idea and what other things you would like to see videos on.

Since I use so much ribbon on my cards and because it is one of the biggest questions I get, I thought I would begin with tying knots and bows. Below are 4 different videos.  

The First: Tying Basic Knots

The Second: Tying Knots with Printed Ribbon (only on one side)

The Third: Tying Basic Bows

The Fourth: Tying Bows with Printed Ribbon
