Here is my step by step guide on how to make a fake bow. First, a fake bow is sometimes needed when you want to add a bow behind paper and don't want to knot make it too big or bulky.
1. Lay your ribbon down flat.
2. Pull one end over to go pass the other end and create a loop. Use finger to hold down at the center.
3. Take that top loose end on the left and create a loop. Again, use finger to hold down at the center.
4. Pinch in the center where the ribbons cross and play with the loops and ends until the size is what you want it to be.
5. Lay it on the back of the paper you are attaching it to and put dimenionals over the center to attach to the paper and hold it down.
6. Flip over to see your finished fake bow look.
You can watch me make the fake bow at minute 36:00 on the video below.

Glue on the little hearts.
Make a double bow and attach to the stems with a glue dot.
Embellish with the heart peals.
This card shows how you can create that big floral heart using two inks.
I just love the saying for the inside of this card but you can change it to say whatever you want in the inside.
I created a "faux" bow with the Gingham Ribbon and show you how in my video.
This embossing folder was made so that you could have your citrus shapes embossed and with the option to die cut them out as well.
My tip is to stamp first on your nice flat cardstock and then embossed and lastly die cut out. This will help with proper lineup and is is always easier to stamp on a flat surface instead of an raised embossed one.
Because the citrus shapes are a cluster of 4 stamps together, you can die cut them out (all 4 of them) at the same time with the cluster of dies as well.
*Bonus Tip, use your Stamperatus for perfect line up and ink coverage each time. Emboss some scratch paper and use that to help line up where you should place the stamps to line up just right with the inked images.
