Today my friend Vicki Chrisman is up. Vicki is probably one of the persons who influenced me the most in the beginning of my whole creative journey. She has an amazing style mixed with wonderful techniques and I have been an admirer of her work for almost 10 years now! Together with Catherine Scanlon and me – we are the trio that formed The Whatever’s Creative Storytelling Project. Vicki is also super sweet and I hope I will see her some time again!
Hello there, Vicki Chrisman here. I thought I’d share a little bit about myself with you. I’m a lifelong Nebraska girl, born and raised here.. I live here with my husband of almost 32 years. We have to grown sons Weston and Jarad. We also have two dogs that we spoil terribly. I have been incorporating art into my life for as long as I can remember. Creating is defiantly my passion . I’m proud to design for Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage, Fancy Pants Designs, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, and Tattered Angels. I have a number of my own die designs with AccuCut Craft. I always enjoy any opportunity to share my love of scrapbooking and papercrafting with others through teaching and on my blog. I’m excited to be sharing with you here for Creative Jump Start 2013. Huge thanks to Nathalie Kalbach! Here’s to a fun and creative year ahead.

I’ve never used die cuts before. That’s something my wife would use. The shadow box one really looks interesting, though.
What a lovely giveaway! I didn’t know AccuCut before today, but those dies very nice (love the album builder birdhouse), and the bow die is very neat! Shame though that I own a Sizzix Big Shot…
To be honest I’m not sure I would get much use out of the new bow die but I really, really wish I could afford to buy one of the alphabet sets. I’m really enjoying typography at the moment and am always looking for new easy ways to create letters.
The canvas bows are SO super cute! I have quite a few nieces and I’d definitely use them for gifts I make for them! Thanks so much for sharing.
Cool giveaway! I wasn’t familiar with AccuCut before this post, but I think the dies look awesome! And that bow die is just the cutest!
Oh yes, I would love to play with these dies once, LOL!

Thank you, Vicki, for sharing. Love your dies. I appreciate the steel rule type because they allow you to cut so many different things.
Vicki, thank you for the chance in the giveaway and your video. I never thought of so many uses for a bow die. I love AccuCut dies and own several but I never would have thought to buy a simple bow design but WOW it is a truly versatile die. Thanks for sharing what IMAGINATION does in this art world.
Cute bows, great ideas, thanks for the chance to win 🙂
Very cute bow, lots of great ideas, thanks.
Love love love the bows!!
The die is really cute. I like the idea of making a bow for my daughter’s hair.
I’ve never used Accucut Dies before… but you can bet I will now. Love the bows!
super die!
the bow die is awesome! I was on the fence until I watched the video and saw what awesome bows (and how easy they are) it could make. Love it.
This bow die is cute. Love your other dies (shadow boxes, recipe album, and cupcake stand) also. Really nice projects you’ve done on your blog!
Love the die! I can see many uses for it. The CDs also look interesting.
love the bow die but adore the shadow box frame. Thankyou for your video. Anne x
I really like the bow tie die, I saw it on someone’s CHA sneak peek or virtual tour but didn’t realize you could use it to make a hair bow, love that idea. Of the dies featured on Accucut’s website right now I have to say my favorite is the Shadowbox Landscape, can see tons of possibilities with that one!
That bow die is too cute! And thanks for the reminder that we can use our dies to cut out of more than just paper – adds texture along wit the shape.
Must have that die! Truly fabulous!!!
Omg, I love this Bow die! I can’t wait to get it!
What a cute idea!
love this die!
Wow, loved that die to cut bows. They’re wonderful. Is true that some dies are 12*12 at accucut. Never seen this before, Thanks for sharing your ideas 🙂
I am so bow challenged! This would be a perfect solution!
This is fun. So many things you can do with it !
Adorable die. So much easier than trying to make your own bows. The cd’s look great too 🙂
I love the Accucut Bow Die. Great fun to cut bows out of acetate to ink and custom decorate. Thank you for sharing.
Cute die, I can see lots of uses for it other than just bows.
I love this bow die. I love bows but It’s hard for me to tie them. This die would be perfect tool to help me. And paper bows are much more adorable then ribbon bows 🙂 I think I also need Vicki’s Shadow Box dies. Love them!
These papers are magnifiques.Vicki, your nodes are beautiful, very feminine and what posiibiités varying paper, textures … I discover.
Cute bows – they are lovely on layouts as well as a great extra touch for gifts. Awesome giveaway 🙂
I can’t think of any other word than AMAZING!
Liked it a lot! Amazing ideas…
I’ve been a fan of Vicki’s for quite some time.Love the dies-and those texture plates are amazing.I have to find me some.
Does that Bow Die fit other die cutting machines other as I don’t own that brand… I have so many ideas running through my head to use that cool cool die 🙂
It is so nice and inspiring to see/hear from a fellow Nebraskan! Thank you for sharing! If I owned a die-cutting machine I would be a proud owner of that bow die. It is such a neat idea! I’d use bows on everything! I think it would actually be a sweet detail to baby cards and books. Possibilities are endless!
I can see using that little bow for a tuxedo on a wedding card – do it in a black satin fabric and add a stiffener to the back of the fabric before cutting – brilliant!
Lorena
WOW!!!! I love that die cut. My darling Miss Seven has already put in a request for me to make her a canvas bow hair clip!! Fantastic idea!! 🙂
As someone who is bow-challenged, I am super excited about this new die! Can’t wait to get one of my own.
Thanks
I first used dies in school in creating bulletin boards. Since retiring, I haven’t had the chance to use dies, but I love your bow ties die. The ties would be great covering a gift box.

This is my first exposure to your products. Will look for more. The bow is so neat and will be used a lot. Thank you for sharing.
I adore your die designs, one of my favourites are the shadow boxes! This is a great idea, I often handcut a similar bow from paper but I love having the basics made more simple and easier to use…and more versatile.

Thanks also to Crafty Secrets for the giveaway…I never knew about the CD’s
I like the new bow die. It makes making a bow easier. I have a hard time making bows and the die would make the perfectly every time.
Great bow idea….would use it often.
Making bows have always been tricky for me, but not anymore! Thanks for this great die!
Very nice tutorial. Thank you Vicki.
Vicky that is such a great idea for those of us that can’t put a bow together for the life of us. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Love your bow die and especially done with that textured “paper”. Those CDs look awesome. I had not heard of them before. Would love to win one!!!
Love the bows and how you used them. Would not have thought of using fabric or canvas, but after you did it, it became “Now why didn’t I think of that?’
Versatility, decoration and money saving too – what a great little die. Thanks for the demo and for the giveaway (here’s hoping to be lucky!)
Bows have always been a challenge for me , but i can do this ! Thank you
What a fabulous die! Will these work in the Sizzix Big Shot machine? Love the fact that there are two sizes for the bow. Perfect!
Oh dear, just looking at the bow die and the CDs, I’m drooling. Endless possibilities! I`d even give up my stash of chocolates for any of the CDs. They all look yummy!!!
I went over to AccuCut via the provided link. The shadow box dies look intriguing. I didn’t see the bow die, however.
Thank you for the video…new ideas. Thanks also to Crafty Secrets for the giveaway…I never knew about the CD’s…more new information.
I love the bow die, am never any good at making dies so would love to get my hands on this one.
I love bows, but have always had trouble making them. I’m so excited to have a fabulous tool to help me put perfect, pretty bows on everything. Thx.
Very versatile and a wonderful demonstration–thank you!
Can’t wait to get the bow dies — am wondering if they work with other die-cutting machines…..
cool die and great ideas! thanks!
Sweet, those bows. The possibillities are endless when using different papers, stamping and coloring. Lovely. I also really like that set of cd’s with lovely vintage stuff. Cute – cute – cute.

Super cute bow die cut! I can so see me using them to dress up gifts/gift bags! Great video! I had no idea about Crafty Secrets CDs w/ print designs! What a great concept!
Vicki great video! The bow die has so many uses and the two sizes makes it easy to use for many different kinds of projects.
It’s very pretty!! I like it!!
I really like the versitility of the die and the texture sheets.Lots of creative fun!
Fabulous video demonstrating creative ways to use the bow die. I particularly like the bow using canvas and making a hair clip. I have used AccuCut dies and they make nice crisp cuts.
This bow die is darling and I can see how my sewing friends would love it for hair bows to match the outfits they make. It would be great to make paper bows of various sizes and colors to give as gifts as well. I’m especially intrigued by the shadowbox dies though and will be looking for examples of their uses. Very talented lady. Thanks for sharing.
Cute bow!, I use several accucut dies, might have to invest in this one!
This is great! Thank you for the giveaway
Thank you for the great video!Oh I would love to win this prize! To be able to print out all these wonderful things would be awesome as I live in Honduras where very little is available in art or scrap booking products!
Very cool bow………….you could do so much with it…….endless possibilities!
I really like these dies…the bows are adorable.
Love the bow… Such a flexible die… It is now on my list of must haves!

I love the bow die. It is very versatile.
The bow is charming with many uses. Thanks.
love using dies , so quick and easy as sometimes its just to much work to set up my electronic cutter for just one project
Great video which has convinced me to start using dies. Have been dithering around for ages but you have inspired me to get on with trying something new and hang the cost!!
exciting! The bow is so cute and would be a great addition to any project!!
Oooohhh! I love-love-love the little bows! Especially how simple they are to make! Thanks for the demonstration. ❤
Hi Vicki, I love your accucut designs. They are always so useful. I must admit I had seen this one posted on a few blogs & did not think it was for me. I just can’t get into the look of paper bows. However, the canvas sheet demo won me over. I spend a fortune on hair clips, getting them to co-ordinate with outfits & keeping up with trends. I also loved the look with the texture templates to put on gift boxes etc…
I’ve never used die cuts. Is this my chance?
This bow die is so easy and fun! A must have in our collection. Thanks for the awesome ideas.
I like using bows on my cards but some days my ability to tie them is off. Vicki’s bow die would be perfect. It’s a must for my growing wish list.
The bows are very cute.
Great use of the bow die with all the different kinds of material!
Fantastic die !!!! I can use it with a lot of paper. I like the vintage and the result, the bow is very vintage.
This die is fantastic, great concept and I will definitely be able to use it on many projects!
I can see where the new bow die would come in quite handy for fabrics, too, and creating unique bow embellishments for crazy quilting!
I’ve rediscovered dies after being lured by electronic cutters and its the sheer versatility of the mediums that dies can cut that has me hooked! I love this bow die, my brain is already spinning with ideas of things I could cut with it and what I want to use them on!!
What an awesome die! Really cute bows!
I really like the bow die. The recipe die set is a really nice one too! Thanks for showing all the different things you can use to cut out the bows.
Ohh. That was so awesome. That die would make it so much easier!!
I liked the vintage design and wide variety. It can be used for many projects.
Love the new Bow Die! So much easier than trying to make by hand. Cool idea! Congratulations Vicki on your new products! Thanks for participating in this years’ JumpStart!
I like to use bows on many projects, with the new bow die they are so easy to make, a really must have.;-) .-) Written on my whishlist !!!
Thanks for the great giveaway
Fascinating–dies are a whole new domain for me so I was very intrigued. Thank you!
Very cute
I have never used a die before, but your video inspired me to take the plunge and invest. Thanks for the great ideas.
the bows are so cute what a great way to make many bows at one time.
Omg! I just love that die!!! Definitely going on my wish list!!
Fantastic! I love bows and have such a hard time making them…love this series as I am learning more than just techniques, but also artists to follow for inspiration and materials to explore. Thank you
Love all the mediums you can use the die with. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Love the bow, you could use that die to do lots of different things.
So after watching the video, I had to head right to my computer in search of that die! Thanks for inspiring creativity and enabling shopping! Xoxoxo
The bow die is great, I love how you use it for different materials.
The texture papers and the AccuCut’s new die….wow!! Different, innovative, Love products that are reusable and versatile! Thanks Vicki !!!
I love that Recipe album ! thanks for sharing jumpstart
Tried cutting by hand but the die is soooooo much faster and better. Thanks for making it easier and providing more time for fun.
wonderful dies Vicki, great for all kind of projects
the new bows look fabulous, and so easy to make
I am bow challenged so I think this die is now a must have. Thank you.
The bows are so cute and lovely. You can create a bow to match every style and a bow is never wrong. =)
OMG thats such an awesome Idea, I looked at the bow without the added under bit and was like that would be perfect to make bow ties for my bears with. We all always need bows for things. Just awesome and added to my wishlist.
When I was crafting last night I was trying to make a bow exactly like that from ribbon, but it was too bulky so I ended up with just the bottom strip lol. This is such a cool die – a definite must have for me! Great video – thank you :).
I really like the fact that the accucut dies save me so much time. I wish that the local stores would add to their inventory of dies that they make available in their workrooms. The stores close to me don’t appear to have added any in quite a while.
The bow die cuts are adorable. I really like that you can make fabric embellishments with it also. I loved your recipe album die cut, too – so cute. Thanks!
how cute is this die
This is a design I would use ALL the time.
thanks for sharing! I love the bow die, perfect bows every time!!
The bows are really cute and very useful.

I really like vicki’s box dies. The bow is something special as well. Great for making embellishements.
Adorable bows! And you could use them on so many things. I really liked how well the floral pattern printed on the canvas. Too bad my little one doesn’t like to have barrettes in her hair…..that little hair ribbon was so cute! Thanks so much for offering this generous giveaway!
These bows are so cute! I’d love to play with the shadow boxes, too!
The bows are very creative. Since I can’t tie a bow they would be perfect for me.
Oh those bows are adorable but I’d love to play with the shadow boxes from the range too
The bows make great little embellishments 😉 Love the texture sheets.
