BOW FRONTED CARD

This is another bow fronted card. I have perfected this and instead of cutting a slit and a flap you now punch a hole in the same place on the slit panel and throught both the front and the other panel. Set eyelets and thread ribbon through the holes tie in a bow. This is stronger than the flap and slit.
