Cards with Sparkle!

Hello Everyone!

Every girl needs a bit of bling and most certainly, a little bit of bling on a card, goes a long way!!
The Glimmer Sprays are also a great way to add some sheen and shimmer to that special card.

On this card I used the beautiful Bronze Glimmer Spray, along with the stickable stencils to create the backdrop for my centre piece die-cut and floral spray. I used a light patterned paper, so that the spray stencilling would really stand out.

This is a close-up of the stenciling and glimmer spray effect.  It just adds another pretty dimension to this card.


The second card I created is a Birthday card and again I used the Glimmer Sprays to add a lovely, little dimension of bling and lace border to this card. I used the Bronze first and then added some Gold over the top of that.

I used a stickable stencil to create the lace border. I love that it is crisp and detailed.

Mini Album Madness!

Hello Bo Bunny fans, it's Gabrielle here with you today to share with you my latest project using the Bo Bunny Souvenir collection and new Bo Bunny Glimmer Mists.

Travel Mini Album by Gabrielle Pollacco

 While I'm a scrapper that has created a large varieties of projects over the years, mini-albums is something that I've not often done.  You know how sometimes you have a bunch of photos from a trip or outing that you'd like to get scrapped?  Mini albums are the perfect solution.  And they don't come any easier that using one of the Bo Bunny mini's.  They already have beautiful background designs, all you have to do is get out your coordinating embellishments and some papers from a 6x6 paper pad (for matting), and you can quickly and easily put together a beautiful keepsake.

I love these pic's of my two daughters and their cousin the last time they were at their cottage.  They always have fun things to keep them busy.  I liked the vivid colors in the Souvenir collection, I thought they were a nice compliment to the photos.

My family cannot travel anywhere without taking detours to, check out a waterfall, or check out a little shop or street fair.  Takes us a while to get there but we have fun along the way.  Here I used some pre-cut die pieces from the coordinating Noteworthy set for Souvenir.

It's so nice that my brother's place is on the water, they can spend their time boating, wake-boarding, tubing, water skiing. The girls have so much fun with their cousin at the cottage...me?  I like to relax on the dock, soak in some sun and take the photos!

They also have a nice time when we are having rain and downtime.  Playing cards, games, watch movies, or just play games on their phones.  I used these to pages to add a little journaling.

Most of our little walks and outings as a family will end up in some cafe or little out of the way coffee shop.  Here I used some of the new Bo Bunny ink pads with a soft make-up sponge to create some background designs for behind my photos.  I love to add a little texture as well with some snippets of fabric/burlap.  Then add some Bo Bunny Jewels, buttons, stickers and blooms and your book is done!  I literally got this album done in one evening!

When I completed my album I used Bo Bunny's new Gold Glimmer Spray on all the blooms and embellishment clusters on the cover and throughout the album.  I love this stuff!  It adds a subtle yet magical tough to your page embellishments!

Going Neon with Glimmer Sprays!

Hello there BoBunny fans, Bernii Miller here with you today. Welcome to today's post on using the new BoBunny Glimmer Sprays on your Misc Me layouts. The last Misc Me spread that I made for the blog was all about my little girl using the adorable Madeline collection. Just perfect for any little princess.

Love you Hucky Bear Misc Me layout by Bernii Miller using BoBunny Glimmer Mists.

 But this time I wanted to complete a layout about the little man in my life and wanted to create it with a more grungier feel suitable for a boy layout. 

Love you Hucky Bear Misc Me layout by Bernii Miller using BoBunny Glimmer Mists.

I focused on using only 3 of the new glimmer mists Tutu, Frost and Mint. Those three colours in particular just hail to the new neon craze that is everywhere at the moment and it really inspired to me create this more grungier type spread. I also used the new stickable stencils on each card, and once they were dry I either splashed on contrasting glimmer spray or used my black fine tip pen top outline some of the shapes. 

Love you Hucky Bear Misc Me layout by Bernii Miller using BoBunny Glimmer Mists.

I also wanted to re create the chalkboard look and achieved this by using some double dot cardstock and a white tip pen. I made sure that each little pocket has some of the black cardstock present by either using it to back my photos or to actually frame the cards. 

Here are the close up pictures to both sides of my Misc Me spreads.

Fly Away with Glimmer Sprays!

Today's off the page project is a beautiful canvas using our yummy mixed media!

Spread your wings and fly away by Ulrika Wandler

My OTP project is a canvas, and I love working with them! I also love Glimmer sprays, and they are perfect to use on canvases.

Spread Your Wings And Fly Away Canvas by Ulrika Wandler using BoBunny Madeleine Collection

You start off with priming the canvas with gesso.
After that you can add Glimmer sprays in several different ways. Spraying or splashing for instance.
I  used Bronze Glimmer spray together with a stencil to make the pattern on the lower left side and the upper right side of the canvas.

I used the Gold Glimmer spray on the paper with the birdcage on it.

On the blossoms I used Gold Glitter paste.

Glimmer Sprays on Canvas!

Hello friends! Today we have a beautiful canvas by Agnieszka!

 Golden canvas by Agnieszka Bellaidea

Happy canvas by Agnieszka Bellaidea using Star Crossed Collection

Today I wanted to show you my first project for Bo Bunny in November. I made also a little tutorial with my canvas. Later on I will have two cards and layout.

I used papers, stencils, mists, stamps, flowers and chipboards from BoBunny.

I was really a pleasure to work with all these products. I am planning a new class and I am thinking about creating something similar again.

First I had to gather all supplies from BoBunny, I wanted to keep my colors combo in gold, blue and black.

 1. Using gesso and stencils I created texture on my canvas.

2. I used mist but since I wanted a lighter shade of blue I mixed some with white mist.

 3. After, I attached a part of music notes I stamped several times the same motive.

4. Next I added two strips of paper and used different stencil, first time with gesso on one corner...

 ...and then only with mist.

5. I had no so pretty plastic green frame so first I painted it couple of times with gesso...

 ...and then with blue and gold mist.

6. I liked the mix of two colors together.

Gorgeous, Glistening Glimmer Sprays!

Hey BoBunny fans! It's Lisa here today sharing a layout using simple techniques for your glimmer misting pleasure! I am the type of scrapper who enjoys using lots of pattern and layering within my papers so I tend to use my mixed media work as an enhancement to my page rather than the focus.  I love the pattern and color of the Wild Card Billiards paper. As you can see it's a busy pattern. I added a messy but not overpowering splattering to the background with a combination of Bronze and Frost mists.

Tune Up - Lisa Novogrodski

Tune Up Scrapbook Page by Lisa Novogrodski using BoBunny Wild Card Collection

I just dip my paintbrush directly in the mist bottle and then splatter or I water it down a bit by spraying some on a craft mat and then spritzing with water. I also push my stamp into it on the mat and then stamp.

 Scrapbook Page by Lisa Novogrodski using BoBunny Wild Card Collection

 I tore a piece of cardboard and peeled off a layer then misted with the Bronze Glimmer Mist then just dabbed a bit of red acrylic paint here and there. The Bronze mist is my favorite color so far. What's yours?

Tune Up Scrapbook Page by Lisa Novogrodski using BoBunny Wild Card Collection

I don't mind a bit of splatters on my photo especially if I'm using something vintage. I also like it to hit my flowers and leaves to make them more interesting!  I also love the contrast between the grungy cardboard, masculine photo and the sparkly jewels. BoBunny has it all!

I've got a few more close ups on my blog. Stop by and take a peek.
