Stunning Enchanted Harvest Cards!
Today I wanted to share a couple of cards with you using the beautiful new copper foil transfers- I cannot get enough of these, they look so stunning when applied!
My first card Ive made for my BFF's birthday, she loves her garden so I thought this collection was perfect to create something for her :)
I wanted a subtle effect from the copper foil transfers, I didn't want it to overwhelm the overall effect. To achieve this I simply cut up one section of the filigree verse, into three different pieces and rubbed them on different parts of the card. This is perfect for making your transfers go further and created a bit of contrast to be base piece of paper.
My second card was made for a friends mum who is turning 89 and loves pottering in her wee garden.
This time I used the copper doily foil transfer. I've applied it to a plain piece of card stock and then fussy cut it out - I wanted it to be a part of the cluster, not blend into the background paper.
Enchanted Harvest matches the gold and copper foil transfers to perfection.
I have done a lot of fussy cutting on these cards. To give all the leaves and sunflowers dimension I've using an embossing tool to help curl the petals and define the leaves. Some are also layered up higher with chipboard giving a more layered look.

Mixed Media Tutorial!
Hello everyone, today I'm going to share another easy tutorial featuring some fabulous new BoBunny products. Last month I shared a tutorial featuring BoBunny washi tape paired with tissue paper. Today, I'll share a tutorial again using tissue paper, paired with BoBunny foil transfers. Foil transfers are great and can be applied to many different smooth surfaces, such as paper, acrylic, etc. Traditionally, though, the surface does need to be smooth, otherwise the transfer you're working with will tear and it would be impossible to apply it correctly. However, using tissue paper makes it possible to add transfers to uneven, mixed-media surfaces.
Step 1. Cover your surface with the medium you want. Here, I am making two cards, so I used BoBunny stencils, a BoBunny pallet knife, and BoBunny glitter paste for one card, and plain white crackle paste for the second card. Here I am making cards, but of course you could use this technique on any project.

Step 2. Next, apply your transfer to tissue paper. BoBunny foil transfers are very sturdy, making them easy to work with even with something as delicate as tissue paper.
Step 3. Next, simply cut out the transfers. Try to stick to the edge of the design so there's not too much excess tissue around the edges. Then, add the tissue paper with the transfer to your project using gel medium. I prefer matte gel medium (as opposed to glossy).
As you can see, once applied and dry, the tissue paper "disappears" into the background. I used a darker grey background for you to see how well this works. If you use a lighter or white background, the tissue paper will be almost completely invisible even more so.
You can clearly see how the foil transfer molds itself to the raised design on each card. Also, using the tissue paper help to ensure that the design ends up exactly where you want it to be, since you can move it around to desired position before letting it dry.
Step 4. That's it! Now you just decorate the card and have fun with it :)

1 Layout 3 Ways With Whiteout!
Hello everyone! It's Irene here with you all again. My assignment for today's post is to create a layout with three looks. However, it is hard for me to create a layout with three different looks. Therefore, I've decided to create a layout with three levels of difficulties instead.
For this assignment, I've decided to use the gorgeous"Whiteout" collection by BoBunny with the filagree gold foil transfers.
Here is the first level layout. It is a clean and simple layout. I've cut out various pieces from the pattern papers and try layering them to create a design that I want.

Let's move on to the second level layout. In this layout, I've added some paints, inks and rub-ons. I've added tons of bronze and gold glimmer sprays. To add some layers and details to the background, I've doodled some squares using a white gel pen and rub-on some gold foil scripts.
Here are some details on this layout.

You & Me & Misc Me!
You & Me Foever by Agnieszka Bellaidea

For my pages I used different papers from Love Lace collection and beautiful Copper Accents foils in ...yes, copper!
I also used stars from Copper Accents.
I like the look a lot!
It's so nice to cut out flowers from Love Lace collection and add them in to the squares.
It's so easy to make new pages with this collection!

Old Fashioned Christmas!
Hey friends, it's Sara here showing you three of my favorite things. The Sleigh Ride collection, Silver foil transfers and Snowflake laser cut chipboard. The woodsy, wintry feel of this line has me wishing for a good old fashioned country Christmas.
BoBunny Supplies:
Patterned Papers; Sleigh Ride, Logs, Pinecones, Tranquil and Wonderful
Chipboard: Sleigh Ride
Foil Transfers; Accents Silver
Jewels; Tuxedo
Laser Cut Chipboard; Snowflakes
Pearlescents; Silver
You can see in this close up how the Accents silver foil transfers shine and add the perfect finishing touch to any project. And who doesn't love a little extra pop to your projects!
In this picture you can see how I used the silver pearlescents on top of the laser cut chipboard to make it shine. First I brushed the pearlescents over the whole chipboard piece and when it was dry I dabbed a few drops to look like pearls on the tips of the snowflakes. I love how you can see the brown showing through randomly. You can achieve many different looks and feels with the pearlescents depending on how they are applied.
Thanks for joining me today, hope you have a fabulous day! Happy Scrappin' :)
