Beautiful Dreamer Cards!

Beautiful Dreamer cards by Keri Babbitt

This card trio uses the soft, nostalgic colors of the Beautiful Dreamer collection, with a big, bold pop of Black Gesso.

For the first card, I layered a silver glitter paste circle underneath the black gesso image.  This is a quick and easy way to add a special handmade touch to a simple card.

For the second card, I dry-brushed the gesso over the background stencil, and then layered pearlescents and glitter paste on top to soften it up and give the card a shimmery sheen.

For the third card, I made feather accents with gesso, pearlescents, and vellum.  The gesso naturally curls the vellum slightly, which is perfect for these delicate feathers.

Crackle Paste Album Cover!

Soiree Crackle Album Cover by Lynn Shokoples

Good Morning Everyone! Today I am so excited to share a project using the new White Crackle Paste. This is one fun mixed media product and the possibilities are endless on how you can play with it!

The first step in creating this album cover was that I laid out all my embellishments first on the black Misc.Me album. Then I traced around them to know the areas I needed to crackle. The next step was preparing the surface of the album with the Crackle Paste Primer. You need a small amount and it spreads like butter! After it dried, I took my palette knife and spread on the crackle paste. I don't suggest heating with a dryer, you just have to put it on and then watch it dry... patience is not my strong suit, lol. I let it dry overnight and was so anxious to wake up to see the crackle! I then took my Emerald Ink Pad and the Rough It Up Stamp and added some color and dimension. For some added shine, a little Glimmer Spray in Tutu did the trick. All that was left was tacking down the embellishments. A fun and easy project that looks complicated!!

 

I really loved how the black of the album snuck through the crackle. You are really going to have fun with this product! I can't wait to crackle something else! 

Thanks so much for joining me today! Hope to see you on our Facebook page!

Egg-cellent Easter Egg!

Easter Egg by Ulrika Wandler

Hi! Ulrika here for a simple tutorial on how to use the fabulous black crackle paste!

 

I used a papier maché egg, and I started with priming the egg with the smoothe crackle paste primer. Don't be shy! Let dry until it's not sticky. Then apply the crackle paste, and don't be shy now either!

The BoBunny palette knifes are excellent to use, but mostly on flat surfaces. For this round egg I used a brush and a foam applicator.

Let the black crackle paste dry, and watch it crackle! :-)

I wanted to add something around the egg, and I made a ribbon using the gorgeous Beautiful Dreamer. I also used a few of the new fabulous craft dies and vellum paper to decorate my egg.

So now I have this beautiful special egg to put on my Easter table!

Dreamy Misc Me!

Dream - Misc Me by Tracee Provis

Today I will be sharing with you some Misc Me pages that I created for my Granddaughter's album. I always let her fill her own journaling in as it makes it much more personal for her. I used the Beautiful Dreamer Collection, which certainly lives up to it's name....it's gorgeous!

This collection doesn't cry out beach theme but it's easily adapted for any occasion you want. I fussy cut a little bird from one of the papers and placed him on top of the plastic pocket for a 3D look without adding too much dimension.

I used one of the large pieces from the Journal Contents Pack, and created a mini scrapbook page. I added a little torn Gold Foil Washi Tape and a coordinating sticker from the new Clear Sticker range.

I left a space for Star to write her journaling in, along with her 6 reasons why she loves the beach.

I adore the birds that are printed throughout this collection and I couldn't resist adding them to both of my pages. The tiny one on the left is another Clear Sticker from the pack along with the letters that spell out strawberry picking. I added some die cut viewfinders that I cut from the 6 x 6 Beautiful Dreamer paper pad.

As I said I do like to add some of my elements to the top of the plastic pocket. Here I fussy cut the gold frame and adhered it on top, underneath on the polka dot card is a secret message (you could also add another photo here if you wished). I am loving the way this album is turning out and I'm sure I will be back to share some more pages in the future.

Secret Garden Party Favors!

Hello BoBunny fans! It's Irene here. Are you all planning for any Spring parties? If yes, you've come to the right place. Today, I'm going to share with you all two little projects which you can easily create for your Spring parties.

I've used the gorgeous "Secret Garden" collection by BoBunny to create these projects.

Party Hat and Bag by Irene Tan

I've created a party hat for the host of the party and also a small party bag using this beautiful collection.

Here are some details on the party hat.

Besides this collection, I've also used the doodle blooms stamp set to decorate this party hat. If you have the time, you could also create tons of these hats for all the lady guests of your party. For this hat, I've done it a little different from the usual top hat design. I've left the top of the hat open and create a little garden in it.

And here are the details on the party bag.

I've kept the design of this party bag very simple. This way, it is very easy for me to create tons of it to put the party favors in for the guests.

Hope to see you all again soon!
