BoBunny Favorite Things - "Best of . . . PARTY GOODS!"

Hello and WELCOME to The BoBunny Blog today for a fun project  round-up of our

 "Favorite Things" - PARTY edition!

From time time to time, we will be showcasing some of what we feel are the "Best of the Best" ideas to inspire you to create all kinds of fun, crafty endeavors.  

Today, we have gathered some of our favorite, fun ideas for themed parties, favors, and decorations. 

With springtime just around the corner, this first idea is for a "Beachside" themed party with mermaid cupcake wraps, seahorse party favors and die cut doily coasters to carry the theme.
 Complete with sand and seashell decorations and dont forget the Salt Water Taffy!

If March Madness has hit your house, why not turn the atmosphere in your family room into a real SPORTS themed party!  This colorful party banner, party props and treat pics are the perfect way to bring the spirit of the game to your get togethers!

   

Next, we loved this party idea for "Party-To-Go".  Decorate your cupcakes with handmade toppers and wraps, customize the labels on your sodas, grab the boxes and take the goods wherever the party happens to be! 

   Leaving the best for last, we loved the "All-Occasion" flair of this party collection!  Wall fans, custom-made invitations, party props, decorations, treat bags and place settings!

Thanks for taking a minute to swing by today!  Stop by again for more fabulous BoBunny projects and for your daily dose of inspiration and papercrafting ideas!

Aryia's Garden and Liquid Metal from Pentart with Shizuka

Hello BoBunny friends! It's me Shizuka here.
Today I would like to share the Misc Me! pages I made with beautiful BoBunny Aryia's Garden collection and Pentart Liquid Metal Products.

Here is the first page.

I used the pictures of my children when we went for a walk with my friends in a rose park. The atmosphere of a beautiful park and this paper collection were perfect. I cut out on of my favorite patterns to fit inside the page pocket to use.

Pictures of big pockets are overlaid with patterns cut out from foil vellum paper and decorated with clear stickers , Double Dot Jewels and Chipboard. I like the feeling the sheer vellum paper and clear sticker very much

Things I pulled out with Heart's Craft Die are also very cute and a real favorite.  I combined layered chip board and  Noteworthy in this pocket.

I used the heart die cut from the craft die I used on the left page in this pocket instead of the stencil. Creative and crafty! 

After decorating each pocket, I apply a glitter paste randomly to each picture and paper and give a sense of unity by lightly coloring.

Here is the next page.

Here as well, after decorating pockets, it is lightly colored with glitter paste. In addition, I use Stickable Stencils and Gesso to add textures to photos and pattern papers to make the whole page unified.

It is the left page.

Pearlescents are given to the die of the frame that matches the picture.

It is the right page.

I applied  Pentart Liquid Metal to the same frame die used on the left page and made it an accent. This liquid metal will be finished like a real metal if it is painted solidly, but this time I spread it quite thinly to fade and finish it in a shabby look.  Loving the way it turned out

I hope you found some fun ideas and inspiration with this today.

Thank you!!

Shizuka

Aryia's Garden Tea Party with Amy

Hello Bo Bunny Friends!

Amy here! I feel very blessed to be able to use Aryia's Garden to show you how fun your next afternoon tea can be with a little decor for your table. I have created pinwheels and a sweet little letterbox.

I want to show you how easy a pin wheel can be. Cut one square piece of cardstock. Then cut from each corner, but not all the way into the middle. You can cut straight but you can see I have cut with a curve. Paste the left side of each pair into the middle of the pinwheel. You just need a little touch of adhesive to hold it all in place. I have used a gem in the middle once everything is secure.  Using a variation of this pattern, you can make many pinwheels,but with slightly different shape.  Be creative! You can use these as wall decor, or add a colorful straw as a party favor or place setting for your tea party.

I created a letter box to go in the middle of your table. I have painted the eaves of the roof with Pentart Liquid Metal in Gold.  As you can see there is some fun detail on the inside of the letterbox that ties in nicely with the colors of the pinwheels. 

I have clustered one side of the letter box with Noteworthy and chipboard.

Here is my Afternoon Tea decor. 

Stay Scrappy

Aryia's Garden and Pentart Wax Paste with Ayumi

Hello,

Your friend Ayumi Iwashita here. Today I will introduce two cards with Aryia's Garden collection from BoBunny with Pentart Chameleon Wax Pastes.

Aryia's Garden is a gorgeous collection that celebrates the arrival of spring. And the "Butterfly Kisses stamp" is full of beautiful butterflies of various sizes.I loved this stamp at first sight!

To create the beautiful butterflies, I began by stamping several of them on patterned paper and then fussy cut them out with scissors.

Next I painted them lightly with Pentart Chameleon Blue Wax Paste. It is shiny and very beautiful!

Here are some images of the finished project. Thanks for joining me today. 

Have a fabulous day!

Aryia's Garden and Pentart Wax Paste with Katherine

Hello BoBuuny fans, it's Katherine here with a Fine Art's Friday post using Aryia's Garden.  The colours are gorgeous, I focused on the fuchsia and oranges in this line and used a mix of Pentart products to compliment it.

Beautiful Life by Katherine Sutton:

For my base, I used the grey wooden floorboard style paper - Garden Petals.  To add some texture I started with the serenity stencil and texture paste, focusing on the areas around where my photo and embellishment cluster was going to be. Next, I mixed some of my Pentart acrylics. I used a mix of cream, gold and a tiny bit of red acrylic, the gold has a lot of shimmer in it.  I watered my colour mix down and applied it more like a watercolour, creating puddles of colour and then adding in extra bits of red to get a deeper orange area, finally a few flicks of the paint across the page.  The lovely thing about these paints is that even with water you still get the depth of colour.  My final layer before the papers was a little bit of stamping using the It is Written stamp set using black ink.

To create interest in my layers, I added some die-cuts - both the new Royal die-set and 4" Portrait Frames.  I embellished these in different ways - for the Portrait die-cut I added dots of gold pearlescent, and used chameleon green wax on the lock and keys.  The chameleon waxes have a gorgeous iridescent shine to them, they work particularly well on dark colours as it really stands out.  You only need a little bit and just rub it on and you get an instant shimmer - green in my case.  I then layered and distressed my papers.  Once I was happy with the arrangement I then added some of the 3D balls - attaching them with gel-medium and then colouring them with some watered down gold pearlescent.

You can see a cluster of embellishments using a mix of the chipboard and noteworthy pieces as well as one of the die-cut keys which has some wax on it.

A close up of the lock plate die with chameleon wax highlights, and some of the 3D balls covered in gold pearlescent.

For the bottom cluster, my focus piece was one of the 3D chipboards with a fleur-de-lis on it, you can also see the serenity stencil. 

Be sure to stop by again soon!

Aryia's Garden and Pentart Wax Paste with Kathi

Hello BoBunny Friends!

Kathi here to share with you  the 12 X 12 canvas layout using Aryia's Garden and Pentart Chameleon Wax Paste.

The photo above is the front view of the canvas layout. I used the Chameleon Wax Pastes to provide a faint blue hue that can be seen around the paper close to the edge, and I also used some of the wax on the paper over the exposed brick, 

 I used a lot of mixed media on this layout, from Glitter Paste to Glimmer Sprays. and also highlighting some areas with Pearlescents and also Wax Paste. I completed the look by embellishing with blossoms, dies jewels, brads and vellum. 

Using archival black ink, I stamped butterflies around the flower garden. The flower garden has a mixture of flowers from Aryia's Garden Chipboard, flowers cut from Aryia's garden paper using the perfect petals dies, and also BoBunnuy Blossoms.  The frames are from the chipboard collection colored with the Metallic Wax Paste and embellished with Pearlescent dots on the corners. 

Using archival ink with the Captured Stamp, I stamped the 'Love This' sentiment. The word 'Family' was created using the All Caps Die Set and by distressing the edges. 

Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see another beautiful project!

Aryia's Garden and Pentart Wax Pastes with Denise

Hello BoBunny Fans!

It's Denise here today to share One Layout: 3 Ways, using the gorgeous BoBunny Aryia's Garden Collection and Pentart Chameleon Wax Paste.

So here is the first layout. It is clean and has a few touches of stenciling, along with the super Chameleon wax paste.

Now for the second version, which has a bit more stamping and die-cuts.

Lastly, here is my favourite version. I added even more bits and bobs.

Here's a closer look at how I used the Chameleon wax paste. I used a paint brush and painted the edges of the flowers with the paste, as well as adding highlights to the leaves.

Here, again, you can see I edged the flowers with the wax paste.

I also rubbed some of the wax paste, just with my finger tip, in and around the gesso stencilling.

You can really see here, how it has a glimmer to it, which is just stunning.

This is such a special page for me, as this photo was taken a few years ago, on Mothers Day. There is nothing better than kisses and cuddles from our children.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today and really hope to see you back tomorrow.

Have a super day!
