Fa La La La Christmas Card with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and I welcome you to my first Christmas in August post.
The new BoBunny adorable Christmas collections are here!
So today I made an interactive and very fancy card and there is a full video tutorial too, so you can recreate my card if you like it. I used this Christmas in the Village collection and I am really in love with this collections lovely graphics and non- traditional Christmas colors.
My card this time has no Mixed Media add- ons, it's easy to make, and fits each and every crafter.
This is how it looks when standing as a regular card:

But wait- you are going to be amazed!
Let's open the topper :

 And now it's full opened!

Usually this kind of a card is made without  all bottom layers; the pop- up part is the actual card where you write the greetings.
I made it in a bit more layered style: the pop- up part is just the card topper/front and then there are a few more cardstock layers and the actual light blue card where you add your greetings/sentiments/ thoughts or whatever you wish.
 So here you can see all the layers on this standing card:

And if you want to try to make this  kind of card- HERE is a video tutorial for you to use.
Just a word about it: in the video the final part was mis- glued upside down and there were no way to change it in the video. But the final project was re- done and the pop- up part is glued in the correct direction.
As the video is mostly to teach the mechanism of this card the inside ornaments direction is not the issue and you can see the finished re- done project without any mistakes.

Using Stickers: Mini Book in a Box with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here and today  am going to share my Girls Only mini album in the handmade box that was created with the new and most gorgeous BoBunny Something Splendid paper collection.

Something Splendid collection is vintage style girly collection with friendship orientation and as a such it's a perfect one for girlfriends albums, layouts, cards or tags.
So  as this week the DT members were challenged to make projects using stickers I made this mini album in the box using this paper collection, lots of this collection stickers, layered chipboards and some other BoBunny and American crafts products.

I tried to make this box pretty flat, so the recipient  can carry it in the handbag.
I used the collection tag cardstock as my reference for the size. There are 8 tags in this cardstock and the size of the box fits the tag mini album that is inside the box.
I didn't add the photos (should be on the back of each tag and trimmed to size), as this is a present for my own girl and she will add the photos of here own girlfriends later.
The front was embellished with cardstock pieces and then a few Combo stickers were added on the " seen" side on the front. The flap was embellished with layered chipboards and one single blue flower was added over the chipboard piece.

The opened flap was embellish with more Combo stickers and I even used the side leftovers as some sticker strips.

The top was embellished with one more layered chipboards and it actually looks like a book cover.

And now the tags that were connected with a simple binder ring into a mini album.As you can see I added some gold transfer sayings over some of them and some Combo stickers over the others.
Each tag was matted over American Crafts black textured cardstock; the same cardstock was used as the base of my handmade box.

 And now some more of the tags for you to see:

And just to say: this project is easy to make and you don't need any fancy  or expensive tools to make it in just two hours. Just buy Something Splendid BoBunny collection and you are done!

Destination Happiness Mini Album with Ginny

Well hello there friends and BoBunny fans!
Today I'm sharing a fun mini album created with the World Traveler collection.


A mini album is such a great way to document a special trip. It's a walk down memory lane and can also be used as home decor propped on a shelf or table. That way your friends and family know they are invited to flip through and enjoy your pictures and journaling.

I started by gathering the collection and embellishments.  This is where the layering process really begins for me as I'm choosing elements that fit my project and look good together.

I originally thought I would create a card...but once I started layering I decided that I could make this a layout for the cover of a mini album.

I created a mini album base so I would have the perfect size for these elements. Mat board works great for the cover as it's easy to cut but still very sturdy.

The inside cover has a nice large area for bigger pictures. The little tag is from the Combo Sticker sheet. I used foam tabs to pop this up to build dimension. The banner is also from the sticker sheet.

The cut apart sheet has fabby postcard images that I used to create a pocket. There's a uniquely shaped die cut from the Noteworthy collection to provide a place to add journaling.

I'm alternating the patterns and scale to create raised sections for pictures.

Tabbed topped stickers and Layered Chipboard Stickers are great accents for this set of pages.

This pocket is created by layering a strip of tags cut from the patterned papers onto the stripe. Matting is very important to keep this from looking busy.

I fussy cut a few of the tags and popped them up just for a little extra detail. The tag in the pocket is a section of the large die cut from Noteworthy.

You can never have enough pockets in a mini to tuck in all the little bits and pieces so here's another for the last page.  Those tiny suitcase stickers are so charming! One more die cut in the pocket for journaling.

The back cover is finished similar to the front with a tag and some stickers and twine.

Wishing you all a happy and productive day : ) Ginny

Easel Fold Card Duo featuring Stay Awhile with Katherine

Hello Everyone, 

Katherine here with some really easy Easel Fold cards using Stay Awhile.  This sort of card is great because it folds flat which is great for posting.

My basic design is a 12" by 4" piece of double dot card stock which I fold at 6" and then 9", both of those fold are mountain folds.  To make the card stand up you add an area on foam pads (in the case above the flower square) on the inside of your card, so you can tuck the front of the card behind it.

To decorate my cards I added a 5 3/4" by 3 3/4" purple panel from the paper Welcome on the base of my card and then as there is a fold in the middle of the front cover I added 2 panels to the front of my card (you can see this best in the last photo where both cards are flat).  To disguise the fold I created my colourful hills and just stuck them to the bottom panel, the same with the house so that they pop-up when you fold the card.

I snipped the hills to make it look like grass and inked the edges of all the papers to add a little more definition.

Here you can see the square that the front cover tucks behind, I added some of the Double Dot Blue Hues jewels on the flowers to coordinate with the ones on the main card to tie the looks together.

The same template, but this time I cut out lots of the coffee cuts, the perfect card for a coffee lover!  I stuck the coffee cups just to the bottom fold so that they pop up.

My sentiment is on foam pads which meant I could tuck all the cups behind it, and I added a few coordinating jewels for just a bit of shine.

Another coffee cup to provide the stop and hold the card up.

This should give you an idea of what the cards look like when flat, you can see the panel at the base and top on the front of the cards and how it  has been disguised with the hills and coffee cups.

"You are Amazing" - 12 x 12 Layout featuring Charmed with Emmy

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today with a brand new creation to share with you. I just love the new Charmed collection - and since I have a little ballerina at home - this paper line is perfect for all of my daughter's professional pictures.

And here are some close ups and a few tips and tricks of my steps to creating this layout

Use different pattern papers to create the layers on the background. Add a dimensional layer using texture paste and stickable stencil. 

To decorate your page use various fussy cut paper elements and stickers from the sticker sheet. 

Combine different size flowers to create pretty paper blooms.

Add a fwew well placed pearly swirls to finish off your design.

Hello BoBunny Fans!

It's Denise here today to share my layout, 3 different ways.

The 2nd and 3rd layouts are just degrees of the first page. I added more and more detail to each subsequent version.

Here's each page individually.

I used black gesso and one of our stickable stencils, along with some stamps.  I also used the crackle mediums from Pentart, along with some acrylic paint on the background.

On the 2nd version I added some more noteworthy pieces and some stickers.

On the final version, I added even more stamping, some extra bits and pieces and distress ink splashing to finish.

Here are some close-ups of the final version.

I used the Pentart Dekor varnishes on the wood pieces and then emphasized the cracks with some paint.

I love this photo of my brother.  We as South Africans "braai" rather than "barbeque" and when he was out here last year, he was about to braai these huge t-bones. As I took the photo, he gave me the biggest and cheekiest smile ever.

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

Have a super day!

Denise x
