How To Alter Your Scrapbook Layout Background

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today sharing a brand new layout I've created using the amazing Family Heirlooms collection from BoBunny's newest release. This post comes with a short tutorial on how I am altering my background paper and what products I use in the process. I hope you will enjoy it!

How to alter your background paper:

Step 1: Using a sponge dauber cover the middle part of the patter paper with a see through layer of gesso to soften the color. Let it air dry.

Step 2: Mark the position of your picture on the background paper with a pencil. Using clear stamps and black ink create your design around it. Let it air dry. 

Step 3: Once the ink has dried, add a shimmering layer using glitter paste and a stickable stencil. Let it air dry. 

Once your are satisfied with your background paper, continue to arrange your design.

To decorate my page I used fussy cut images and pre-cut embellishments from the Noteworthy pack matching the collection.

I also added die-cut embellishments, stickers and chipboard stickers.

As a final touch I added rhinestones, shimmering brads and rhinestone flourishes.

I hope I managed to inspire you today!

Have a wonderful creative week!

Sweet Scrapbook Layout with Garden Grove

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today sharing a brand new layout I've created using the adorable Garden Grove collection from BoBunny's newest release. The soft colour palette and the cute images make this collection perfect for any occasion!

For my background I used the lce cardstock and pattern paper. I cut off 2 cm from two sides of the pattern paper, distressed its edges and adhered it on top of the cardstock as shown.

Once both papers were adhered, I stamped the fake stitches along the edges of the pattern paper and the distressed design in the middle of it. When the ink has dried I sprinkles shimmering mist on top. To add extra colour to my background I used washi tapes from the pack matching the collection.

I layered my picture on a slightly larger panel of cardstock from the 6x6" Paper pad and adhered it to the background using mounting foam tape. 

To decorate my layout I used fussy cut embellishments from different pattern papers, stamped butterflies and paper roses. 

I added layered chipboard images as well.

For my title I used a pink Thickers Alphabet from American Crafts.

As a final touch I added flourish jewels and rhinestones.

I hope I managed to inspire you today!

Have a wonderful creative week!

Family Heirlooms Scrapbook Layout with Beige and Brown Color Scheme

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today sharing my first post for March using the Family Heirlooms collection from BoBunny. I used a black and white picture and a brownish-beige color palette for this layout.

For my background I used Double Dot cardstock, a patterned paper and a lot of different clear stamps. I cut off 2 cm from the pattern paper and distressed two of its edges. Then, using various clear stamps and brown ink pad, I added extra pattern to it. Once the ink has dried, I adhered it in the middle of the brown cardstock.

I layered my picture on a slightly larger panel of double dot cardstock from the 6x6" paper pad. Then I fussy cut my embellishments from different pattern papers and arranged them around my picture. I used foam dots to adhere them.

I also added chipboard stickers and layered chipboard stickers matching the collection.

To finish off my design I sprinkles shimmering mist on top of all layers and added brown pears, rhinestones and enamel dots.

I hope I managed to inspire you today!

Count The Ways Layout with Emmy

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today sharing another project I created for BoBunny's blog. To design this layout I used one of BoBunny's newest collections - Count the Ways. I just love the colour palette and all the cute embellishments of this paper line.

I cut off 0.5 cm from each side of the pattern paper, inked its edges and adhered it on top of the pink cardstock. Using clear stamps set and brown ink I created the 'frame' around my design. Then I splashed some shimmering mist on top.

I layered my picture on a sheet of pattern paper from the 6 x 8" paper pad and a slightly larger panel of 12" pattern paper. I adhered all the layers using mounting foam tape.

To decorate my page I used fussy cut embellishments from pattern paper, chipboard and cardboard stickers.

For my title I used a chipboard phrase sticker.

As a final touch I added pink rhinestones.

I hope I managed to inspire you today!

Have a great week!

Fall Scrapbook Layout

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today with my second post for September featuring the amazing Boulevard collection from BoBunny's summer release. By carefully selecting which colors to use, I managed to create a lovely autumn palette, matching my pictures perfectly.

For my background I used a pattern paper and a Double Dot cardstock. I cut off 0.5 cm from each side of the pattern paper, distressed its edges and adhered it on top of the cardstock. Then, using a Stickable stencil and texture paste I created the white dimensional pattern. Once the texture paste has dried, I added extra pattern using clear stamp and different color ink pads.

To create the layers under my picture I used different pattern papers from the Paper Pad and die cut embellishments from the Noteworthy pack. 

For the rest of the embellishments I used double dot cardstock and different dies or fussy cut images from the 12" pattern papers. 

For my title I used a Thickers alphabet and a layered chipboard stickers. As a final touch I added red rhinestones. 

I hope I managed to inspire you today!

Have a great week!
