Sensationally Simple!

Hello, Maria here! I love patterned kraft paper. It can be used to decorate any LO or cards, whatever the density of it. Kraft is very beautiful! Always! When you have on hand some yummy plain kraft paper, and even a package made from a  plain kraft paper, then the world is your ocean! Plain Kraft paper can be used as a basis for a mini-album, for example ... But today I decided to make some fun gift bags from BoBunny's wonderful Kraft bags.

Making a nice package for a gift is easy! And even easier to make a package for a set of two gifts!

See how using simple means you can achieve great results!

Two packages of different sizes, decorated in the same style.

Look at the stages of decoration:

1. Stickable Stencils + ink

2. background stamping

3. word stamp with the "shadow" (simle way to have great result!)

4. doily

5. emallishment, made of carved stamp imprint

6. small piece of adhesive film strip

Super Safari Layout!!

Hi! This week we are focusing on the beautiful Bo Bunny Jewels and the gorgeous Safari collection. The jewels are actually some of my favourite embellishments, so I was really excited to get to work with some of them for today's blogpost. I choose to work with the 'Tuxedo' jewels and used them to add a few bling details on this lay-out about my father.

This photo of my father shows him just the way he is. When we are on vacation or just have a short family trip to the zoo or to a museum, he is always very interested in everything that he sees, whether it's a beautiful landscape, a work of art of some kind of architecture. That is what this lay-out is about. The title is in Dutch and says 'always curious'.

On my lay-out I used a mixture of papers from the Safari collection to match my photo. I also used one sheet of the Heritage collection. I cut out several bricks from the 'Jungle' paper to create a nice background for my photo.

I used the beautiful jewels to add some extra detail to my lay-out. I added some of them to the banner that I created below my photo. Besides, I also incorporated a few jewels in the chickenwire patterns that I stamped alongside the edges of my lay-out.

One of the new products BoBunny now has is Filmstrip stickers, and I love how versatile they are!!  Today I wanted to show you how you could use them with removing the adhesive.

I've made lots of these letters over the years, they make great gifts for children's bedroom doors, I even made some as a wedding gift order.  Rose Cafe has such a great colour range in the collection but I wanted something a bit softer so created my base using two different papers and then randomly torn, distressed and inked to get the aged look that goes with the theme of Rose Cafe.

I have twisted my filmstrip, tucking it behind the letter and and gluing it down in the middle to keep the curled effect - like you would with ribbon.

I've fussy cut some images, and die cut flowers and leaves from the scraps I had left, adding a Blossom and some chipboard stickers to create my cluster, so that it looks like its cascading through the filmstrip.

Snowflake Delight!

Hi Everyone!

Christmas is now right around the corner and for some of you that means a cold snowy time of the year, but for me down the bottom of the world in New Zealand it means lovely hot sunny weather :)

The layout I have to share with you today is one of my best friends and her gorgeous wee man Oscar. This was winter last year and where they live, about an hour from me, is perfect for snowy photos for scrapping, which is great for me :)  Why?  Because I love snowflakes and anything scrappy that incorporates that, so Altitude was screaming my name lol :)

For the month of December we are also joining with Leaky Shed Chipboard, this product is amazing!!! So easy to use and alter - for the snowflakes I have covered them in gesso and then applied Pearlescents and glitter paste before finally adding a jewel to the center.

The chipboard oval is also painted with gesso but this time I only applied Pearlescents to it, and then arranged my cluster around it.

To create all the layers I have some popped some up with foam and then tucked pieces of Noteworthy in here and there.  Ive die cut my poinsettias and applied jewels to the centres.  The snowflakes I have fussy cut from. The large snowflake is actually a Christmas decoration :)
