Gift Wrapping Ideas

With the holidays quickly approaching we wanted to give you a few quick gift wrapping ideas!

Wine Bottle Gift Set - Lisa Novogrodski

BoBunny has done an amazing job with the elegant appeal of the Silver and Gold Collection. I've created a beautiful way to dress up an ordinary wine bottle cylinder box by mixing some of the pattern papers and adding some shabby trims. My matching tag ties around the wine bottle and acts as a card with the sweet Christmas sentiment from the Holiday Wishes Stamp Set.

I dressed up the papers with velvet and gold ribbons and created my own shabby chic fringe crepe paper trim for the sides.

These snowflakes and bells were dollar store finds. I dressed them up with glitter and mica flakes for sparkle and shine! My dimensional stickers are wishing you "Peace, Love and Joy" all tucked into a beautiful bow and frosty bells.

My tag is a delight for those who love a vintage shabby chic look. I've used the Santa Chipboard and covered it in Rock Candy Crackle then inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The little tag wishes you a seasons greeting stamped with the Holiday Wishes Stamp Set completing my VERY MERRY gift set!

Christmas Card and Ring Gift Box - Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)

I made a Christmas card and gift box for a ring. 

To begin, I will show the card. I decided to use the technique of layering which makes any card a winner.

In the following photo you can see the dimension a little better.

The box was easy to make and there is "snow" and "gold threads" inside. This is my gift box and the ring is already inside it.

This is how the gift box looks from a different angle.

Give Thanks Layouts

October has come to an end and now we all begin to think of all the wonderful things we have to be thankful for!

In order to celebrate this month of gratitude, the theme this week is "GIVE THANKS".  Each day this week we will share one thing we are thankful for here at BoBunny.

We are especially thankful for YOU! The wonderful readers of our blog,

The design team has been given a challenge this week to add into their layouts a special item.  See if you can guess what it is! You can find the answer in their "BoBunny Supplies List"

Count Your Blessings - Denise van Deventer

Autumn Time is also harvest time and for me this is always the time to take stock of my life and give thanks for the many blessings in my life. I can honestly say that I am truly blessed and really have nothing to complain about. These 5 kids are certainly blessings and add so much colour to my life and world! That little cheesy grin in the front is most certainly one of my greatest blessings too!

This layout has a Bohemian feel to it. It was not intended that way, but just turned out that way!

I love the earthy Kraft collection and so used quite a few of these elements on my page. The clock paper behind my photo is actually a gift bag and I thought it would be perfect for a patterned paper use, as well as a holder for my journalling. So I have a little note tucked inside for safe keeping!

Thanks to Earth's Gears - Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)

There are times in life when it seems that everything and everyone turned their backs on you. At the head of a thousand thoughts, and choose the correct one does not work ...

Here then Earth comes into play. Earth is always and everywhere have time!

To make your life adjusted, you just have to listen to the sound of her gear. They suggest the right solutions, they direct, they help...

Let's all thank them for their work!

Count Your Blessings - Lisa Gregory

I am blessed to have a wonderful family. My mom and dad raised 4 successful children, and we all have wonderful families of our on now.

I toned down the yellow BoBunny Blossoms using some autumn colored mists. To create the leaves, I die cut them from double dots paper and patterned paper and enhanced them with mists as well. I tucked a couple of Kraft butterflies on the page.

I cut apart one of the Kraft bags, tore them into strips and randomly adhered them on the page. I also punched strips for the outer border and created a Kraft lace. I cut a piece of burlap from the trim, and placed it under the journal banner I made. And I used the wonderful Kraft Alphabet stamps to stamp the word Family in 2 places.

Happy Halloween - Lisa Novogrodski

The Fright Delight Collection is truly THE perfect collection for Halloween cards! I cannot say enough about how effortlessly the papers, stickers, and chipboards work together to create  "Boo-tiful" cards for this scary season. I used the cute October 31st dimensional sticker as my inspiration.

I'm a big fan of mixing patterns and layering as much as I can to create texture and dimension. 

I think my most favorite stamps by BoBunny are these fabulous "Stained Textures" stamps. I used them with white chalk ink on the black background paper and love how it looks!  Tip: Don't use a block with your stamps. Just take the stamp and press it in your ink and then randomly stamp on your card.

Trick or Treat - Lisa Novogrodski

I was inspired by the little "Trick or Treat" chipboard in the purple and white. I wanted to carry out this purple theme throughout my card.  I created a little pocket envelope on the front and tucked in a tag.  You could add a little note to the tag or tuck a treat in the envelope and enclose the tag inside the card.

The "Stained Textures" stamps work so well with the Halloween theme. I love how the stamping on the orange background looks like webbing. I also used white chalk ink again against the darker background. Don't you just love that grungy cup stained ring the stamp makes?

Thank You card - Solange Marques

You and Me Card - Solange Marques

I am in love with The Avenues Collection. I love its doors, birds and colors. To make that card I cut out a door and I stamped a brick wall around it. To highlight the curly stamp I used black embossed powder.

Best Wishes Card - mellpellmell

In my opinion Fright Delight Collection is suitable not only for the decoration of different stuff for Halloween... I made ​​two greeting cards. Rich and deep colors of Fright Delight Collection paper sheets makes it just the ideal background for the brightly flowers and white acrylic stamping! This is the first card.

The second card says in Russian "Happy Birthday" (I am reporting this for those who do not know Russian). As always on my cards you can find such "decorations" as a thread, ink splashes, acrylic masking...)))

Holiday Wishes - Lisa Nazario-Gregory

 I think that the Autumn Song Collection is one of my favorites, with its glorious colors of Autumn in crisp orange, red and greens. The card I created can be used throughout the holiday season. I die cut leaves from the pattern paper. It is perfect in getting the variegated look of real leaves. A little inking on the edges  gives the leaves dimension.

I stamped directly on the chipboard banner.

For the corners of the card. I used embossing ink and a fine embossing powder and heat embossed it creating a raised textured elegant effect.

Happiness Card - Lisa Nazario-Gregory

This card can be used for many occasions. I wanted to keep it simple, but a little bit grungy. The Stain Texture Stamps was perfect for achieving a little grunge. I used a couple of the stamps to outline the  lighter layer of the card. I layered the card and raised the layers with pop dots for dimension. I love the little stains on each individual heart.  I used the largest stamp in the collection for the background to the hand cut stamps.

You can never have too many friends...

We're meeting and learning about 5 more of our

BoBunny Design Team friends today.

Also, I forgot to post projects with yesterday's girls... so I'll add those today.

Don't forget to check them out.

Hi there, I’m Keri Babbitt. I’m a mom of two, who’s been happily crafting since high school. I love capturing life’s moments and expressing myself artistically through scrapbooking. I’m obsessed with anything vintage and love trying new techniques, as well as finding creative ways to make the most of my scrapbook stash. I love to experiment with any and every  scrapping style, from minimalist to shabby chic. I am often a grid‐based, multi‐photo scrapper, and enjoy finding well‐ designed ways to include lots of photos. I enjoy: curling up with a good book, dancing, junking, and being in the outdoors or watching Mythbusters with my family. I’m a messy scrapper who loves to craft late into the night. I'm so excited to be joining the team here at Bo Bunny! You can find me and my blog here: http://kensingtondesign.blogspot.com.

Hi, My name is Lisa and by profession I am a registered nurse. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 children who are now successful young adults. I have been a crafter my whole life. Back in 2005, when my son was doing his senior project with his girlfriend (who is now his wife) They were creating a scrapbook of their lives. They elicited my help as I was the crafty one. We took a ride to The Dollar Tree (our local dollar store) who had a section dedicated to scrap booking Papers, albums, embellishments, flowers, and we grabbed everything we could find. I knew about the new way of scrap booking, but never gave it any thought until that trip to The Dollar Tree. After helping the kids create their albums , I was curious as to where I could get more "scrap booking stuff". So I drove to our local Michaels and Joanns craft stores. That is when I became hooked. Then I sought out the local scrapbook stores and found stuff I didn't even know existed until then. I shopped and shopped and shopped some more. I found Scrapbook.com and saw the kind of scrap booking the artists did. I was amazed at the styles. It just wasn't cut and paste and stickers. It was 3 dimensional, it was gorgeous, and oh so inspiring. So I created a gallery, created my first layout and the rest is history. My style has changed a bit throughout the years, but playing with paper and scissors is still so therapeutic for me. I am so very honored to be designing for Bo Bunny. 

My name is Lisa a/k/a Raining in the scrap world. I have a few passions outside of my husband and kids. LOVE to run, LOVE the beach, LOVE taking photos and LOVE my scrapbook art. I am the square peg, always have been, and my style reflects that. I'm a little shabby, artsy, mixed media and sometimes grunge. "I'm undefined- the rest is still unwritten" I am thrilled to be a part of the amazing Bo Bunny Team- thankful for this opportunity and hope to inspire as I have been on my "artistic scrap art" journey.

 Hi Everyone! My name is Lynn Shokoples and I live in Alberta, Canada. I have been married for a very long time, and have two amazing kids, Nicole 26 and Ryan 21. I also have this incredible son-in-law Christopher ( he told me to say that). Now that my kids have grown and our daughter got married, I just had to have something to mother, so we added two goldendoodle puppies to our family. You will see a lot of Daisy and Jax in my projects because they don't run away like the kids do when I come running with the camera. My goal is to become a Grandma but I guess for now I have to settle for my adorable grand-puppy Jackson! When I'm not scrapping, I love to read, play the piano, and hang out in the yard with my kids and puppies! If you can't find me in my studio, you can probably find me blogging away or visiting with all the amazing scrappy friends I've met on facebook. I've been so blessed to be a part of the Bo Bunny family and can't wait to continue my journey!! Come by and say hi anytime. I love meeting new scrappy friends! http://scrappyhappymom.blogspot.ca/. 

Hi everyone. My name is Maria Potapovich, in the world of scrap I am also known by the nickname mellpellmell. I live in Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

I love stamps and masks, brushes and paper, paint and ink - 
I'm a skrapoholik typical)) The fact that I have higher technical e
ducation, does not prevent me to be creative. The fact that 
"the time for paper sessions," I have only at night - does not stop me. It seems that the whole scrapbooking invented just for me))

All I can say is these girls are amazing.  
I learn something from them everyday!
Have a good one!
