Family Heritage Handbag Album with Irit

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome  to my new BoBunny inspirational post.
Irit from Irit Shalom's Designs is here today and I am going to share a card size mini  folder/ album made with one of my most favorite Once in a Lifetime BoBunny collections.

I love the vintage look of this collection and it's a perfect for family layouts, family mini albums and anything family related.
So as you can see this is a folded 12*6''  American Crafts black cardstock and the front is made like an old Heritage book.
I used a nested die set to make the book shaped layers using different collection cardstocks.

When opened this mini folder has three parts and a place for 3 wallet sized photos.
As you can see I added photo corners and the sample of the photo to insert into the corners.

 On the middle part there are place for two photos.
The cardstock was stamped with BoBunny most gorgeous background stamps and you can see the stamp names in the product list below.
The lower part is too small for photos, but great to cover the small magnet that together with the second one on the top makes the perfectly tight folder closure.

 And here are some close- ups to the cover.
The upper cardstock page was stamped, also finally not much of this stamping is seen.
Then a few dies cuts made with a few BoBunny dies were added together with some cardstock hand cuts.
The key and a keyhole are also die cuts made from black cardstock and heat embossed with copper American Crafts embossing powder.
The clock die cut was embossed with AC Black embossing powder.

The other part of the cover was made in the same style with die cut title added on the top.
The whole piece was covered with crackle glaze and you can see small vintage cracks here and there.


As you can you need this cardstock collection! It's the most gorgeous vintage collection of the year!

Once Upon A Lifetime Layout with Katherine

Hello BoBunny fans! Katherine here with a new vintage page using Once Upon a Lifetime, complete with a bit of inkiness and stenciling.

I used the Fanciful Stencil and some white gesso to create my base on the brick wall paper called Tradition, and then added some green,orange and brown watercolours over the top.  I then added some stamping in brown using the Take Note stamps.  Once I was happy with my background I went to work on the papers and embellishments.  I used a mix of papers from the 6" paper pad, and also created some corners for my photo from the corners of the Congratulations card die set.

Here you can see the layers of gesso and then watercolour with a little bit of the brown stamping to add to the distressed look and pull out the colours in the papers.

I layered up the rose from the Natural Earth Dahlia collection, teaming it with some laser cut chipboard and also one of the beautiful glittered chipboard pieces.  I created leaves for my rose from the clover Zinnia collection

My title is from one of the stickers and I layered up some lace from the Natural Earth collection and teamed it with a jewel swirl in Chocolate.

I hope it's inspired you to dig out some of your vintage photos or even more modern day ones, I am writing notes with mine to keep my family history safely stored.

Once Upon A Lifetime Tags and Door Hangers with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit here!

I decided to use BoBunny's new and gorgeous collection Once upon a Lifetime for two similar vintage style door hangers.

Actually it can be used as tags, door hangers or vine bottle embellishments too.

Cherish the past door hangers!

Both hangers were made in the same mixed media way. First, I hand/die cut them from a thick recycled chipboard. Then I made a cardstock layer and glued it with the Sticky Thumb glue runner. Next, I covered them with a thick layer of crackle paste using the BoBunny stencils. Then, when dry, they were misted a bit to get this vintage look. Both front embellishment circles were made in the same way. I layered cardstock, stickers, and more cardstock over one large die cut circle.

On this hanger I used BoBunny tags die to make a tag and then die cut two crowns for the upper layer.
Both crowns were heat embossed with gold powder.

On the second hanger I added one more die cut layer (a clock) and heat embossed the die cut key and a key hole with copper embossing powder.

This is the fine example of this versatile collection. A bit of mediums make it very grungy and vintage and you can make any mixed media project using parts of this collection.

 One last look at both tags:

Once Upon A Lifetime Wall Decor Project with Ulrika

Hello BoBunny Friends! 

Today, I'm going to show you this wall decor piece I made using Once Upon A Lifetime from our favorite BoBunny. The distressed frame I found at the recycling station. It was perfect creative inspiration for this project and provided just the right starting place for what I wanted to create.

"Once Upon a Lifetime" Wall Decor Project by Ulrika Wandler

I decorated it, and now it hangs on my wall. The worn off color on the frame matches perfect with the color scheme in the Once Upon A Lifetime collection! I accented with glitter paste, fabric and ribbon flowers and copper tone beads, nails and brads.

For a close up, I used wax paste and Glitter Paste on the wood birdcage shape.

I attached the paper pieces with foam dots so they would look more 3 dimensional.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how this project was crafted as much as I enjoyed making it.  It's always so much fun to see something creative turn out, sometimes even betterr than originally envisioned!

Come back and see us again soon!

Family Mini Album Video Tutorial featuring Once Upon a Lifetime with Irit

Hello My Dear Crafty Friends!

Welcome today to my BoBunny video tutorial post.

I made a small, card size mini album with a new and most adorable BoBunny collection named Once upon a Lifetime. 

Family Mini Album by Irit Shalom

This is an easy to make project and I decided  to make it without any fancy Mixed Media add- ons so the crafters on any level can make the same album. 

If you like you sure can add stamping, stencils, mists and more mediums on the cover or inside pages, but I decided to  leave it  as is and the cardstock is so beautiful  that you don't really need to add anything.

Here  are some photos to show it and then you can see the full step by step video tutorial and to make a very similar mini album for your own family and your own memories to keep inside.

 This is how it looks from the top:

And from the spine side- one single layered  chipboard was added to the spine:

More close- ups of the album:

 And here are some of the inside pages:

Here is my video tutorial and I hope that you like my album and would try to make a similar project with this most beautiful vintage BoBunny collection!
I hope you are able to kick back for a few minutes with us here and get inspired for your future project ideas.!

Once Upon a Lifetime 12 x 12 Mixed Media Layout with Elena

Hello BoBunny Friends!

It's Elena here today to share the layout I made using Once Upon a Lifetime collection. I chose this collection to highlight a trip I took with my family. 

Though this collection seems to be primarily driven by a vintage/heritage theme for me, I decided to create a mixed media layout in lighter tones. I wanted to feature this photo of my two kids to remember this day of sightseeing.  They had so much fun, but you can tell from the story this photo tells, they were absolutely exhausted!!

I started with applying gesso and modeling paste on my background and then misted those areas with glimmer color sprays.

I also stamped the butterflies images on the patterned papers and cut them out for added depth.

I fussy cut the flowers and arranged my paper layers.

I like the soft pastel tones and used them for accent color and additional layers for my layout.

Thanks for popping by the blog today!  Come see us again soon!
