Meet the BoBunny Graphic Designers!

Have you ever wondered about the BoBunny graphic designers?

Today we want you to meet them!

Company owner Jan Lanoy said, "We currently have the best group of designers! We love them, and we know you will love them too! They are going to share their favorite collection they have designed and we are going to share our favorite things about our designers."

My name is Alex. My favorite line that I loved to work on the most was Fright Delight. I love Halloween and I got the chance to add some of my culture into the designs. My inspiration for this line was Dia de los Muertos. 

 Alex is full of surprises! He has traveled the world playing soccer and we are lucky to now have him here designing AWESOME collections for BoBunny. Alex also doubles as our web designer!

My name is Amy. I love to laugh and have a good time. I love drawing cute elements, that is probably my favorite part of any line I design. My style tends to be more cute or graphic and I use lots of bright colors. My favorite line I have ever designed is Keylime, I love the bright colors the beachy surf style and well kind of everything about it. 

Amy is spunky and is SO talented. You will find her at comic con, at her sewing machine, or at the park with her adorable little girl, Alora. Hmmmmm…does that sound familiar?

My name is Laura.Somehow after coming to Bo Bunny I have become the “crazy cat lady”. I think this came from introducing Wildlife Wednesdays. On the first Wednesday I introduced this I decided to wear a t-shirt my brother gave me as a gag gift with a cat face on the front, my title as the “crazy cat lady” has stuck ever since. I love being creative and designing for the scrapbooking industry. I love anything love, so designing Love Letters was definitely one of my favorite lines to design!

Laura is tons of fun, full of energy and just oozes creativity! Laura introduced wild life Wednesday to BoBunny. Everyone is encouraged to wear animal prints of all kinds! Wednesdays are always a surprise!

My name is Rae. My style has slowly transformed over the years with the changing trends, but "vintage" is usually a word that is used when describing my designs. One of my favorite collections I designed was Isabella. The limited color palette of pinks & greys along with the butterflies & flowers captured a simple elegance that I love. I put my heart & soul into each of my designs & love every collection I have ever designed or co-designed. 

In addition to her beautiful designs, Rae is the calm in the middle of BoBunny chaos. Being the mother of 3 beautiful daughters her work is always trendy, vintage, and chic.

Hey I'm Shannon. I think my favorite collection I've made is Mama-razzi2. I absolutely love that one, the colors are bright, and the cameras are so fun to use. It was really fun to recreate this classic line again with a fresh twist. I even got to hide my grandparents in the line on the polaroid paper-Focus (my grandma's the one with the fabulous cat-eye glasses). 

We are always WOWed by Shannon’s incredible work. We are so thrilled and excited about her latest work which will be delivered by a stork the first of January!

The work atmosphere here at BoBunny is incredible. It is created by the wonderful people who work here. The designers are a large contributor and we appreciate all of their hard work!

Mini Thank You Cards

THANK YOU cards are a staple at my house.

How about yours?

Someone is always doing something nice for my family and I

and I love to keep thank you cards on hand.

So today....  We are going to share some quick and easy

Thank you cards that you can make and keep handy.

Shannon Anderson- Serenade

Designer Tip: Using punches really speeds up the card making process.

Supplies Used:

Serenade Dot, Serenade Dragonfly, Serenade Garden, Serenade Pendant, Serenade Poppies, Serenade Promenade, Serenade Stripe, Serenade Trellis, Serenade Cut Outs, Serenade Rubons, Serenade Brads, Serenade Noteworthy

Amy Tadeo- Mistletoe

Amy said: "It's our family tradition to make thank you cards on Christmas Day after we open all our gifts and we always, always make sure to send a thank you card to Santa."

Supplies Used:

Mistletoe Boxes, Mistletoe Countdown, Mistletoe Greetings, Mistletoe Stripe, Mistletoe Twas the Night, Wasabi Journal Double Dot, Wildberry Stripe Double Dot, Mistletoe Jewels, Mistletoe Noteworthy

Mini Cards
Robbie Herring

I must say that I've honestly never thought about making mini-cards, but I loved this idea! I also decided to make mine quick and easy! Using the Noteworthy pieces and one piece of Double Dot cardstock made these go together super fast!

 This one is a bit of a different size. It's 4 x 2 1/2". I did it the same way as the other one with a bit of different placement. The center layer of the flower is punched from the Double Dot and the top layer is also from the Noteworthy package. I cut some slits between the petals to make it more dimensional. 

This last card comes in the largest at 3 3/4 by 4 1/4. Instead of using ribbon to tie it together, 
the brad can be attached through the back to do that duty. 
The eyelet on the front of the card, goes through the layers of the flower, too. 

Supplies Used:
Patterned Paper: Coffee Vintage Dot
Noteworthy: Serenade
Brads: Serenade
Petals: Serenade

Tip: To really speed up the process on these cards.

1. Cut all the cardstock backs to the sizes named.

2. Pre-punch 6 leaves and 2 flowers. 

3. Distress all pieces of cardstock, Noteworthy pieces and leaves. 

Use the end of a pencil to scrunch up your flowers a bit for added dimension.

4. Add eyelets to all six punched holes. (Punch holes all together by holding the cards closed.)

Don't forget to punch through the layered flower on the 3rd card.

5. Attach ribbon, as shown.

6. Glue down flowers on the first two cards and add the brad to the last one. 

Ribbon: Licorice, Olive and Buttercup

Samantha Wright
 I made my minis using "leftovers" from my Bo Bunny stash! 
Reasons to create mini cards:
1. It's a great way to utilise every bit of Bo bunny goodness and of course.... there is NO waste 
2. They are quick and fun to make
3. Who doesn't love a homemade thank you card?

 This photo is just to show a size comparison(mini vs an average sized card)

 This card measures 3"high x 4" wide.

This card measures 4 3/4" high and 3" wide.

Supplies Used:

Card Kits: Ambrosia, Vicki B
Double Dot Cardstock: Violet Dot
Chipboard: Garden Girl 12" Chipboard
Jewels: Garden Girl
Double Dot Ribbon: 3/8" Turquoise
