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.!



Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Once Upon A Lifetime - All Occasion Vintage Card Duo with Ulrika

Hi! Ulrika here today to show you this set of two cards I made up with one of the newest BoBunny Collections.  This one is a new fave!  I loved working with the new Once Upon A Lifetime collection. This line has real heritage vintage feeling about it.

The color scheme in these papers are gorgeous! The grey-blue is so cool!

On the blue card with the crown detail on front titled  "Grattis", I cut some flowers with BoBunny craft dies, and curled up the edges for a visual texture trick.  Then, I placed some contrasting Double Dot Jewels in the center of each flower to make them pop. Add in some strategic inking to the edges of some of the elements, for contrast.

One of the prettiest embellishments, and a personal favorite for me is the layered chipboard elements. These add such a lovely delicateness and splashes of coordinating colors.

Thank so much for popping in to see us today!  Come back again soon for more fun ideas done the BoBunny way!

"Live in the Sun" - Fabric Mini Album - featuring Summer Mood with Irit

Hello My Dear Crafty Friends! 

It's Irit here today and I am going to share a hand made fabric album made with a new and delicious Summer Mood BoBunny collection.

 "Live in the Sun" Fabric Album by Irit Shalom

Usually I don't make a lot of mini albums. It is time consuming and I don't have so many family photos to fill the whole album.  So this fabric album base was done a couple of years ago and was waiting for a nice paper collection to nicely coordinate with the fabric cover.  And, will be the perfect place to hold all the fun photos we take this summer of my dear grand kids!.   At this stage, it's without any photos.   I just added matting for the future photos to be added there.  Can't wait to start taking photos to fill it up this coming season.

Here is the front cover of the album:

I used one of  my BoBunny Ornate chipboard frames to start.  I trimmed it a bit so it would fit well over the album cover.  This collection has some black backgrounds and elements so I painted it with black acrylic paint for a dynamic accent.   Next, a few cardstock pieces were added inside the frame.
Then more cardstock pieces, die cut to be the higher layer and the pink die cut doily was added as another layer.   I finished with layered chipboard from this new collection as a title "Live in the Sun"

This is how this album looks from the top side.

 For more embellishments two painted wooden birdcages were added on the top.




The BoBunny flowers cluster was added on the lower corner and embellished with jewels.
Some combo stickers were added over the frame as the subtitle too.

And here, just to give a glimpse of what it looks like inside, the pages are ready with mats and ready for us to make some memories this summer!

 I really tried to keep the as flat as possible, so I kept the inside layers fairly minimal. That way I can load the book with photos of the fun things we do this summer and the bok will still close nicely

All pages were made in the similar way with one photo mat, stickers, washi tape. I added some sayings, swirly jewels with flowers and brads too.

  I really hope that you like this project and look how easy this collection makes the whole summer album!   And if you don't make your own handmade albums you can easily recreate your pages in any album.

Thanks for dropping in today to see what we have on deck for new project ideas!  Come back and see us again!

Hello Friends!  It's Ulrika here today!  I'm so happy to back with you again today with my next featured project! I have showcased a couple of cute ideas for brightly colored cards with a really "summery" vibe!  I made these using the colorful Summer Mood collection.

Chabby Chic Card Duo - Featuring Black Tie Affair with Ginny

Hello there, Friends, and a happy day to you all!  I'm here to share two cards that I created with the Black Tie Affair collection. If you're thinking I'm going classic black and white these cards might surprise you.  This collection works for shabby chic inspired projects too!

I've pulled out the whites and grays for these cards and layered them with sweet soft pink cardstock. This 6 x 6 card has loads of Noteworthy pieces and a large die cut doily.

 

To make the ribbon slide I used the Alphabet Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers and created the tops of two A's but on opposite ends of a long strip. I simply wound the ribbon through then wrapped the tails and secured them on the back.  A few Double Dot Jewels are the perfect finishing touch!

This card is A2 sized and has more of the cut aparts and a smaller die cut doily. For this ribbon slide I punched the ends like in the previous slide...but left the ends squared off. I also trimmed a bit to make it narrower so as to fit the scale better.

The scrap from the cut apart makes an excellent tag when given a coordinating metal eyelet and twine. Instead of my usual poofy bow I created a smaller ribbon embellishment with the trim  and secured it in the center with a Double Dot Brad.

I'm having loads of fun creating unique embellishments with my Alphabet Punch Board. Of  course it's great for letters too!

Okay that's all for me. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Black Tie Affair - 12 x 12 Layout with Mixed Media, BoBunny Essentials and We R Mini ABC Punch Board

Hello BoBunny Fans!

Emmy here today sharing a layout I created using BoBunny's Black Tie Affair collection and We R Mini Alphabet Punch Board.  I'm absolutely in love with both products! Possibilities to create your own masterpiece are endless!

To create the background I used two different pattern papers from the Black Tie Affair collection. I ruffled and distressed their edges and adhered them together using Sticky Thumb Adhesive. Using a stickable stencil and texture paste I created the white dimensional pattern.

To decorate my page I used various die cut elements from pattern paper and from Double Dot cardstock, which I adhered with Sticky Thumb Dimensional Adhesive Foam Dots.

I used also pre-cut elements from the Noteworthy pack matching the collection and stickers from the 12" sticker sheet.

For my title I used We R Mini Alphabet Punch Board and Double Dot cardstock. I decorated the letters with Double Dot Jewels.

"Love" - an A4 Styled Layout and Home Decor Piece - featuring Cottontail and We R Mini ABC Punch with Angela

Hello BoBunny Friends,

It's Angela here today and I would like to show you a layout in A4 format made with the Cottontail collection.

I started choosing the papers and, since the photo I wanted to use is a little bit dark, I went for white cardstock adhered on Pastels paper, which has a beautiful peachy color.  I stitched here and there the two papers with my sewing machine, without cutting away the threads of the stitch.

Then, I fussy cut a couple of flowers of the same orangish color from Springtime paper and arranged them at the bottom of the photo.

For the title, I decided to use big letters made using the Mini Alphabet punch board by WRMK.

I made each letter twice, in white cardstock and in peach, using the Pastels paper left-over. White on top and peach color underneath, to give a dimensional look.

To give even more interest to the title, I added a little stitch to each letter, always leaving the long threads of the stitching 'flying' around.

The journaling is a beautiful quote of Henri Matisse that I wrote with my old typewriter.

When I started, I had intended for this to be a layout.  After, I was all finished, I decided it deserved to be framed and displayed as a decoration in my home.

Check out the process video to see how this layout came together and I hope you are inspired in some way.






Thanks for stopping by today.

Love,

Angela Tombari
