Snazzy Firecracker Cards!

Firecracker Cards by Tracee Provis

Hi BoBunny fans, today I have some cards to share that I created using the adorable Firecracker Collection. The Firecracker Collection is a wonderful line that incorporates July 4th and much much more.

For my first card I started with a white base, then stenciled some clouds and a sun using Glitter Paste and Pearlescents.

I stamped the hot air balloons and the clock with stamps from the Dreamer set. I stamped the hot air balloons a second time onto patterned paper from the Firecracker 6 x 6 paper pad, I then fussy cut just the balloon part and layered it over the original shape.

You can use the BoBunny Pearlescents in a number of different ways, this time I used the Brilliant Blue Pearlescents and painted my cloud shapes. They have a real shimmer and you can water them down to create different shades. After they were dry I used a mixture of Lemonade and Gold Glitter Paste and the Summertime Stickable Stencil set to make my sun in the clouds.

I wish we celebrated July 4th here in England it looks like so much fun! I always make a card for my friend over in the USA and I love the little children that feature in the Firecracker collection so I decided to make him the focus of my card.

I layered up some papers from the collection and placed my fussy cut image in the centre, I used the On This Day stamp set to create my sentiment. BoBunny produces a set of Stamp Blocks, they are really great as they have a grid etched on for you to stamp your stamps exactly where you want them.

For my final card I chose one of the 3 x 4 sections of the paper and carefully cut away the white parts, this left me with a red and blue starburst that I mounted onto a slightly larger white piece. In the white parts I added a small dot of Silver Pearlescents.

I used the same technique with the balloons as I did on the first card. I cut out a small circle and added my sentiment to it, with a few more of the Silver Pearlescents to make a simple greeting. I wanted to keep this card simple but I felt it needed a little something more, so I cut some clouds from vellum using the Fly Away die. I turn to this die time after time as I love cloud shapes. Thank you for spending time with me today, see you soon!

Take A Hike With Misc Me!

Hi BoBunny fans! Today I will be sharing some 12 x 12 Misc Me pages with you using the fabulous Take A Hike Collection, so lets get started.

The Great Outdoors by Tracee Provis

Ever year we hire a little cottage by the sea, there are lots of trails and coastal paths to explore so I thought I would create an album of our adventures.

The Take A Hike collection is perfect for documenting outdoor walks, and I cut out 3 x 4 journaling cards on the Trails sheet. I cut just the paw on the bear card then I slipped my picture of the nature trail sign in behind and it looks like he is holding on to it for me.

I layered up some papers along with a Misc Me Pocket Square (that I cut the edges off) and then added some journaling. As you can see by the date I am starting with some older photo's in this album.

I cut the compass from another of the Pocket Squares, there are usually more than one of each of the cards, so I still have another to use in its entirety. I then layered over a title that I cut on my silhouette.

I used the 4 pocket page protector for my next page and in each one I created like a mini scrapbook page. 

I cut out the frame that is on the fishing sheet and I wanted it to fill my pocket but it wasnt quite big enough so I attached it to a 6 x 6 piece of vellum and popped it in. I sneaked in a butterfly that I cut from the Butterfly Kisses Collection. Once again I cut the Wild and Free title on my silhouette.

You can also use your mixed media products in your pockets, here I took the Summertime Stencil and added some crackle paste clouds to my papers after it was totally dry I then added it to my page protector.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit with me today, I will be back soon to share more of the pages in this album.
