Cards: Two Colorful Cards with Ulrika

Hi! Ulrika here to bring you some card inspiration today. I made these two cards using the bright and colorful Sunshine Bliss.

For both cards I used some of the new sentiment stamps along with Vicki Boutins Colorwheel Ink Pads. 

I cut flowers with BoBunny dies, and added a layered chipboard piece with glitter!

The second card where I used one of the large diecuts and two of the flowers from the Noteworthy package.

 I used 3D foam to make the embellishments pop.

Cards: All About ATC with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit from Irit Shalom's Designs is here today and I am going to share with you all about ATC.
As you all most probably know ATC was first  Artistic Trading cards item-baseball card size small artistic project that was traded and kept in the baseball cards plastic pocket. And this was sore for two decades.
Then the crafters around the world felt bored and decided that C can be changed to ... cube.
So Artistic Trading Cubes were born: small 3'' squared cube made  from one single cardstock piece and embellished on 5 sides. It also can be folded and mailed for swapping.
Then about 6 months ago the brain stormed artists decided that C can be also for Coins. And so Artistic Trading Coins were born: 2.5'' circled art pieces that are embellished, stamps, misted, painted and whatever and can be mailed and traded.

So today I am going to share all three ATC kinds that were made with one single BoBunny collection named Sunshine Bliss and all of them are  in this correct ATCs size and ready for swap.



 This is my collection of two coins, two cards and one cube.
Also I used stencils, glitter paste and stamps these are not really Mixed Media art pieces, but more scrapbooking style collaged ones.
And this is the glory of BoBunny products: you can make classic projects with them or to move to Mixed Media art. It just depends on your style and your own skills.
So here are the first " born" of ATC- Trading cards.

Both cards are made in the same way: American Crafts black cardstock base. Then Sunshine Bliss die cut rectangle. Over the rectangle BoBunny stencil with Black glitter paste was used and then Noteworthy die cut pieces and Combo stickers were added to finish the card.
ATC must be pretty flat art piece as you are going to mail it in the flat envelope, so I stopped on this level of layers. Some background stamps were used around the upper layers to add more artistic interest to the card.

The next are Coins: same way of crafting and pretty much same style and look.

 And here are the flat pieces all together:

 And now the last C for the Cube.

The cube should not be glued so you can fold it and to ship it. I glued it as I wanted better photos from a few sides.

So here are some close- ups to some sides and to the embellished top:

 So I hope that you understood all kinds of ATC projects and maybe would try to make some of your own with BoBunny delicious paper collections!

Life Journey Mini Album with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!

This time I used the most gorgeous Sunshine Bliss collection again and made a cute, card sized mini album that has a different binding from the previous one I made with another BoBunny collection.

This album has a folded spine and is great for bulky pages. Each page is actually done as a pocket and you can add whatever you want inside the pockets. It can be your favorite summer photo or the tickets to water park or even your kids drawing and you still have space to glue photos or ephemera  over the black pages if you wish to do so.

The cover was made with BoBunny Double Dot cardstock and then embellished with Sunshine Bliss cardstocks, layered chipboard, die cuts, stickers and BoBunny flowers.

The title of the album was done with this collection's thickers and a die cut and it's "Life Journey" as a main title and "Today is a perfect day to be happy" as a subtitle.

Here are most of page spread for you to see.

I used mostly paper cuts and stickers and on each page front. A quote was stamped using our new BoBunny stamp set-expressions. Each quote was stamped over a die cut cardstock piece with hot pink ink from American Crafts Vicki Boutin Mixed Media ink set. This is a pigmented ink and as such it was heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

The page edges were inked with the same ink and as this ink is highly pigmented you have to heat dry the edges (unless you want some mess that happened to some of my pages, but it looks pretty after all).

The pink left page is perfect for summer photos to add over it. So are all other left side pages that were left without any embellishments.

Thanks for being here with me today and see you in a month with new and exciting BoBunny releases!

Kärlek (Love) Layout with Ulrika

Hi BoBunny fans!

Ulrika here calling from Sweden. Summer is here, and I would like to show you this summery layout today.

"Kärlek" is Swedish for "Love". The picture is of my dear son.
Fortunately the American Crafts thickers packages contains some extra dots for making the Swedish letter Ä. 

I love thos layered chipboard pieces. They have glitter on them too!

I have used both flowers from the Noteworthy pack, and some handmade flowers using those cute BoBunny dies.

Until next time!

-Ulrika

Best Day Layout with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit here today with a lovely and sunny baby girl layout made with the new Sunshine Bliss collection.

This collection is so versatile. You can do baby girl pages or projects and you can also use it for bright summer crafts and there are darker green cardstock designs in this collection that are great fit even for some mixed media projects.

This is my adorable grand daughter Netta who was here just 16 months old. She is almost 5 years old now, but these photos are so great to scrap again and again.
I decided to make a baby girl layout just because the photos I used were a great fit for the colors.
I made this layout with cut out photo as the background was out of the color range and made double matting for the cut out photo part with stamps.
The layout is pretty dimensional, but not mixed media kind.

Also I stamped over the background, but it was for more interest, not for making it messy.
I made a double title using this collection's thickers and one single layered chipboard.
I added some journaling with the combo stickers.

I used Vicki Boutin mixed media inks to color the bare chipboards "as is"- just grab the ink over the pieces and let them dry as these inks are pigmented. You can also heat dry the inks or add some clear embossing powder over the ink.

The Noteworthy die cut flowers were embellished with green pearls and more  jewels were added over the layout.

Here you can see all layers of this page, but it's still a flat scrapbooking page that can be kept in a clear pocket.

Thanks for being here with me today and I hope that you like my baby layout as much as I love it.
See you soon again!

Sunshine Bliss Cards with Ulrika

Hi! Ulrika here to bring you some summer inspiration as we have just passed Midsummer here in Sweden in northern Europe. I made two cards using the sweet, colorful Sunshine Bliss collection.

This card is more of a clean & simple one. I love these new dies with the tea pot and cups!

A detailed picture of the Celebrate Happiness card. What a perfect motto to live by!

Maybe I could send this card to a dear friend and invite her to a nice cup of tea?!

Until next time!
