Calendar Pages on Leap Day!

It's leap day in the US so to celebrate a day that only comes around once every four years two of our designers have used calendars as elements on their layouts!

Look at how Irene circled February 14th with a heart on her calendar. That just makes me go "awwww". I love it!

Card Challenge Tuesday

Today we have a fun challenge to share with you...create a card using your favorite Bo Bunny Stamps! For some of us, stamping is our thing. We love it, we feel comfortable with it and it is our go-to choice for embellishing or adding our own touch to our projects. For others, it is something we might tend to shy away from. It intimidates us and makes us a bit uncomfortable. Well, if you are someone who loves stamping, this challenge is for you. It will be super easy right?! However, if you are someone who is not so comfortable with stamping, well...this challenge is just that, a challenge. And we challenge all of you to play along. Even some of the Bo Bunny designers fall into these categories and I bet you all would be surprised to find out just who they are! Sit back, relax and take a peak at these awesome cards. You are sure to be inspired to try your hand at some stamping!

Butterfly Congrats Card

Country Garden Card Kit

Patterned Paper: Seeds/Country Garden

Stamps: Country Garden

Jewels: Et Cetera

Designer Tips:

1. Use a marker to add doodling or details to your stamped images. I used a fine tip marker to add small dots following the outline of the large butterfly image.

2. Stamp your image using a clear pigment ink, apply clear embossing powder and then heat set it. Repeat this process as you stamp images randomly over the background of your paper. Once the images are completed, you will have a nice watermark look that adds another element of detail to your card.
