Vintage Christmas Cards featuring Carousel Christmas - with Emmy


Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today with a brand new project to share with you! With Christmas just a few months away I decided that it time to start preparing my Christmas cards for this year. And the Carousel Christmas collection from BoBunny's latest release is just perfect for that!




And here are some close ups and tips and tricks on how I've created these cards:



I used a lot of pattern papers to create the different layers on my cards.




Then I added rhinestone swirls, glitter paste and Pearlescents dots to decorate the fussy cut images.



I also added different colored Double Dot jewels.










In between the pattern paper layers, I inserted die cut snowflakes and doilies.






To create the sentiment on this card, I die cut the Merry Christmas phrase three times from double-dot cardstock, adhered the three die cuts together to create a chipboard-like die cut and adhered it onto my card.






I hope you enjoyed today's post!
Come back soon for more inspirational projects from our design team!

Emmy xx

Mixed Media Holiday Cards featuring Carousel Christmas - with Ayumi


Hello BoBunny friends!!
It's Ayumi here. 
Today I'll share with you two cards using the beautiful Carousel Christmas collection!  

Christmas Cards By Ayumi Iwashita.




First,  I prepared the background for the card using stencils and structure paste for the texture on basic white card stock.
Then,  after the stenciled pattern was dry, I applied a few colors of glimmer spray for this nicely marbled look
Then, I made some tiny polka dots by using Sparkling Gold, Copper and Transparent Pentart Contour Liners at the edge of the card.



Then I fussy cut  the Christmas tree, bell and other elements from the paper to finish these cards. GORGEOUS!



The cut-out poinsettia has been layered over other poinsettias to give depth and visual appeal.



Enjoy your happy day!

Thank you.

Interactive Christmas Cards - with Angela

Hi everyone,

It's Angela here with you today sharing a couple of fun cards I've made with the BuBunny Santa and Friends Stamp Set.

I always love creating Christmas cards and it's never to early to start making them, since it's so easy to run out when it's time to send them!

The first is a shaker card. For making it I used the stamp of Santa with the scarf and the gift box, embossed in gold glitter and colored in red.

I filled the shaker with sequins in red and gold and three of the gift boxes that I stamped on a white piece of cardstock.

A little tip, to allowed the gift boxes to easily shake, I glued a one cent coin on the back of each of them!

The second card is a Peek-a-Boo.

This is how it presents when it's closed, but if you open the window...

A shaking gift, adhered to the card with a little wobble.

There's a 30 seconds video here below, where you can see how the two cards work; forgive me in advance for the 'special effects', but I couldn't resist, it was so funny! ;P




I hope you like my two interactive cards and thank you for stopping by.
