"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.

cottontail_layout_angela_apr18_01.jpg


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

Hello BoBunny Friends!! It's Ayumi here.  

Welcome back to the BoBunny blog today!  We all know Easter and springtime go hand in hand, and so does the theme of this card!  This time I'll share with you a twist on a spring handmade card featuring the new Cottontail collectionThe front of the project is decidedly Easter-ish , even though Easter was the day before yesterday. I thought it would be exciting to show the idea for the card, and the how to's to make it for Easter or for a sweet springtime/gardening themed pop-up card


The Cottontail collection is very cute with sweet colors and gorgeous pattern paper.  Very Vintage-y!


Noteworthy has a lot of cut out parts with scads of flowers and other elements too. 


And...... then, for the big reveal, opening the card unfolds the garden in full view!

Happy Easter 12 x 12 Layout features Cottontail and BoBunny Essentials with Marilyn


Hello Everyone!

It's Marilyn here today to share with you an Easter page that I created with the beautiful new Cottontail collection.  I'll take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Easter!


I took this beautiful neutral ivory paper from the collection I find it's easier to highlight soft colors if you use a neutral base like I did in this page. I cut from the papers the different images like the adorable eggs, flowers, fence and tag then I adhered them with Sticky Thumb adhesive foam dots to create dimension, and a nice focal point for the right side of this page.


I gave textures and design on the background with a Flower Power Stickable Stencil and white gesso. After it was dry, I traced the shapes of the flowers with gel pens in colors similar to the papers, to make the flowers pop! I placed some mint colored craft grass and some 3D balls for a taste of mixed media, and some extra Easter flavor!


I distressed all the eggs with ink and added a dot of Pearlescents in Butterscotch color in the center of each flower.


I love the simple title I chose here. It's the adorable Happy Easter layered chipboard from the same collection.


Finally,  I added some pearls here and there for the final touch!! I hope you find some inspiration...Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter Greetings - Handmade Cards featuring Cottontail, Double Dot Damask and BoBunny Essentials Dies with Denise


Hello BoBunny Fans!

It's Denise here today, to share some cheerful Easter greeting cards with you, using some tried and true BoBunny staple items along with the gorgeous Cottontail Collection. This set has elements for Easter and all occasion spring, with a distinct "vintage" flavor.

Here is the first of my two cards that I created for you today.  In addition to Cottontail, I used Double Dot Damask and a couple of my favorite go-to dies.


Cotton Tail_Easter Card_Denise_29 Mar_01


I used dies and layeres lots of die-cuts on this first card to create the center and focal point. I also used BoBunny cardstock to create the little blue flowers and the fresh leaves. Here's a closer look at that center element piece, with the stamped sentiment.

For the second card, I really went to town with fussy cutting and just used beautiful, patterned papers to create it. The pretty patterns on the papers caught my eye and I just knew that I would have to use them.

I also fussy cut those small, pretty orange flowers and then used some Pearlescents for the middle of the flowers.

This card ended up with various layers, but all from patterned paper and so even though it is detailed, it is really economical, as I did not need any embellishments.


I hope this will really inspire you to make the most of your staple patterned papers too.


Thanks so much for stopping by the BoBunny blog today.

Have a fabulous day!

Happy Easter! - Flower Gift/Treat Box Table Decoration featuring Cottontail with Angela





Hi Everyone!
It's Angela here today and, first of all, I would like to wish you a Happy Easter coing up this weekend!
Here are a few of the gift boxes I prepared, for my family and my friends.
The tradition of decorating and giving away Easter eggs is something special to me and every year I struggle to find something new.
This is what I end up with this time, a gift box with chocolate eggs inside.
easter_flower__box_angela_apr18_01.jpg
Each box is decorated with a flower on the top, made with the Flower Punch Board by WRMK and a doily made with Darling Doily BoBunny die. Everything is made using BoBunny Double Dot papers, which has several shades of colors with the same pattern. Particularly, for the boxes I used the Chevron collection and for the doily the Damask collection.

The front of the box has a see through window, stamped with the word Joy. I think it's nice to see what's inside, because chocolate is always a good idea and it's appreciated from everyone.

Here is a pic of the boxes setting seen from the top, a bundle of colorful flowers that makes a happy Easter table and a fun take away for each person to enjoy on their way home from Easter Dinner. .

I hope you like this Easter box idea and let me wish you, once again Happy Easter!

NG

Happy Easter Wall Decor Project featuring Cottontail and We R Flower Punch with Ginny


Hello There Friends and a Happy Friday to you!

I hope you're all doing well. Ginny here today to share a fun and vintage-y holiday wall hanging I created for Easter. Spring has sprung and I'm so excited to use this colorful and fun new BoBunny paper!

Happy Easter Wall Hanging by Ginny Nemchak for BoBunny using the Cottontail Collection and WeRMemory Keepers Flower Punch Board

I'm using the oh-so-sweet Cottontail Collection for this charming little decor piece. For the base I created a large flower with the We R Memory Keepers Flower Punch Board and some patterned paper then added it to a layer of Double Dot cardstock for a nice border and to give a bit of sturdiness.

The Noteworthy die cuts have a fabulous selection of coordinating themed elements to choose from. I was going for a shabby chic color scheme so I picked the white fluffy bunny and layered it over the picket fence from the Layered Chipboard Stickers.

To balance the right hand side of the wall hanging I added an arrangement of BoBunny Blossoms to coordinate with the patterned papers.  Additional patterns from the collection, the Double Dot paper and the scalloped edge from one of the die cuts add detail and interest to the bottom.

A few eyelets with gingham ribbon strung through create a hanger for displaying. Doilies tucked in create fullness in the arrangement and provide a break from the busy patterns.  Last but not least a few Double Dot Jewels for  a little sparkle and shine.

Sit back and watch the step by steps if you'd like! Thanks for dropping in today!  See you again soon!




Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : )
