Heritage Photo Frame - Featuring Once Upon a Lifetime with Katherine

Hi BoBunny Fans!  Katherine here with a frame/gift that I made for my Dad using a picture of his Mum and also some of the beautiful vintage papers from Once upon a Lifetime.

I used the Oval Chipboard frame, covering if first with a couple of coats of white gesso, but I kept the brush strokes very rough in keeping the vintage style.  I then inked around the edges with some brown inks to pull out the brush strokes and I also added some copper wax in various areas to tie in with the coppers in the papers.

Whilst all the paint was drying I set to work on creating lots of flowers from the 6" pad and using the Perfect Petals die.  I inked the edges of each flower and then pinched up the petals to give them dimension, for the centre bud I curved the petals outwards and then chose a coordinating jewel for in the middle of the flower.

I used some of the smaller flowers on their own and tucked a doily as an extra layer of laciness underneath.  I cut some of the leaves out of the green paper and tucked these around too.

In the papers you get some fantastic vintage plaques so I cut out the one that said "Mother" to add at the base of my frame.  I also added in some of the BoBunny blossoms and crochet flowers to my paper garlands too.

Thanks for popping in today!  Come back and see us soon!

Unique Cards Made Simple and Easy featuring Black Tie Affair with Ayumi

Hello BoBunny Friends!!
  

Welcome back to the BoBunny Blog today!  It's Ayumi here for another post highlighting the Black Tie Affair Collection. This line is quickly becoming a staple for me.  It is especially a go-to when I make special cards for engagements, weddings or as you can see just a basic love theme.  I went for some easy and simple cards this time, specifically to illustrate just how striking black and white are paired together.  I showed the finished card and then a couple close ups of fun features that I will explain later in the post. 

Love Cards by Ayumi

Let me introduce a simple wedding card using, of course, Black Tie Affair and the We R Flower Punch Board.
This time I made flowers of XXS size (paper size is 1 3/4 x 6"). There are great instructions that come with the board itself, or you can just play around and see what sizes of flowers are your favorites! 

Punch the paper and attach fold lines.Fold the paper, kind of in a roundabout shape,so that the shape of a flower.

Attach glue and decorate with a brads.

Twist paper petals around the petal curler to mimic a natural,organic curve.

And, Voila! Flowers are finished! Super easy to use and even more fun to create multi layered flowers and even flower bouquets out of paper!  Aren't these elegant?

Thanks for stopping by and see you next time for more fun ideas, techniques and creative inspiration!.


Enjoy your happy day!

Elegant Wedding Card Ideas - with Black Tie Affair and Marilyn

Hello Everyone! It's Marilyn here to share with you two elegant clean and simple cards using the beautiful Black Tie Affair collection.

I

I started cutting three squares from different papers to create layers over a black card base. I adhered them with foam dots to create dimension between each layer.

I add the LOVE chipboard and cut three hearts from the combo sticker, I adhered them with foam dots. Next, I add some red gems for a little bit of sparkle.

My second card is simple and easy to create. I made the base with one of the Black Tie papers then I added a piece of black cardstock and made a dotted line with white gel pen on the edges.  I really love the end look of this trick. It looks like real stitching with the dark of the paper and the bright white of the pen.

I decided to use the Once Upon a Time big chipboard as the focal point of the card.

And, there you  go!  Two quick and easy cards, could be used for a wedding, anniversary, or just a kind thought and note to a friend.  Endless possibilities!

"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.

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

Traveler's Notebook/Album Pages featuring Charmed with Ginny

Hey there friends! Ginny here to share a travelers notebook layout using the Charmed collection.  The theme for this project is to insert things that make me happy.! The first pages I'm dedicating to my faith which is the foundation of my life.

This lovely Charmed collection has so many cut aparts and pretty paper patterns, I had a hard time deciding which ones I loved the very best for this post.

Fussy cut images from the 12x 12 sheet are layered here with a doily cut from the BoBunny Darling doily die.

I utilized an image from the BoBunny Faith collection to serve as devotional sentiment. It looks great layered over the cut out frame and give a subtle pop of color.

This tag will be the perfect place to add a bit of journaling for a remembrance  Last but not least I added a doodle border to frame the pages and tags.

Best of Fall-Pocket Photo Journal featuring Dreams of Autumn with Angela

Hello BoBunny Peeps,

Fall is finally coming here in Italy and all around here is getting yellow and orange and the sky is often grey. I love so much this season, it's like a second spring.

Well, if you haven't guessed yet, it's Angela here and today I'd like to share with you my first pages of the month of October, of my Misc Me Journal.

They are about a typical Sunday, spent with my family, during a gray fall day.
On the first page, I chose a 4 pocket divider with 3 black and white photos because I wanted to create a contrast between them and the 'right' photo of the page beside.

In fact, we had to shoot several pics, before taking a decent photo. We had so much fun and the pics were so hilarious, that I couldn't not include them in the pages of the day.
That's what's about the journaling and that's why I stamped that ridiculous emoji at the bottom :-P

On the contrary, I emphasized the beautiful selfie of my family and I with a joy of colored leaves, fussy cut from the Dreams of Autumn Noteworthy cardstock and sewed on an acetate page.

The result it's like a frame of the photo.

Turning the page, since the back of the leaves is brown, I decided to add a bit of color with a few sequins in the same shades of the leaves themselves.

Here is a close-up

Last is the page of the 'right photo', as I call it, that I put in a full page divider.

That's all for today, I hope to have inspired you, with these Misc Me pages, to create beautiful and fun Autumn projects.
Thanks for stopping by.
Love,
Angela
