Love card by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)

This card about love. What is love? What is it? She quickly flies into our lives, just like a dragonfly - you do not have time to look back, and she's right in your heart! But it also is constant ... and it lasts as long as our clock is ticking - the heart ... This card about the fact that love is in our hearts always and every second!

Hello card by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)
 

This card is very simple. I used stamps cut paper circles and vellum to reduce the level of "roughness" here to create the background. This card is made just to say hello.

Ah, yes! Here again, a lot of different colors of pens - I like these light hints of color!

Fairy Card by Evgenia Petzer

It's no secret that I prefer dimensional cards, one easy way to get this effect is to stick the papers (layers) only in their middle and to leave the sides loose, you can see below the detailed shot and the doily has this effect and it brings extra air to my project.

You Are Beautiful Card by Evgenia Petzer

Now we continue with some fabulous cards with a mix & match theme from our lovely design team!

"Hello" Easel Card Box- Lisa Novogrodski

What's better than a card... an easel card box that's what!!! Hey BoBunny fans today I've mixed up "Our Lil' Monster, Modern Miss and Pop Quiz" (just to name a few) to create a combination card and gift box all in one. You can tuck a gift in the little drawer and you have a card for someone to treasure always. You can find a link to the tutorial I used to create this on my blog.

I enjoyed how well these collections worked together. The colors just blend beautifully and while they can be fresh and fun I chose to go grungy with lots of layering and texture.

Take a peek at this little drawer. I snuck in a little Silver and Gold brad as the pull!

Hello Card Tag- Lisa Novogrodski

I was very much into the "Hello" theme this month and what better way to tell a friend how much you adore her by creating a beautiful tag for her to cherish. You can use this as a gift topper, wine bottle topper or add it to a mini album.

I've got some "Modern Miss, Pop Quiz and Our Lil' Monster" once again! Don't they look great together? Thank you BoBunny for providing us with such great collections that work so beautifully together!

I'm a pile it on kind of girl.  I sometimes challenge myself to see how many layers I can add successfully!  You can never say "Hello" too many times. 

Have a look at the back... you can add a photo to this if you want to use it in a mini album. I always finish off the backs of my tags so they can be used in a variety of ways.

Love the Washi Tape! Adds another element of dimension and interest. I think it is my most favorite new product by BoBunny.

Our Little Girl by Romy Veul 

I just love the pink tones in the gorgeous Primrose collection and wanted them to stand out more. That's why I decided to mix this collection with a bit of The Avenues and Winter Woodland, because both collections have some wonderful neutral papers that beautifully contrast with the pink in Primrose.

I mixed the Primrose collection with one sheet of paper from the Woodland Winter collection and one die-cut from the The Avenues Noteworthy package. My cluster in the middle was made from a Primrose Noteworthy die-cut and a couple of chipboard pieces. I further embellished  my card with some bling and butterflies.

Girl by Romy Veul

The Pincushion and Baby Bump collections both offer some beautiful orange and white papers, that match each other perfectly. Therefore, I decided to mix the two collections when making this card. I actually used papers from the beautiful Pincushion collection, whereas all embellishments come from the lovely Baby Bump collection.

I layered four papers on top of each other and then did some die-cutting with my die-cut machine. I added all elements in the center of  my card. I then started embellishing my card with a couple of wonderful chipboard embellishments from the Baby Bump collection. Some of them are covered with a bit of glitter glue.

Love card by Solange Marques

Bo Bunny collections are very versatile and they can mixed .do with each other. To do this card I mixed Modern Miss and Pincushion collections.

I made a collage with leftover papers of Modern Miss and Pincushion collection. After I applied a thin layer of Acrylic Gesso and I removed the excess using a baby wipe. I also used spray inks and watercolor drops.

Celebrate Card Making with The Avenues

Fun Facts about World Card Making Day!

World Card Making Day began in 2006 as National Card Making Day. Founded by Paper Crafts magazine to bring card makers together at the beginning of the busiest card-making season  of the year, it was first held on October 7, 2006. The initial celebration involved the Paper Crafts magazine audience only; however, due to the positive response it received and the worldwide popularity of card making, the holiday became known as World Card Making Day from then on.

Garden Card by Evgenia Petzer

I love to fussy cut and the Avenues are prefect for this. I also love these soft muted colors and I like that you can add some bright accents to give the card/project that look that you feel like.

Love Card by Gabrielle Pollacco

I just can't get enough of scrapping with the beautiful The Avenues collection, and I can't bear to throw my scraps away either.  This card was literally made of a few little scraps I had left over from other projects.  Quick and easy!

Here I just hand cut two heart designs and machine stitched them for a homespun look.  Added some burlap and wrapped on some twine.  I topped it off with one of those adorable new wood clock embellishments!

Thank-you Card by Gabrielle Pollacco

I just love all the shutter, door, window and clock designs in this collection!  Using these little design elements make it quick and easy to create a fun and cheerful card.

I created blooms in just the shade of peachy pink I was looking for by using the coordinating patterned papers to hand-make my blossoms.  I used some kitchen cheesecloth to make my curtains for my card design.

Cherished Moments card by Bernii Miller

I created this card based around one of the paper cut outs that I found on the back of a The Avenues Treasures paper. The paper is made up of gridded accent embellished papers that take so much of the guess work out for me and help me to create a starting point for the card. So I based the card around the "Cherished Moments" paper and built up from there.

To help make my pearl frosting jewels last a little longer I cut it in half and placed it on either side of the flower. You would never know I did that and it helps to both balance out the design and to make my supplies go that extra mile.

You're Invited by Bernii Miller

This card was created for a high tea that I will be hosting for a few friends of mine very shortly . I created this card with the intention of keeping it simple yet elegant. The Avenues collection is a perfect fit for that design brief and I had fun creating a few extra elements that go along with this card. You can see more of what I made over on my blog weekendatberniis if you are curious.
