Check out these fun cards that our design team has created!

At This Moment Card by Juliana Michaels

I created this card to give to my Mom for Mother's Day. I thought the softness of this collection along with the peaceful floral images would be perfect to create a card for my Mom who loves to garden. To embellish the card, I machine stitched around the outside of the Primrose Noteworthy die cut with gold thread. I then added the pink jewels.

Cardstock: Double Dot in Chocolate Chip





Live Beautifully Card by Juliana Michaels

I created this card using the scraps from my At This Moment Card (above). In total, I used only 3 sheets from the 6x6 Primrose paper pad. Here are the scraps that I had left. I always find it easier to make a card with scraps. In fact, these will probably be used on a card as well. 

To embellish this card, I added more gold machine stitching and jewels. I dressed up the die cut from the Primrose Noteworthy pack, by adding a brad and jewel to its center.

Happy Birthday Card 1 by Ilene Tell

You know what I never have enough of? Masculine cards. I keep making flowery, pretty cards because they're fun and well... so pretty. But they really don't work well when you need a card for a man! So I decided to challenge myself to make two birthday cards that would not be flowery or girly and could be given to a guy. I pulled out two masculine-colored collections: "Pop Quiz" and "Woodland Winter". Believe it or not, they work really well together.

I couldn't resist embellishing with a little kraft wood mustache.

"Pop Quiz" has a great sheet called "Bookworm" that has all these tags and library cards. I decided it would be great to have a matching gift tag to add to the gift bag or just the gift itself, so I simply cut it out, inked the edges, and embellished with a large eyelet.



And here is the inside of this card, using the "pop Quiz" lined paper called "Midterm" - I used it inside both cards to give me a place to add my greeting and sentiment.

Happy Birthday Card 2 by Ilene Tell

Another masculine card using "Pop Quiz". I really love the colors and patterns in this collection. It is definitely very school-themed and perfect for those types of layouts, but it's still flexible enough to use for other purposes as well.

Again, I used the Kraft wood for embellishments. And I also added a coffee cup kraft chipboard sleeve that I tore at the bottom, to give it a bit more of a rugged feel.

And here is the little matching tag I made for this card as well. They're so cute :) The inside of this card is finished with the same lined paper as the card above.

Are you loving the Pinterest inspiration board projects? Enjoy these fabulous layouts!

Make A Wish by Lisa Novogrodski

I totally fell in love with this Pinterest inspiration board and pulled all the colors from it to put this layout together. I created a video tutorial to show you how I designed this page and you can find that on my blog by clicking on my name in the title.

I mixed several collections to achieve the color variation I wanted to match the board and you can see how beautifully they work together.

I really loved the roses and rosettes in the pinterest photo and I just took that and ran with it here!

I also wanted to create a page with lots of movement and used string and paint dripping to achieve that effect!

The frosting on the cake reminded me of torn paper strips. I LOVE adding those to my pages these days with some stitching.

Pattern Paper: Happy Tails/HappyTails; Bookworm/PopQuiz; Fascinating, Dramatic/ Modern Miss; Breathtaking/ Primrose

Cherished Moments by Romy Veul

I was totally inspired by the beautiful color combination in the Pinspiration mood board. It inspired me to work with the gorgeous The Avenues collection and focus on the beautiful pink, blue, white and grey papers from this collection.

I did a lot of layering on this lay-out and layered both papers and embellishments upon each other. The clocks were cut out from the "Clocks" paper and were attached with foamtape. The lovely butterflies are from the Primrose collection. I slightly folded their butterflies to make it look like they are flying. 

To add some blue to my lay-out I attached the chipboard shutters from the The Avenues Layered Chipboard package on both sides of my lay-out and also added a die-cut banner from the The Avenues collection below my photo. Sometimes a contrasting color can make your photo stand out a little more.

Little Baby Boy by Amy Voorthuis

When I saw the pinterest inspiration board we had to work with I instantly fell in love, so many pretty elements on there! I really got inspired with the pinwheel picture in the lower middle part of the board.

Because BoBunny followers would love to see a double layout once in a while I made mine a double one.

When I started scrapping 10 years ago I use to make only double pages many of my scrapbook friends called me the queen in double pages. I can't believe how quickly I forgot how much fun it is to make double pages and I really intend to make more while I'm on this wonderful team.

I combined several collection because I wanted to show you all how well all the BoBunny collections go together. The dot papers are from "Woodland Winter" one of my all time favorite collections they ever made.

For my background it did some pasting, inking and stamping. I layered the butterflies to give them more depth.

Home Decor and Trends

If you had to guess the favorite trend of our designers this week what would it be?

If you guessed doilies you are right! Doilies were used in a variety of ways this week! Cards, Layouts, Misc Me and today in home decor projects!

BoBunny has fabulous doilies in 3 different sizes that can be used for all sorts of projects! If you haven't tried them yet you ought to! 

Sew Cute by Lynn Shokoples

There are many trends for the New Year in scrapbooking. I chose to highlight some of my favorites in this project, vellum, wooden embellishments and doilies. I have all my sewing supplies in a plastic makeup bag, so I thought it was time to put them into something fun to keep in my studio. I layered the doilies on the front with some of the wooden butterflies from the Kraft collection along with a few wooden spools of thread which I covered with the circles from the patterned paper. I also glued some of the Burlap Pleated Lace on the lid of the box to hold some stick pins.

I couldn't resist decorating the inside of my sewing box. I used the patterned paper along with a few sheets of vellum to make the flowers. I thought I should add my favorite saying for when I am quilting "Measure Twice, Cut Once" as a reminder.

Dance by Tracee Provis

There are always new trends in the Papercrafting world and some I skip right over and others are with me for a long time. Doilies happen to be a particular favourite of mine and I have incorporated them into lots of my creations. For this project they are the main focus and I have used them in a couple of different ways.

Firstly I used them to decoupage this plain wooden frame, I started by using gesso all over the frame, then glued pieces of them all around the edges, I used a further coat of gesso and then dry brushed some black paint to highlight the patterns. Finally I sprayed some gold mist to give it an aged look.

You can paint or spray the doilies (taking care when they are wet that you don't break them), I chose to do both here and I then used the sprayed ones as a mat for my silhouettes and the painted ones I tucked around the inside edges of my frame. A fairly simple project with a striking result don't you think?

Winter Fur by Irene Tan

The trends which I've picked to create this layout with are watercolors and feathers. I love using watercolors on my layouts. They are so versatile that you can use it to create whatever background you want for your layout. In this layout, I've used it to add colors, masked a feather image and create a flow direction. I've used the misting and splattering techniques to create my background.

To create the feel of "winter fur", I've incorporated the use of feathers on this layout. I've used the feathers and some cut out chevrons to create the flowing direction in the design of this layout.

Game Time by Juliana Michaels

Incorporating the latest trends into your scrapbook pages is so much fun. The trends I choose to use on my layout are doilies and gold. I used the 3 different sizes of BoBunny doilies to customize my background paper. Then, I added touches of gold using a Gold Krylon Leafing Pen and chipboard from the Head Over Heels 12 x 12 Chipboard.

1968 Holiday - Megan Gourlay

Every year new and exciting trends are introduced that help feed the excitement and artistic drive that scrapbooking brings.  A couple of trends that I love are doilies and wooden embellishments.  I particularly love heritage style scrapbooking and using doilies and wooden embellishments  adds the perfect dimension to projects, blending together to  create a softer  layout.

Ive cut apart some of the doilies to help them go further, and used two of the different sizes that are available.  In this case Ive left them in their natural state but they can be easily altered using inks and stamps etc.  Ive also kept my clock hands natural and again these are easily altered.

Designer Tip: By using a craft knife to partially cut the design on the base paper allows for layering in behind the main design

Mix and Match Scrapbook Pages 2

We continue our Mix and Match Week here on the BoBunny blog with more scrapbook pages. Today, Denise and Maryia really show you how to mix it up. Denise used five different collections and Maryia used nine. Now that is mixing and matching for sure!

Beauty by Denise van Deventer

I used a combination of Zip-A-Dee-Doodle, Pincushion, Head Over Heals,Woodland Winter and Fright Delight collections.Can you believe that?! I made sure that I incorporated black, as I needed to ground my photo on the various patterned papers.  The black also adds to the slightly grungy, yet shabby feel.

I made some flowers with die-cuts and instead of using leaves, I used some wool, which was rather thready. It added a different texture to the page, which I loved.

Since a large percentage of this layout was created with Pincushion, I thought it would be a nice touch to include some sewing, so I sewed my buttons to the page.

Happy Day by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)

I always love to mix and match different products and materials in my projects. I never worry about whether materials are from the same collection. It's much more interesting to me, to find my own combination and to mix it up!

 On this layout I used nine different collections. Can you find them all?

As always, my LO includes a lot of paint, ink and doodling.

Mix and Match Wall Art and Gift Box

Mixing and matching is so much fun! Are you enjoying our BoBunny Mix and Match Week so far? Today, Keri and Romy are going to inspire you with some Off The Page projects they have created using a wonderful mix of BoBunny collections. Keri has created a gorgeous piece of wall art and Romy a beautiful gift box.

Love Wall Art by Keri Babbitt

I've been wanting to make some neutral decor for the music practice area in our home, so when I saw this musical-notes paper (Woodland Winter - Cozy), it was a perfect start.  Mixing & matching products from different collections has always been one of my favorite ways to create, so I got right to work.  I sifted through all the gorgeous products from Woodland Winter, Pincushion, and Head Over Heels, to find neutral products with a vintage vibe.

Designer's Tip:  When working with a monochromatic project, look for patterns in different scales & motifs to give the project contrast.  I used this idea on my project by placing the larger-scale floral in between the layers of diagonal stripes & music notes.

I love the beautiful variety of neutral embellishments that BoBunny offers.  The fabric, chipboard, buttons, and doilies add so much texture and dimension to this shadowbox decor piece.

Love Gift Box by Romy Veul

It's usually the more bright papers that get my attention first, but this time around I decided to go for a less bright and happy and more masculine colour palette when making a gift box for Valentine's Day for my boyfriend. To make this gift box I combined two different collections: Zip-a-Dee-Doodle and Head Over Heels. The black and white papers from the Head Over Heels collection matchthe papers from the Zip-a-Dee-Doodle collection perfectly. I found that the hint of blue in the Zip-a-Dee-Doodle papers and embellishments added just the perfect amount of colour.

The layered chipboard stickers are actually my favourite embellishments from Bo Bunny. I often go for an even more layered look by stapling different stickers on top of each other, just like I did with the banner, the heart and the arrow on top of this gift box. I absolutely loved this chipboard heart sticker and have been waiting for the perfect occassion to use it. I figured that by layering it on top of other stickers I could turn it even more into a real eye-catcher on my gift box.

Designer Tip: When working with different collections, it can be very helpful to first select all papers and embellishments that you want to work with and to decide which colour combination you want to use. If you already have an idea in mind, it becomes much easier to mix and match collections on an altered item.
