Say I Love You Mom with DIY Cards

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today sharing my first project for May. Since Mother's Day is approaching this week is all about honoring all the mums out there. For my post I've decided to create cards using the amazing Count the Ways collection from BoBunny.

The bases for my cards I took from the Boxed Cards Set "Tuxedos & Tiaras". For the layers on top I used a smaller panel from white cardstock and an even smaller panel from pinkish pattern paper. I added extra pattern on the pink panel for my second card using clear stamp and brown ink. Then I inked their edges with brown ink and adhered them together using mounting foam tape. I added extra pattern on the pink panel for my second card using clear stamp and brown ink. 

Once all the layers were secured I started decorating my cards. I die cut and fussy cut different embellishments from pattern paper and I added chipboard stickers from the chipboard set matching the collection. 

For the word MOM I die cut the letter using pattern paper and BoBunny's Triple Play Alpha Die. I added also stripes of washi tape. 

As a final touch I added pink rhinestones and I splashed some white shimmering mist on top of all layers.

I hope I managed to inspire you today!

Come back soon for more inspirational projects from our design team!

Personalized DIY Mother's Day Card

Hello hello everyone!

Today I want to show you a Mother's Day card i made for my mother. I actually wanted to do a little bit of a different card this time so instead of using a colored digi or something like that I took a picture of my mother to use on the front side.

She also loves this heather color that is also similar to the color on this beautiful lilacs on the paper so this was a perfect paper to use for her. I did cut out some of the lilacs from the paper and use it as decorations on my card.

Some of the papers are perfect to cut out bits and pieces to use as decorations and so on and that is what I have done on this card. Also on the inside I decorated this card for her. Also used the sweet celebration stamps that has a lot of nice sentiment stamps for different occasions.

I hope you will like it.

Have a nice day!

How to Make a Family Heirlooms Mother's Day Mini Album

Hi Crafty Friends!!

Here is Elisa and today I want to share with you my new project made with Family Heirlooms BoBunny collection: the mini album "Dear Mom".

I wanted to create a project for Mother's Day. First I thought about a nice card... But then I changed my mind. Due to the Lockdown, now I can see my Mom only in video calls. I miss her so much, I can't  wait they give us the ok for visiting our relatives: she will be the first one for me!!!

So I decided to find out all the pictures we made in the last years and make a mini album for her!!! She appreciates my scrapbook projects, so I hope she will be happy about this!

When I saw for the first time the cardstock "Traditions" (side with bricks) I thought it would be perfect for a cover.  So I used this one and the cardstock "Pedigree" (dotted side): I wanted to create a "quite modern" background and then layering on that some  vintage elements (music sheet with violin, the distressed roses, the title made with typewriter keys).

I also decided to hand sew all the border with a very white thread (of course first I made all the holes before sewing.)

I decorated the spine with some die-cuts and a chipboard sticker medallion with the word Life.

In Family Heirlooms Noteworthy you can find very useful pieces!!! For example four tickets! I used one of them in a little pocket on the first page of the album.

I didn't use only the Notewothy package. I love fussy cutting... so I always study the papers in every collection to find some awesome element. Can you recognize the embellishment in the right corner?

Yes, I cut it on the Ancestors cardstock!

I used other two tickets for another pocket in the second page. As I did in the previous page, I put an eyelet on them and I tied a piece of burlap rope.

Every element can become a new pocket. 

In this collection I found the right words for this album... This page shows one of out tradition...

And she will be so happy about the roses!! They are her favourite flower!!

In this page you can see how I uses three square elements (Trinkets cardstock) to make three flaps. 

I used washi tape as hinge.

When we have a beautiful image on our cardstock we have to emphasize it! For example I didn't want to cover the woman on this page. But I added some other elements to create a layout.

As usual I also love to cut my pictures... I think that my mum is so nice in this photo (but the background was not the best...) so I give a new base to it!!!

This is a big pocket page. On the top I cut an oval space perfect for pull out the internal card.

I left some empty photo spaces for our next trips or days together.... I really want to take a lot of new picture with her!!

I hope you enjoy this project!! Watch this video walk through to see more!

Till next time!
