Candy Cane Cards - BoBunny (Yuletide Carol)

Hello Crafty Friends,
It's Karen...I'm here to share my third project of the month featuring the BoBunny Collection (Yuletide Carol). Can a Christmas card be made without using the color red? I would be the first person to have doubts but I challenged myself and I created two cards. Even though this kit has many very traditional designs, it also has some quite unique elements. I selected an ornate die cut candy cane shape to be my focal point.

Christmas Card - Prima Doll Stamp

Merry Christmas!

I'm so glad you stopped by today as I allow my inner child to play and share my love of paper dolls.  Julie Nutting dolls are the just the sweetest and I loved paper piecing this cute little Valentina doll as she is dressed for winter in her little boots. The BoBunny - Yuletide Carol Collection provided the perfect mini patterns to make the cutest dress. I just wish I had time to make all the different dress variations. Wishing everyone the very Merriest Christmas!

Traditional Holiday Ornament Card - BoBunny (Yuletide Carol)

Hello Ladies,
It's Karen here and I am thrilled to share my tutorial for a quick traditional Christmas Card using the BoBunny collection (Yuletide Carol). As a paper crafter, my best advice when designing is to follow the "rule of three." Select embellishments in odd numbers and frequently three works best. It provides the best balance and most visual appeal for the viewer. My card shows a simple example where three ornaments are prominently featured.  Keep this simple designing principle in mind next time you are creating

Directions:
1. Select a background paper and cover the entire card base.

2. Cut a border and attach it to the lower edge of the card base.

3. Select 3 ornament & bow die cuts. Adhere them with 3D foam tape.

4. Cut a 2.5" piece of ribbon and pinch it at the center to form a faux bow. Next, open the pins slightly and slide the brad over the ribbon to cinch it at the center point.

5. Adhere the faux bow over the paper die cut bow. Attach the remaining brads to the center of the die cut bows.

Bo Bunny (Christmas Collage) Card Set

     Make room for new craft supplies this holiday, by using up what you already have! Drea with the Design Team, and I'm back with an older, yet beautiful collection by Bo Bunny (Christmas Collage) featured on this set of cards. 

     I stamped and embossed the sentiment and stitching, using the Bo Bunny Stitches Stamp for the stitching. 

          Here's another set of cards that I made vertically, all mounted on white cardstock. 

     All of the stamps were fussy cut from the Bo Bunny (Christmas Collage) Papers, and the edges finished with Distress Inks (Vintage Photo and Frayed Burlap). 

     Thanks for looking, and stock up with new supplies at FotoBella.com! Merry Christmas!

Using Tags on Cards (BoBunny - Yuletide Carol)

Christmas Greetings!
I'm so glad you stopped by today as I share an easy way to embellish with tags. The BoBunny - Yuletide Carol Collection provided the perfect pattern paper that you can cut out individual tags. I just wish I had time to use all the stylish designs. These cards are great because they are quick to create for that last minute guest or forgotten relative.  Wishing everyone a fabulous Christmas Season!

Directions:
1. Cut out 3 tags from background paper. 

2. Select a background paper and cover the entire card base.

3.  Matte the large central image with green and attach the tags slightly staggered and overlapping using 3D foam tape.

4. Add a ribbon and lace bow to the central tag. Finally, embellish with a coordinating brad & wooden snowflake.

I love Novembers Scrapbooking Page

Hi everyone, Brandy from goodstuffmama.com here to share one of my favorite layouts for the Fall season using Carta Bella Our House 12X12 kit's fabulous and bright fall papers.

Every Thanksgiving we take photos outside at my aunt and uncle's home in front of my granddad's tool barn and I'm never disappointed in the photos. This year, I love how the clothing my daughter's chose for the day were a perfect match for this specific paper in the kit.

I embellished with the Carta Bella Our House Ephemera and the Carta Bella Our House Frames and Tags, finally filling in with the Carta Bella Cabin Fever enamel dots and a few Bo Bunny pearlescent drops in butterscotch.
