Winter PocketLetter with Marci

Hello! It's Marci here today with a Winter/Snow Mixed Media Pocketletter.  I was happy to be chosen as January's Guest Designer for (click & go)-> FotoBella.  I will , naturally, be swapping this with a fellow swapper; this happens to be my 36th Pocketletter, so you can see I am hooked!

I used a sheet from the BoBunny Winter Play Collection  as the background card in each pocket.  I used many other pieces from the same collection throughout this Pocketletter; for example, even border punching a strip for the side bar and then using Blue Rhinestones on top.  I coated many of the snowflakes on the paper with Stickles to make the sparkle.

I also used the ephemera pack from BoBunny called Whiteout Noteworthy throughout, for example I attached 2 "tickets" Family & Fun and then attached the stamped Julie Nutting snowman to those tickets. On the outside of the Pocketletter I fussy cut WINTER WONDERLAND, popped it with Foam Tape.  Then I attached G45 French Blue Rose Collection, tipping the leaves with texture paste to emulate snow.

I also include a shaker aspect in my Pocketletters.  In that pocket I have added Mica flakes, Micro Beads and Glass Beads. I made the shaker using 1/2 of one pocket using The We R Memory Keepers Fuse tool.   On 4 of the pockets you will notice a sporadic "spritz" using Tim Holtz Distress Spray.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bo Bunny Aryia's Garden Classic Beauty Layout

     Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all of you who are serving or have served our United States of America! Drea here with the FotoBella Design Team. My late grandma was no war hero, but was a hero to our family, so I scrapped this vintage photo of her with Bo Bunny's Aryia's Garden Collection Bundle from FotoBella.com, showing it's not just for spring.

 

    I started by picking out some of the white and grey papers from the 12 X 12 Collection Pack, and the floral and orange papers from the Ephemera. To match the tag, made previously for the Aryia's Garden Tag Set Tutorial, I rounded some corners with a punch and finished some of the edges with Bo Bunny's White Gesso and machine-stitching. Then I placed the Bo Bunny Harvest Orange Zinnia flower in between the tag and photo to draw the eye towards it with the bright color. The white rose behind it comes in the Noteworthy.

     For the title, I cut out "Classic" from black cardstock using my Cricut Expression. Then I gave it a coat of Copper Stickles to match the Double Dot Citrus Brads.

   
     I added the banner from the stickers, and hand-stitched the twine above it. The edges of the orange paper matting the photo were rubbed with Prima Marketing's Metallique Wax (Vintage Gold).

     The fun part was making this shaker window from the Chipboard filled with Prima Marketing's Mica Flakes (Frosted).
