Design Team: BoBunny Sleigh Ride with Shelly Maxwell

BoBunny Sleigh Ride holiday and winter collection being offered now is neutral in colors and dimensional in look. Check out a few projects I've been working on with the papers: 

This 12x12 layout is rustic in tone and feel. I like that it's colors in the collection are neutral making it very versatile:

The only thing dimensional on the layout is this die cut star (Tim Holtz Star Bright, 3-D) and chipboard letters:

However, the printed papers make the layout look like it has many layers when actually the layout is pretty flat:

Sleigh Ride inspired me to create a chipboard mini-album: "Snow Day 2015" using chipboard, BoBunny papers, doilies, die cut foil papers, ribbons, and buttons:

The variety of double sided card stock weight paper choices in the Sleigh Ride collection is amazing!:

These cards and tag came together so quickly-I can't wait to make more! The journal card paper came in handy for my card/tag fronts:

 Die cut glitter paper snow flakes add a bit of sparkle, buttons, twine, and foil papers add color and dimension.

 Again, you can see the look of the collection is very dimensional without actually being dimensional. The only thing I've added to the tag front below is a "twinkle" Tim Holtz die cut word from glitter paper and liquid pearl dot on the"i". 

Sleigh Ride is a gorgeous winter and holiday themed collection and you can pick up this collection plus all your papercrafting supplies at The Scrapbooking Studio in Moline, IL at their new location (1711 5th Avenue-just a few doors down from the previous location on 5th Avenue). 

BoBunny Design Team: Enchanted Forest with Shelly Maxwell

Enchanted Forest from BoBunny is a rich harvest of Butterflies, Sunflowers, Fairies, and more! Each double-sided heavy cardstock piece of 12x12 archival safe paper is seeded with rich, heartwarming images that you will "Fall" in love with just like I did. I've put together several autumnal themed pieces from this collection. Take a quick break and hopefully become inspired to create something of your own:

A layout, banner and card collection using Tim Holtz and  Taylored Expression dies. Here's the Layout:

Create this butterfly using a large butterfly stamp on vellum paper with Staz-on ink. Fussy cut image and flip it over. Use Copic markers on the "back side" to color butterfly. Adhere to layout with glue dots just below the body of the butterfly and allow the wings to be "free".

An Enchanted Forest banner with a message:

"Give Thanks" uses die cut letters from Tim Holtz's alphabet die.

 I used a gold metallic pen around the edges to add an outline pattern or "faux" stitching.

A Thankful collection of cards:

 A large tag folded in half serves as the base for this approximately 4x4" card. Eyelet and twine added for embellishments: 

Stop by The Scrapbook Studio, Moline IL for all your scrapbooking, cardmaking, and craft projects and grab some Enchanted Forest goodies while you're there, too! 

{Cards} Bo-Bunny's "Isabella" Collection

Create these three gorgeous cards using Bo-Bunny's Isabella collection:

Pre-printed 6x6 pages maker PERFECT card starters!

 I used Inky Antic's Mother's day stamp to create this card along with chipboard pieces from the matching 12x12 Chipboard sheet (self-adhesive). 

A Sympathy card create with the collection as sophistication and beauty when paired with the Isabella pearls. 

 You can create all three of these cards in virtually no time at all when you grab a few sheets pre-printed 6x6 pages.

{Project} BoBunny's Isabella Collection

This project came together quickly for me due to the inspirational and whimsical nature of the three metal flower pieces from Maya Road. The flowers are attached to a black chipboard base, I used paper from the Isabella collection for the flower backgrounds coupled with inspirational stamped word pieces on punched labels (pop-dotted) for dramatic effect in each flower. 

Studio Calico Canvas butterflies are AWESOME and come with about a bazillion in one package-I used my  Copic Markers to color this smaller chipboard canvas butterfly in matching grey and pink tones and used the Bo-Bunny Isabella gems to enhance the butterfly even more.

 To create the center circle I added pink bling around the interior wall of the flower and also as the bow's center. I added a small chipboard butterfly from the 12 x 12 chipboard embellishment page from the Isabella collection.

And for the third and final flower embellishment I used a fussy cut butterfly on a pop-dot. I gently folded the butterfly's wings upward as if he is lifting right off of the flower. Photo corners at the bottom of the wall hanging give it a finished look. I used a border chipboard trim piece from the 12 x 12 chipboard piece across the top of the base of the piece and pink twill through holes at the upper corners tied in a bow allowing the piece to hang.

You can create this too-just stop by

{Mini-Album} BoBunny's Isabella Collection

Create this elegant (and super easy) 4x6 mini-album using just a few papers from the BoBunny "Isabella" collection available NOW at

 The Scrapbooking Studio,

 1623 5th Avenue,

 Moline, IL 61265

 309-736-7242.

I used two BoBunny papers with pre-printed 4x6" mini-album pages, and my Bind-it-All to create this cute mini in no time at all (and very economically). It is the perfect spot to record summer vacation memories.

 I embellished several mini-album pages using the pieces from the 12 x 12 chipboard self-adhesive sheet, and some smaller journaling tags & fussy cut pieces left from scraps of the 12 x 12 papers.

I used my scalloped oval punch to use up some of my "extra" photos (see above) that I didn't use in my family's 12 x 12 album.

You can create this mini-album, too, buy stopping by The Scrapbooking Studio and grabbing a collection of papers & a sheet of the chipboard self-adhesive pieces.

{Layout} BoBunny's Isabella Collection

 Create beautifully elegant layouts using BoBunny's newest line of papers and embellishments, "Isabella" designed with butterfly, floral and lace motifs. This collection offers diversity and great compatibility due to the muted grey and cream undertones throughout the pieces. It really allows virtually any color pictures (or black and white pics) to match with the background papers.

 I coupled Inky Antic's saying stamp with fussy cut journaling tags and paper embellishments to create three layers of butterflies, lace, and interest.

 The matching 12 x 12 chipboard sheet is self-adhesive and contains numerous sized pieces to work with including butterflies & swirls.

I love the touch of yellow that was added to some of the butterflies! Stop by The Scrapbooking Studio, 1623 5th Avenue, Moline, IL 61265 to grab the entire collection. You'll want every piece. :)
