Cutting a Cameo Background #RememberingChristy

June 2, 2018 No Comments

This week we are visiting the fall 2015 issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. In this issue, Christy Riopel had a ton of fun creating with Spellbinder dies and the Grand Calibur die cutting machine. One of the projects Christy created for this article, featured a cameo background she cut out using a die and a die cutting machine. So simple and so stunning. You will want to try this. Cutting A Cameo Background by Christy Riopel Sometimes it is nice to remove some of the background from a photo without cropping the entire image. This cameo style of cutting, is a beautiful and unique technique that will allow you to do just that. 1. Hold the chosen circle or oval die over the photo. Cut along the part of the image that you want to keep from the outside edge in, making slits in the photo. 2. Weave the die into the photo,…

Petal Lane by BoBunny

June 13, 2017 No Comments

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a layout I created from the BoBunny collection called Petal Lane. The colours are mostly soft pinks and yellows with some striking black and the patterns dominated by flowers and bicycles. It’s gorgeous! Although it’s a feminine colour palette, it works for a lot of other photos too. Here, I used it for my son’s kindergarten class picture. Here’s an image of the Petal Lane Collection pack. I was inspired by some small hearts on one of the sheets of patterned paper to add some more hearts with the BoBunny Lots of Love stickable stencil and some BoBunny glitter paste. These stencils are fabulous to use because they don’t move around while you are applying paste. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any yellow glitter paste in my stash, but I used the colour called ‘Sugar’, which is basically clear. After it dried, I coloured it with…

Baby Love – with Elizabeth Craft Designs, BoBunny and Quietfire Design

February 12, 2017 2 Comments

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a layout featuring a selection of dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I used the Butterfly 1 die from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the Believe patterned paper collection from BoBunny to cut a swarm of winged insects from bits of patterned paper (a great way to use up scraps)! This was about the fourth layout I’ve created with the Believe collection. I just adore the colours – they are so bright and happy and versatile! As an aside, here’s a layout I did for the Quietfire Design Digital blog using the same papers. Totally different look. Anyway, for the Baby Love layout, I started with a plain piece of white cardstock and just spritzed a little Dylusions spray ink from Ranger on kind of a diagonal line to add a bit of interest to the background. Then I added the title cut using a brand new…

Love Card with Katelyn Grosart

January 26, 2017 3 Comments

Hey Creative Scrapbooker Fans! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and although I don’t normally create a lot of projects for Valentine’s Day, I wanted to create a few special cards for those special people in my life. Using the Butterfly Kisses Collection from Bo Bunny, some chipboard pieces from Southern Ridge Trading Company and pairing them up with new quarry stones and embossing powder from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies as well as a variety of products from Ranger Ink, I was able to create this beautiful vintage “Love” card. Make sure to grab a cup of your favourite beverage as I show you how to create the elements on my card as well as inspire you to recreate this project in the comforts of your own home. From Bo Bunny’s Butterfly Kisses – Peaceful paper, cut a piece that measures 5 ¾” x 5 ¾”. Once the piece…

Kerry Engel with Pentart distributed by Bo Bunny

January 22, 2017 8 Comments

Feeling Rusty by Kerry Engel This page looks like it should weigh about 3 pounds. But it doesn’t. Those gears – they are totally fake. What would take nature about 5 years to accomplish I created in roughly 20 minutes, with a little help from Pentart Rust Effects distributed by Bo Bunny The gears were cut using a Tim Holtz die cut from Sizzix. I covered them in Ranger black gesso and pressed the Rust Effect powder distributed by Bo Bunny into the wet gesso. Then I added the Rust Effect Reagent from Pentart distributed by Bo Bunny on top and brushed it around with an old paintbrush. Once dry I covered in the Pentart Varnish. I thought that would seal in the rust shavings. The gears remain pliable and very light weight. They look very realistic and give my page some lovely texture. I think I’ll do this on…

Tuesday with the Team with Jayme Loge – Featuring Bo Bunny

January 10, 2017 1 Comment

Good day Creative Scrapbookers! Jayme Loge here with a quick post of my layout based on the Creative Scrapbooker Sketchy Challenge November 2016 sketch. I love using sketches to get me started, and my process generally goes like this: Choose my photo Search my stash for papers and embellishments that compliment the picture(s). Grab the sketch and go! Depending on the day, the resulting layout can be quite a bit like the sketch or nothing at all like it! The latter happened here: Supplies: Bo Bunny patterned paper, stickers and embellishments, Prima alphabet stickers. The majority of my layout was put together using the Bo Bunny Soiree collection. The tiered rectangles ended up overlapping and becoming a shabby layered background, and the sketch took a 180 degree turn! I never worry about how close my result looks compared to the sketch though. My mantra is that the sketch is…

Tuesday with the Team with Kerry Engel and Bo Bunny

January 3, 2017 8 Comments

Bo Bunny: Kiss the Cook Collection and Kerry Engel The Kiss the cook collection from Bo Bunny was perfect for a family perogy-making day we had last summer. I created my title on my cutting system and filled the letters with the Kiss the Cook paper collection. I combined my handmade title with letters from the collection to create my own original title grouping. I like using the small paper pads because I like layering different papers underneath my feature photo. The smaller pads give me access to all the papers in the collection. The large chipboard elements in the collection add yummy layers and textures. To create my background I scraped Ranger gesso onto the kraft colored cardstock with an old hotel room key. I created some green/grey shading on the Ranger gesso with a Tombow Dual brush marker. I drew around my photos and elements with a marker…
