Bo Bunny

Each day for 12 days, I have been showing card variations made with Karen Burniston’s Christmas Tree Pop-up die. I recommend watching her assembly video before attempting to cut and assemble the pop-up tree.

For all of these cards I started with an A7 size card base (10 x 6 ½ inches), but because my die cutting machine can only accommodate 6-inch-wide pieces of paper, I had to trim the cards down to 10 x 6 inches.

Day 11 – White Christmas

This card was inspired by my memories of the movie “White Christmas” with Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney and Danny Kaye (Yes, I had to look that one up and sure it wasn’t Bob Hope.) Every time I watch it, I keep wishing it would snow during certain scenes, but (SPOILER ALERT) it doesn’t really snow until the end of the last scene.

So this card is bit like the old inn with it’s wooden rustic floors, cold New England nights, and a bit sentimental. The tree may have the allusion of blurred tiny lights, but it is really a Bo Bunny paper of succulent plants.

For the embossed tree skirt, used an older Karen Burniston die set from her Elizabeth Craft Designs time called Cup Pop Stand. I embossed the card base and then cut the circle in the wood grained paper (from the same Bo Bunny Garden Party Collection as the succulent paper). The die cut “Merry Christmas” and tree squiggles on the front of the card are also cut from the succulent paper. The mittens sticker and the front sentiment topper came from the Echo Park Home for the Holidays Collection.

Day 8 – Nutcracker Greetings

After using lots of Christmas and winter themed papers, I decided to look at other paper collections in my stash though I would challenge myself to use the Bo Bunny Garden party Collection which includes many cacti and succulent plants as well as white roses.

For the card base I used two layers of a mosaic design in green. Because the cardstock is coated on the front, it makes it harder to get a sharp fold. I should have folded the outside and cut the inside into two pieces. To make for a flatter card when opened. The tree is cut from a striped paper in the collection and like other trees in this 12 posts blog, because the paper is print only on one side, I had to cut two of each of the center tall tree pieces and glue together. The smaller side tree pieces are a single thickness since the inside isn’t visible. The red cardinal and gold holographic star are cut from the Christmas tree die set.

Stickers from Echo Park’s Home For the Holidays collection finish out the decorations and sentiments for this card.
