Bo Bunny Timepiece Card Kit

Bo Bunny had card kits on sale at Scrapbook Steals this week … and since the choices included several of my favorite collections, and my stash of miscellaneous cards is a bit depleted, I decided to give it a try.  

This post includes four of the cards I made with the Timepiece Collection.  The Card Kit includes everything you need to make 8 cards for a variety of occasions.  

This tie reminds me of the clip-on ties my dad wore when I was young … and it made me smile.  I did need to add some foam tape under the edges of the sentiment pieces to keep everything level over the chipboard heart.

The *old-school* rub-ons reminded me who I almost exclusively use EAD Designs Vinyl Rub-ons.  I had several mis-cues when trying to get the rub-ons to adhere, but I did like the sentiment size & fonts.  

For this card, I used an EAD clear sticker for the sentiment since I wanted another multiple birthday cards & there was only one birthday sentiment.

I loved that there was a combination of chipboard & cardstock stickers.  It really ads visual interest to the designs.  I did do some sanding and trimming to remove the little nibs left after punching out the cardstock from the sheets.  

For this card, I did add a ribbon scrap around the chipboard key rather than using the included ribbon sticker.

One of my general pet peeves about printed die cuts is that the images don't align with the cuts (as you can see in the pocket watch on the right where there is more border on the right side than the left), but it was minor and mostly works with the *grungier* theme of this collection.  

I liked that the card bases were different sizes and had details like die cut edges & faux stitching, although the card base papers were thinner than the cardstock I usually use (however they all stood-up on their own for photographing, even with heavier chipboard stickers attached).  

All-in-all the card kit was very well done with clear instructions (embellishments were numbered) and it really stayed true to the design elements I love about this collection.
