"Delight In The Everyday Moments" Mixed Media Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful month. Today's post is a mixed media layout filled with textures, dimension and layering. Let's get started. My layout is a 12x12 which began with just white cardstock and I did a lot of stamping using archival ink so it will not react with liquids. I then applied through a pretty flowered stencil some Paper Texture Paste and allowed it to dry. Once dry I then did some water coloring with Lindys "Grab A Guy Gold". Also splattered some black gesso here and there. On the left side of the layout you will see that I used Reneabouquets Garden Bouquet Lace-2" Wide White. It is tucked nicely under all the florals. In the right hand corner you will also see Printed Beautiful Board Large Sweet Garden Butterfly Fairy With Glass Wings Set and tucked under the florals is the Beautiful Board Spring Butterfly Laser Cut Chipboard Set of 3 which I painted white. Beautiful Board Small Feathers Set of 3 Laser Cut Chipboard as well as Beautiful Board Large Quilling Flourish Set of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard were painted white and added to the layout. For some fun texture I added some Art Stones and sprinkled Reneabouquets Hand Tinted Buttercream Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass. Florals that were used are Mini Soft Ivory Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Honey Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers and White Roses, Gardenias & Leaves Mulberry Flowers.  The pretty little daisies you see are Printed Beautiful Board Large Tuck It In Sweet Daisy Laser Cut Chipboard. And new to the store are these sweet tiny butterflies in several colors, I used Butterfly Kisses Fairy Dust Gold Single Side Printed Butterflies and  also in Silver. Some of the butterflies I attached silver wire and have them hovering over the layout. In between the butterflies I applied some more bling to finish off the project with Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. I hope you were inspired and enjoyed this layout. xoxo Toni

"Hello Sunshine" Altered Cutting Board by Toni

 Hi everyone, well summer is truly here !!!! Hope you are enjoying your time. Today I have a fun project that I have been wanting to do for quite some time. I love to change my decor out to different seasons and in June I changed my kitchen area to lemon yellow, black and white. I love the contrast. Well what would go perfect on some decor but Reneabouquets NEW Lemon Blossom Collection. 

I had purchased this cute little cutting board from the Dollar Tree months ago and knew that it would be involved in project eventually. I began by decoupaging a buffalo check black and white napkin to the front of the board. I then gave it a light dry brushing of white gesso. Once dry I gave it a layer of Rock Candy Crackle Paint for a pretty shine. I then assembled the Large Rectangular Shaker Box DIY Kit (also new to the store). I filled it with some pretty shaker items, No Hole Pearl Glass Microbeads, No Hole Lime Green Glass Microbeads, Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass, Printed Beautiful Board Large Tuck It In Lemon Blossoms Chipboard, and also from my stash assorted sequins in coordinating colors. 

The gorgeous bee used here is Lemon Blossom Bees Premium Paper Body with Double Wing Layers .The NEW Printed Beautiful Board Large Lemon Blossom Corners were used at the bottom and I added Hand Tinted Buttercream Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass to the lemons. 

The top of the cutting board was decorated with a messy bow, some jute and  Honey Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers. I then took the Printed Beautiful Board Large Lemon Blossom Branches and once again added more of the Hand Tinted Buttercream Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass to the lemons. 

I hope you enjoyed this project, I can't wait to display this in my hutch. Until next time.... blessings. If you want to get your hands on some of these NEW printed beautiful board pieces and more our store this month is offering a wonderful coupon. Here are the details.

Altered Frame by Toni

 Hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful month. Today I have a frame I picked up at the Dollar Store and altered it to suit one of my favorite photos of my little furry boy Bubba. This is such an easy project how you can take something inexpensive and customize it for yourself.

I did a bit of stamping on the cardstock that I used with a honeycomb stamp. Stamped it here and there around the photo. The cardstock I used is from Country Craft Creations "Bee House", a simply gorgeous collection of papers. I fussy cut some of the flowers to place around the left side of the frame to build my foundation. The florals I used are the Mini Old Gold Mulberry Paper Roses and Leaves, Caramel And Sugar Roses, Gardenia and Leaves and the Honey Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers. 

I used some BRAND NEW items from the store on this frame, first up I used Printed Beautiful Board Small Sugar Bee Hive Laser Cut Chipboard, above the corner of the photo is the Beautiful Board Small Sugar Bee Corners Laser Cut Chipboard. The gorgeous bee I used is our Sugar Bees Premium Paper Glitter Glass Bee. I also added the Beautiful Board Medium Bee Hive Elements Laser Cut Chipboard and I cut it into pieces and added 3 layers of UTEE embossing powder to it for the illusion of honey. 

Here is a close up of that pretty sugar bee. 

Then from the trinket department in the store I had to use Reneabouquets Queen Bee Clock Charms Trinket Pack. For the centers of the flowers I dropped beads of hot glue into the middle of some microbeads, wait for them to dry and then place them in the middle of the flowers. The microbeads used are No Hole Old Gold Glass Microbeads and also No Hole Pearl Glass Microbeads . 

I hope you enjoyed this project and encourage you to take a frame and do some altering to it. Wishing you a BEE utiful rest of the month... xoxo

"Bon Appetit" Mixed Media Layout by Toni

 Hi everyone and hope you are all having a wonderful month. Today I have a layout I created with layers, dimension, textures and lots of Reneabouquets items. Let's get started. 

The paper collection I used is Mintay "Homemade" and I did some fussy cutting of some of the images to place on dimensional foam. Beautiful Words Medium Bon Appetit Laser Cut Chipboard was the perfect title for this layout. I colored it with some Distressed Inks and added a coat of Rock Candy Crackle Paint. Then applied some Art Alchemy Wax in White Pearl to bring forth the cracks from the paint. The hearts I used, Beautiful Board Victorian Heart Doilies Laser Cut Chipboard Set, I applied the same mediums to them as well. I cut heart shapes out of the cardstock to have a different color cardstock peeking through the beautiful board. Down towards the bottom I added one of RB trinkets which is the Silver Spoons Trinket Pack. In the very center of the layout I used Beautiful Board Medium Romantic Heart Pattern Laser Cut Chipboard. The sweet tiny butterflies used here are the Butterfly Kisses Delicate Beauty Single Side Printed Butterflies. The florals I used from RB store are the Itty Bitty Blossoms and Leaves Timeless Blue, Mini Dusty Blue & Ivory Mulberry Paper Roses, and the Antique Linen Roses. Tucked inside the florals are the Beautiful Board Bits Skeleton Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard and Beautiful Board Bits Rose Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard. And what would my layout be without adding a bit of sparkle to the layout with Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter, which looks just like sugar on this layout. I hope you enjoyed and to watch my layering process I have provided you a video below. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the month of May.

"Love Is The Thread That Binds Us" 4D Purse w/ Accordion Mini Album by Toni

 Hi everyone, today my project for Reneabouquets Design Team is her 4D Purse Kit along with an accordion mini album. 

I started my project off using the Beautiful Board 4D Purse With Small Shelf Do It Yourself Laser Cut Chipboard Kit. The paper collection I chose was Stamperia "Threads" I cut the paper to the sizes needed to cover the purse and then I machine stitched around all the pieces. This kit is so easy to put together, you can also visit HERE to watch the assembly tutorial. I also have my process video below so you can watch me create this project. I did some fussy cutting of the paper collection and to enhance the cuttings I used Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter Glass. The butterfly I used on the front of the purse are the Butterfly Kisses Cherry Blossom Single Side Printed Butterflies.


This 4D purse also comes with this sweet little shelf that allows you to decorate it. I decided to use the Beautiful Board Small Wire Dress Form Chipboard. The dress form comes with a two little clothes hangers so I attached them onto some metal hitches to the back of the shelf. Then using some Reneabouquets Trim-Ivory Pleated Tulle, I created a little skirt for the dress form. I then added some itsy bitsy buttons to a glass corked jar. Inside the purse comes to slots to hold different items and I created here a tag, stitched around it and decorated it with Beautiful Board Small Button Doll Laser Cut Chipboard. I also created a policy envelope to hold photos.

To go with this sweet purse I made an accordion mini album, you can watch me create this in the video below. To decorate the front and back covers of the album I used Beautiful Board Linoleum Elements Laser Cut Chipboard. I then applied some Beautiful Beads Sweetheart Candy Flatback Pearls randomly on the panels. The flowers I used on the purse and the mini album are Mini Whisper Pink Mulberry Paper Roses & Leaves Set, and the leaves are Beautiful Bits - Skeleton Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard. The front focal point on the mini album I used Beautiful Board Medium Follow Your Heart Doilies Chipboard and the icing on the cake is the White Pearl And Rhinestone Button Set Of 2. The butterfly used here is Butterfly Kisses Aurora Borealis Pink Single Side Printed Butterflies, 

Pictured here is the inside of the accordion mini album. Also pictured is the side of the purse which I created a dangle to hang and added several different charms, Shabby Sweet Scissors In Silver., thimble, pearls, spool of thread, bobbin etc. I hope you were able to gather some inspiration

"Be Curious" Mixed Media Vintage Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you all are staying safe and healthy. Today I have for you a layout filled with mixed media layers and textures. 
I first started by adding some machine stitching around the perimeter of the layout then I wanted to add some texture to the base of the layout utilizing some textured crackle paste through different stencils. I chose the Beautiful Board pieces I wanted to use and gave them all a coat of Rock Candy Crackle Paint.
 
The Beautiful Board pieces I chose were Beautiful board Large April In Paris Adornment PatternBeautiful Board Deco Gears Set of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard Beautiful Board April In Paris Doily #2 Set of 3 (I used the largest doily).  I then decided to create a little book out of vintage stained papers which I took about 7 and sewed down the middle to create pages. Then ran it through a texture fade with the alphabet and distressed the pages with distress oxide ink.
For a pretty vintage feel I used Reneabouquets White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace.  The Butterfly I used on this layout is the Salted Caramel Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies.   
To compliment the layout I added some sparkle utilizing Reneabouquets Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. I hope you enjoyed this layout and now for your pleasure I have added a video of me creating this layout below. Hope you enjoy ..... blessings.

 Hi all, today I have for you a fun card created for Valentines along with an envelope box to hold your 3D card.

Inside I placed lots of yummy shaker goodies from the store, such as Beautiful Bits Tiny Hearts, Gold Chunky German Glass Glitter, Beautiful Beads Hearts Of Glass, Pale Pink Glass Microbeads, Pink Hand tinted Chunky Glitter Glass, & Ocean Hand tinted Chunky Glitter Glass.  

On top of the shaker box I used our NEW  Happy Valentines Chipboard Piece and I embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then our sweetest NEW little flowers were place around the frame of the shaker box. I used Itty Bitty Blossoms in Pink and White, Itty Bitty Blossoms in Pink, Itty Bitty Blossoms in Seafoam and Itty Bitty Blossoms in Seafoam  and White. I then added some Skeleton Leaves Chipboard around the florals. 

To assist in holding up the easel I used Romantic Heart Pattern and attached some pretty Beautiful Beads Candy Flatback Pearls in the color Pale Pink

For the closure on my envelope box I used the Beautiful Board Victorian Heart Doily and embossed it with gold EP and adorned it with the same flowers as listed above. 

I hope you enjoyed this project and wishing you a February filled with Hugs & Kisses.

Snow Day - Holiday Home Decor by Jenn DuBell

 Hello everyone! Jenn here today sharing my first official Christmas themed project this year! Using lots of beautiful Reneabouquets products, I have created this pretty home decor piece.

The products used are as follows:

Printed Beautiful Board Small Snow Bunny Sisters

This started as a small dollar store mirror believe it or not. It is amazing what you can do to repurpose old things. I removed the mirror and replaced the back with a circle of the gorgeous "Christmas Cheer" paper. The frame was coated in heavy white gesso followed by snowflake paste.
The lace was then applied to the back to create the wreath look. The beautiful board pieces were all embossed with iridescent and gold powders before adhering.



You can find Reneabouquets here...

Winter Wishes DT Project for Reneabouquets with Raquel SK

 Hi fellow crafters!


I am introducing to you my Winter Wishes projects made with adorable pieces from Reneabouquets, Tonic Studios dies, a Cricut cutting file, and my own #Pastel Snowflakes Digital paper!©

I have used Beautiful Board pieces, laces, and jingle bells on my projects, as well as the prettiest Beautiful Board snowflakes you could ever imagine! These projects were so much fun to make!

I was really excited to work with these pieces, so I designed my own digital paper to match! (This will soon be available in my Etsy shop!) Below you can see how I also added shine to the Beautiful Board Linda's Love Flakes by using Tonic Nuvo drops and Mermaid Tail colored Glass beads from Renea's shop. I also made a whimsical rosette out of vellum, and added pom poms to resemble snowballs. I finished this cover with small gems to make it shine!


To begin, I used the Printed Beautiful Board Small Snow Ball Fight With Claire grouped with white Doily Lace and Beautiful Board Linda's Love Flakes on an adorable gatefold style mini book with a hidden surprise. To add some Christmas flair, I also tied some shiny gold Jingle Bells to the side of the cover with silver thread. This pairs beautifully with a Christmas ornament, complete with a Small Diane's Snowman. The pieces are just darling, and I also added pieces of Venetian lace to the small star. 

You may have noticed something peeking...well inside this book I used the absolutely gorgeous Tree of Life Beautiful Board piece atop an acetate pocket that is also a magnet-held picture frame. This sits on top of more Doily lace, and is flanked by Printed Beautiful pieces!

You can insert a tag into this pocket for an extra message, or you can place your favorite picture to gift to a loved one. The outer pages can be removed for added notes, or small pictures. A closer look allows you to see the glimmer added with Glass Glitter, as well as the Beautiful Board pieces :Christmas Belle Itty Bitty Chipboard on the left and Tiny Jack's Snowman on the right.

Here again is a closer look at the small Christmas star with the Printed Beaituful Board: Small Diane's Snowman.

The small hearts, painted with glimmer, are also from Renea's store. Isn't it darling?

For a more sophisticated touch, I made a larger star. This time adorned with pieces of the Pearl Accented Wedding Day Lace, and the lovely Printed Beautiful Board Large Victorian Winter Laser Cut Chipboard. This pretty lady is available in the store in your choice of color. 

The back of the star is adorned with a piece of  Reneabouquets Trim-Tattered Pink Pleated Tulle, and I also added another Linda's Love Flake and Vintage Snowflake, both altered with Nuvo drops, paints, and gems. The white rosette also has added Glass Glitter and a Moonstone in the center.

 I love Vintage style pieces, and this one is perfect for a Victorian Christmas!

On my Youtube channel, you will also see an additional card made with more Reneabouquet Products, and you will see how these pieces are made with step-by step tutorials! 
I hope you have enjoyed these projects, and that you can Be inspired, Be Blessed!
~Raquel

Altered Vintage Drawer and Cigar Box by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. I don't know about you but I love having my crafty goodies  all organized and I love putting them in pretty containers. So today I have for you a couple of altered pieces that I created to hold my Reneabouquets Butterflies and also Reneabouquets Laces.

First up is a vintage sewing machine drawer that I had purchased sometime last year at an antique store. I thought it would be really fun to hold all my pretty laces that I use to create with. So here we go.
I first began by giving my drawer a coat of white gesso to prime the surface, then once dried, I rubbed the wax from a candle all over the surface and then gave it a coat of Waverly White Chalk Paint. The wax works as a resist and you can then take a piece of sand paper and distress your edges very easily. I then used Blue Ferns Jane's Memoirs paper collection to add to the outside and inside of the drawer.  
This is a close up of the front of the drawer and as you can see Reneabouquets store has so many different things to bling up your projects. All the supplies that I used will be listed below as well as there website. I decided to store all my Reneabouquets Laces in this drawer. The photo below is the sides of the drawer.                                
Now onto the next project. I started off with an old cigar box that I also purchased at the same antique store last year. Gave it a coat of white gesso and then also painted it with Waverly's white chalk paint. 
I used the same paper collection from Blue Fern (Jane's Memoirs). I used an old dresser knob for the top of the lid to assist in opening the box. All of the RB Beautiful Board that I used I embossed with bronze powder.  
 Here is a closeup of the top of the box. The handmade flowers that Reneabouquets store has are gorgeous and come so many yummy colors. I topped them with Diamond Chunky Glitter that you can get at the store as well.  
This photo is the front of the cigar box and I once again used the beautiful mulberry flowers from the store, the glass vial is filled with Gawdy Girl Diamond Chunky Glitter .
Here is a photo of the inside as well. 
I hope you have enjoyed this and were inspired to maybe dress up some of your supply containers. I appreciate you stopping by and have a blessed day !
