I Love You Lil' Darlin by Amy Voorthuis

 Goodmorning Sweet Renea Bouquets Fans,

 I have been enjoying myself a lot using one of the most beautiful products there are in this scrapbook industry. I find it sad that I don't have my whole scraproom loaded with all Renea Bouquets gooddies especially the amazing butterflies, dragonflies and beautiful boards....I want them all ;-) Today I show you a steampunk layout with on the picture my handsome husband with our tiny little girly in the shower. I don't know why I assosiate black with steampunk but I do, I used one of the darkest pages Maja Design offers to make this layout. 

I Love You Lil' Darlin: 

When I could choose my Guest Designer Package I was focussed on the black lace, flowers, butterflies and chunky glitter glass and went around that creating my layout. The beautiful boards are treated with some different mediums...I used Finnabair rust effect paste, waxes and black gesso on some of them and on the other pieces I used some lindy's sprays and a script stamp.

I think the pretty hinges are so cool to used they are very detailed and I have to tell you I am a sucker for chipboards like that kind of steampunk stylish. For me this layout is kind of clean and simple and that is sometimes nice to make as well if I had more flowers I would have added them all lol....

I have tucked the lace in the rips that I made in the papers I always wanted to try that but I never did...To finish my layout I added some amazing black chunky glitter glass and I also added some rub-on words.

Steampunk 4D Purse With Rotating Gears by Toni

Hi everyone, Toni here with a new project using our fun Beautiful Board 4D Purse Do It Yourself Laser Cut Chipboard Kit . This kit is so easy to create and so much fun. I'm a huge fan of steampunk and I wanted it to hold all my steampunk tags I create to put on cards. 

The gears on the front actually rotate freely for a fun effect. These gears are Beautiful Board Shooting Star Gears With Bead Holes Chipboard  and Beautiful Board Star Zazzies with Bead Holes Chipboard. I started by first staining my purse and gears with Waverly Wax "Antique". The paper collection I used is from Stamperia "Clockwork". 

I added gold flat back pearls to the pattern on the paper to give the illusion that this is quilted. What would steampunk be without charms hung from a chain. I took  Beautiful Board Shooting Star Gears With Bead Holes Chipboard, Beautiful Board Clockwork Keys Laser Cut Chipboard Key Set of 3 and Beautiful Board Love Locks & Keys Laser Cut Chipboard, then embossed with brass embossing powder. I then attached pearls, beads, brass charms from my stash. Also created a charm from one of Reneabouquets precious Mini Old Gold Mulberry Paper Roses and Leaves Set.   Tucked inside the flowers I attached some Ivory Wide Floral Embroidered Lace as well. 

To adorn the front of the purse the flowers I used are: Mini Dusty Teal Mulberry Paper Roses & Leaves Set, Itty Bitty Blossoms and Leaves Navy Blue Mulberry Paper Flowers, Navy Blue Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers, Seafoam & White Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers and Mini Old Gold Mulberry Paper Roses and Leaves Set.  The little brass embossed leaves you see with the flowers is part of Beautiful Board Fancy Fall Tuck Ins Set of 23 Laser Cut Chipboard. 

And to complete this project I had to use one of Renea's one of a kind handmade butterflies. I used Secret Garden Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies. 

Here is hoping you have a spectacular day... hoping you can make time for those creative gears to get working... xoxo 

Altered Book Swap by Toni

 
Hi ReneaBouquet friends. Toni here with a swap project. Last month RB hosted a altered box swap and I decided to take a configurations box and make it into a steampunk embellishment box for my partner.

This also kept with this months mood board inspiration  which is this:

It's always fun to get involved in swaps because it gives you a theme of inspiration to create and also connects you with other creatives that enjoy the same thing as yourself. 

On the altered box I added a RB shaker box to the lid as well as many Beautiful Board pieces to enhance the top. The shaker boxes can be used on so many different projects, from layouts to cards, to altered projects as you see above. 

Once the box was completed I had fun filling it with some vintage and steampunk style embellishments for my swap partner to use on her projects. 

As well as the box, it's always fun to create some extra goodies for your partner. Pictured here is the card I made as well as an altered notebook. 

Candy filled boxes, doily's as well as some stick pins were all adorned with RB's supplies from the store. A list of the supplies is below in the video description.

Hello everyone! Guess what?! It's time for a new Reneabouquets Mood Board Challenge. This month the Mood Board is Steampunk themed. Of course you do not have to make a Steampunk project. You can make any project your little heart desires. The only real requirement is that you use at least one product from Reneabouquets. 

Steampunk is one of my favorite creative styles. There's just so much you can do! And you can actually use junk to create art.
