You are The World to Me Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning sweet friends,

Today it's my turn again on this amazing blog, as you all may know by now I am a die heart layout maker and it takes me roughly about five hours to create a layout. From the beginning untill the end {with the idea of papers & products I use leaving out of that time} So this next layout will not be any different although this design I made one time before. For this layout I have used two Maja Design collections "Miles Apart" & "Enjoying Outdoors"

You are The World to Me:

I wanted to follow the Art Recipe Moodboard on the Finnabair blog for this month which consists out of Purple, Rich Yellow and Fern Green....The beautiful frames are treated with rust paste, impasto paste and three different color waxes. The rest of the beautiful boards I kept just the way they are which is a gorgeous color. I only added some wax on the words "YOU" & "ME" to make it more matching my layout. 

I used a pictures of our sweet Abbey and me....in our house we are in a different fase at the moment Abbey went to kindergarden for the first time last week. And it was very hard for her she was crying her eyes out but today she didn't want to go home with me lol, that's how fast they get used to it!

Mixed Media Christmas Gift Bags by Toni

 Hi everyone, it's time to get a head start on your Christmas crafts and today I have a fun idea to use for those inexpensive paper bags. Let's put your own creative spin on some of them. Let's get started. 

I purchased these bags at the Dollar Store and decided to add some artwork to the front of them. Reneabouquets store is plump full of beautiful Christmas ornate goodies to add to your projects. I started with both by adding some texture with a some stamping with embossing powder and then stenciled using texture paste. In the video below you can watch my creative process. The bag on the right I used Printed Beautiful Board Small Holly And Berry Corners With Tuck Ins and also Beautiful Words Small Merry And Bright Laser Cut Chipboard . The flowers used are listed below. 

Featured on the bag above is the Printed Beautiful Board Small Christmas Belle Laser Cut Chipboard which was blinged up with our 2 Ounce Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter Glass 

and I also used our Beautiful Words Stackable Merry Christmas Laser Cut Chipboard  which I embossed with silver powder. Tucked underneath the large poinsettia is some White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace .

The flowers I used on this bag are the Christmas Burgundy Mulberry Poinsettias, Mini Roses and Holly Leaves Flowers and White Roses Gardenias & Leaves Mulberry Flowers . I also added some greenery and tinsel from my stash and then used the sweet Butterfly Kisses Delicate Beauty Single Side Printed Butterflies . To finish it off I splattered white ink on top to provide a frosty vision. Hope you were inspired and hope you give this a try. xoxo

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 

"Happy Birthday" Explosion Box by Toni

 It's party time!!!! It's celebration time at Reneabouquets because is Beautiful Board's 3rd Birthday. What's a party without a cake, therefore I decided to create an explosion box with cake inside. 

Loaded with many places to add your photos and fun interactive pages. But RB Beautiful Board puts the icing on the cake when decorating your projects. It just puts it over the top a bit.  The Happy Birthday Laser Cut Chipboard was embossed with gold glitter. The precious butterfly I chose to adorn the top of this package is the Tiny Treasures Darling Coral Butterfly 

The box measures 6"x 6" and the insert is 5" x 5". 

 The lace that was used on the foundation of the box is White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace. Accented with Beautiful Board April in Paris Doily was also embossed with gold glitter. The flowers used are Mini Soft Peach Mulberry Paper Roses and Tangerine Quartz Roses And Leaves. Also used the NEW Itty Bitty Blossoms and Leaves Peach Mulberry Paper Flower. The white gardenia used came from the Cinnamon and Sugar Roses Gardenias Mulberry Paper Set. Also tucked away in between the pretty flowers are the Beautiful Bits-Skeleton Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard. 

After opening the explosion box in the center I created a birthday cake in honor of this festive occasion. For the separate tiers I used the April In Paris Doily Two Set of 3 and I painted them white then for dimension added Nuvo Drops in white pearl and then sprinkled on Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass  Also used to enhance a couple of the pages is Beautiful Board Medium Victorian Scroll Accents. 

I hope you have enjoyed this project as much as I did creating it in honor of RB Beautiful Board.

Altered Paint Brush with Lighted Shadow Box by Toni

Hello to our Reneabouquet family and friends. Every month RB hosts a swap that you can participate in and it's a great way to make new creative friends and share your love for paper crafts with another. This month's swap was to create an altered paint brush, here is my take on it.
I purchased a brush from Dollar Store 3" wide which provided a nice amount of space to create on. Below I have a video tutorial so you can watch the different mixed media techniques that I used to get this effect... very easy to do.

The main focal point on the brush was the sweet RB shadow box. They are so much fun to work with and so versatile. I decided to add some fairy lights just for effect. If you haven't worked with these shadow boxes you need to get your hands on them especially with the holidays approaching. They are so much fun to create with. 

As always, RB never disappoints when it comes to their beautiful flowers and Beautiful Board. I will leave a list of all supplies used from the store below with their links for easy access. I invite you to participate in our swaps. I get so excited when I receive my package in the mail from a fellow crafter that I know has specifically created something just for me. Give it a try... Until next time, xoxo

Supplies used: 

Beautiful Box Mini Round Shadow Box Laser Cut Chipboard 

Beautiful Box Ornament #2 Shaker Box Chipboard DIY Kit (I used the frame only of this kit) 

Beautiful Board Starfish With Accents Set Laser Cut Chipboard

Seafoam Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers

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 !

Queen Bee Handbag and Sketchbook DT project for Reneabouquets

Hi crafty friends,

For this month I want to share with you another fun project I made using Items from Reneabouquets and Tonic Studios dies.

I wanted to make something ultra lush, as I would be working with the Glass Wing Queen Bees from Reneabouquets. As we all know, there is only one queen in the hive, and for this queen, a beautiful handbag and sketchbook are essential!

Here is the couple with the hexagon shaped handbag covered in a beautiful handmade flower bouquet. Each handmade flower is delicately sprinkled with Gawdie Girl Pink Chunky German Glitter Glass. Grouped along the top of the handbag are also Beautiful Board Hexagon Elements Laser Cut Chipboard pieces that are embossed in gold, and scattered with Moonstone beads. I also added layers of embossed vellum resembling honeycombs, and hand-colored roses made with a Tonic Studios stamp and alcohol markers. Underneath is a piece of Ivory Wide Floral Embroidered Lace.This will surely provide a safe landing for any queen bee!

I

Along the side of the handbag, I wanted to ensure to add a handle, so I crafted one out of gold cord, and attached it to the bag with Tonic Studios die cuts that I layered with gold and black cardstock. Small black sequins top off the faux clasps. The base is also dry embossed in a honeycomb pattern, and topped with cascading hearts created with Nuvo expanding mousse and Finnabair golden nugget effect paste. The entire thing is also sprayed in gold.

Here you can see the queen bee front and center. She tops a piece of Beautiful Board Large Stackable Honey Bee Pattern that has been altered with Finnabair golden nugget effect paste,and sprinkled with pale pink microbeads. It all rests on the hexagon embossed front of the handbag.

Take a closer look at the detail in the Glass Wing Queen Bee. They are so amazing!

Now, lets look at the sketchbook! It fits comfortably inside of the handbag, but it is also made to fit the theme very nicely. On the cover, you see another grouping, only this time I used the Beautiful Board Medium Honey Bee Chipboard. To make it cohesive, I also colored it using my Nuvo alcohol markers and Nuvo Gold marker. The decorative pieces are also sprinkled with Gawdie girl pink glitter and moonstones, and they all rest on a bed of honeycomb chipboard pieces topped with vellum honeycombs, and lovely red roses. The phrase "Inspire",and the Notebook pages are all cut using Tonic Studios dies. 

On this page, I recycled a piece of clear packaging and created a page by embossing it in a honeycomb pattern. Using a lovely stamped phrase shared by a friend, I adorned the page by framing it out with more vellum embossed pieces as well as the hand-colored roses and yet another gorgeous GlassWinged Queen Bee. In the background you can see the pages, They alternate between sketch papers and mixed media papers for a fun sketchbook.

Never forgetting the words that inspire me to create... I incorporated some scripture verses on key pages in this sketchbook. Here, I adorned the page with a piece of Beautiful Board Large Stackable Honey Bee Pattern, only this time I cut it in half to fit my page, added black embossing powder to make it shine, and sprinkled it with small moonstones. 

On this page I did the same, only here I embossed the honeycomb pattern beautiful board in gold, added moonstones and gems from my stash, and added a beautiful Proverb. 

For the last page, I decided to add a pocket. I dry embossed and stenciled the paper, then added photo corners as a decorative element. To finish, it, I added a piece of applique given to me by a sweet crafter, and altered it using gawdie girl pink glitter, pearls and gems from my stash, and a beautiful 

Reneabouquets Queen Bee Clock Charms . 

This concludes my project share, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! Please visit the links for your convenience, and don't forget to watch the video for more details. 

Thank you for stopping by, and as always, I hope that you can Be inspired, Be Blessed!

"Oh Christmas Tree" by Toni

Merry Christmas everyone, today I have a fun vintage, shabby, styled Christmas Tree, using some beautiful laces as well as some "New" Beautiful Board pieces from Reneabouquets store. Hope you enjoy !

Starting with a styrofoam cone I cut pieces of the lace and attached it using hot glue and then crystal tip pins for some pretty bling. All the products used will be listed below. To watch how I adhered the laces I have a video also below for your viewing pleasure. 

One of the "New" printed beautiful board pieces is this "Sisters" and I added some Diamond Glass Glitter to their dresses and sat them under the tree. 

Another "New" piece is this Beautiful Board Snowflake Doily (set of 3). I used the small for the tree topper and added the Wedding Pearl and Rhinestone Button to the middle. The medium snowflake was cut apart and adhered to the middle portion of the tree (you can view this better in the video) and the large snowflake was used as the base of the tree. All were blinged up with the Diamond Glass Glitter. 

I hope you enjoyed this project and now grab yourself some Hot Cocoa and sit back and enjoy my creative process..... hugs
