Besties by Amy Voorthuis

  Hello lovely friends, 

I am so glad you are here with me today, for today I have another layout to share this time more in my comfort zone which is girly, flowery with a lot of chipboards. On the picture you see our lovely dog named "Fibi" with our little princess Abbey. They are best buds for sure and Abbey loves to cuddle Fibi all the time it's so cute. I took this picture when I came down the stairs ;-) 

Besties

How I created my layout, first I cut about two centimeters of the sides of the 0506 sheet then I took out the middle part of the vintage garden sheet. Then I placed them on top of each other but after I stitch the outerlines of the "Grunce Backgrounds 0506" sheet first! Then I prepared both sheets with clear gesso. Then I added a stencil and some mixed media sprays. 

I cut out a whole bunch of flower clusters from the vintage garden cut out sheet" and placed them randomly on my layout for the finishing touch. I also framed the picture with a gorgeous frame by Renea Bouquets which I first altered with cord then I added some gorgeous swirl leaves around the frame and some gorgeous roses also by Renea I kept the chipboard just plane because I think the color of Renea Bouquets is beautiful by itself!

Beautiful Renea Bouquets products used: 
Beautiful Board Large Vintage French Bracket Clock Lasercut Chipboard
Butterfly Kisses Delicate Beauty Butterflies
Red Currant Roses Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers
Olive Wild Roses Gardenia Leaves Mulberry Flower

"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.

"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 Pattern,  Beautiful 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.   

It was now time to add the flowers, The flowers I chose are Dark Brown Roses Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Soft Peach Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Mini Soft Peach Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Antique Linen Roses, Gardenia And Leaves Flower Set and Peach Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flower Set. 

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. 

Valentines Easel Card with Envelope Box to Hold 3D Card by Toni

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

I created an easel card to showcase Reneabouquets pretty Small Round Shaker Box. 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. 

"Hello Winter" Altered Frame by Toni

Hi crafty friends, today I have for you a home decor piece to decorate your home for the winter. Yes Christmas may be over but winter is not, so let's celebrate it. 

I started with a sign that I purchased at the Dollar Store I added the frame from  the kit Beautiful Box Large Decorative Snowflake Shaker Box With Frame. Then I gave the entire project a coat of white chalk paint. Then added my background cardstock embellished with the beautiful Wide Floral Embroidered Lace in White and used a large snowflake cookie cutter from my stash. I had this very large snowflake cookie cutter and wanted it to be the foundation of my composition. 

I then diecut these cute ice skates and placed them on top of the cookie cutter. I adorned them with the sweet Trinkets Set of 6 Victorian Snowflakes from RB store. 

The florals I used are White Roses, Gardenias & Leaves Mulberry, Mini White Mulberry Paper Roses And Leaves Set of 24 and also Antique Linen Roses, Gardenia And Leaves.  I then tucked inside one of the Beautiful Board Large First Snow Snowflakes.  Now what would a project be with out a bit of sparkle. So I added Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. around the perimeter of the large snowflake. 

Here's wishing you and your family a cozy and peaceful winter season..... blessings

 Hello to you all and hoping your new year is getting off with a heart full of hope and peace. Today I have for you a winter mixed media layout featuring of course, beautiful items from Reneabouquets store. 

I started off my layout adding some pretty texture by using Crackle Texture Paste and then adding Reneabouquets Beautiful Board Large Brick Elements.

Inside the shaker box I added Beautiful Beads Glass Moonstone, Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass and also Beautiful Board Bits-Winter Snowflakes. At the top of the shaker box I embossed the Beautiful Board Large Holly Flourish. 

On the shudders I also embossed the Beautiful Board Large Pretty Ivy. The very large pretty snowflakes on the corners of the shaker box are Beautiful Board Large Vintage Snowflakes Set of 7 and I embossed them with Winter White EP. I did add in some of my assorted winter greens but the flowers I used from the store are Christmas Burgundy Poinsettias and Roses and Holly leaves. 

To finish off my layout I then added Beautiful Board Small April In Paris Adornment, of course some of my favorite Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Skeleton Leaf Laser Cut and Butterfly Disses Delicate Beauty Butterflies.

Mixed Media Autumn Layout by Toni

 Happy Thursday everyone. I'm up on the blog today with a new mixed media layout featuring several fall items from Reneabouquets store. 

As many of you know, I love to create my layouts with lots of layers. This gives me the ability to tuck in  flowers, beautiful board, ephemera etc. I started by creating the background dimensional adding my papers on cardboard to give it height. I started by adding some Ivory Wide Floral Embroidered Lace which always provides a sweet vintage feel. Then I prepped my different beautiful board pieces. Some I painted white which would be Beautiful Board Ornate Leaves Tuck Ins , I then embossed with brass embossing powder the Beautiful Board Fancy Fall Tuck Ins , and some I distressed with Oxide Distress Inks which would be Beautiful Board Large Fancy Fall Corners 

The Beautiful Board Large Pumpkin Patch Set I painted white and then the background paper I covered it with Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass in Buttercream and Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass in Diamond 

The flowers I then chose to use are the Soft Peach Roses & Leaves, as well as Mini Soft Peach Mulberry Roses & Leaves. I then used Honey Roses & Leaves. Reneabouquets has some wonderfully unique trinkets in the store to use as well and I used Tarnished Brass Pocket Watch and I cut an image to put inside and then the glass part is actually a large floral stone I got a bag of these at the Dollar Store. I completed the layout by adding a couple of Reneabouquets precious handmade butterflies and the ones I used are Sweet Dreams Premium Paper Butterflies in Buttercream

Wishing you a cozy season filled with joy and peace...xoxo
