"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.

"Me & My Big Brother" Beach Mixed Media Layout by Toni

 Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your summertime... a big difference from last year. I'm in California and we are already experiencing triple digits !! Today I have for you a fun beach layout with lots of textures and mixed media applications. 

I added craft sand with clear crackle texture paste for some fun texture and dimension. The beautiful board pieces I used Beautiful Board Chunky Chain Link Frame Set of 2 Laser Cut Chipboard Frames which I added crackle medium and then stained with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain. 

One of our newest pieces to the store is this delightful Beautiful Word Large Me & My Big Brother Laser Cut Chipboard which I also used crackle medium on and sprayed it with Lindys Afternoon Delight Denim and DI Frayed Burlap. The Beautiful Board Starfish With Accents goes perfect with this layout as the Beautiful Board Large Nautical Anchor. Both were treated with the same crackle medium and sprayed and inked like the pieces above. 

The sweet  Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Seashells Laser Cut Chipboard are perfect for tucking in and around your photos. The florals I used are Navy Blue Roses and Leaves Mulberry, Mini Dusty Blue Mulberry.  To finish off the layout I also topped off some of my fussy cutting pieces with the gorgeous Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter Glass .

Now another perfect way to add lots of texture to your projects is by using Reneabouquets No Hole Microbeads and for the month of June here is a COUPON for you to get your hands on some. Adding them to a gel medium or texture paste is perfect way to add glitz and texture to your project. Another very cool way I love to use the microbeads is to take my glue gun and drop a glob of glue in the container and cover the glue with the microbeads. It cools almost immediately take it out and use it as floral centers.... it's a fun and pretty technique... Here is the coupon details... 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. 

"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. 

Mixed Media "Bloom Where You Are Planted" Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, today I have a new layout to share with you with some pretty springtime goodies from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started. I first stitched around the perimeter of my background paper for interest then I wanted to highlight the pathway in the photograph therefore I tore the paper and used chocolate corrugated cardboard for the mat to bring your eye forward in the layout.  I then used Beautiful Board Grid Elements Laser Cut Chipboard on the sides of the photo to provide a garden trellis effect. It also adds some nice texture to your photo surrounding. Then I tucked the Beautiful Board Wild Flower Gears around the sides of the photo. Playing off the slight shade of peach in the photo I decided to use Soft Peach Roses and also one of my very favorite colors Antique Linen Roses. The Antique Linen is such a versatile color and goes with everything. The flowers come with some extra pretty mulberry leaves to use so I layered them with the Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Skeleton Leaf Chipboard. I then decided, what would a gardening layout be without the pretty Printed Beautiful Board Small Tuck It In Sweet Daisy Chipboard. I then added the Beautiful Board Small Feathers Set of 3 around the layout. To finish off the layout I added Queen Bee Clock Charm from the trinkets in the store and the gorgeous Secret Garden Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies. Of course I had to add a bit of bling to the layout so I went around the perimeter of the layout and sprinkled Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. This was a fun layout to create, fun colors to play with and I hope you enjoyed this. For your pleasure I do have a video tutorial below for your viewing. Wishing you a day filled with peace.     

                                         

"Paris In The Springtime" Mixed Media Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you are having a nice February. Today I have a romantic layout with lots of pretty items from Reneabouquets store. 

Inspired by the soothing colors in my photo I kept all my embellishments soft and subtle.I started by doing some sewing on my machine around the perimeters of the background and also around the ephemera around the photo. That can provide a pretty shabby look to your layout. 

Reneabouquets pretty  Printed Beautiful Board Large Tuck It In Cherry Blossoms Laser Cut Chipboard provide the base of my embellishments. The beautiful board used on the layout are  Follow Your Heart Doilies Chipboard, Beautiful Board Small Eiffel Tower Laser Cut Chipboard and Beautiful Board Large Butterfly Flourish Set Of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard,

In the Reneabouquets store you will find a plethora of different mulberry flowers that are hand designed by Renea herself and handmade here in the USA. The florals I chose to use here are  Mini Dusty Pink Mulberry Paper Roses & Leaves Set, White Roses,Gardenias & Leaves Mulberry Flowers, Antique Linen Roses, Gardenia And Leaves Flower Set, Mini White Mulberry Paper Roses And Leaves Set of 24

I love to finish off my layouts with a bit of bling and I used  , 3 Ounce Beautiful Beads Hearts Of Glass, 2 Ounce Gawdie Girl Diamond Shard German Glitter Glass, and Hand Tinted Pale Pink Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass.

"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

Christmas Recipe Mini Album In A Box By Toni

Merry Christmas everyone, it's one of my favorite times of year and this year is especially important because of all we have been through in 2020. It's a blessing to remember what this season is all about and that is LOVE... we love because HE loved us first. Every year I make certain specific cookies for Christmas that are a family favorite.  I thought it would be fun to create a little mini album to hold these memorable recipes and give it to my daughter so she will always have the recipes of the cookies that filled her tummy during this time of year.  The box to hold them is a Graphic 45 ATC Book Box and I decorated it with some festive Christmas cardstock. 

 On the outside of the box I used the Beautiful Board Small April In Paris Adornment Pattern and I embossed it with brass embossing powder. I then used Christmas Burgundy Mulberry Poinsettias, Roses & Holly Leaves Flower Set for that festive look. Some Christmas greenery and tiny brass bells from my stash. I also used the Graphic 45 claw feet to rest the box upon. 

To embellish the front of the mini album I created I used one of my favoite items from Reneabouquets store which is Small Square Shaker Box DIY Kit Laser Cut Chipboard. These are so much fun to create with and have endless possibilities on what you can do with them. Inside I filled it with Beautiful Board Large First Snow Snowflakes and a mixture of Gold Fine German Glitter Glass, No Hole Glass Microbeads in Silver, No Hole Glass Microbeads in Black, and mica flakes from my stash. 

I also hung a charm I created off the side of the album, and this included Reneabouquets Tea Time Trinkets which were painted with black gesso and then white gold Finnabair wax was rubbed on top to give it a brass finish. 

The inside of the mini album was created with pockets to hold your recipe cards and decorated with an assortment of Beautiful Board Special Edition Homemade Christmas Cookies which were painted and then sprinkled with fine clear glitter for a sugary look. A Metal Clip Bookmark With Cabochon from the store was clipped on to a page for some added fun. 

If you would like a better closeup of the entire project I have provided you a video below so you can see each and every Christmas goodie used from Reneabouquets store. Wishing you a magical Christmas season, filled with health, peace and joy. 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.

"Dare To Be Powerful" Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, Toni here with a new steampunk style layout and Reneabouquets has lots of items in the store that are perfect for this style. 

I wanted to show the more feminine shabby chic side of steampunk. Now don't get me wrong, if any of you know me than you know how I love a grungy, rusty style layout, but that isn't for all of us. Some prefer the more softer, dreamy colors and textures, and I'm here to say Reneabouquets laces, beautiful board and flowers work perfect for any style. 

The Mint Chocolate Chip Butterfly used here is exquisite. And the NEW Apricot Roses Mulberry Paper Flowers are so sweet along side the Aqua Paper Roses. All of the supplies I used on this layout will be listed below along with their websites. 

The Beautiful Board pieces used on this layout all were embossed with turquoise and gold powder but they are perfect used in their natural state as well. Below I have provided for you a process video so you can watch me create this layout. I hope you enjoyed and know that the "possibilities are limitless" with Reneabouquets products. Have a wonderful week !
