Vintage Christmas Decor DT Project for Reneabouquets

Hi crafters,

This month I have the pleasure to share with you this Vintage Christmas Home Decor Piece with Beautiful Board pieces from Reneabouquets, items from my stash, and a repurposed board.

I began this decor piece with a board that I covered with Christmas themed scrapbooking paper from my stash. It all came together with the coordinating beautiful board pieces, which I was able to color with different inks from my stash. The Medium Decorative Scrolls are guilded in gold Nuvo flakes, and topped with Small Holly and Berry Corners.

The top of the piece also has a swag of Christmas Red Mulberry Paper Poinsettias, Roses & Holly Leaves. These I altered with bronze Nuvo drops and gold spray. I also tucked small pearls guilded in gold between the flowers.

The Beautiful Words Small Merry Christmas Laser Cut Chipboard is also guilded in gold, backed with the Venise Lace die cut pieces that I distressed with Ranger inks, and topped with one of the Beautiful Bits Snowflakes. I also added Cranberry Translucent Glass Microbeads. Sprinkled throughout are Beautiful Bit snowflakes and painted to match the color scheme and topped with little red pearls and gold gems.

To make this warm scene, I also painted a fireplace and topped it with one of the Beautiful Box Small Square Shaker Boxes. This is also adorned with a Beautiful Board Small Holly Flourish Laser Cut Chipboard and pieces of Printed Beautiful Board Small Holly And Berry Corners With Tuck Ins. These shakers are so versatile, because you can color them to suit your needs!

To finish this piece, I also colored a Beautiful Board Small Shabby Christmas Tree, topped with different colored gems and baubles. This is also grouped with a Printed Beautiful Board Small Christmas Holly who also has with her some adorable golden Jingle Bells. To ground this, I also distressed pieces of Beautiful Board Wildflower Elements Laser Cut Chipboard. To bring everything together, I also used bronze and gold glimmer paste for extra shimmer.

I hope you like this home decor piece, and take advantage of this month's coupon code for all your Beautiful Board pieces. This was lots of fun to create, and as always I hope that you can 

Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Life is Beautiful Mini Album DT Project for Reneabouquets

Hi crafty friends!

I am here to share with you my album titled: "Life is Beautiful".

  I have used lovely items from Reneabouquets, floral papers from Recollections, as well as Tonic Studios and Spellbinders dies to create this lovely keepsake.

On the cover, you can see the adorable Printed Beautiful Board Tiny Flower Girl Daphne. She is coupled with the Beautiful board Victorian Scroll Pattern Laser cut chipboard. I have used several pieces of the Victorian Scroll pattern throughout this book.

You can also appreciate the beautiful colors of the Pink and White roses and gardenia, carefully arranged with cabbage roses and grouped with Garden Part and Venice Rose Laces .

On the spine, I have carefully arranged the Garden Party lace atop others, and grouped it with the Pearl Accented Wedding Day Lace. It is both delicate and beautiful!

My front cover features a Sweetheart Pink Glitter Glass Premium butterfly. I love the tiny heart detail in the center! It tops off a gorgeous gold accent made with a Spellbinders die. The opposite page hold a card that slides out. This is topped with a piece of white Beautiful Butterfly lace.

Here you can also see the delicate white lace on the left. This is the delicate sheer Romance lace. The golden die cut is topped with sequins and pearls for a touch of soft color.

The very next page is my favorite, and it showcases the Beautiful Board Elizabeth in Paris topping a piece of Daisy Chain lace. This is also grouped with the same golden die cut from Spellbinders. Opposing her is the grand Eiffel tower, complete with sequins and delicate pearls for a very Victorian layout. 

This page showcases more pieces from the Victorian Scroll Pattern collection. You will see how I grouped these pieces on the outer and inner pages. The matching tags tucked in the pockets will hold pictures inside, and these are also decorated with pieces from the Garden Party lace, and Spellbinders dies. The small heart shaped gear is from the Beautiful Board Spring Beautiful Bits. I used a moonstone bead in the center for added shine.

These are the interior pages with more pockets made with Tonic studios dies, and matted layers for pictures.

Below is a double pocket page decorated with a gorgeous Beautiful Board Small Victorian Snowflake Clock face, topped with another gear, and it is followed be a sentiment that reads : Moment, also made of Beautiful Board. This is also adorned with a Sweetheart Pink Glitter Glass Butterfly. 

The pockets were created using a Crafters Companion die, and it houses two photo mats, with room for more. 

Below are the tuck spots made with Tonic Studios dies.  I thought the flowers were perfect for this book!

Here is another double pocket page, this time with more Victorian Scrolls and Beautiful Butterflies to adorn the photo mats. I fussy cut the floral paper to make the pockets on the page. 

Below you see more of the Venice lace, this time paired with the Watercolor Cherry Blossom Premium Glitter Glass Butterflies. They are absolutely beautiful among the floral garden in this book!

The sentiment reads: Life is a Beautiful Journey. I believe this to be true!

The last page houses another tuck away side pocket. This time I adorned the card on the edge with a piece of Garden Bouquet lace. This gives the book an adorable junk-journal look when it is closed. The lace is covered in beautiful pearls. 

Last but not least is the back cover. Here I used a stunning Beautiful Board Small Romance and Roses Heart Frame. It serves both as a picture frame and a shaker!

As you can see, I have filled it with shiny sequins and rose microbeads from Reneabouquets, and also tied golden tulle on the edge. The picture will slip in on the side of the page.

I hope you've enjoyed this project share, and that you take advantage of June's Coupon available at Renebouquets with your thirty dollar purchase. You will receive a set of gorgeous dragonflies!

As always, I thank you for your time, and hope that you can 

Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Camera, Card, and Cantilever Box DT Project for Reneabouquets

Hi friends, 

I am super excited to share today's Design Team project for Reneabouquets with you. I have used some of my favorite Tonic Studios dies, a file from Silhouette Design Studio, and other items from my stash to make these adorable gifts. The items will be swapped with a partner in a crafty group. I hope she enjoys using them!

Here is the final group of items, as you can see, I used lots of adorable laces, trims, and beautiful board pieces throughout for a shabby and elegant look. The papers are 'A Romantic Life' from #Bluefernstudios, and available at Renea's shop.

To begin, this adorable little camera was just so much fun to make! I adorned it with the title "Fearless", a gorgeous feather, small daisy and gear.  These are all part of the lovely beautiful board pieces you can select from Renea's shop. To make them fit my theme, I altered these with gems and Tonic Studios Nuvo drops. The lens is also made from Vellum paper that I altered using mixed media. 

You can also see traces of little lace flowers. Those are from Renea's Daisy Chain Lace. I cut small pieces and used them to top off my vellum flowers, made with a Fun Stampers Journey die. All other flowers, butterfly, and the gorgeous Bridesmaid lace with heart motifs are also available from Reneabouquets. 

The Bridesmaid lace really took this project to a new level. Just look at that heart shape! I couldn't resist making the small handle out of delicate pearls. This is a camera fit for a true lady!

Now...are you ready for this?

Yes!!! I made a double stacked cantilever box using the gorgeous Beautiful Board Large Dainty Butterfly Pattern. This is such a versatile piece, and I truly enjoyed adding it to the base of this box. Layered underneath is part of the Daisy chain Lace trim. Peeking from underneath the Double Sided Butterfly is a piece of the Garden Party Tea Rose Lace, This comes with clusters of small flowers and gems included. 

To top off this gorgeous tower of boxes, I added handmade flowers I made with #Tonicstudios dies, and Crafting Foam, layered along with Garden Bouquet Lace pieces, and the stunning Venice Rose Lace. The small Wildflower and Skeleton leaf complete the look together with the double sided butterflies.

Included in this grouping is also a folio, and a Polaroid Style shaker card. To house the small folio, I created a sleeve that I decorated with a Vintage Fairy Bell and a Tiny Candy Cameo Frame.

These are backed by a piece of the Venice Rose Lace and vellum for a soft look.

I also topped of the frame with Cotton Candy Flatback Pearls, and altered the fairy with a small flower from my stash. The closure is a hand dyed piece of seam binding topped with a gem. 

Here is a closer look at the small folio, decorated with a Tea Rose beautiful board piece, a small Fairy-est Of Them All Laser Cut Chipboard. She sits on a bed of flowers cut from the Daisy Chain Lace. I also cut other leaves and flowers to complete the little garden scene.

To finish, this is the Polaroid inspired shaker card. Here I used pieces of the  Garden Bouquet Lace

as well as Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits - Tea Roses. The small Butterfly Kisses Spun Sugar butterfly gives it a special touch. I used Tonic Studios dies to make the shakers, flowers, and the filmstrip that I backed up with altered vellum. I also used Nuvo sequins and others to complete this card. 

This concludes my project share. I hope you have enjoyed it, and as always, that you can 

Be inspired, Be Blessed!

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!
