"Delight In The Everyday Moments" Mixed Media Layout for Reneabouquets

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

"Me & My Big Brother" Mixed Media Layout

 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 . Below is a video tutorial for your pleasure. 

"Be Curious" Mixed Media Layout for Reneabouquets

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.

"Bloom Where You Are Planted" for Reneabouquets

Hi everyone, today I have a new layout to share with you for Reneabouquets Design Team. Filled 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.

"Beautiful Dreamer" Mixed Media Layout for Reneabouquets

 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. Using Beautiful Board Large Shaker Box I created a window for this sweet little girl to look out upon the beautiful snow. 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. I hope you enjoyed this layout and wishing you a warm and cozy winter season filled with love.   

"Love" Mixed Media Layout for Reneabouquets Design Team

Hi everyone, it's time for a mixed media layout. Lots of different layers going on here and so many pretty items from Reneabouquets store. I used the  Beautiful Board Large Butterfly Flourish Frame Laser Cut Chipboard  to start the foundation for my photo mat. Then I created lots of layers of scraps I had in my stash as well as the pretty White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace 

 

I painted all of my beautiful board with a coat of white acrylic first before applying it to the layout.  I love creating layers on my layout because it makes it real easy to place the sweet little Beautiful Board Ivy Vines Tuck It In Laser Cut Chipboard  and  Beautiful Board Large Butterflies And Roses Laser Cut Chipboard Set of Two  under and around the different florals I choose to use on the project. 

Speaking of florals, there is so many to choose from in the store but my pick for this layout is the Candy Pink Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers  and I also decided for more texture around the edges I added some 1 Ounce No Hole Pale Pink Glass Microbeads . The title on this "Love" is NEW in the store and it is Beautiful Words 4 Mixed Sizes Love Laser Cut Chipboard . 

Some of the finishing touches are added were the Beautiful Board Medium Rose Heart Locket Key Laser Cut Chipboard , Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Tweet Laser Cut Chipboard and the Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Rose Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard . But nothing finishes off a project without Reneabouquets gorgeous handmade butterflies, and I used Fairy Dust Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies . I hope you enjoyed this layout as much as I did creating for your inspiration. Wishing you a blessed day.... xoxo

"Lazy Daze" Mixed Media Layout for Reneabouquets

Hi everyone, hope you are having a spectacular month! Today I have a mixed media layout I created using several pretty pieces from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started !

I love dimension in my layouts so for the foundation I took some cardstock and ran it through a Sizzix embossing folder "wood grain" and also inked the embossing folder to give the texture an old wood appeal. Then I cut the cardstock in strips and distressed the edges. To create dimension, every other strip of cardstock I applied cardboard to the back and that raised up those strips on my layout. This provided a "shiplap" look. The photo used really provided my color palette for the layout, so I kept it pretty neutral with pops of red and black shades provided by Reneabouquets pretty mulberry flowers. All supplies are listed below. 

I did use several beautiful board pieces from Reneabouquets and they are gorgeous in their natural state, but I gave each one a little different mixed media touch. The bottom corner is the NEW Wrought Iron Panel.... gorgeous !!!!! I sponged on some green and brown paints and allowed to dry then went over it with Deco Art Crackle Varnish. For the Fancy Fall Tuckins I gave a coat of the crackle varnish and then added a bit of bronze shimmer wax here and there. 

The Clockwork gears I painted with black gesso, then crackle varnish and topped also with bronze shimmer wax. The Feather Set I embossed with bronze EP. Then to finish off the layout I included one of Reneabouquets handmade Delicate Beauty Glitter Glass Butterflies. I hope you will give your layouts a sense of dimension by trying out this simple technique... Wishing you a week plump full of goodness and "lazy daze"... hugs

Beautiful Board Wrought Iron Panel 5x7 Laser Cut Chipboard 

Beautiful Board Medium Feathers Set of 3 Laser Cut Chipboard

"Paradise" Layout for Reneabouquets & Crafty City Collaboration "Paradise In August"

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog. This month Reneabouquets is partnering up with Crafty City to bring you two different Treasure Boxes filled with yummy goodies. The collaboration is called "Paradise In August". I will be working out of Treasure Box #2 for my project. 

I wanted to have fun with a circle layout today, so here we go... hope you are inspired !

There are a couple things I really like to do when creating layouts. One is layering and the other is textures... This project has 4 different layers. Starting off with the foundation which is 12x12 chipboard covered with the gorgeous Mintay paper collection "Paradise". 

The next layer were several pieces fussy cut and applied to 3D foam pieces. Then the next layer was the 12"x12" doily background (not included in kit) for the main layout which was made dimensional by using pieces of cardboard. The beautiful white shell lace used from the kit was sprayed a peachy color and then rolled in the middle which then provided dimension for the next layer which is Reneabouquets Beautiful Board Chunky Chain Links Frame Set. These simple steps give a new interesting look to your layout. 

For the texture I embossed the Sea Shell Seahorse (included in the kit) as well as the Beautiful Board Sea Turtle (not included in this kit). I also added some Sand Chunky Glitter Glass for sparkle. 

I hope you were inspired to grab one of these Treasure Boxes and join in on the fun with us this month. There is a photo below of Treasure Box #2 (which is the one I designed out of ) and a list also of what the kit includes. All highlighted items are what I actually used in this box for this project.

"Breathe In Breathe Out" Easy Mixed Media Layout

Hi everyone, today I want to share how very simple it is to add some mixed media elements to your scrapbook layouts. Mixed media has gotten so popular but still so many are intimidated by the word "Mixed Media". I'm here today to tell you if you are a scrapper or card maker, chances are you are already doing mixed media.

Wikipedia says: Mixed Media is an artwork in which more than one medium or material has been employed. Assemblages and collages are two common examples of art using different media that will make use of different materials including cloth, paper, wood and found objects. So, what that means if you are a card maker you use paper, sometimes stamping with ink, adding embellishments, sometimes markers etc. ... you are already doing mixed media. So don't let the word scare you any longer. Let's get
started with this very simple layout.  

I really wanted the colors on this to be very muted and subtle so that my photo would really be the focal point. The Art Anthology paints I used were our Metal Effects and our Stone Effects (all products will be listed blow in the video description. 

With the use of a couple of our stencils (and we have so many to choose from) this provided added patterns to my paper as well as texture. 

With the addition of some seed beads (because I can't ever get enough texture... lol) and pretty flowers, my layout was finished. I hope you give this a try. Below is a process video of me creating this layout. I hope I was able to inspire you to get in there and add some paints and textures to your scrapbook layouts. xoxo Toni

"Sweet As Honey" Layout for ReneaBouquets

Hi everyone, Toni here with a new ReneaBouquets design team project. Today I have for you a spring filled layout with lots of ReneaBouquets products.

To start off with I wanted dimension on my page so with a duplicate sheet of the sunflower paper I fussy cut some of the flowers, adhered on chipboard, distressed the edges and then using 3D foam squares applied to the coordinating flower. (You can watch my process in the video below). Then to enhance those pretty flowers I used Black Microbeads from ReneaBouquets store. 

I used Black Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel on my Beautiful Board "Sweet As Honey". The gorgeous Queen Bees with glass wings are made lovingly in ReneaBouquets store. 

Beautiful Board is just the perfect accents to tuck away to embellish your projects, and what can I say about the mulberry flowers, but they are just perfect. 

Thank you for stopping by and paying us a visit. For your pleasure I do have a process video below. I would love you to subscribe to my channel as well as follow me on my social networks. Have a wonderful day and do some creating. 

"You Are Enough" Layout for ReneaBouquets

Hi everyone.... hope you are having a wonderful month and today I have a ReneaBouquets design team project featuring some gorgeous items from the store. 

I started off with Prima's Georgia Blue paper collection and gave it some texture using Paper Texture Paste by Finnabair. 

Also added some Diamond Dust to the background for a pretty sparkle. The frames used are Beautiful Board Chunky Chain and for more texture I also used Beautiful Board Brick Elements. 

These Powder Blue and Tangerine Quartz flowers work perfectly on this layout. Stop by the store and see all the amazing colors available. 

All the supplies used from ReneaBouquets are listed in my process video below for your viewing. Thank you for stopping by and wishing you love and creativity. 

Build Your Wings Mixed Media Layout

Hi everyone, Toni here with an Art Anthology Design Team project and I decided to get creative with AA's products on a 12 x 12 layout. 

I also included some beautiful products from Reneabouquets store. Below will be a process video and all products used are listed with weblinks. 

My focal point expressed the beauty of nature and so I wanted to keep the colors very subtle and soft with some organic textures. 

Sometimes mixed media will be intimidating to add to your scrapbook layouts but it absolutely is so very easy. With the additions of some sprays to bring out the highlights on my photo, I was able to get that perfect custom made background paper. 

With the addition of texture paste run through a stencil, this can also provide you with some magical wings for your focal point. Hope you emjoyed and for your pleasure here is a process video.
