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.
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.
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 sweetTrinkets Set of 6 Victorian Snowflakesfrom RB store.
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.
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.
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.
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
Hi everyone, it's almost that time for us to countdown to Christmas, and here is a fun and easy way to create a memorydex file to help you out.
I started off with a small wooden tray that I purchased at the Dollar store and painted it white. Then I cut dowels (purchased also at the Dollar Store) and put them in place to hold the memorydex cards. Painted it all white and then began to decorate the box.
I then diecut 25 memorydex cards and proceeded to decorate each one using many Christmas items from the Reneabouquet store. There is a complete list below with all the products and their links for your convenience. Below is also a process video so you can watch how I created the tray to hold the memorydex cards.... wishing you a Christmas filled with sparkle and joy !
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
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.
Hi everyone, Toni here with a new project for Reneabouquets Design Team. I'm 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.
It's party time!!!! It's celebration time at Reneabouquets because it 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 Chipboardwas 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".
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and I hope you enjoyed this project. Below is a video of the explosion box in detail and I will be posting Part 1 and Part 2 of tutorial on this explosion box in the next couple days to stay tuned. xoxo
Here is a photo of the reverse side pocket which I simply made some tags to hold more photos. I embellished the pocket holder with the same flowers as listed above as well as some of Reneabouquets one of a kind butterflies. The ones that I chose are these sweet tiny Magical Miniatures Watercolor Spun Sugar Butterflies. I took a couple of the Beautiful Board Small Pretty Ivy Pattern and painted it a pale green and then adhered Reneabouquets No Hole Fern Green Glass Microbeads to the top of the beautiful board ivy using glossy accents.
I hope you were inspired by this project If you are interested in tutorials for both the Tree of Life Loaded Card as well as the waterfall folio then I have provided you a video below for your pleasure. Wishing you a day filled with peace and joy... xoxo
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
Hi everyone, hope you are getting in a little bit of crafting time... I'm still in the organizational mode so I decided to alter up these canvas bags that I purchased at hobby lobby (One was .99 and the other $1.29) and use them to store all my beautiful Reneabouquets Glitters, Beads, & Pearls.
The photo above is to hold my glitters and microbeads and I started by attaching several different laces from Reneabouquets store. All the products for these projects will be listed below with their websites.
I love Reneabouquets Shaker Boxes, they are so easy to assemble and are so versatile. This one here is the small round and I used the Printed BB Cherry Blossom Frame and then filled it with some gorgeous glitters, flowers and tiny butterflies from the store. The Flower Girl Dahlia was covered with the Gawdie Diamond Chunky Glitter Glass as well as some of the leaves from my stash.
The next canvas bag was shaped I used one of my favorite laces from the store Gold Embroidered Lace and then decided to used the small square shaker box. The frame on top is the BB Seashell Scroll Frame which I embossed with several different Lindy's. The shaker bits are a mixture of pearls, shard glitter glass and microbeads from the store as well as BB Bits Seashells.
Here is an up close photo of that magical mixture. I of course then finished off both projects using mulberry flowers from the store. Reneabouquets carries so many beautiful colors and these are handmade right here in the U.S.A. I hope you enjoyed this and are inspired to make pretty containers to place your craft supplies in. Until next time, have a blessed day, be safe and stay healthy. xoxo
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 !
