Tree of Life Loaded Wedding Frame: Reneabouquets Design Team Project

Hi Crafters,

Today I bring you this loaded Tree of Life Frame Chipboard Kit and Mini Album made with Tonic Studios Keepsake Book Maker Dies. I knew the moment I saw this gorgeous Beautiful Board piece, that I would enjoy working with all of its intricate detail! It was a perfect opportunity to play with my acrylic paints and Nuvo drops also!

I thought of this as a great bridal gift, and to give an example, inserted a picture of my wedding as a sample. To match the picture, I painted the Beautiful board pieces with white acrylic paint, followed by several other acrylic paints in blues, greens, pink, lavender, and yellow. Using a small brush, I added detail to the small ivy, and using dry-brush and splatter techniques, I was able to give the frame a speckled look incorporating all the mentioned colors. 

It was the perfect touch to add Reneabouquet mulberry flowers to adorn this frame in soft pink and seafoam. This allowed the flowers to stand out. A small Tiny Treasure Lissie Glitter Glass dragonfly was the perfect addition. It has a subtle copper sparkle and a small pearl center. Just lovely among the other elements that top the frame. The itty bitty blossoms, skeleton leaves and mulberry roses also got a touch of Nuvo drops for added sparkle. 

Here is a closer look of the hand-painted details and the lovely flowers Renea has to offer in her store. They are delicate and adorable on any project!

The best part about this frame, is that it also has a pocket in the back. Genius!! I decided to make a small mini album to fit the theme. The board is also hand painted, and this time I added a Precious Moments premium paper glitter glass butterfly to accompany the mulberry flowers. 

Here you see a closer look at the Beautiful Board piece that is also the focal point of this mini album. It makes such a big impact! I wanted it to also be soft on the eyes, so I colored it with a Nuvo marker in a soft pink, and also added shine with pink nuvo drops. This also has an added butterfly, gears, small hearts, and lace, all from Reneabouquets. 

As you can see here, there is also a gorgeous piece of Garden Bouquet lace, very fitting for this embellishment. I just love ho soft everything turned out once it was assembled!

Here is another view at the mini album, made with Tonic Studios dies and Blue Fern Studios papers, sold at Reneabouquets. It is gorgeous paper, so you need not add too much to it for it to have impact. I added delicate photo corners from Tonic Studios Designer Series dies and a seam binding bow to close it off.

The delicate gears are backed with vellum, topper with Nuvo drops, and nestled atop a snippet of Ivory wide floral embroidered lace. A Precious Moment Butterfly was the perfect complement to the cover of my book!

 The first page is adorned with a piece of Ivory wide floral embroidered lace and an itty bitty flower. 

As you can see, the inside is quite simple. I only added two signatures to ensure it would fit inside the frame. I also made some pages out of vellum and thin paper. Small tags also give a bit of whimsy to the pages. 

I hope you have enjoyed this proyect. I certainly loved working with all the supplies Renea has to offer, and each month she has a great coupon to go along with your purchase! More details in the store, and below, a list of supplies for you to make your own!

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!

DT Project for Crafter's Castle with Tonic Studios Bouquets and Banners Wonderfall Dies

Hi crafty friends,

This month I am collaborating as a Design Team Member with Crafter's Castle. Please stop by this blog and participate in monthly challenges. All craft levels as well as craft types are welcome, and every month there is a random winner selected to receive a prize. International entries are welcome!

This month's challenge Prize is Another Cup of Coffee Digital Kit from Taylormadecards4u.

 Today, you will see a sampling of projects I have made with this Digital Paper Collection, as well as my Tonic Studios and Tim Holtz products.

My first project was a masculine Waterfall Card, made this using the Tonic Studios Bouquets and Banners Wonderfall Dies This allowed me to place several images from the collection on the front of this interactive card.

I also used the beautifully masculine coffee-themed paper that I cut using a beveled edge die from Tonic Studios.

Here you can see the mechanism at work, and how I used one of the many images to decorate the waterfall created by the dies. The papers have a lovely vintage feel that I layered with other cream and copper colored papers from my stash.

Inside the card, I also used the sentiment: Just for You, on a banner cut with the same dies. All of the edges were distressed using Tim Holtz Distress ink from Ranger in Ground Espresso. I love the masculine feel of this card, and it's perfect for Father's Day!

One of the fun things about using Digital papers, is the ability to manipulate the size of the images. For this, all you need is a basic home printer. This is what I did to make this very feminine card, using one of the images featuring a young girl carrying a tray of coffee cups and carafe.

I used flowers from my stash, as well as a pink ribbon to emulate the one worn by the small girl. I also topped off her hair with s tiny flower embellishment, and created a coffee cup that I painted to match using Tim Holtz Iced Spruce ink and Nuvo Creative Pens in Pink colors. The sentiment is a stamp that reads: Brewed with Love. The doily shape is reminiscent of a place setting, and I used a Crafter's Companion die to cut this out of a latte colored paper.

For my last, and favorite card, I used images from the collection as a mixed-media collage on a triptych style card. This was a lot of fun to do, as I was able to incorporate lots of textures and layers, giving me a very dimensional result with beautiful elements interspersed throughout.

On the front, I increased the image size, and for fun, I also incorporated the smaller version of the girl with roses, as it originally appeared in the collection. The added tags with coffee plant motifs and vintage ads are all from the same paper collection.

Here you can also see how I layered machine stitching, corrugated paper and ephemera from Tim Holtz. A double bow made of twine topped with a vintage button finished the front of my card nicely. 

Here you see the rest of the card, with several playful layers of the lovely images in this collection, wooden butterflies and hummingbird. The entire scene is like a garden. Just like the one in which my own grandmother used to grow her own coffee.

Here is a closed look at the piecing. All papers are distressed and inked with Gesso and Espresso Ink.

Materials Used:

Another Cup of Coffee Digital Kit

Tonic Studios Bouquets and Banners Wonderfall Dies

Spring in Paris Card with Tonic Studios Craft Kit 21

Hi friends, 

I am sharing a very special card I made for my mother in law using items in my stash, and a product I had been wanting to try. I absolutely love using mixed media, and have incoporated this into this card. To make the process easier to watch, I have done a step-by-step video with music. All items used in the card are from my stash, and the dies used are from Tonic Studios Craft Kit, which can be purchased as a subscription. (This one happened to be #21, and is no longer available.)

I invite you to watch the process, and enjoy seeing how it comes together. A huge thank you to Reneabouquets for the Beautiful Board pieces on this card, and to Deb Hendricks for the gorgeous appliqué.

As always, I hope that you can Be inspired, Be Blessed!
