Hat Boxes and More - DT Project for Reneabouquets

Hi Crafty friends, 
I am so happy to share these adorable Hat Boxes and Gifts using gorgeous items from Reneabouquets!
Everything you make can be beautifully adorned, and these Hat Boxes are very versatile for many gift-giving opportunities. I have chosen to include some easy options. At the end of this post, you may follow the links for purchase of the digital file and make your own!


 I thought Hat Boxes would be the perfect way to present a small dimensional card,  mini album or gift  that you could easily give as a Mother's Day gift, or for many other occasions. So it set off to design one...


For this lavender Hat Box and the projects below, I have used the following:

Beautiful Board Large Follow Your Heart Doilies Chipboard, that adorns the front of both boxes, perfectly paired with the 1 Ounce No Hole Dark Purple Glass Microbeads in the center. 


For a closer look, here is the amazing Tiny Treasures Premium Paper To Venus And Back Glitter Glass Dragonfly I added to my project along with the  Lavender And White Roses And Leaves Mulberry Flower Set, sprinkled with  Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass, and Delicate Beauty Butterfly Kisses. These are truly amazing and add elegance to any project!

Below is a closer look of the Beautiful Board Large Follow Your Heart Doilies Chipboard, as well as the No Hole Dark Purple Glass Microbeads and Beautiful Beads Designer Glass Moonstone. These lend a nice sparkle and also give awesome texture to the delicate board pieces.



Here you see what the Hat Box can contain. An adorable little brag book that is sure to please any recipient. 

I used the Printed Beautiful Board Tiny Majestic Hummingbirds Chipboard, as it fit perfectly on the cover of this little album, latered onto a piece of Flower Crown Lace . It is also adorned with Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits - Tea RosesBeautiful Beads Designer Glass Moonstones, Delicate Beauty Butterfly Kisses, and Rose colored Microbeads...




The back of this mini album is also beautifully decorated with a piece of the Beautiful Butterfly Lace~Purple 2 1/2 Inch Wide. The gorgeous pearls on the center of the butterfly make this little book equally as lovely on the back as the front...



Here you can also see that I decorated the back of the Hat Box using more White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace, and a Delicate Beauty Butterfly Kisses Butterfly...


Here is another gift option, and a gorgeous alternative to a mini album. A Hat shaped Easel Card!
Every woman needs a crown, so how about this lavender beauty?
I topped it off with another small piece of  White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace, the gorgeous Lavender And White Roses And Leaves Mulberry Flower Set, Nuvo drops and lastly, more 
 Butterfly Kisses Spun Lavender Single Side Printed Butterflies and sprinkles of Moonstone beads and Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits - Tea Roses that also allow the card to stand open.


I hope that you have enjoyed these projects and that they serve as inspiration for you to create your own. As always, I hope that you can 
Be inspired, Be blessed!

Vintage Dream Big Keepsake Wallet- DT Project for Reneabouquets

Hi friends, 
First, I am thrilled to share that I have been invited to be a designer for Reneabouquets! This is a very big honor for me, and I am super excited to share the beautiful items Renea has in her shop to add just the right touch to your special projects.

In this post I am sharing my first design team project, a beautiful journal made with several laces, boards, flowers, and other goodies from Reneabouquets. Links for all mentioned products will be provided for ease of purchase. 

(I used Tonic Studios paper on this project!)

This is the cover of this special journal, where I have used the following:


Here is a closeup of how you can alter the flowers using Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass and Moonstone Beautiful beads to give your flowers added shine. The Printed beautiful board has lovely texture without added bulk, and the mulberry gardenias are just gorgeous!!



The first page in this journal will keep a special picture, housed in the Printed Beautiful Board Medium Lavender Lilac Heart Frame Laser Cut Chipboard. I decided to use the  Dark Purple Glass Microbeads to turn this frame into a shaker. The page allows you to place a picture behind the sparkle!
(The heart-embossed paper is from Tonic Studios)



This page reads: Inspire, and it is finished off with a beautiful piece of Trim-Sheer Romance Lace, as well as a Tiny Treasures Watercolor Shabby Sugar Plum Roses Premium Paper Dragonfly, and the tiny little mulberry rose, also from Renea's shop.
 For some glitzy, sparkly touches, I used the Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass on some of the clips that adorn the pages. 
 This page has a little romantic touch with a belly band topped off with a Beautiful Board  Follow Your Heart Doilies Chipboard and Tranquil Glitter Glass Premium Paper Dragonfly.


 On this pocket, I decided to place  Tiny Gabrielle In Paris Laser Cut Chipboard. I felt she fit right in with the beautiful Paris Themed papers. 
The pocket opens to reveal several places for pictures, journaling, and also a little tuck-spot I topped off with lavender pearls.  
 I fell in love with the depth of color and shine on this Tranquil Glitter Glass Premium Paper Dragonfly, so I used it once again to top off these graduated pages that tie off to the side with a gold-rimmed pink ribbon. 
 This simple page reveals another place for pictures and journaling. I kept it simple by creating a tie with a flower and brad, as well as layered pieces and a gold-guilded dry embossed lavender background for added texture. It also has a hidden side-pocket with an additional pink ribbon to decorate the border. 
 Here you can see that I created a cute little tuck-spot by making a little envelope topped with a heart. I also added another Tiny Treasures Watercolor Shabby Sugar Plum Roses Premium Paper Dragonfly to top off a heart-shaped clip. 

This page is also quite simple, as I loved the layered look of all the script papers, so I embellished it  a heart-shaped ticket on the side with a layer of floral paper and pink ribbon.  
On this page I made layers with floral cutouts and vellum, and also added vellum flowers that I embellished with  Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. To finish it, I also topped it with the gorgeous Beautiful Butterfly Lace. The paper is also dry-embossed and inked to match. 
This simple page houses two tags topped with tabs. All of the papers have stitching, embossing, and inking on the edges for a cohesive look in this book.

Here ends my journal. with more corners from the Beautiful Board 6 Piece Small Texture Pattern In Purple Laser Cut Chipboard, and a bottom trim with Reneabouquets Trim-Sheer Romance Lace.

Be sure to watch my video for a real-time and closeup view of this beauty. I had lots of fun making it, and as always hope that you can Be inspired, Be blessed!
