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!

Girl's Little World Mini Album


Hi friends, 
Today I present to you my latest mini album. To make this mini book, I used Tonic Studios Dies and Lemoncraft papers aptly called: Girl's Little World. I absolutely love the watercolor images in this collection, and thought they were perfect for the type of album I wanted to make. 
On the cover, I began with a  white base, dotted all along the edge with different colored Nuvo drops. This immediately added to the whimsy of this book. I also used one of the darling images from the collection and highlighted it using Ranger Glossy Accents. To finish it, I also added a small banner topped with the baby's name, and different pastel-colored gems. The little butterflies also decorate the cover with matching wings and little gems. 

Here you see a closer view of the mulberry roses I used to decorate the corner of the cover. They are a lovely delicate pink. I also hand colored the butterflies using promarkers. 

For the spine of this book, I arranged small flowers and heat embossed them in different colors to match the papers. I also added small pieces of the lovely trims used inside the book, and topped it with an adorable little bow, wrapped in blue twine to match. 

Inside the front cover is yet another stunning image. I added small sparkly sequins throughout just to give it a little shine. 

The first page will allow mom to introduce her little baby girl with the title : Princess. I fussy cut all the images and added a small butterfly and tiny bird die cuts layered for dimension. Behind the oval frame is also a small pink trim I used throughout this book.

Here is the second page with more adorable images and places for pictures. 

Here you see the New Baby photo sleeve I created using Tonic Studios dies, and a small bow from Pink & Main. I also added the mother bunny image here, with an embossed flower and layers of trim, tiny hearts, flowers, and touches of shine. 

The opposing page houses a little booklet which fits more pictures. It is also topped with a little girl bunny, altered with glimmer, and grouped with the word Love atop a small heart. I used shimmery soft yarn to create the closure. 

On this page spread I added four matching oval frames. Then I decorated the pages with little bunnies from the paper collection, small butterflies and pink embossed cabbage roses , a pinwheel and the title: Fantastic Girl. 

Here you can also see the beautiful Daisy Chain Lace from Reneabouquets on the edges of the pages. A small pink heart is also topped with a daisy.  I cut these from the lace and used them throughout the book as well.  

The next page is so endearing, with the two little girls who appear hugging, such a tender gesture!
I used more small interactive frames, a heart shaped paper clip layered with vellum, beautiful board pieces topped with moonstones, and a darling little flower-filled cup. It reads: Pretty Day.

The opposing page has more frames, a small teddy, and duck. Both are made in the same fashion as the heart. All of the small flowers are fussy cut from the collection. The sentiments read: My Super Girl, and Special Moment. Small pictures may be placed inside.

This layout appears simple, but it houses a little door for more pictures. The left page features little pink shoes. these are grouped with more flowers, and a little blue butterfly. The opposite page is a simple frame that has been bordered with the delicate pink flower trim. 

Here is a closer look at the small shoes, and the tab that opens the page. You can also see the dry-embossing on the paper. I used an embossing folder for the added texture. 

This page also has a shaker!!!! It is also a door into another picture pocket. I adorned it with the lovely little girl, flowers that serve as a frame, two shiny dragonflies, and a small tab on the corner keeps it closed.

The opposing page also has a clear acetate pocket, topped with more butterfly beautiful board pieces colored to match and topped with small daisies and gems. 

Here is the open page, revealing the space for a picture and a dainty heart-shaped garland. I  colored each to match the papers.

The very last page houses small tags that can either be used for important milestones, or more pictures. I also   topped the pocket with embossed paper and a gorgeous piece of lace. Then I finished it all with more gems.

For the back cover I added a clear pocket cut with Tonic Studios dies, and also added larger tags with beautiful seam binding ties The pocket is layered with a flower swag and a small blue butterfly. On the corner is another beautiful board butterfly colored to match the page and finished with sequins. 
I hope you've enjoyed this project share, that you can Be inspired, and 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 
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!

Shabby Chic Envelope with Attributes of Love for ReneaBouquets

Hello friends!
Welcome to my blog. I am sharing a very special project with you today, as I am thrilled to be invited as a Guest Designer for ReneaBouquets this month!
To make use of her absolutely gorgeous projects, I decided to make a piece inspired by 1 Corinthians 13. In this chapter of the Bible, we can read about the Attributes of Love. I was inspired to use this as the message of my home decor piece. 
This is a metal and wood envelope, and as you can see, I was able to alter it and make it a gorgeous piece that would be suitable for home decor, or to celebrate any special occasion!

I began by painting the base of the envelope with gesso, and adding designer paper to the inside. I then used gel medium, and Diamond Chunky Glitter Glass to give it a shabby distressed, but classy look. Of course I had to make use of some of Renea's absolutely gorgeous Vintage Blue Mulberry flowers
I love Gardenias and Roses, so these had to make it on the front. I surrounded a Beautiful Board Victorian Heart Doily and added  Small Victorian Scroll Borders, all embossed in white, and then topped them off with Butterflies to match. The Wide Floral Embroidered Lace and Reneabouquets Trim-Timeless White Lace
 added just the perfect mix of vintage and femininity to my project. 
Here you can see the beautiful Trim Timeless White lace as well as the texture from the glass glitter added to the designer paper. I used Stamperia papers for this project, as well as vellum and Kraft paper for lots of shabby texture.


You may be surprised to learn that Renea  also carries trinkets, but you can see some here, with the little glass bauble, as well as the precious pearl and diamond button I added to the front of the large envelope.

 Here you can see that I designed banners to top my envelopes. Each with a different attribute of love, and all take part in completing the Bible verse about love.


 Here is a closeup of one of the envelopes that I stitched with gold thread, and added magnets to for easier closure.
 I also used a delicate skeleton leaf from Renea's shop to add texture to a small note that I hand stitched with gold thread. All of my enveloped got texture and shabbiness from Renea's shop!

Here you can see the gorgeous Moonstone glass beads, Champagne Microbeads, Heart Lattice Chipboard, and Pendant Blue dragonfly, all from Renea's shop. The lent just the perfect shabby touch to this romantic envelope that I layered using vellum that I embossed and altered with mixed media. 

Here you can see where I also made a small banner using vintage seam binding topped with small hearts and Cotton Candy flat back pearls . This envelope is also a shaker, and has an inlay heart that also states :Love does not delight in evil bu rejoices in the Truth...

For this envelope I used more of the stunning wide floral embroidered lace, Cotton candy pearls, and another dragonfly to go along with the tattered papers, tulle, and vellum lace piece for an extra shabby look. 

I also heat embossed and distressed the envelopes as needed using Ranger Oxide ink and White Embossing powder from Recollections, and a stamp from BoBunny. 

The last envelope in this project was made using embossed vellum, mulberry paper, glimmery tulle, embossed and distressed paper, lacy paper diecuts, and I added heart paper clips from Tonic Studios as well as the gorgeous dragonfly that matched perfectly from Reneabouquets. 
I share more details in my video, as well as a tutorial showing the assembly of the large envelope. This was tons of fun to make, and it was a wonderful experience using these gorgeous projects. Please use the links for your convenience, and as always I hope that you can 
Be inspired, & 
Be Blessed!
