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!

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.

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!

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!

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!
