Valentine Card with Copics and Daisy Mae Design Dies

Hi crafter, This past week we had a snowy and cold day, perfect for some coloring! It just so happened there was a craft-along with Clare Rowlands on Youtube hosted by Craftworld and I was able to print this adorable image below for free, and color along with the super talented designer of Daisy May Stamps and dies.(If you haven't seen her work, be sure to look her up with my links below!!)

 I decided to play along, adding my own little twist, and colored the image in similar hues...

What I learned: I was truly inspired to finish this project, and also loved the way the colors in the image played along with papers in my stash that I was very intent on using up. I also got to see someone Clare's coloring style, which although different than my own, is absolutely stunning!

I paired the little girl with a Bible verse from Jeremiah 31:3. It reads: "I have loved you with an EVERLASTING love..."

the adorable sticker came from Hobby Lobby, and it allows me to share my faith, which is the very reason I do believe in LOVE. 

Below, you can see how I finished this card. I used Daisy Mae Tag dies that are absolutely adorable and shabby. I layered and inked my papers to match the floral background of this large card. and also used a sweater-textured embossing folder to match the texture in the little girl's hat. I topped it with a matching bow, and off it went in the mail! We can't keep these, right??

 I hope you've enjoyed this little card share, and thank you for supporting my channel and blog by using my links. This means the world to me, and allows me to bring you better content on my channel and blog. 

Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Art Impressions Panda Card

 Hi crafters, 

I was inspired to start coloring again, and have made that one of my crafty goals for 2021. Today, I am sharing a card I completed and hope to enter into the Blog challenge over at Art Impressions. I have been playing with some of their stamps and really enjoying them. Here is the card I've made:

This was so much fun to make! I started by using copics to color the fun little panda. I then fussy cut the arm and leg portions to overlap the scalloped circle. This would allow me to show the image and still use the pretty die cut I selected. The rest was a matter of layering and using the sentiment stamp on a heart shape to complete my card. Some of the added details include the heat embossed bamboo. This image is also part of the stamp set. I decided to place it here and there for additional detail. I love to layer my cards, and this was no exception. Finally, I added small vellum flowers I created by also heat embossing and coloring. To make them shine, I added small gems to the center. This is one of my all around favorite ways to add shine. I hope you've enjoyed this card, and thank Art Imptresssions for such a cute stamp set!

Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Winter Wonderland DT Projects with Reneabouquets

Hi Crafters,

Raquel here! Today I am sharing this collection of projects made with adorable items from Reneabouquets, my personal collection of Winter Wonderland papers, and several dies from my stash. In this group of items, there is also and adorable Doctor’s Bag which I’ve made with a digital file from Nicole Silhouette. 

Let’s begin looking a these goodies!

First, I’ve made this adorable Christmas themed tag. More whimsical than anything, it shows an image from Stampingbella that I’ve colored and layered among Beautiful board Christmas Cookies that appear to be sugar coated, and adorable shiny tag, and a pink tulle ruffle do add a bit of texture.

I began this tag by cutting out layers of my Winter Wonderland blue papers, then also cut out the stamped image and popped it on top adding a thick layer of foam between it and the background. To add more color, I cut a pink glitter card with a scalloped edge, then added the adorable beautiful board pieces from Reneabouquets. These were heat embossed for a sugary finish.

You can also see that I added stitching, pink and white snowflakes, small gems, and an adorable tag sentiment from Tonic Studios that I cut from my collection, then laminated with sequins and angel hair. The sentiment reads: “Winter Wishes and Snowflake kisses.”

The next item that I made was this small notebook. I used papers from my Winter Wonderland Pink design. This adorable paper has snowflakes in pinks and blues, with heart motifs and distressed edges. On the cover I also added daisy chain lace, an adorable tiny snowman, a piece of butterfly lace, and the word Sparkle, as well as another piece of pink tulle; all from Reneabouquets.

Below is also a set of 3x3  notecards. This playful little set is adorned with little images from Stampingbella atop little white doilies. I also used my paper collection here, by first stitching the edges in a zig-zag stitch. I then added small poinsettias layered with vellum and lace flowers, and layered Peach Wide Floral lace from Reneabouquets for an elegant finish. The small banners aptly read: Christmas Cheer.

Below is another project. This time, it’s a 3D Doctor’s Bag made with a digital file from Nicole Silhouette and my digital papers. I started by stitching along the edges, then decorated it with the gorgeous trim from Reneabouquets. I also added shabby Snowflakes that I heat embossed, and another printed beautiful board piece for a bit of whimsy.

Here is a closer look at the Garden Bouquet lace. It is one of my favorites to use on my projects! I also added little gems to the centers of the snowflakes in the paper pattern for even more shine...

Here is a look at the other side, which I adorned with a mulberry Rose from Reneabouquets nestled with a delicate bow as well as intricate leaves, all dusted in Gaudy Glitter glass, and finished with a precious moment glitter glass printed butterfly.

Lastly, I used more glitter glass to add some shine to the bag toppers you see pictured below. These were fun and easy to make, and I’ve topped them all with Beautiful Beads Mermaids Tail Iridescent Pearls. These were the perfect hue to finish off my snowflake embellishments.

I hope that you have enjoyed my projects. Be sure to follow my links for each item noted, including November’s coupon code for Reneabouquets and visit my Etsy store to get your hands on this adorable paper! I have truly enjoyed working with Reneabouquets items this year, and as always, I hope that you can 

Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Scalloped Embrace Fall Mini Album with Reneabouquets

Hi Crafters, 

I am so happy to be able to share this special project with you! I have incorporated the beautiful Fall themed Beautiful Board, laces, and butterflies from Reneabouquets, as well as some of my favorite Tonic Studios dies and Cardstock. All links for products shown, as well as coupon code, will be available for you at the bottom of this post. My linktree is available to make your selections easy. 

Now lets get to this project!

This is my mini album, encased in its own box, and made with the Scalloped Embrace die set from Tonic Studios. I LOVE the end results, as it is elegant, and can be used for more than one type of occasion. The cover reads simply : ALWAYS.

You can see that I have adorned this cover with a gorgeous display of Beautiful Board pieces, The 

Fancy Fall Tuck Ins were my favorite elements in this mini album.  On the top left, you can see how I altered one of them using my Nuvo products to match the cover of my book. On the right, is one of Renea's In to the Mystic Premium paper butterflies. The colors are just perfect for fall!

Below, is a gathering of  Beautiful Board Medium Pumpkin Patch Set Laser Cut Chipboard. I altered these as well, and added papers to match the collection...

You can see that there is also a delicate shaker element behind the title of this book. I layered die cut pieces, and then filled the pocket with Hexagon Lilypad sequins from Tonic studios among others for a bit of shine...

I also topped off the gorgeous box that houses this mini album with a Sweet Dreams Dusty Peach Premium Paper Butterfly, and an Into the Mystic Butterfly. To make this box special, I also layered a gorgeous Wide Gold Embroidered Lace between the inlay panels that I cut out of Tonic Studios cardstock, as well as altered papers that I colored using Nuvo Embellishment mousse in Mint Tea. The result is absolutely elegant!!

Here is a closer look at the gorgeous lace as well as the tiny acorns I used to make a dangle for the spine of my album.

Below are the interior pages of this mini album. I alternated simple pages with interactive ones. All have been adorned with different Beautiful board pieces that I altered using Nuvo Glitter drops, pens, and Crystal drops. I also included pockets in each page, with plenty of room for pictures. 

 

On this particular page, I also added the Itty Bitty Peach mulberry flowers altered with Gaudy Girl Glass Glitter. This always creates such a lovely shine and texture on my projects. It is a perfect combination! The swirly ornate pumpkin shines with small drops of Nuvo iridescent drops. The tabs on the pages allow you to place a small hidden picture, and protect it from the decorative elements. 

The back page also has a small flower, skeleton leaf, and Premium Paper Lissie Glitter Glass Dragonfly. It has the perfect touch of glimmer with a copper body and small pearl. I love all of these beautiful products and am grateful to have the opportunity to showcase them in my projects. I think you will like them too. Please feel free to peruse the links below, take advantage of this month's coupon, and as always I hope that you can 

Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Tonic Studios Jewelry Box Tutorial

 Hi Crafters,

 I’m sharing my latest tutorial showing you how to assemble the Jewelry Box from Tonic Studios. I’ve used Tonic Studios Cardstock and Nuvo products among others. To make this box extra special, I used Nuvo drops to color the Beautiful Board leaf tuck-ins from Reneabouquets. Using two different colored drops as if they were paint, I "Colored" in the leaves, creating a gradient of color and shine. The rest of the box was splattered with Gesso from Liquitex, and dotted with Nuvo drops in a gorgeous Copper color. The Venetian Beautiful Board pieces also got an antique verdigris finish by using Nuvo Stone drops mixed with Dream Drops. I love using mixed media techniques to make my projects come alive, and this was no exception. The dusty peach flowers are from Reneabouquets, and in my video, I show you how I add glimmer by using first Nuvo Glimmer Spray in Aztec Gold, then top them off with Gaudy Girl Glitter Glass. Lastly, I also added touches of Golden Era Glacier Paste in key places, and topped little corners with Pink Microbeads from Reneabouquets for more texture.

 I like to share my process to help inspire others to keep creating, and try new techniques! As always, I hope you enjoy the video, and that you can Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Fall Treasures DT Project for Reneabouquets

Hi Crafters,

I am sharing my Design Team project for Reneabouquets; Fall Treasures.

You will see how I have incorporated gorgeous items from Reneabouquets as well as some of my favorite Tonic Studios dies and Nuvo products to create wonderful fall themed gifts.

For this project, I made a layered card and jewelry box. To begin, I used a base of heavy Cardstock that I layered with gorgeous Tonic Studios designer series papers, Nuvo drops, and Glimmer drops. Then for the added Shabby look, I layered a gorgeous piece of Wide Floral Embroidered Lace in Ivory with a Venetian Embroidered lace in Coffee. This is coupled with two Beautiful Board Ornate Pumpkins, available in different sizes to suit your needs.

Upon a closer look, you can see that I altered the Pumpkins using Nuvo products: Pens, glitter, sequins, glimmer paste, inks, and Glitter drops all helped to make this project shine! To top it off, I made a double bow with a small bronze tag.

Along with this card, I made this lovely jewelry box using my Toni’s Studios luxury papers and set of dies. To make it come alive, I topped it with Nuvo drops, then made a lovely floral collage on top using Reneabouquets butterflies, mulberry flowers, and Tiny Treasure butterflies.

For added shine on the peach mulberry flowers, I added Reneabouquets Gaudy Girl Diamond Chunky glass glitter, as well as golden Nuvo paste from Tonic. The beautiful board leaves also got a light touch of Nuvo drops in colors to match. Everything was sprayed with Gold glimmer spray from Nuvo for added shine.

Here you can see the gorgeous Tiny Treasure butterflies. These are in Sweet Dreams Dusty Peach, and Into the Mystic. The colors and shine on Reneabouquets’s butterflies are just gorgeous!

For a metallic verdigris finish, I used Nuvo drops on the Venetian scrolls that I also added to this box. I love the texture on the finish!

You can use the laces, trims and goodies from Renea to make your projects stand out, and as you can see, you will undoubtedly find the color to suit your taste too!

Thank you for your time, be sure to use the coupon code available this month, and you will receive 15% off of Reneabouquets trinkets!

I hope that you can Be inspired. Be blessed!

Memory Dex card using Tonic Studios Craft Kit # 35 and Rustic Rose

Hi Crafters!

I recently made this little Memory Dex card using Tonic Studios Craft Kit # 35, and some of its Gorgeous contents. It may be a small card, but it's full of lovely details only Tonic can bring you!

 

To begin, I used one of the double sided papers from the Upcoming Rustic Rose Collection. It's wonderful to work with double sided papers, as it makes it easier to coordinate your projects. Here, you can see the base of my card, and the matching flowers, are both made with the same paper. To make the little flowers have an extra bit of whimsy, I added  some shine with Nuvo Glitter.

The adorable tag I used in a horizontal perspective gave my little card some beautiful embossed detail. I added a bit more sparkle to it, by using Shimmer Powder in falling leaves on the layer that tops the tag, and Nuvo Jewel Drops for a faint green trail. I finished my card using the stamped phrase "Friends" on a small banner, and added Nuvo Crystal Drops in Heritage Rose and green pearls to match. 

This is just one of the many ways you can use these products to make something delicate and lovely. Please watch my step-by-step tutorial and follow the links below for products. You will easily arrive at each just by clicking on each image below!

I hope you enjoy adorable little card, and that you can Be inspired, Be Blessed!
