Butterfly Mobile with Rinea Foiled Paper

Hello friends!

Two blog posts in April? What??? Hahah - yep, still just getting into the swing of things! Here with go with another fun Rinea Foiled Paper Project! It’s a beautiful butterfly mobile!

I realized after making it how difficult it was going to be to photograph! 😂 

Here are the products you will need for this project:

Metallic Variety Pack Foiled Paper

Butterfly Punch

Clear Thread or fishing line

Hand sewing needle

Hot Glue

Small wreath form

Assorted greenery and flowers

Ribbon

Seed Beads

Step 1:

Punch out a ton of butterflies!

Step 2:

Using your sewing needle and clear thread, attach two seed beads to the bottom of a piece of thread and tie a double knot. Add your butterflies to the line and knot each butterfly as you go.  Create 4 strands of various lengths and attach to your wreath form.

Step 3:

Add your greenery and flowers to the wreath form using hot glue.

Step 4:

Use two lengths of ribbon and attach at 4 opposite points of the wreath to create your hanger. I hot glued them, then tie a knot at the top, creating a loop to hang

Step 5: (optional)

Using hot glue, add a second butterfly to random pieces to give a 3D look! Hang your mobile and enjoy!

Pumpkin Fun with Rinea

Hello friends!

Fall leaves, crisp air.....it can only mean one thing....EVERYTHING PUMPKIN!!!   My first  Rinea Project this month is all about the pumpkins!!

Today I'm sharing an adorable handmade Pumpkin Welcome Sign! This was a fun project I tell ya! I'm obsessed with all the fun thing my local Dollar Tree store has, and I recently picked up a wooden pumpkin sign base and metal fall words. This was a perfect time to use them!

Here are the products you will need for this project:

 Haunted Foiled Paper Variety Pack
(I used the followed from the pack)

Marigold Glossy 
Emerald Starstruck

Ghost Ink
Rubbing Alcohol
Adhesive of Choice

Scissors
Jute Twine
Sand Paper

I started by tracing my pumpkin onto a piece of Marigold Glossy Foiled Paper. I trimmed it out and glued it onto my pumpkin cutout with liquid adhesive. I used sandpaper to smooth the edges and add a bit of distressed look.

  

 

Next, I lightly traced out where I wanted my pumpkin lines to be - you know, the lines that make a pumpkin a pumpkin! Using a direct to paper method, I swiped my GHOST INK over my markings, light created swooshes and let dry.  I spritzed with rubbing alcohol and wiped off the color with a paper towel - MAGIC!!! LOVE the Ghost Ink!!!

   

I found some pumpkin leaf templates online, so I traced those onto my Emerald Starstruck Foiled paper and trimmed out. The were arranged and glued one along with my "Welcome" words. I tied some jute twine around the stem and voila!  Easy Peasy!

  

  

Love how this project came together!

Flower Power with Rinea

Hello friends!

I'm back again today with another beautiful Rinea creation.  Today I'm sharing a card that I made most of the same materials I used in my first Rinea project this month! It's cool that you can take the same materials and create something entirely new!

Here are the products you will need for this project:

Emerald/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

(OPT) Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Foiled Paper

(OPT) Silver/Silver Starstruck Foiled Paper

Oma's Postcard Stamp Set

Starburst Sentiments Stamp Set

Image Stazon Pigment Inks - Piano Black, Shamrock Green

Flower Die Cuts

Liquid Adhesive

Assorted Punches

Embossing Folder

Nuvo Vintage Drops

Cardstock

To start, I took some of the Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled paper that I had stamped with Oma's Postcard & Shamrock Green Pigment Ink and ran it through a quilted pattern embossing folder. I had a leftover piece from my Fortune Cookies with the circle cut out, so I used that as my overlay! I trimmed it down to fit exactly over my base piece and glued it down with liquid adhesive.

I used the Starburst Sentiment Stamp with Piano Black Pigment Ink to stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment onto a piece of Silver/Silver Starstruck Foiled Paper, then punched out with a circle punch. I also punched a piece of Emerald/Emerald Starstuck paper using a scalloped circled and layered with my sentiment.

At this point, I felt like I really needed an extra focal point, so I grabbed a pretty flower diecut that I had in my stash. Didn't it work perfectly? I adhered it with some liquid adhesive and then popped up the sentiment.  A few layers of cardstock were added in the background to frame it and voila!  To embellish just that little extra, I used Nuvo Vintage Drops on the quilting to look like tufts.

Retro Fun with Rinea

Hello crafty friends!

I have 2 handmade cards to share with you today for Rinea!  

For this first card, I started by pulling the Glossy Copper/Gold Foiled Paper from the Metallics Foiled Paper Pack.  The background and chevrons (hand cut by me!) were both made with this color. 

I stamped the car image onto a piece of Glossy Mocha/Gold Foiled Paper using Ghost Ink, then used alcohol and a towel to gently remove the color, leaving the silver underneath!  I love the Ghost Ink Technique! If you would like more information on the Ghost Ink technique, you can check it out HERE.

The sentiment was stamped with Staz-On Ink onto the Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper and matted with Turquoise Starstruck. So pretty!!  To finish, I added a few Gold Glitter Drops for dimension.

Here is a second card I created using the same Ghost Ink technique:

The only part I did differently with this card was I stamped the image with Versamark Ink onto a piece of patterned paper and fussy cut out before adhering to the card. You can see the stars that I stamped with Ghost Ink peeking out in the background!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you are inspired to be creative today!

Rinea Easter/Baby Shower Topiaries

Hello crafty friends!

I have some cool new projects to share with you for Rinea today! :)  I wanted to make some sort of Topiary and create two different versions. SO - I created one with larger flowers to be used as a Baby Shower decoration (like a centerpiece) and one as an Easter Decoration (which you will see at the end of the post!).  Want to know how I made it? Read on!

The first Topiary starts with a styrofoam easter egg shape. I used a flower punch to cut the shapes from Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper  and Lavender/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.  I totally forgot to count how many flowers I used - but it would depend on the size of the flower you are cutting and your styrofoam base.

Once I had all my pretty flowers cut out, I started pinning them into the egg using plastic head pins (you could hot glue if you didn't want a pin showing). I fluffed each petal out as I went.  Once it was completely covered, I inserted a paper straw into the bottom of the egg to hold it up.  

  

I took a small terra cotta pot and added a strip of the Lavender Glossy Paper around the top to decorate. Inside the pot in added a few river stones for weight and topped with some faux moss, then inserted my egg.  Finally, one more flower was added to the front of the pot and a pretty cabochon was added to the center.

   

You could totally change the colors to blues for a boy shower or neutrals for a surprise shower! They would make adorable centerpieces. I used the new Florals Pack to make this one:

  

   

For this pot, instead of the moss, I used shreds of Rinea Foiled Paper! :) More "Easter" I felt. I also used dressmaker's pins on this topiary - you can't really see them as much. A totally different option for you!

I hope you enjoyed my quick tutorial!  See you again really soon!

Rinea Scrapbook Layout

Hello friends!

I have one more project for Rinea to share with you this month. Our partnership with Rita Barakat continues - and you will see I used that sweet little Fairy stamp again. I also had one of her stencils to play with! Now, I have to admit that stencils are completely out of my comfort zone, so I tried by best!!!  This is an 8x8 page.

For this project I used pieces from the Misfits Variety Pack (Crafters Pack 6x12).   I used the Glossy Sapphire Blue and the stencil! I took a pencil and traced the pattern through HARD enough to raise it up, then use sandpaper to rough it up. I actually re-applied the stencil and used some Nuvo Glitter Accents and a palette knife to apply the glitter through the stencil over top of the the distress stenciled image! Are you still with me? Basically, I stenciled it twice :) I layered it onto a piece of Starstruck Silver Foiled Paper and cut in half.

You can see where I adhered the one half of this stencil portion - on the right hand side of my page!  What did I do with the other half? Simple - die cut little flowers!  You can see those scattered across the center of the page. I used the Emerald Starstruck Foiled Paper to mat my 4x4 photos.

See in the background? I actually used the Rita Barakat Fairy Girl stamp again - this time as a mask and stamp!  To do that - I simply laid the stamp with the actual rubber part upwards (think opposite of regular stamping) and sprayed with a glimmer spray a few times. Now I created a masked area under the stamp - and inked up my stamp at the same time!  While it was still wet, I quickly turned over the stamp and stamped with inked up stamp!  I thought it turned out super cute!

  

A few more Glitter Accents were used with my flower trail. All the flowers were built and adhered with Glue Dots (perfect for fussy work!).

There you have it - a cute summer time page!

The supplies I used for this page:

- Rinea Emerald Starstruck Foiled Paper 

- Rinea Misfits Variety Pack (Crafters Pack 6x12)

- Rinea Glossy Sapphire Blue Foiled Paper
- Rinea Silver/Silver Starstruck Foiled Paper

- Blue, Green & White Cardstock

- Glue Dots

- adhesive tape

- patterned paper of choice

- glimmer spray (mine was Heidi Swapp)

- Rita Barakat Fairy Stamp

- Rita Barakat Stencil

- Nuvo Crystal Drops - White

- Nuvo Glitter Accents - Fresh Snowfall

I hope you will make time this fall to scrap your summer memories. 

See you soon!
