Tres Jolie Kit Club–April 2020 Mixed Media Kit–Spring Plank

| Corner Scraps

Hi, all! Welcome back to my blog! Today I am bringing you a spring themed plank I put together using items from my stash and the April Mixed Media Kit from the Tres Jolie Kit Club!

I just used a bit of old board for my background, added some gesso, then started layering! Check out the video for the whole process!

For the background color I used the two Magical Shakers from the kit like watercolors. On the chipboard diamonds and window I sprinkled them on then spritzed them with some water.

I mixed the glass glitter from the kit with some gel medium then just spread it on randomly to add some shine to the piece.

With the background done, it was just a matter of layering the other parts of my piece!

My final addition was a few of the pearls from the kit. I put them on 3” (76mm) pins and them stuck them in where I wanted them.

Tres Jolie Kit Club–April 2020 Mixed Media Kit–Spring Flower Pots

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog!

Today I have some spring flower pots I decorated for the Tres Jolie Kit Club using items from this month’s mixed media kit and multiple partial packs of flowers from my stash!

DSC_0033_FRAMED

Below is the video of what I did! This project was rather quick and simple, and in no time I had a lovely trio of flower pots to help bring in spring!

To coat my flower pots I mixed some texture paste with the gesso and texture powder from the kit. After that dried, I spritzed the pots with water, sprinkled some of the “Alpine Ice Rose” Magical Shakers on, and spritzed some water on again. When that dried, I sprayed the flower pots with ModPodge Acrylic Sealer to keep the Magical Shaker in place.

Even though the bling from the kit is self-adhesive, I added some extra FabriTac before wrapping the tops of the pots, just to be safe!

I filled the flower pots with some floral moss from Dollar Tree, and was able to finish off three partial packs of flowers and a package of leaves!

I hope this gave you some ideas of what can be done with this month’s kit! I spent $2 (+tax!) at the Dollar Tree for the 3-pack of pots and the bag of moss (and I still have lots of moss left!!), added items from this months kit, and cleared out some of my hoarded flowers to create this little spring décor piece!

Tres Jolie Kit Club–April 2020 Sketch Challenge–Scrapbooking Kit

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Today I am bringing you the project I made for this month’s sketch challenge for the Tres Jolie Kit Club, using the April scrapbooking kit!

DSC_0046_FRAMED

As you can see I didn’t make a layout! I was totally obsessed with the clock face and flowers of the sketch, and I really wanted to create something 3D from those elements.

Here is the sketch, and under that, you will find the tutorial video!

I used some Prima Texture Fantasy Paste on my chipboard gears, and the embossing powder from the kit on my clock face, which I also back with some of the patterned paper from the kit.

DSC_0047_FRAMED

On the flowers of the chipboard roses from the kit I used a combination of two embossing powders from my stash, and again used the embossing powder from the kit on the stems and leaves.

I also tucked in a few of the die cuts from the pack that came in the kit.

Inspiration can come from anywhere and can take you anywhere! For me I couldn’t quit focusing on the section around the photo on the sketch, and I let it take me down a non-layout road!

Tres Jolie Kit Club–April Mixed Media Kit–Easter Candlesticks

| Corner Scraps

Hi, all! Welcome back to my blog! For my first project this month for the Tres Jolie Kit Club I have made a set of Easter Candlesticks!
DSC_0020_FRAMED

On the candlesticks I sprinkled some of the Magical Shakers, sprayed them with some water, set them upside down, and let the color run how it wanted! I did the same process with the eggs, just not upside down! Check out the video to see all the details.

Video:

DSC_0024_FRAMED

I added some glitter from this months kit to the bottom of the eggs, set them in some moss, and added some pearls to accent!

DSC_0022_FRAMED DSC_0023_FRAMED

The gesso on the candlestick and eggs had some of the texture powder mixed in to give everything a not-quite-smooth surface!
