Tres Jolie Kit Club–Anything Book–October 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

For my final Tres Jolie Kit Club project of October, I’m bringing you an “Anything Book.” I call it an anything book because you could easily use it as a mini-album, mini art journal, mini notebook, etc. Personally, I really wanted a mini art journal with pockets and flip-outs.

FRAMED-20210919_173350

My inspiration for this project came from Pinkstrawberryz “No Binding Easy Mini Album.” It was just one of those “You might like” recommendations that randomly popped up on YouTube, so I decided to have a look! As soon as I watched the video I had ideas brewing! Check out my video to see how I put my Anything Book together. (Below the video you will find photos of the inside and the measurements for my pages.)

Video:

Here is a look at some of the pages I started preparing:

FRAMED-20211003_110402 FRAMED-20211003_110424

After my book was together I used clear and white gessoes to prepare the pages. With my gesso dry, I was then able to start laying down mediums to prepare working backgrounds. I just grabbed up various paints and started laying them down! To make the book cover, I grabbed up some burlap trim, cut it to length, and stitched it in place during assembly.

FRAMED-20211003_110443 FRAMED-20211003_110455

Some areas have acrylic paint and some have watercolors. I started drawing on a couple of the pages—flowers in some places, and this face above. I also grabbed a few pens and outlined the flowers from the paper pack.

FRAMED-20211003_110513 FRAMED-20211003_110527

I didn’t always use a brush with my paints, some times I just used a palette knife to scrape it on! I also grabbed up some of my Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks and added some…well…scribbles! I have a short flip-though of my mini art journal (as far as it had been “finished” at the time of filming!) over on my Instagram post for this project.

Measurements (in order of page in book):

In my video, I talk about the process of making the cover using some Amazing Cast Resin and the embossing folder!FRAMED-20211003_110345

Tres Jolie Kit Club–“Envelope Card” & Box-October 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

This week for the Tres Jolie Kit Club I am bringing you an “Envelope Card” using a Lori Whitlock cut file and a box to package it in—a me cut file (image & a link to my personal Dropbox below)! Lori Whitlock’s original “Envelope Card” is made to fold over, but I wanted to add some of the 49 & Market flowers so I added in a bottom and created the box to hold it in.

FRAMED-20210919_173312

I used the embossing folder on the back, kit papers and flowers, and some of the buttons for accent flower centers. Check out my video to see how I put it all together!

Video:

A JPEG of my box creation and the links to my personal Dropbox: Silhouette Studio (studio3) File; SVG File; JPEG (All files for personal use only). I added a lid with and without a window cut out.

5and1halfx4and1half-ish-Box

I used the embossing folder from the kit on the back panel of the envelope–after I had glued in the liner piece and adding some embossing ink to the folder. When it came out of my Sizzix I added my embossing powder and heated it up!

FRAMED-20210919_174102 FRAMED-20210919_174123

I used gold embossing powder on a few of the Tres Jolie Chipboard buttons and added a few spots in the centers of the other flowers.

Instead of using the sentiment that came with the Lori Whitlock file I trimmed down one from the paper pack to fit and added it on.

Tres Jolie Kit Club–October 2021 Moodboard–Texture ATCs!

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner! I’m here today with my project for this month’s Tres Jolie Kit Club moodboard challenge—some ATCs that were inspired by all the yummy textures found on the moodboard! I used items from the October Cards, Tags, & More Kit, Mixed Media Kit, and lots of goodies from previous kits!

FRAMED-20211012_113258

I have some weaving on a couple of the ATCs, some lines inspired by the lines in the sand, and some sisal inspired by the wool! Check out my video to see how I put everything together and keep scrolling down to check out the moodboard, photos of each ATC, and a product list!

Video:

October 2021 Moodboard:

Moodboard-Oct21

Now for some close-ups to show all those textures!

FRAMED-20211012_094319

I didn’t have any plan going into this project, I just knew I wanted to really get some textures on my ATCs! The background of this ATC was created using some “White Sand” Finnabair Texture Paste and a texture tool by Making Memories that I’ve had for Y-E-A-R-S!!

FRAMED-20211012_094336

Here is one of the ATCS that has some weaving for the background and some sisal (in place of wool)! I just used my Lindy’s spray to turn the natural sisal into pink sisal!

FRAMED-20211012_094423

On all the ATCs I added some machine and hand stitching, used a black Stabilo to give some depth to the different layers, and added a Tres Jolie Chipboard button from the Cards, Tags, & More Kit—topped with Finnabair Metallic Flakes—for some shine.

FRAMED-20211012_094355

ATCs don’t have to remain vertical, and I liked a horizontal orientation for this ATC better! This was the ATC I completed in the video, so it had more dry time, which really makes it look like those Art Stones are just sitting on the card!

FRAMED-20211012_094440

I really love this palmistry hand from the Tim Holtz ephemera pack here! The sisal on this ATC was sprayed with the green Lindy’s before being tucked in, and, like all the others I have my stitching, Stabilo, art stones, and button added on.

FRAMED-20211012_094246

Thank you for joining me here in my corner! I hope you enjoyed these ATCs and they gave you some ideas how to use this month’s moodboard and what you can make using items found in the Cards, Tags, & More and Mixed Media Kits.

Tres Jolie Kit Club–Mini Flip Album-October Cards, Tags, & More Kit

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner! For my first Tres Jolie Kit Club project of October I’m bringing you a Mini Flip Album I made using mostly only the kit. I have a few staple (white cardstock, glue, ribbon) and reusable (tools) items, but, for the most part, I did stick to the kit.

FRAMED-20210919_173210

With just four (I think only four!) sheets of white cardstock & a bit of ribbon from my stash, plus the Cards, Tags, & More Kit, I created this Mini Flip Album! Check out my video to see how I did it. Plus, under the video you’ll find the measurements for the cardstock and some close-up photos!

Video:

Measurements:

20210911_105441

As you can see, I have x2 on each set, because I made two of each size. The dashed lines are for scoring, and I have the measurement for how far from the left edge I went in for the score line.

Now, for the close-ups:

FRAMED-20210919_173740 FRAMED-20210919_173758

On the inside cover I have a flip-out with a narrow pocket and a pocket with a thumb-slot on the facing page (pages 1-2). The next two pages have a “belly band” (which slipped when I was sewing it, so it’s crooked!) and a pocket (pages 3-4).

FRAMED-20210919_173811 FRAMED-20210919_173826

The next set of pages has a pocket and a “belly-band” (pages 5-6) followed by a page with a “belly-band” under a flip out and a large flip up page (pages 7-8).

FRAMED-20210919_173841 FRAMED-20210919_173859

This next page I left blank for notes, photos, or memorabilia, and a pocket on the next page (pages 9-10). On the final two pages I have “belly-bands” on each of them (pages 11-12).

FRAMED-20210919_173920 FRAMED-20210919_173720

Here are photos of the back and front cover. I left the chipboard natural because I really liked how it went with the muted tones of the papers. Finally, I have a shot of the album opened up, where you can see a couple of those flip-out pages.
