Tres Jolie Kit Club-iNSD 2020 Challenge-Masculine Layout

May 12, 2020May 11, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog! Here are some more photos and a video of the project I did for Rae’s “Masculine Layout” challenge, sponsored by the Tres Jolie Kit Club, for International Scrapbooking Day (iNSD)!

To recap, the challenge was to create a masculine layout that included stenciling and chipboard, plus a bonus for using flowers! I used four stencils, I have a piece of chipboard from the May scrapbooking kit and some Grungeboard from my stash, and I got the flowers on…something that isn’t always easy with a “masculine” layout! Plus, and I like to think my subconscious was helping me out here, my layout fits this months sketch challenge (with the sketch rotated 180°, shown below).

Original Sketch	Rotated Sketch

Check out my video to see what I did!


I layered my stenciling on top of each other before topping with my Grungeboard chevrons!	With all the stenciling, there was already so much going on that I opted to keep it relatively simple around the photo.

I created the colors I wanted for both of the texture pastes using the paints from the Mixed Media kit & items from my stash (see video for full details!)	The chevrons were painted with just simple black gesso (from the Mixed Media kit! to keep them nice and matte!

Getting flowers on a masculine layout isn’t always easy, but I dug into my stash and pulled out pack of neutral flowers.	I don’t know how long I’ve owned those Tim Holtz Framed Words, but I found a place for “Adventure” with this layout!

I hope that you were able to join us over at Tres Jolie for the iNSD challenges! I also hope that this layout gave you an idea of what can be done with items from the kits this month, and with the sketch!

iNSD 2020 – Tres Jolie Kit Club–BINGO!

May 4, 2020May 4, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hi, all! Welcome back to my blog! I hope you were able to join us over at the Tres Jolie Kit Club Café and enjoyed the challenges offered!

I created a BINGO challenge, and am now sharing the details of that challenge here on my personal blog! (I didn’t want to cause “entry” confusion during the challenge!)

BINGO! Challenge Guidelines & my examples:

Now, to the requirement! It’s rather simple, all you need to do is have all five (5) elements of the one (1) row OR one (1) column OR one (1) diagonal that you choose included on your project!

You are not limited to only those five (5) elements, but all five (5) must be included!

I have put together a couple of examples for you to view; a layout, a mini-journal/notebook, and a mixed media canvas. You do not have to create any specific project type! These are just some examples of what can be done!

First, the layout:


Sample layout (featuring my youngest!)	The column I picked for my layout!

I created a process video to accompany the photos for an overview of my creative process!


You can see some of the chipboard pieces!	I used embossing powder on the star frame!

My torn paper!	Some more chipboard!

The upper left corner with the stamping!	A close up of the stenciling!

I hope this project gave you some ideas! Now on to the next example, a Mini-Journal/Notebook!


My mini-journal/notebook!	The row I picked for the mini-journal/notebook!

The process video for the mini-journal/notebook!

There are flowers on the cover and on the patterned papers, the staples and eyelet are metal, there are three half-back beads on the cover, as well as a chipboard frame around “Notes,” and the mini-paper clips are wooden!

My third example is a mixed media project featuring a photo of my son’s friend! (With her permission, of course!)


My mixed media canvas!	The diagonal I used on the canvas!

The process video for my mixed media project:


Layers don’t only have to be paper! Here I have the rice paper, chipboard, and flowers!	The flowers on the background are the rice paper from this month’s Cards, Tags, and More Kit!

The fine black text is from the stamp that came in the May Cards, Tags, and More Kit!	I added some glass beads randomly along the chipboard pieces as a final touch!

Tres Jolie Kit Club–February Sketch Inspiration

February 27, 2020February 27, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hi All! I’m back with one last project this month for the Tres Jolie Kit Club! A layout of me using the sketch from this month’s challenge as inspiration!

Here I am, a little four year old just hanging around!

The sketch for this months challenge. Watch the following video to see how I created my layout!

Video:

After coating the papers in gesso, I stamped, stenciled, and inked before adding the embellishments and photo.

My final touch was to cover the photo then use a paintbrush to splatter and drop some “Black Soot” Distress paint on the whole project.

In addition to items from the kit (*From previous Tres Jolie Kits), I also used:

Prima 2” Silicone Brush; Scotch Advanced Tape Glider; Distress Oxide Spray – Wild Honey; Silhouette Design Store ID# 243415 “Lace Doily” by Paige Taylor Evans (P.T.E); Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; Tim Holtz Mini Snips; Tim Holtz Edge Distresser; Liquitex Clear Gesso; FabriTac; StazOn Jet Black; Distress Paint Black Soot; 13@rts Gel Medium; Prima Paper Texture Paste; *Prima Water Brush; Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous “Mixed Media” CMS125; 2mm Self Adhesive Foam; Fabrika Decoru Stencils FDTR 170 & 190
