Tres Jolie Kit Club-Boxes & Tags-December 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit

Hey, all! Wow, Christmas is just two days away and soon 2022 will be here!

For my third, Cards, Tags, & More Kit project this month, I used a bunch of old cardstock from my stash, some cut files, and some dies to get some small boxes, tags, and rosettes made up! Need to add some more tags to gifts? Or get some last minute stocking stuffers taken care of? Then take a peek at these! (Or use them to get a head-start on next year! Because that’s what I say I’ll do every year and never do—but it sounds good! LOL)

FRAMED-20211117_164653

Check out my video to see a way to use up smaller pieces of paper you may have left over for some tags, or make yourself a small box or two if you need one in the next couple of days!


Video:


Boxes:

FRAMED-20211117_165019 FRAMED-20211117_164937

These first two boxes are both Snapdragon Snippet Designs that I found on the Silhouette Store. The one on the left is a 10-sided box, not too difficult to put together, but Snapdragon Snippets has “extra” flaps to reinforce the edges—which makes it much sturdier! The one with drawers is a little more time consuming to put together, but it isn’t overly difficult, and I think it would be cute for candy or small items! (Links to directions with the cut files.)

FRAMED-20211117_164901

This box is also from the Silhouette Store, by Paper Closet Designs. I didn’t look to see if there were directions anywhere since it is a rather straight forward cut and quick to put together. If you wanted to gift a crafter some glue, this box is just big enough for an 8oz bottle of FabriTac!

FRAMED-20211117_164959 FRAMED-20211117_164950

These last two boxes are probably the simplest of them all! The pill box on the left is the back cover of the paper pack! It has a template on it which you can use to make more pill boxes or, like I did, just turn that template into the pill box! It depends on how many you want or need! The box on the right is from a Sizzix die – I don’t know what the name is, or if it has one, it came in the box with my Big Shot Plus!


Toppers & Tags:

FRAMED-20211117_165223

Rosettes make cute gift toppers; or pop them on the end of a tag! I just used my Tim Holtz Mini Paper Rosette’s die and cranked these out! Using hot glue to hold them together means there is no dry time and they are good to go quicker!

FRAMED-20211117_165133

These tags were definitely the quickest of everything I made for this week! I didn’t measure, I just grabbed the scraps of cardstock and patterned paper and eyeballed them together. I used my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper for my angled cuts, but scissors would work just the same!


FRAMED-20211117_164724

Thank you for joining me here in my corner! I hope you enjoyed these ideas and they gave you some ideas of what you can do – some rather quickly – using this month’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit!

Have a happy holiday season and a safe & happy New Year!

Tres Jolie Kit Club-Tags-November 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

Today I’m bringing you my first project—some Autumn Tags–for November using the Cards, Tags, & More Kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club. This month’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit is filled with Tres Jolie Chipboard and Prima’s “Hello Pink Autumn,” a wonderful combination to work with!

FRAMED-20211024_120939

The tags are from Tres Jolie, and make a wonderful, sturdy base to build on! Check out my video to see how I put this project together!


Video:


Below you will find two photos of each tag—one of the tag as a whole, and one close-up of the cluster.

FRAMED-20211030_093601 FRAMED-20211030_093621

Each tag has some base similarities – I used some Lindy’s Gang embossing powder on the chipboard shapes and along the edges of the chipboard tags, I used different paper patterns to “break up” the background of the tag, and I added some plain, dark brown sewing machine thread to give a bit of extra texture.

FRAMED-20211030_093656 FRAMED-20211030_093713

Each tag also only has one “set” of matching flowers from the flower pack. With all the other patterns and pieces on the tags I wanted the flowers to stand out and not just become more of the background.

FRAMED-20211030_093800 FRAMED-20211030_093810

These tags went together rather quickly with the help of my hot glue gun! I just piled on some glue and added my pieces! Hot glue is also great for helping to add shape to flat pieces! After shaping, I just fill the curves with some hot glue to keep my curves in place.

In addition to the November Cards, Tags, & More Kit (*from previous Tres Jolie Kits), I used:

Tres Jolie Kit Club-Paperclay & a Tag Booklet-Aug. 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

This week I’m bringing you a two part project using the August 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club – part one: paperclay + moulds + paper; part two: tag booklet!

FRAMED-20210721_121034

As I was sitting and looking at the cut-apart sheet from the kit, I couldn’t help but wonder if I could make the wreaths more dimensional. Then it dawned on me – they looked like the would fit in the Stamperia Mould from the July 2021 Mixed Media Kit! Check out my video to see how I used the papers with some different moulds and how I put the quick tag booklet together!


Video:


Now for a few photos. First up, the paperclay pieces I created:

FRAMED-20210721_121457

FRAMED-20210721_121320

The photo on the left shows two wreaths I created using the July Stamperia Mould and papers from this month’s Cards, Tags, and More Kit. The photo on the right shows all the pieces I made using various moulds from my stash!

Next up, the quick little tag booklet:

FRAMED-20210721_120919

FRAMED-20210721_121001

The round wreath was just the right size to add to the front of my tag booklet, and with just a few small embellishments it was all done! Look below for a photo series of making the pockets, plus a link to the original post I got the folding idea from! (*Note: Tag Size: 2-3/8”x3-3/8”)

20210720_111627 20210720_111654
The dashed lines are the folds. The side that is the “back” of the folds is also the side that will show on the front pockets.
20210720_111848 20210720_111825
Add a thin line of clue for to make the

slide-through pocket.

Fold your corners in and add a little glue to

tack them in place.

20210720_111953 20210720_112114
Glue lines if the larger side will be your top

piece.

Glue lines if the smaller side will be your top

piece.

August 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit

In addition to items from this month’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit (*from previous Tres Jolie Kits), I used:

*Stamperia Frames Maximould; *Little Birdie “Aqua Sheen” Metallic Wax; Prima/Finnabair Moulds: “Skull & Bones,” “Birds & Bats,” “Nocturnal Elements,” & *“Fairy Garden;” Creative Paperclay; LineCo PVA Glue & Linen Hinging Tape (1.25”); Art Glitter Glue; Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel; X-Acto Knife; We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile & Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper; EK Tools Score Board; Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; sheer ribbon; *Lace

Tres Jolie Kit Club-Tags-August 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit (+a few staple products!)

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner! I hope your August is starting out well and you’ve had some craft-tastic time’s so far!

I like to make my first project of the month a “kit only” project as much as possible, and this one is no different! I created these tags using a couple of basic (staple) items from my stash and the rest is all from the August Cards, Tags, & More Kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club!

FRAMED-20210717_181424

I used some corrugated cardboard for one of my tags, and some chipboard for the other. You can use a variety of items from the home to make your tag bases, such as cereal boxes and Styrofoam trays. (Just remember, Styrofoam isn’t going to be able to handle heat!) Check out my video to see how I put these tags together!


Video:


Now for a few close-ups:

FRAMED-20210717_181531

FRAMED-20210717_181606

Here you can see those beautiful pieces of Tres Jolie Chipboard that came in the kit this month! I just grabbed up my Ranger Gold Embossing Powder and Simon Says Stamp Embossing Ink to give them a little shine! I think a nice gold embossing powder is a good staple item to have in your stash, metallics go with all colors and styles and are great at adding a little extra “pop”! You can also see my white gesso splatters sprinkled about, adding a bit more of that shabby feel to these tags.

FRAMED-20210717_181450

FRAMED-20210717_181519

FRAMED-20210717_181554

In the photos above you can see some more details. I used quite a few of my fussy cut pieces to create my clusters, and even cut apart one of the Prima stems to add some extra texture to my tags. It took me a long time to be able to cut apart pre-packaged embellishments, but now that I have become more comfortable with it, I have found it has led to more creativity because I look at items with a “how can I use this” mentality instead of a “how is this supposed to be used” one!

I have a $5 glue gun that has been working well for me for years now. I like to use a low-heat gun most of the time because it allows me to touch the items I’m working with (almost always paper!) and shape it! And that’s what I did for my butterflies and flowers—I shaped them around globs of hot glue!

FRAMED-20210717_181508

FRAMED-20210717_181545

Thank you for joining us here at Tres Jolie, I hope these tags inspired you and gave you some ideas of what you can do with the items found in this month’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit! I’ll see you again next Thursday!

Tres Jolie Kit Club-June 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit-G45 ATC Tag Album

Hey, all! Welcome back to my little corner! Today I’m bringing you my first project for the Tres Jolie Kit Club using the June Cards, Tags, & More Kit!

This project is a “kit only” project, using the Graphic 45 ATC Tag Album, Stamperia Papers, and one of the resin clocks from this month’s kit.

20210504_095922-FRAMED


Video:


This project is rather easy-peasy! For all the pages and the cover, I just cut the paper to size and glued it down. I created a custom-fit piece for the spine, using my Silhouette Cameo to cut the bracket shape in the piece of paper I was using.


Here are the measurements I used and the JPEG or, if you choose, the SVG for the tag and spine.

Measurements I used for the Stamperia paper.

A few close-ups:

20210504_095912-FRAMED

I really wanted to keep the cover simple so the album could be carried around easy while traveling, so I made sure my cut-out pieces were glued down good and I used some Liquitex Super Heavy Gel to make sure that resin clock was attached nicely!

20210504_100043-FRAMED

I cut the lined sheet of paper from the Stamperia pack in half and turned it into a couple of fold-out pages for taking notes.

20210504_100027-FRAMED

For some of my pages I did some paper piecing to create the background!

20210504_100013-FRAMED

I had originally thought I might cover the tags with the Stamperia paper as well, but then I decided to leave them blank for notes and/or photos.

20210504_100109-FRAMED

I picked one of the phrases from the cut apart sheet to put in the bracket. You could also make a custom label describing what the theme of your album is!

20210504_095944-FRAMED

This Graphic 45 ATC-Tag Album is so adorable and just the right size to make a little memory book; paired with the Sir Vagabond Papers from Stamperia, and you have a handy place to record a little vacay!

Thank you for joining us here at Tres Jolie, I hope you enjoyed this project and it gave you some inspiration to create your own little album!

June 2021, Tres Jolie Kit Club, Cards, Tags, & More Kit:

Adhesives used: Art Glitter Glue & Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel

Your eyes are a reflection of your spirit-MTW May 2021 Mini

Hey, all! Today I have the tag I made for the More Than Words May 2021 Mini Challenge, “Eyes.” As you can see in the photos, lighting can change how this project looks!

The word “eyes” has to appear on the project, so I went looking for quotes that could inspire me. It just so happened that I had my (new) Finnabair Moulds sitting out at the same time. By my bead drawer. And a plan started to formulate!

20210525_083356-wm 20210525_083647-wm

Process video:


May Mini EYES


You will see how lighting and flash vs no-flash change the appearance of the mediums, especially with the shine from the paints!

20210525_083707-wm

I started with a Julie Nutting tag. Not for the pattern, but because I like the size and the weight of it.

20210525_083601-wm

I used a Heidi Swapp stencil, some random filigree, and Ingvild Bolme “Nail Heads” to build my background.

20210525_083418-wm

I added some paper straws, a metal butterfly, and a key under my skull.

20210525_083616-wm

Another “Nail Head” in one eye and a rose in the other.

20210525_083548-wm 20210525_083627-wm

Another comparison of how lighting (or a flash) can change the appearance.

20210525_083720-wm

I had so much fun with this project! I love getting out my paints and pastes and getting messy! I hope you enjoyed this tag as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Stay Crafty, Friends

Tres Jolie Kit Club-September Mood Board-Loaded Envelope

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

Today I’m bringing you a Loaded Envelope I made using the Tres Jolie Kit Club September scrapbooking kit & moodboard! I just love the “Industrial Romance” papers from ScrapBoys in this month’s kit. They are the perfect combination of steampunk & flowers, and just great to look at and play with!

DSC_0058-FRAMED

I used the solid cardstock (from my stash) to build the envelope, then used the papers from the kit on the envelope, tags, and wands. Check out the video below where I describe the completed envelope. Below the video you will find the September Moodboard and some more photos!

DSC_0055-FRAMED

Here is my envelope with three pockets. The final size is 9in x 6in (after all the photos I have included a sketch of the measurements), with the second pocket 4 1/2in and the third pocket 3in. The sketch is the measurements for the basic construction, the only thing no included in the sketch is the 9in x 6in piece of cardstock I used as the top of the back pocket; the one folded down with the zipper.

DSC_0052-53-FRAMED

This is the front and back of the shaker wand I created using a ReneaBouquets Small Shaker Box. I used the professor from the Tim Holtz “The Professor” stamp set (from my stash) on the back piece of acetate and one of the small wings from the Mechanicals found in this month’s kit as the mustache, then back that with a square of paper from the ScrapBoys stack in the kit. The large key in the shaker is from this month’s kit, but all the other parts are from my stash. For the back, I added Tim Holtz’s “Voltage” die, which is painted using Prima’s “Steampunk Copper” Paint and spray with the Lindy’s Gang from the kit. And all of the copper “welding”? It’s Tulip Fabric Paint – Beads In A Bottle – “Copper”!

DSC_0049-FRAMED DSC_0050-FRAMED

For the Hummingbird Wand, I used a cut file from the Silhouette Store, a Tim Holtz Rosette, some pieces from the cut apart sheet, and a ReneaBouquets Hummingbird. For the lacy wand, I just grabbed up some lace from my stash and added another Tim Holtz Rosette and a cut apart pieces as well.


DSC_0054-FRAMED

And finally here are the tags and little note card I made to go in the pockets! I just eye-balled the sizes based on the paper I was working with!
