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

April 24, 2020April 22, 2020 | 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!

Video:

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.

April Mixed Media Kit

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

Scrap Lumber, FabriTac, JudiKins Diamond Glaze, *13@rts Gel Medium, *13@rts Modeling Paste, *Prima Waterbrush, Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel, *Lace, *Texture Pebbles, AB Studio “I Love You,” Krylon Workable Fixatif, Ranger Brayer, Art Anthology 6×9 “Diamond Grunge” Stencil, Distress Oxide Spray “Twisted Citron,” Lindy’s Gang Flat Magical “Aloha Avocado,” Prima Babs (Resin Face) Item# 583255, Creative Embellishments: *Arched Window Set of 2, Leafy Vine Frame, Flourish 15, and Distressed Harlequin Pieces

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

April 14, 2020April 13, 2020 | 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!

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!

Video:

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!

April Mixed Media Kit

In addition to items from the kit (*Items from previous Tres Jolie kits), I used:

ModPodge Gloss Acrylic Sealer; FabriTac, Clay Pots; Floral Garden “Floral Moss”; *13@rts Gel Medium; *KaiserCraft Paper Blooms “Hot Pink”; *Prima Flowers Sunrise Sunset Collection Item# 565190; *Prima Flowers Item# 632564; *Prima Flowers North Pole Item# 590680

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

April 8, 2020April 7, 2020 | 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!

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!

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.

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!

April 2020 Scrapbooking Kit:

In addition to items from the kit (*From previous Tres Jolie kits; **From the April 2020 Mixed Media Kit), I used:

Prima Texture Fantasy Paste (Taupe Rose, Fire Orange, Blue Green), *Prima Metallique Paint “Ancient Coin,” **13@rts White Gesso, Ranger Embossing Powder “Orange Blossom,” Lindy’s Gang Embossing Powder “Cosmic Pink Blue,” Ranger Emboss It Pen, Creative Embellishments “Large Gear Frames” (x2) and “Steampunk Clock Face 5”, Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Ink, Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel, JudiKins Diamond Glaze, E6000, Thread Locker Blue 242, Bulldog Hardware: Machine Screw Value Kit (MA-519), Fender Washers WA-567 & WA-569

Tres Jolie Kit Club–March Mixed Media Kit–Birdhouse

March 27, 2020March 26, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog! Today I’ll be sharing a Spring Birdhouse I created for the Tres Jolie Kit Club using items from this month’s mixed media kit along with items from my stash!

I created the birdhouse with various brown and tan cardstock sheets and some patterned papers from Friends and Craft O’Clock using Silhouette Store ID# 271046 – “Birdhouse 3D Gable Box” by Snapdragon Snippets (Snapdragon Snippets Assembly Instructions)

Video:

I used the larger circle from this month’s kit on the “entrance” of the birdhouse, then used the last of the transparency and flowers from my stash to fill it in! The stick is one from my yard, the brick chipboard is from the kit, and painted with a single layer of the Cafe Au Lait paint. I added some of the metal butterflies to finish things off!

This photo of the roof shows the watered-down paints that I used to add some extra color to the birdhouse!

Here at the back of the birdhouse, I arranged some of the chipboard to cover the rear hole from the stick!

More bricks and butterflies on the front!

I painted the back of the transparency pieces with the Olive Green paint before using gel medium to hold it in place!

March Mixed Media Kit

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

Scotch Advanced Tape Glider; BEST Double-Sided Tape 1/4” & 1/8”; Art Glitter Glue; FabriTac; Spellbinder Tool n One; Silhouette Store ID# 271046 – “Birdhouse 3D Gable Box” by Snapdragon Snippets (Snapdragon Snippets Assembly Instructions); *Friends & Craft O’Clock “Vintage Bison”; *Bazzill “Dark Kraft” Cardstock (x4); Silhouette Cameo 3; Niacapa Cutting Mat; Silhouette Premium Blade; Stick from outside; Krylon Workable Fixatif; Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.

Note: All other cardstock was unmarked & I’ve had it so long I can no longer recall manufacturer or how I acquired it! I used 2 sheets of the dark brown and 2 sheets of the light tan. (At least I’m fairly certain, it may have been 3 sheets of the dark brown.)

Tres Jolie Kit Club–March 2020 Moodboard– “Emerald Queen” Junk Journal

March 26, 2020March 24, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my blog!

Today I have an example project, a junk journal, for this months moodboard challenge for the Tres Jolie Kit Club!

I was in love with the “Emerald Queen” line by AB Studio that came in this months scrapbooking kit as soon as I saw the photos! And when I saw the books on the moodboard, I knew I’d be making a junk journal! And it was serendipitous that the green fabric image (above the clocks) fit with some sari silk I had already prepared for use! Below the moodboard image I have two video links, one is a flip-through of the completed journal and the other is a process video.

March 2020 Moodboard

“Emerald Queen” Junk Journal Flip-through

“Emerald Queen” Junk Journal Process

On the spine I let some of the fibers from The Paper Studio peek through the zipper, then added a Prima Vintage Trinket! I added some “Sage” Embossing Powder by Ranger to the chipboard from the kit and added it to the layers on my cover.

Here you can see the many various laces I used along the edges of the pages!

I layered some scraps of fabric, lace, and a zipper from an old jacket with items from this months kit on the cover, “holding” them in place with clips from my stash!

The band I used to hold the junk journal closed is a headband! I found packages of them on clearance one time and it suddenly dawned on me that they would be great for junk journals!

March 2020 Scrapbooking Kit

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

Heat n Bond Lite Iron-On Adhesive; Pellon 70 Peltex (Midweight – Heavyweight Fabric Stabilizer); Sari Silk; Scrap fabrics; Various Scrap Laces (*Some from previous Tres Jolie Kits); The Paper Studio Ivory Crochet Lace; 2” Book Binding Tape; 1” BEST Double Sided Tape; We R Memory Keepers 3 Way Corner Punch; LineCo PVA; FabriTac; Spellbinders Tool n One; LineCo Linen Hinging Tape 1.25”; Ranger “Sage” Embossing Powder; Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Ink; *Small Doilies; Tim Holtz Index Clips; Binder Clip; We R Memory Keepers Crop A Dile Corner Chomper; E6000; The Paper Studio Fibers; *Prima Vintage Trinkets

Tres Jolie Kit Club–March Mixed Media Kit-Canvas

March 17, 2020March 13, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to my blog! For my second project this month using items from the March Mixed Media Kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club, I created a grung-y canvas using items from the kit on a canvas I had previously purchased at Dollar Tree!

This canvas was quick and easy! I had it together in a day (the paint dried rather quickly!) and just set it aside to let the glues and 13@rts Gel Medium from the kit dry! See how I put it all together here!

Video:

With just a few items from my stash, I created a little décor piece in one day! (And I never finish a project in one day!!)

After I coated the canvas in black gesso, I layered some torn pages from an old book and a piece of patterned paper on the canvas then used a palette knife to create the broad strokes of paint. Without adding gesso first, I put a single layer of the same paint on the brick chipboard from the kit.

After the paint dried I added my transparency piece using the gel medium from the kit.

Still using the gel medium, I put my flower clusters together, added my butterflies, and fussy cut leaves from parts of the transparency to add to my clusters.

March Mixed Media Kit:

In addition to the March Mixed Media Kit (*From previous Tres Jolie Kits), I used:

Book sheets from Memoires Parisiennes Etsy Shop; *Friends & Craft o’Clock – Vintage Bison – #1; Liquitex Clear Gesso; Liquitex Black Gesso; ReneaBouquets Mini Gold Roses; Canvas from Dollar Tree; FabriTac
