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

Tres Jolie Kit Club–February Mixed Media Kit–Shutter Stand

February 19, 2020February 18, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to my Blog!
Today I’m bringing you my third project using this months Tres Jolie Kit Club Mixed Media Kit, something I don’t have a name for, so I’m just going to call it a shutter stand.

This project took a bit more work than I had planned, but I love the results! Check out the video to see how it was all done!

Video:

That base may have taken more time than I had originally planned, but I am not sorry with how it came out! If I ever need to make a base like this again, I’ll be more prepared…mostly because it will not be the first attempt!! LOL!

After my base was put together, the rest of the project went together very quickly! It was just a matter of coating the chipboard in the gold wax and layering everything!

After all my layers I added some flowers, moss, and texture pebbles that I had left from previous Tres Jolie Kits, and the wicker hearts that came in this months kit!

I hope you enjoyed this project! I’ll see you again next month with projects from the March Mixed Media Kit!

February Mixed Media Kit:

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

Silhouette Design Store ID#303564 – Pillar Sign 3×4 by Lori Whitlock; My Minds Eye – Organic Glitter Papers; E6000; Art Glitter Glue; Prima Paper Texture Paste; Small Wooden Box; Amazing Cast Resin; Creative Embellishments Circle Vine Frame (x2); *Creative Embellishments Flourish Circle Frame; *Texture Pebbles; *Moss; *Prima Flowers (Item# 597429)

Tres Jolie Kit Club–February 2020 Mixed Media Kit-Heart Explosion Box!

February 12, 2020February 2, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog! For my second project this month for the Tres Jolie Kit Club I have a Heart Explosion Box, just in time for Valentine’s Day! I used the Creative Embellishments chipboard from the Cards, Tags, & More Kit with my mediums from the Mixed Media Kit! I just loved how the hearts already looked like they were floating away! But the same effect could easily be done with the “Follow Your Heart” chipboard in the Mixed Media Kit!

Everything here except the box and the sisal (and the glues!) came from a Tres Jolie Kit! Either this month or previous months!

Check out how I did it all in my video:

For the solid parts of the hearts I used some crackle paint and then the two Sparks from this months kit. On the outline, I used the Vintage Gold wax from this month’s kit!

I used a paintbrush to apply some Glossy Accents to the sisal and then sprinkled the glitter on! I didn’t shake off the extra until I thought all of the pieces were set and dry!

On the box I used the Sparks paints and the wax from this months kit!

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

Daler Rowney White Gesso, *Deco Art Crackle Paint White, Prima Heavy Gesso White, FabriTac, E6000, Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel, Ranger Glossy Accents, Sisal Fibers, Heart Box, *Darice Gold Glitter

Tres Jolie Kit Club–February Mixed Media Kit–Wicker Heart

February 5, 2020January 31, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all and welcome back to my blog! I’m here with my first February project for the Tres Jolie Kit Club; using the wicker heart, flowers and mediums that came in the kit, as well as items from my stash, I created a grunge-y décor piece!

Ready to see how I did it? Check out my video!

Video:

Now for some close up photos that really show the details!

Even though it’s a resin key, the paint and “rust” really give it an aged metal look!

Fortunately Prima paints are rather think and quick drying! That really helped them stay on top of the burlap!

I just love how the splattering came out! It might get messy, but the effect is absolutely worth it!

February Mixed Media Kit

In addition to items from the Mixed Media Kit I used (*Items from previous Tres Jolie kits):

Tres Jolie Kit Club–January Mood Board-Symphony of Love

January 30, 2020January 26, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog!

Today I am sharing with you a piece I created using the Tres Jolie Kit Club January Scrapbooking Kit, inspired by this months mood board! (See below!)

Symphony of Love

January Mood Board

Video:

In the above photos you can see where I added the “Daffodil” Shimmerz Creameez & “Milled Lavender” Distress Oxide Spray!

For the lattice behind the shutters I added some “Buttercup” Embossing Powder from my stash to one of the Creative Embellishment pieces found in this months kit! And the bird? One I had left from the December 2019 Scrapbooking Kit!

It doesn’t happen all the time, but sometimes I feel the need to add tons of flowers! Fortunately Kim makes sure there are flowers to spare in her kits, because two of the three additional flower packages I had saved from previous months! (In total I have five flower packs on here, two from this months kit, two from previous months, and one I actually bought myself!)

January Scrapbooking Kit:

In addition to items from the kit I used:

Items from previous Tres Jolie Kits: 49 & Market – Pale Lavender Garden Vine & Natural Blush Seaside Blooms; Prima Shabby Chic Treasures – Birds

Tres Jolie Kit Club–January Mixed Media Kit-Bees

January 15, 2020January 4, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to my Blog!!

My second project for this month for the Tres Jolie Kit Club focuses on up-cycling a wooden box, using one of the three stencils, two of the paints, the 49 & Market Vine, and some of the Prima Mélange Art Pebbles found in this months Mixed Media Kit!

Even though in the beginning I wasn’t completely sure if I’d use the ReneaBouquet Bees from my stash, they were the inspiration for the colors! I really just wanted everything but the flowers to have neutral coloring, so I used the “Ancient Coin” and “Steampunk Copper” Prima Paints from the kit on the box and rice paper (also from my stash) with the stencil.

I painted the top “rim” of the box with the “Ancient Coin” and used the “Steampunk Copper” on the outside and inside edges, as well as creating a texture paste of the paints for the stenciling!

Video:

I added some of the texture paste stenciling to the outside of the box for texture then painted it with the “Steampunk Copper.”

Here are some close-ups of each of the four compartments so can get a good look at the details!

This little box went together quickly, and I was able to put it all together in a single day! Because Prima paints dry so quickly I was able to time their dry time when I went and had some lunch, and the texture paste I just had to wait for it to be “dry enough.”

Tres Jolie Kit Club-December Mixed Media-Dressform

December 26, 2019December 26, 2019 | Corner Scraps

Hey, All! Welcome back to my Blog!

For my third project using the December Mixed Media Kit, I altered used some paper from my stash with the mediums and drywall tapes from the kit to create a décor dressform! (Dressform Cut File from svgcuts.com)

Can you believe this wasn’t my original plan? I had thought to alter a pencil box to make it look like a treasure chest! Things didn’t go according to plan, and I had to adjust! You can see the transformation in my YouTube video!

Video:

Even though I hadn’t planned on making flowers, I am in love with all the texture the drywall tapes impart! (All of the glue and gel hadn’t had time to dry fully & become transparent yet when I had to take the photos!)

My main flower is actually made from the Tim Holtz “Jumbo Tattered Pinecone” Bigz Die and the rest of the flowers came from the Time Holtz “Tattered Florals” Bigz Die.

In this picture of the back you can really see the beautiful lace I used as, more or less, the bodice of the “dress.” I am so glad I hoarded that lace for so long!

In addition to the December Mixed Media Kit I used (contains Amazon Affiliate links, not associated with Tres Jolie, at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your support!):

Tres Jolie Kit Club-December Mixed Media Kit-Top Hat

December 21, 2019December 19, 2019 | Corner Scraps

Welcome back to the Tres Jolie Kit Club Blog! Although it wasn’t intentional, I completed four projects this month! The rice paper I used here was misplaced at the beginning of the month, and was put away in the wrong spot! I think it statically adhered to the plastic of the Cards, Tags, and More Kit’s patterned paper. That being said, once I realized it was “missing,” I already had three projects completed, but I still had this rice paper, so I created a winter top hat!

This little hat stands approximately 3-3/4” tall and is made sturdy using some chicken wire “ribbon.” That’s the only way I know how to describe the wire!

On the front I used some ReneaBouquet’s Beautiful Board Snowflakes from my stash, sprayed with the two Lindy’s Gang Moon Shadow Mists from the kit, and attached them with some heavy gel medium!

Video:

Here you can see where I used some of the “Crazing” medium from the Tim Holtz collage medium set in this months kit on the outside of the hat, which I then sprayed with the “Gossamer Gold” Moon Shadow Mist!

Two other touches for this piece were two small cabochons for the “buttons” on the hat and some glitter ribbon around the base!

In addition to items from the December Mixed Media Kit (in the following photo), I used:

Silhouette Design Store “Mourner’s 3D Top Hat” (ID #67665) Assembly Instructions for “Mourner’s 3D Top Hat”

Silhouette Cameo 3, Nicapa Mat, Premium Blade, ReneaBouquets Beautiful Board Snowflakes, AC Glitter Ribbon, FabriTac, JudiKins Diamond Glaze, Liquitex Super Heavy Gloss Gel, Art Glitter Glue, Spellbinder Tool n One, BEST 1/4” double sided tape, Tim Holtz Mini Snips, and Ranger Brayer
