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–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!

Tres Jolie Kit Club–March Mixed Media Kit-Paddle

March 6, 2020March 4, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, Everyone! Welcome back to my blog!

For my first project this month for the Tres Jolie Kit Club, I am sharing with you what I made using the unfinished paddle from this months kit!

As you can see, I also used the mediums, transparency, butterflies, and one of the frames from the kit to put my board together.
Check out how I did it with this video!

Video:

I mixed some of the 13@rts Olive Green paint with the 13@rts Gel Medium, both from the kit, and stenciled the mixture on in a few spots.

The sketched leaves are from the Silhouette store, but you don’t need this specific file to recreate the look! You could hand-draw your own design, use stamps, or fussy cut a nice patterned paper!

I used a thick layer of the Gel Medium on the frame so it would hold the frame and the stems down. For the leaves that didn’t get caught under the frame, I went back and used some Art Glitter Glue to attach them. I also used little dabs of the Gel Medium to hold on the butterflies!

I absolutely love how my paddle came out! And it wasn’t overly complicated! I spent more time waiting for things to dry than I did putting together!

I hope you enjoyed this project and that it gave you some ideas of what can be done with this months mixed media kit! Make sure you subscribe to our blog and YouTube Channel so you can always be kept up-to-date on kit releases and sample projects!

March Mixed Media Kit:

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

Prima White Heavy Gesso; Art Glitter Glue; *Prima Stencil Item# 564278; 12×12 Watercolor Paper; Silhouette Studio; Silhouette Cameo 3; Silhouette Pen Holder; UniBall Signo Micro 207; Silhouette Design Store ID# 67185

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!)
