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

| Corner Scraps

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.

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.

A few close-ups:

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!

Tres Jolie Kit Club-December Mixed Media Kit-Bottle Brush Display

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

Due to life, this will be my final project for the Tres Jolie Kit Club, but I’m sure you’ll find the incoming design team to be very inspirational. As my final project, I used the rest of the ornaments I made for the first project to make a bottle brush tree display.

20201130_092902-FRAMED

Since I already had the ornaments made up, this project went together rather quickly and easily! Check out my video to see the process:

Video:

20201130_093018-FRAMED

I used the last bit of clay I had to cover an up-cycled jar, attached the ornaments, gessoed and painted, added some of the PearlEX powders, and finished them off with some of the glitter. Easy peasy!

20201130_092927-FRAMED 20201130_093054-FRAMED 20201130_093005-FRAMED

Here are some close-ups so you can get a good look at the beautiful details from the mould, and how those paints and powders look together!

As always, thank you for joining me in my corner, I hope this project inspired you and gave you some ideas of what can be done with items found in this month’s Mixed Media Kit.

Tres Jolie Kit Club-December Scrapbooking Kit-Frozen In Time

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

This week I’m bringing you a wintery touch for the home; my “Frozen In Time” board using this month’s scrapbooking kit and mood board from Tres Jolie Kit Club. I ended up dubbing it “Frozen In Time” because I think it looks as though the butterflies and roses were caught in a freeze and are waiting for the spring thaw.

20201204_170149-FRAMED

I used a 12” plywood circle from Creative Embellishments as my base, coated the edge with the Embellishment Mousse from the kit, added my paper, stenciling, and decorations…all in a few hours! Check out how I did it in my video below:

Video:

Isn’t the December Mood Board just beautiful? I love the look of winter. I’m not overly fond of being cold, but I have always thought it to be one of the most beautiful times of the year when you get bright sunlight on a wonderful, winter, snowy landscape.

December 2020 Mood Board

Now for a few close-ups:

20201204_170749-FRAMED 20201204_170737-FRAMED

For my background snowflakes, I used some regular texture paste from my stash with the Snowflake stencil from this month’s kit then topped the, still wet, texture paste with some Distress Glitter (also from my stash) to add some shine to the background. On the flourishes, I used some gilding flakes from my stash to give them the metallic shine I was looking for, but to also make them “rough”,” compared to an embossed finish anyhow.

20201204_170814-FRAMED

I thought these butterflies from my stash were the perfect addition for a couple of reasons. They are the perfect shade of blue, and well butterflies are generally associated with warm weather, these are already aptly named “Frozen” by ReneaBouquets!

20201204_170201-FRAMED 20201204_170803-FRAMED

To keep with my “Frozen In Time” theme, I added some of the same Distress Glitter I used on the background to the blue, Graphic 45, roses. I didn’t need to add any to the peach-y roses, because they already have a bit of glitter on them.

20201204_170105-FRAMED

Thank you for joining us here at my corner! As always, I hope you enjoyed this project and it gave you some ideas of what can be done with the items from this month’s scrapbooking kit and the mood board. I’ll see you again next week!

Tres Jolie Kit Club-December 2020 Mixed Media Kit-Ornaments

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

This week I’m bringing you some ornament ideas to make using items found in this month’s Mixed Media Kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club and some resin from my stash.

20201122_090350-FRAMED

I did a few different color combinations for you, to give a good sampling of what can be done to fit your personal style and décor. Check out my video to see the process!

Video:

Now, how about a few close-ups?

20201122_090205-FRAMED 20201122_090215-FRAMED

I did a few different base colors. Some have black gesso under the red paint, some have white gesso under the silver or red paint, and some have the PearlEx powders mixed into the clear epoxy I used.

20201122_090435-FRAMED

After I had all my ornaments painted how I wanted, I added some of the PearlEx powders to them all.

20201122_090226-FRAMED 20201122_090427-FRAMED

After I used some acrylic spray to keep my powders in place, and I gave all my ornaments a coating of the glitter from the kit. I think these will beautifully reflect blinking Christmas lights!

Tres Jolie Kit Club-December Mixed Media Kit-Holiday Canvas

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

My first project for December is this silver and gold Holiday Canvas I created using the items found in this month’s Mixed Media Kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club, with just a few staple items to go along and a cut file to use as a template for my poinsettias.

20201119_111636-FRAMED

This project was rather simple to go together! There was a bit of elbow grease used to roll out the clay for my poinsettias, but after I knew what direction I was headed it just came together! Check it all out in my video:

Video:

20201119_111717-FRAMED 20201119_111702-FRAMED

After I really smooshed the clay into the Prima Mould I let it start drying to make it easier to pull out of the mould. I also found that I could bend the mould some and let those pieces dry before taking them out. The mould flattens back out, while the ornaments stay curved! If my word-y description is clear as mud, I show my methods in my video!

20201119_111646-FRAMED 20201119_111738-FRAMED 20201119_111728-FRAMED

For my poinsettias, I used a cut file from the Silhouette store to make templates that I pressed into some rolled out clay and cut out with a craft knife, then hand-shaped and set aside to dry. The centers of the poinsettias are just some little balls of the clay I rolled with my fingers before letting them dry.

After my clay pieces were all in place I coated everything with the silver paint from the kit. Then things got really wet when I just started adding on the PearlEx powders! There was a lot of water, a lot of letting the powders flow how they wanted, and a lot of heat gun use! (And yes, in the video you see me using two heat guns to get the job done!)

Tres Jolie Kit Club-November 2020 Mixed Media Kit-Altered Embroidery Hoop

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

For my final November project, I’m bringing you an altered hoop using items from my stash with items found in this month’s Mixed Media Kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club.

DSC_0034-FRAMED

I used an old embroidery hoop from my stash and upcycled some aluminum screen for this Autumn Butterfly piece! Check out the video below to see how I did it! (My husbands hands even make their Internet debut!)

Video:

Now, how about a few close-ups?

DSC_0043-FRAMED DSC_0036-FRAMED

I wasn’t overly worried about “clogging” some of the holes in the screen with the gesso, I think it adds a little something to the piece and makes it seem more connected to the hoop. You don’t have to coat your screen with gesso and wax, I like it better this way though because it cut out the shine from the aluminum. You can also see that I added some “Vintage Gold” wax to the hoop to add just a little shine to offset the matte.

DSC_0035-FRAMED DSC_0038-FRAMED

I finished off two partial packs of flowers on this project and added some die cut leaves coated in “Vintage Gold” wax and sprinkled with some glass glitter for my cluster on the bottom of the hoop, bringing the gold of the butterflies to the outside as well.

DSC_0049_FRAMED DSC_0053_FRAMED

Isn’t it beautiful with the light coming from behind? It makes me think of the setting sun at the end of an autumn day.

Tres Jolie Kit Club-November 2020 Scrapbooking Kit -Color Board

| Corner Scraps

Hey all! Welcome back to my corner!

Today I’m bringing you a purse-size calendar I created using the color inspiration (image below) and the papers and chipboard found in this month’s scrapbooking kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club.

20201112_132834-FRAMED

Compared to other books/journals I’ve made, this one came together rather quickly! It doesn’t have a thick spine, so I couldn’t get carried away adding extra pages. Check out the video below to see how I did it.

Video:

Isn’t this a beautiful color board? I love the look of purple and gold together! Keep scrolling down, there are some photos of the finished calendar below!!Color challenge

20201112_132846-FRAMED

I wanted to add a little something extra to the cover, but I also wanted it to hold up to use, so I opted for some Beautiful Board from ReneaBouquets and some stars I made using my “Stars & Moons” Mould, some tabletop epoxy, alcohol ink and Magical Shakers for color, and some mica flakes. Between you and me, those stars came out fabulously!

20201112_133106-FRAMED 20201112_133042-FRAMED

I couldn’t believe how lucky I was that I just happened to have a book cover in just the right shade of yellow-gold with the perfect title for a calendar! I don’t know what the book originally was, but I loved being able to repurpose the cover.

The next six photos are close-ups of the inside cover, pocket pages, and the calendar cover; you can also see those custom paper clips I made.

This little book calendar is now ready for 2021 to get here! The calendar has some space to write on, and there are a few pockets for lists and receipts to be tucked in.

20201112_133200-FRAMED

Tres Jolie Kit Club-November Mixed Media Kit-Butterfly Panel

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

This week I’m bringing you a grungy “Butterfly Panel” using the items from this month’s mixed media kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club!

DSC_0042-FRAMED

All of those Mould pieces, butterflies, and beads came from my stash, as well as the MDF I used as the base, but I used the Decorative Paper, stencil, and Distress Paints from the kit to give the base some texture and to give it all some color. Check out the video to see how it all came together.

Video:

Pretty straightforward, right? A lot of layers, a lot of different textures, and just working with the colors found in this month’s kit! Here are some close-up images for you to take a look at!

DSC_0046-FRAMED DSC_0057-FRAMED

I’d been hanging on to these butterflies for a couple of years just waiting for the right project and inspiration to come along, and this month it came to me! The MDF I used as my base is nice and sturdy, so it was able to take all the weight from all those Mould pieces and those two butterflies. (That large butterfly is really pretty hefty!)

DSC_0043-FRAMED

Here you can see how I have those pieces all layers working together. Make sure you have some heavy-duty adhesive to take all the moisture while you are working and the weight while you are done! I love using my super-heavy gel for projects like this, it is super-versatile. I can use it with stencils, I can mix paint into it, and I can use it as an adhesive.

DSC_0054-FRAMED DSC_0055-FRAMED

In the photo on the left, you can see a close up of some of the Mould pieces topped with those texture pebbles and the finishing touch, those iridescent beads to offset the matte finish of the paints and wax. The photo on the right shows more of all those textures and layers, but also give a good view of the background. You can see the decorative paper gave some wrinkles, and the stenciling gave some lines!

DSC_0047-FRAMED

This photo gives a good look at how “thick” this project is! Make sure you have someplace sturdy to display your masterpiece when you are done!

As always, thank you for joining us here at Tres Jolie. I hope you enjoyed this project and it gave you some ideas of what you can do with items found in this month’s mixed media kit!
