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

August 26, 2021August 25, 2021 | Corner Scraps

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!

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:

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:

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”)


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.

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.

Glue lines if the larger side will be your top piece.	Glue lines if the smaller side will be your top piece.

**Original Fabrika Decoru Instagram post where the pocket idea came from! (The 6th slide in the post has a video)

Thank you for joining me here in my little corner, I hope you enjoyed this project and it gave you some ideas of what you can do with the items found in the August Cards, Tags, & More Kit!

Tres Jolie Kit Club-July 2021 Moodboard: “Be Happy” Mixed Media Canvas

July 13, 2021July 11, 2021 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my corner!

Today I’m bringing you my moodboard inspired project; a mixed media canvas using items from both the July Mixed Media Kit and the July Scrapbooking Kit from Tres Jolie Kit Club! Pink flowers, gold veining, and butterflies were my inspiration from the moodboard, so I gathered my supplies and just went with it!

I love moulds, so I was super excited when I saw that the Mixed Media Kit came with a fabulous Stamperia frames mould! Be sure to check out my video to see how I used the mould and how my canvas came together! (Note: Although I found it unnecessary with the Amazing Cast Resin, you can use various household products to help release the frames from the mold, such as baby powder, corn starch, cooking spray, and mica powder. Personally, I think the cooking spray is best for resins, and powders [would be] best for clays – because the resins absorb powders.)

July 2021 Moodboard:

Now for some close-ups:

I used the Dina Wakley paints from the Mixed Media kit on my background, baseboard doll, chipboard butterfly, and frame—along with lots of water in some areas to make the paints more translucent! I added just a touch of Vintage Gold wax to the frame details and wing edges.

I brushed some gel medium along the edges of the flowers to hold the gold microbeads in place, adding just a bit of detail and texture to the flowers! Then I dug into my stash and grabbed all three of my art stone bottles (mega, regular, & mini) and started adding them on. I like to sprinkle my art stones in place before adding the Diamond Glaze—that way I can get my placement down before making it permanent.

As my final touch, I used a metallic gold pen from my stash to add some gold “veining” along the edges of my torn paper and to circle the epoxy dots from the kit.

I hope you enjoyed this project and it gave you some ideas of what can be done with items from this month’s Mixed Media and/or Scrapbooking Kits!

Thank-you for joining us here at Tres Jolie, I’ll see you again soon!!

Tres Jolie Kit Club-June 2021 Cards, Tags, & More Kit-Art Journal

June 16, 2021June 12, 2021 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my little corner!

This week I’m bringing you an art journal I created for the Tres Jolie Kit Club using some of the papers and chipboard gears from this month’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit along with papers, some embellishments, and mediums from my stash.

I absolutely loved the Sir Vagabond line from Stamperia, and I knew I’d have to make Sir Vagabond himself part of a cover as soon as I saw the paper pack! Check out my video to see how I put this art journal together.

Video:

For my pages I used some homemade tea dyed papers and some printed papers I’ve had for who knows how long! I also splattered the pages with some “Salvaged Patina” & “Aged Mahogany” Distress Oxide Sprays.

My art journal isn’t very think, so I only have two signatures in it. However, each signature has one sheet of the Stamperia paper included! The outer sheet for the first signature, and the center for the second signature.

On the front and back covers I used some heavy gel with two stencils for texture, added my Tres Jolie chipboard gears that I painted with “Steampunk Copper” Prima paint, and some roman numeral before adding the “Salvaged Patina” Distress Paint & some splatters. I backed Sir Vagabond with some chipboard and gave him a “new” moustache before adding him to the cover.

I hope you enjoyed this project and it gave you some ideas of what you can do with items found in this month’s Cards, Tags, and More Kit!

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

June 2, 2021May 31, 2021 | 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.

JPEG of the spine & tag cuts.

(Below is a link to my Dropbox for a SVG.)

Measurements I used for the Stamperia paper.

Link to SVG in my Dropbox

(not a Tres Jolie Dropbox!)

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

Stay Crafty, Friends

Tres Jolie Kit Club-July 2020 Cards, Tags, & More Kit

July 29, 2020July 28, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog!

Today I’m bringing you the junk journal I created using this month’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit from the Tres Jolie Kit Club. I had such a blast making this journal, and even though I didn’t originally intend to kill the kit, as I kept going it became a personal challenge to see if I could get everything in!

For the video I put the flip-through in at the beginning, then followed it up with the process. I hope you take a peek at it and enjoy it! Below the video I have added a few photos of the finished journal.

Video:

I used the new Tim Holtz color, “Speckled Egg,” throughout the journal. It went beautifully with the Stamperia papers that came in this months kit. For the resin pieces I used some of the “Speckled Egg” oxide and embossing glaze, and some “Gathered Twig” Distress Crayon.

I pieced together the smaller “left-over” pieces to cover the “manila” colored tags that came in the kit and added some string from my stash.

I cut out the ATC sized cards from the paper and attached them to one side of the popcorn bag that came in my kit! (Your bag may be different) I turned the two music prints into envelopes and added them in, and peeking out of this one is a little notebook I made from the largest left-over piece I had and some standard notebook paper.

The final page and inside of the back cover, which contains a flip out.

I hope you enjoyed this project and had a chance to see my process video, most of it is sped up, but I do stop to explain in quite a few areas! Thank you for joining us here at Tres Jolie!

May 30, 2020May 30, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! This is the last project I’m doing for May, but I’ll be back on June 1, 2020 with the Tres Jolie Kit Club Reveal!

Today I have a steampunk card I created for the May Challenge over on the Creative Embellishments Blog.

I don’t know what I’ll be doing with the card yet, but it’s good to have some one hand! Or so I’ve heard, I’m not a real big card maker, I find them difficult to do! But I’m happy with how this one has come out! All of the chipboard gears, the ATCoins, and the Circle Shaker Set are from Creative Embellishments, I just added the Patina and Rust Effect Pastes to go with my old, DCWV paper.

Creative Embellishments Challenge Inspiration – Twist: Use Numbers

Check out my quick process video!

Now for a few close-ups:

I always say “that was easy” after I finish a card, but I always have trouble getting myself to make another one! Maybe I’ll slowly (likely very, very slowly!) start making more!
I hope you enjoyed this card & thank you for joining me here in my corner!

May 2020 Lindy’sGang Challenge-ATCoins-Journey

May 29, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hi, all! I have managed yet another project this month!! Still not going to question or argue with my brain’s decision to be active this month!

This time I have made a set of Artist Trading Coins for the Lindy’s Gang May 2020 Color Challenge.

Below the Lindy’s Gang Color Challenge Image, you’ll find a quick process video!

Here’s a quick (7 minutes) video of what I did:

Now for a few close-ups:

For the background I used a circle punch on the paper ribbon and added a stamped image that I embossed with some Lindy’s Gang “Silver Moon Mistletoe” Embossing Powder (Discontinued?). For the stars I mixed a little of the “Plumeria Pink” Flat Magical with some water and brushed it on, and for the wings I mixed the same “Plumeria Pink” Flat Magical with some white gesso to lighten it up. I dyed the cheesecloth with the “Aloha Avocado” Flat Magical powder, and after everything was dry I just started layering, adding some sisal, twine, and “Small Talk” phrases!

Once I figured out where I was going with this project, it went along rather quickly! Sometimes the idea is harder than the execution!

Products:

Lindy’s Gang – “Plumeria Pink” Flat Magical, “Aloha Avocado” Flat Magical (Both from the Hawaiian Island Flat Magical Set), and “Silver Moon Mistletoe” Embossing Powder (Discontinued? Seasonal? I couldn’t find it on the site), ReneaBouquets Beautiful Board-Beautiful Bits “Star,” The Paperie Shoppe “Uncharted” Paper Ribbon, Creative Embellishments ATC Coin Blanks, Recollections 2.5” Circle Punch, Finnabair Mechanicals “Winged,” Prima Quick Dry Fluid Chalk Ink “Tin Can,” Hobby Lobby July 4th Carded Twine, Stamperia Cosmos Stamps (WTKCCR05), Tim Holtz idea-ology “Small Talk,” Finnabair Heavy Gesso, Sisal, Cheesecloth, Liquitex Clear Gesso, FabriTac, Art Glitter Glue, E6000

Tres Jolie Kits-December Mixed Media Kit-Canvas

December 18, 2019November 27, 2019 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! I’m up on the blog today using the December Mixed Media Kit! For this project I used the canvas, mediums, stencil, and drywall tapes from the kit!

I don’t often work with realistic images, but I really do like the print on the Stamperia line! I layered the rice paper over the matching patterned paper, and one eye didn’t quite line up right, but, to me, I think it gives an other-worldly vibe!

Process Video:

Here you can see some of the crazing effect, as well as a closer look at the TCW stencil with the Lindy’s Gang, “Treasure Island Aqua,” Moon Shadow Mist.
