Tres Jolie Kit Club-July Mixed Media Kit-Use Your Wings

July 23, 2020July 19, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all!

Welcome back to my blog. Today I’m bringing you my final project for this month using the second transparent gear from A.B. Studio that came in the Tres Jolie Kit Club’s July Mixed Media kit, along with the alcohol inks from the kit and some items from my stash.

For this project I really wanted to showcase the transparent nature of that A.B. Studio gear so I used a gel medium to add some texture while retaining the transparency. Check out the video below to see the whole process as I was doing it!

Video:

I really wanted a ton of texture on my gear, so in addition to the stenciling I have some sisel and some texture beads.

I used the “Sunshine Yellow,” and “Sunset Orange” alcohol inks in the area where I would be placing the cluster.

I used clear embossing power on some of the cut-out pieces, then used the “Purple Twilight” alcohol ink and the “Snow Cap” Mixative to add some color to the mushroom tops and some of the flower clusters. When I sprayed the ink with some rubbing alcohol I just let it bleed out how it wanted. I didn’t dry to clean it up or move it.

On a few of the other embossed, cut-out pieces I used some of the “Snow Cap” Mixative.

I think the olive green on the butterfly and words was the perfect complementary color to use with the three colors of alcohol inks that came in this month’s kit.

Thank you for joining us here at Tres Jolie, I hope you enjoyed this project and that it gave you some ideas of what can be done with items from this month’s Mixed Media kit. I hope to see you again soon!

Tres Jolie Kit Club-June 2020 Mixed Media Kit-“Today”

June 11, 2020May 31, 2020 | Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog!

Today for the Tres Jolie Kit Club, I’m bringing you, well, “Today”!! A kind of shabby, kind of rustic memo board I created using items from the kit, items from my stash, and some scrap door casing.

I love how the crackle paint came out on this! I gave me the aged look I was really wanting! Check the video to see how everything went together!

As I mentioned in the video, this project went together rather quickly! I let the flowers air dry so the color could bleed how it wanted, and with the help of my heat gun the mediums were dry in no time!

Here are some close ups of that beautiful cracking:

Aren’t those cracks just amazing? I think it’s some of the best cracking I’ve had. Ever!

I love the bit of sparkle with the Lindy’s Magical Powder, it goes so well with that shine from the Metallic Gilding Polish.

To get that aged look on the frame I layered the crackle paste on top of a coat of the Lindy’s Magical Powder. Because the Lindy’s is water-based it was easily reactivated and absorbed by the paste!

This isn’t in the video, because I thought of it later, but I added a light coating of some Tim Holtz Matte Collage Medium on clothes pin that has the polish. Just enough to add some protection to being touched!

I hope you enjoyed this project and that it gave you some ideas of what can be done using items from this months kit!

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-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

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
