Adventure Is Waiting Canvas

 Good Moring everyone, 

So good to be here with y'all again. Today I have a really fun and quick project for you using the March 2024 Mixed Media Kit from Tres Jolie. This canvas was so quick to create and so fun. I love using the mixed media kit along with other items from the Card, Tag and More Kit and Scrapbooking Kit. I know you are going to love this fun quick project. 


As always I have a step by step tutorial for you sharing the video process along with some photos below for your convenience. 


Here is what I used to create this canvas

Mixed Media Kit                                          Card, Tag and More Kit    used frame                                                      
      







                                                                       Scrapbooking Kit used chipboard key, the natural flowers, and cloches









To start I used the Stamperia Glamour Gel first. Just brushing it on over the canvas. Next I took the TCW Seafoam Stencil Butter along with the Creative Expressions Slimline Stencil from the February Mixed Media Kit and applied the butter in different areas of the canvas. 


Make sure the stencil butter is dry as it will smear, just a tip as mine smeared a bit. Next I applied the LindysGang Magical bayou boogie gold around the canvas and wiping it around. Set aside to dry 


I cut out the one of the clocks from the rice paper and adhered to chipboard circle to place inside the pocket watch. 


I then cut another clock from the rice paper and adhered on top of the previous clock and placed the clock inside. 


For this part use the chipboard frame from the Card, Tag and More Kit and place glue to the oval which is the center of the frame. Then place behind the lady and burnish down. 


Grab the frame and place over the oval until it fits.


Next turn over and add a bit of water to a towel and rub some water around the rice paper and tear off. 


Take the frame off and add glue to the inside center of the frame and place frame back on the oval piece. This will keep the frame on the rice paper. 


Next I took the Glamour Gel and brushed over the frame and key. 


I used the Magical bayou boogie gold powder put some down and added a bit of water, just a drop of two as you want it little dark. I then brushed on the frame in certain areas and some over the image to create a rust look on the edges. I did the same with the chipboard key from the scrapbook kit. 


I added everything together on the canvas. I did back up the words with chipboard, you can view the video tutorial as it will show all whole process from beginning to end. 


Thank you all for joining me today I hope you liked today's mixed media project. It was so fun to create this canvas and play around with the items inside this Mixed Media Kit. 
I have links throughout the post here and above showing the kits. 
Have a great day and Happy Crafting.

Thoughts of You Card Mini Album

 Good Day Everyone, 

Today I am sharing this beautiful little mini album I created using the March Tres Jolie Card, Tags and More Kit. This is a quick little mini album that can a few photos or snapshots of any special occasion, fantastic as a little brag book for holding those special photos. 

Here is the video tutorial that also gives a step by step with more details. 


I used the  March Tres Jolie Card, Tags and More Kit and March Scrapbook Kit from Tres Jolie

  

To get started on this we need to fold all the cards from the Card Kit and place adhesive on the back of each one except the last card. 

I added glue on top of the double back tape and then grab the next card and adhere the front of the card to the adhesive side. Make sure to burnish down each time you adhere your card. 

Here is a photo of 3 of the cards adhered together. 

Next place a ribbon or seam binding around the mini album as this will be your closure. And cut you mats for the inside of the mini album. I cut mine at 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches. 

Here is a photo of the inside after all the cards are adhered and I placed one of the mats down. 


For a couple of the mats I decided to cut the inside with an xacto knife to create a little pocket. 


Next place the adhesive around the edges of the mat and add adhesive to the back of the wooden panel side only.


Next place down on your page. 


For this mat I used my xacto knife to cut around the flowers to create a nice little pocket. This turned out so pretty. Just follow the same instructions. Place your adhesive around the edges of the backside of the mat and add adhesive to the upper right hand side. (see video tutorial for more details)


Here is the finished page. 


Here are a few photos of the mini album after I finished decorating the inside. 






I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial you can always see more details on the video tutorial just go back to the top and click on the video. I do have links throughout the tutorial for you so you can head to Tres Jolie to check out all these beautiful Card, Tag and More Kits, Scrapbooking Kits, and Mixed Media Kit in the store. 
Thanks so much for joining me. Have a great day and Happy Crafting.

Hello Peeps Easter Cards

 Hi Peeps 

I hope you all are doing well. Easter is on it's way can you believe it. So with that being said I have some fun Easter Cards you can create for Easter using Clear Scraps 5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil, Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments and the 4 x6 Hello Peeps Stencil

I hope you enjoy the step by step tutorial below. Down below I have the products I used along with the name & links, just click on the name and you'll be directed to the store. 

Here's a photo of the finished cards. 


Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments                                 5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil

                                



Card #1

To start create a regular card base measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. I place a piece of removable tape diagonal, as shown below. 

Next take the  5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil place it a little above the tape and stencil your first flower, after you have the first scoot the stencil over and ink the next flower down and keep going all over the white space. 


Once you have finished the top of the card move the tape a little bit down so you have about a 2 inch diagonal space between the top and bottom flowers you're stenciling. 


Next I decided to use brown flock for the Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments. You can either use double back tape as shown below or use your glue. I do prefer the glue over the tape I feel it's just easier. After your done applying the adhesive you can place the chipboard piece in the flock and cover it all over. 


Here is the end result. One bunny I used glue and the other bunny I used double back tape. But you can decorate your Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments however you'd like, even paint them. 


Next I covered the midsection with yellow glitter paper and layered with pink cardstock. I added flap back enamel dots from my stash. I also used a Happy Easter metal die from my stash for the sentiment. 
Now the card is finished. 



Card #2

For card #2 we used the 4 x6 Hello Peeps Stencil . This stencil is so cute. I laid it down and just applied my ink as shown below. The size of this card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches.

Here is what the front of the card looks like after I was done inking with the stencil. I did the cute bunnies in different colors and the words to match. Now you can decorate it. 


I thought it would be nice to use the  5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil and then fussy cut these out to decorate around the card. For the centers of the flowers I used Nuvo flower pollen, but you can use enamel dots or what ever you have in your stash. 


Here is where I place a thin piece of green glitter paper and pattern paper on the top and bottom of the card just to give a little bit of nice border to the card. Below you can see I fussy cut some of the flowers.


Here's the finished card. Super easy peasy right? I added a few enamel dots on the left side and a pink butterfly from my stash to the card. This card is so cute I just love the 4 x6 Hello Peeps Stencil inked with fun bright colors, so full of Spring and Easter. 




Card #3

The size of this card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. The yellow glitter cardstock mat is 5 1/4 x 4 inches, the blue polka dot mat measures 4 7/8 x 3 3/4 inches. After you cut the mats  you can glue together. 


For this card I created my own picket fence out of the wooden pattern paper I had in my stash. I cut 4 pickets at 1 x 3 inches and snipped of the top portion to form the picket fence. 


The slat that goes across the pickets measures 1 x 5 inches. I inked each piece with ink to make them a little dark around the edges. I did add foam tape to the back of each picket fence and then laid the long slat piece on top (there is no foam tape on this piece).


Adhere the mat to the card base and decorate the front as you would like. I added the second little Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments on top of the fence along with the remaining stenciled flowers I fussy cut. I found the carrots and grass in my stash and added them. This turned out so adorable. 


I hope you liked today's step by step tutorial. I like that these cards were so easy to create and you can create the flowers from the stencils cut them out and use them to decorate your card, tags or layouts. Just another way you can use this fun 5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil along with the Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments Embellishments and the 4 x6 Hello Peeps Stencil
I wish you all a Happy Easter and Happy Crafting.
