Slimline Album - Moments That Matter

 Good Morning everyone,

Today I am happy to share with you the Slimline Album I created using the June2025 Card, Tag and More Kit. I hope you enjoy todays step by step tutorial, along with the video tutorial shown below which gives more details. I also have the link for you below.

June 2025 Card, Tag and More Kit

To begin take one of the cards from the kit and score at a 1/2 inch and then adhere the 1/2 inch to the middle spine of the slimline album. ***see video tutorial for more details if needed***

Next Cut 2 cards at 3 5/8 inches, these are going to be flaps for photos.

Adhere one down in the midsection panel on the top left side of the album.

Adhere the second flap down on the 3rd inside panel on the bottom, next to the card flap we just adhered down on the spine. ***see video tutorial for more details if needed***

Take another card and cut 1/2 inch off the open end of the card, the card should measure 3 3/4 inches. 

With the open end facing to the left, adhere this down in middle panel, as shown below.

***see video tutorial for more details if needed***

Next for our closure cut two pieces of cardstock at 2 x 8 1/2 inches. adhere two of the ends together. 

You should have a long a strip.

Next wrap around the slimline album to the back. With the top piece laying over the bottom piece measure 1 inch and cut the excess off. Then adhere the end together 3/4 inches inward. 

Next cut some of the pattern paper and adhere around the closure. Place the closure over the album midway, when sliding the closure on it should fit a little loose so you have room to place photos inside. Now you can decorate the front and inside of the album. 

Here is a photo of the front decorated.

***see video tutorial for more details if needed***

Here is the Left inside panels. 

The first panel at the end I created a small pocket using scraps, cutting the pocket 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. Only place adhesive to the sides and bottom and adhere down. This will hold tags or or small photos. 

The middle panel and the third panel is where we added our flaps from the cards we cut at 3 5/8 inches.

I also used some of the ephemera from the Card Kit to decorate around the flaps. I just love the little woodland characters and the fairies.  

Here is the right side panels for the end panel I created a small pocket using scraps, cutting the pocket  3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches, just like I did for the left side. 

The middle panel is where I adhered the card we cut at 3 3/4 inches. And the third panel I adhered down some of the cut a-parts for small photos or for journaling. ***See video tutorial for more details***

This is the card we scored 1/2 inch and adhered to the middle spine and this can photos and it has a small pocket for holding tags or photos.

Here is a close up of the Slimline Album front.

Fairies in a Flower Pot, A Beautiful Gift Idea - Tres Jolie

 Hi Crafty Friends,

I am so excited to share today's project with you. I created these cute little fairy garden in a pot. This turned out so pretty and the cool thing is you can create two of these using one sheet of card stock paper. I have the links below to the Tres Jolie shop.

June 2025 Scrapbook Kit June 2025 Cards, Tag, and More Kit

             

To start Score an 8 1/2 x 11 inch cardstock at 1 1/2, 3 3/4, 5 1/8, 7 3/8 

Next cut the piece at 4 1/4 inches. So now you have two pieces the same size.

I then measured each panel and cut my pattern paper to leave a tiny boarder around the edges. I cut out 4 pieces for each size to cover front and back for both pieces of 4 1/4 inch strips. 

Here are the measurements for the pattern paper to cover front and back. 

After you cover both strips, cut out a 2 inch circle place in the middle of the 2nd panel from the bottom. Trace the circle, and cut out using the xacto. 

Below is what your strip should look like. ***you can view the video tutorial for more details***

Now place adhesive on the backside of the bottom flap. Cut out a 4 1/4 x 6 inch piece of cardstock and cover the front and back. I then cut out the pocket and large tag from the cut-apart sheet and adhere to the front of the covered cardstock and adhere to the front panel of the box. 

Next adhere the bottom backside panel to the backside of the large panel. (as shown below)

Place your small terracotta pot inside the hole.

Now decorate as you would like 

Here is the decorated box and flower pot. For the flowers I placed glue dots on toothpicks and adhered to the back of the flowers. For the chipboard fair I painted with fawn acrylic paint, painted the little dress with the Lindysgang flat magical evergreen emerald and reactive ink, used a yellow water color for her hair. I used fine gold glitter for her wings.

Mixed Media Canvas and Shabby Chic Tag for Tres Jolie

 Hi Crafting Friends,

Today I'm sharing the June 2025 Mixed Media Kit and what I created using this kit along with the June 2025 Card Kit. I hope you enjoy the projects below and get some inspiration. I have links down below for you and a step by step tutorial, along with the video tutorial as well which contains more details.

June 2025 Mixed Media Kit June 2025 Card, Tag and More Kit

     

To get started Cover the circle canvas with the vintage rose paper. Then cut off the excess.

Next I used a chipboard frame from Tres Jolie shop and adhered it over the little cherub on the other vintage decoupage paper. 

Next cut around the frame and cut the excess off from the backside of the frame.

Next I added paint around the edges of the canvas and the top. I also dabbed some paint on top of the frame and dabbed a bit of Nuvo Sparkle Spray on the frame sporadically. I added a lace to go under the frame and across the right side of the canvas. I cut some roses from the bouquet that is in the kit and adhered them down next to the chipboard frame.

Next I took the Swirl butterfly chipboard and cut them in apart. I painted the butterflies pink and sprinkled some crystal glitter on top and for the swirl I used the root beer reactive ink painted on. For the cloud word "love" I painted that with the pink paint from the Mixed Media Kit.

I also added glossy accents to the top of the little cherub image and the cloud word "love". I then added some words, little fairy girl and the deer from the card kit placed the on top of the canvas.

Shabby Chic Tag

Next I tore part of the scrap from the rose paper we used from the canvas and I adhered it to the chipboard tag. 

Next I used the paint and stencil from the kit and dabbed the paint on top of the tag. 

After the paint on the chipboard dried, I placed a drop of the reactive ink in a small cut and added water and painted the mixture on top of the chipboard. 

Next I painted these diamond chipboard pieces with the stamperia paint from the Mixed Media Kit. I added some Nuvo sparkle spray on top of the tag and I dabbed a little bit on top of the diamond chipboard piece. I also sprayed the remaining swirl butterfly chipboard with the Nuvo sparkle spray and adhered them to the tag and then placed flowers down.

I painted the other circle word "laugh" and placed down in between the flowers.

Here are some close ups of the canvas and tag. 

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and are inspired to use the June 2025 Mixed Media Kit along with the June 2025 Card, Tags and More Kit to create something wonderful. Thanks for joining me today.

Today Is The Day, Enjoy Magic Moments

 Hi everyone, 

Today is my last project for the month of May using the May 2025 Kits for this month. For this project I used the Scrapbook Kit along with the Mixed Media Kit using a few chipboard pieces from the Tres Jolie Shop Butterfly chipboard, Large Tag, Ivy Leaves, Circle Words, and the Mini Flower Border. All of these are available in the Tres Jolie Shop. As always I have the step by step tutorial below as well as the video tutorial. Below I have the Links throughout the tutorial. 

                May 2025 Scrapbook Kit                                           May 2025 Mixed Media Kit

                

To begin out project you will want to gesso your art journal page or canvas.

After the gesso is applied and dried you can sprinkle the alcohol ink on the page and then add on the your alcohol ink blending solution or you can also use isopropyl alcohol to blend your inks around. 

I used the isopropyl alcohol on my journal page. 

To mixed my alcohol inks I used my heat gun. Then applied the inks again and repeated the same steps until I reached the look I wanted on the journal page. 

After I have the journal the way I wanted I took a paper towel and blotted the ink. 

Once the page is dried I used a stencil and mixed modeling paste with the Intense alcohol ink. 

Let this dry.

While the page is drying you can paint or color the chipboard pieces. 

For this Vine chipboard piece I used the alcohol inks right on top of the chipboard pieces, these pieces are not applied with gesso. I used a brown marker to color in the vine part. 

*****For more details you can refer to the video tutorial*****

I have close up photos of the page once its done. 

This picture is of the lower left side. I covered the large chipboard tag with scrapbook paper and used the mini flower boarder along with the chipboard circle word "today". The Ivy is leaning on the large tag but is actually adhered to the flowers inside the large frame. 

For this large frame that is on the lower right hand side of the page. From the Scrapbook Kit I fussy cut out the rose and added foam tape behind it so it pops out of the frame. 

This photo is the upper left side of the page. I used pattern paper behind the small frame and used some flowers from the Scrapbook Kit. I also used a small circle frame to have focal point of the flower placing some glossy accents on top. 

This photo is a close up of the right upper page. For this part I used a chipboard butterfly colored in with the scorch alcohol ink and brown marker. I used some art stones that were covered with the intense alcohol inks. For my sentiment I used this from my stash from the January Mixed Media Kit. 

Here is a photo of the full page all finished. 

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and are inspired to create a journal page or canvas using this tutorial and some of the techniques I shared with you. I really enjoy creating the monthly art journal page using the Tres Jolie Kits.
