I am so excited to share a fun project using the March 2025 Mixed Media Kit along with the Card, Tag and More Kit. Mixing both of these kits together for this fun Decorative Not Pad Holder just came together perfectly. I have a step by step tutorial below along with the video tutorial that gives a bit more details. Links are throughout the blog post and I have photos of the kits just click on the links to be directed to the Tres Jolie Shop.
To start our project open the clay package and the mould. Roll out the clay and place inside the mould. Be sure to make your edges flat against the sides of mould.
While the clay dries and forms lets add our paper to the large door tag/hanger. I used the 3D Gel from January Mixed Media Kit. This 3D Gel is like an adhesive, so I tore my scraps, laid them down over lapping them a bit and gluing them down.
Here is what the finished door hanger looks like after I adhered all the papers down. I also covered the back. To get the edges smooth you can use a nail file around the edges and inside the hole.
Next I used the blue shimmer powder, add a bit of water and mix. I then brushed on the blue shimmer over the areas where the torn edges meet on top of one another. After applying the water color you can dry using the heat gun. I also used the Gold paint from the Mixed Media Kit to paint the edges of the door hanger.
Once the clay was a bit dry I took out the images and painted using both the blue shimmer paint and the gold.
Next I cut the frame in half and adhered part of the frame to top of the tag, as shown below. Adhere it using wet adhesive. I used the 3D Gel. I adhered the other half of the frame down below, including the tea cup, bow and the small little medallion.
Next I added the little strap that wraps around the front to the back. (see video for more details).
Slip in the back part of your note pad.
Here's what the bottom looks like with the other half of the frame.
Here is the finished Decorative Not Pad Holder. I added magnets to the back so I could place on my refrigerator. You will need strong magnets so it will not slide down the frig. You can use a small note pad as shown below or you can use a small spiral note pad as well.
I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I loved how this project turned out and it only took an hour to create it. Definitely a quick and easy project. You can give this as gift or use it for yourself.

I hope you are having a great day. For this project I used the March 2025 Card, Tag and More Kit, along with the August 2023 Mixed Media Kit, which contains the wooden tray I used. Today I have a beautiful home decor or gift for someone that you can create in a day, it's a beautiful Tea Tray along with some paper tea cups. I do have the step by step down below as well as a video tutorial that provides more details.
Next I painted the frame edges and inside using a acrylic fawn color. You can choose any color you would like.
After the paint dried I decided to cover the edges with the paper and cut a few pieces using the Ciao Bella paper Timeless Moments from the Card Kit. I measured the inside to cut down my image to fit inside and adhered down with glue. I also fussy cut out some of the ephemera pieces from the cut a-part sheet and adhered on in the corners along with the flowers. I places a little bird on top of the flowers down in the left hand corner.
Next I used a tea cup template I've had in stash for a while. I traced around the template on the pattern paper. If you have a die you can uses that but I used this and it works well as you can place little tea bags inside or other trinkets. I will have the template below for you.
Next just fold in the tabs and glue. You can see more details in the video tutorial.
I created two tea cups and decorated the outside with the images from the the cut a-part sheets from the Card Kit. I just the all the images so vintage and shabby. I placed some tea bags inside.
Here is the what the final tray looks like. I love how it turned out. I did used some metal handles I had in my stash.
Here is photo of the tea tray sides with tea cups. This would make sure a beautiful gift for someone who is sick or for Mother's Day. You can tea or coffee and even a few little cookies or scones.
I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I loved how this project turned out and it only took an hour to create it. Definitely a fast project that turned out beautiful with this amazing
March 2025 Card Kit.

Today I am sharing some fun card techniques to make using the March 2025 Card, Tag and More Kit. This Card kit is just beautiful and will make you want to create tons of wonderful projects. Join me below for the step by step tutorial but you can also view the video tutorial as well, which has a few more details.
To start I used white gesso on the chipboard tea cup stack from the Card Kit. You can use clear is you don't have white gesso.
Next I rubbed Distress Oxide Kitsch Flamingo on the top cup and use Butter Cream acrylic paint on the middle cup and memento Desert Sand. I then rubbed versa mark on top of them and used clear embossing powder to make them shiny. Then decorated.
For the top mat of the card I used the stamp resist technique. So I used the pattern paper with gray and white as the pattern. I inked versa mark on the doily stamp and stamped randomly around the paper, spread clear embossing powder and use heat gun to set the powder.
Then I used Memento Ink Gray Flannel and rubbed this all over the pattern paper and wipe off excess ink from the embossed images. You can use any ink color you'd like.
Next decorate your card. Here is what my finished card looks like after I was done adding the all the items from the Card Kit. I used the diamond Art Pebbles from a past Mixed Media Kit.
Card #2
For our 2nd card I cut 2 panels out from the pattern paper, each piece is 1/8th inch shorter and layered them on top of each other. I fussy cut out a tea cup of flowers and a window. I also used half of the clock that is an image on one of the pattern papers.
Next I placed foam tape on the back of the window and tea cup. I adhered on the butterfly.
Next cut a piece of paper 1x8 1/2 inches, fold in half and then fold each end inward toward the middle score line you created.
On each end place double back tape or you can add your glue to one end at a time.
Next adhere one end first to edge of the card, as shown below, then adhere the other end.
After you adhere the ends you can attach the little ephemera pieces from the cut a-part cards.
Card #3
This card is so easy. This is the gift card holder. Take the card and fold in 1 3/4 of the front flap.
Next adhere all your mats outside and inside the card. Then you can cut pattern paper and adhere down the panels.
For the gift card holder pocket use a hole punch and only cut a half circle. Next place adhesive on each end of the pocket and fold down. I also added one of the little book mark panels and fussy cut the clock.
With this Card Kit there are so many cut a-parts you can use on cards, tags, and other fun projects.
Below are the cards all finished.

Today I am sharing a couple of quick layouts I created using the February2025 scrapbook kit. I hope you enjoy the step by step tutorial and I have a video tutorial that shows the entire layout process.
All links are below for you.
February2025 Scrapbook Kit
To start I combined 2 small scoops of Pink Gold Pearl Ex and 2 small scoops of the Stamperia Meduim for pigments, mix until you get a paint like consistency. I then painted the Chipboard Hearts.
For page 1 - I used the truck pattern paper. I really liked this image. I cut one mat at 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches and distressed the edges. I cut another patterned paper at 4 x5 and distressed the edges again, then inked my edges. I added foam tape to the back of the photo mat, then adhered down.
I added flowers and I painted the Love Key Chipboard piece with pink gold pearl ex. I did paint the "love" in a light pink and went over it with the white pearl ex.
Page #2
I drew a large wave down the length of the a 12 x 12 pattern papers on both sides then cut out. I then used this as a pattern to draw the same wave on a second 12x12 paper. This way they will layer on top of one another. For more details you can watch the video tutorial.
Here is what it should look like after you cut them out. I used the ends to decorate the left and right side. I like how this looks like an hour glass shape. For more details you can watch the video tutorial.
I then took a black marker and traced the edges of the waves before putter on the any photos. I adhered the chipboard hearts and flowers.
Here is page 1 all finished and I wrote on top the day and where we went for our night out.
Here is the finished second page I placed the photos on and then adhered the grapevine hearts with hot glue. I also added in some sentiments from the card kit.
I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I enjoyed creating this two page layout and sharing my memories with you all. Using the chipboard hearts and sharing the painting technique you can do using the pearl ex from the mixed media kit added a nice touch to the papers and photos.
