Fun Valentine's Lip Gloss Purse

Happy Valentine's Day My Crafty Friends,

I hope you are having a great day. Today I have something fun and fast for you to create for Valentine's Day or any special occasion. I created these cute Valentine's Lip Purses using the February 2025 Scrapbook Kit. I have links below for you to go check out this super cute Scrapbook Kit that has so many uses not only for Valentine's Day but Birthday's, Wedding cards, Mother's Day, Thinking of You and this paper collection comes with many words and phrases. I have the step by step below along with the video tutorial. 

February 2025 Scrapbook Kit

Let's start our project.

Start my cutting out your Cardstock to 3x6.

 I'm using white but you can use a different color if you'd like. 

Next score your cardstock with the 6 inches laying across the top of the scoreboard.

Score at 2 5/8 and 3 3/8 inches.

Next use your scoreboard and ruler for our tick marks. Place your ruler at 2 inches (as shown below), Mark at the 1 1/4 inch and then mark at 1 3/4 inches.

Scoot the ruler down to the 2nd score-line and mark at the same 

measurements 1 1/4 inches and 1 3/4 inches. 

Here is what your marks should look like. Don't make the below the 2nd score-line. 

Next cut a straight line from one dot to the other. 

Fold in the cut piece and you should have an opening to slide in the lip gloss or lip balm. 

I created these for my granddaughter's for Valentine's Day. Here is how I decorated each one.

I used border punches for the top and cut other cardstock to accent the pattern papers I used from the Scrapbook Kit. I fussy cut out the cute little animals and sentiments from the cut a-part page in the Scrapbook kit. I added in the handles with ribbon I had in my stash and for the closure I used valcro. You can see more details in the video tutorial. 

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I enjoyed creating these little purses for Valentine's. These would be nice to give for little gifts for friends, family or co-workers.

Tags Of Love

 Hi my crafty friends, 

Today I am sharing my first project using the February 2025 Scrapbook Kit. If you haven't seen the new February Kits you need to check them out they have lots of fun goodies inside. And with that being said, I have a couple of beautiful chipboard tags I created using the Feb. Scrapbook and Mixed Media kit. I have the step by step down below with photos but I also have the video tutorial that shares more details. I have links throughout the post for everything I used. 

Feb. 2025 Scrapbook Kit                                                       Feb. 2025 Mixed Media Kit

                

Tag #1

To start off cover your tag with a piece of pattern paper. I usually place glue on my chipboard tag and then lay the chipboard on top of the pattern paper, burnish down really well and cut out. 

Below I decorated the Love with Key chipboard piece using the rose gold Gilding Flakes from the Mixed Media Kit along with the pink gold Pearl Ex. 

For the gilding flakes you want to use either your glue or you can use 3D gloss gel to adhere the gilding flakes to the chipboard, like I did below on the key portion of the chipboard. 

For the "love" portion I took my modeling paste and mixed in a little of the pearl ex. But first I brushed on textured paste to the "love" portion first. Once that dried I brushed on the pink pearl ex with modeling paste and let dry. Because I wanted it a little more pink I did my versa mark and patted it down on the "love" poured some pearl ex on top of it just a little bit and then heated it to set it. 

Next I adhered on the flowers and the small grapevine heart with my glue gun. I used my glue to adhere the chipboard "love" piece. Next I added some gilding flakes around the tag to give a little bit more interest to the tag and adhered some flat back pearls. 

Here is the finished tag. One thing I did to the pink flowers is I used a little gesso with water mixed, and brushed the mixture on lightly on each flower to lighten them up a bit. I then went over the flowers with stickles. 

Tag #2

For tag #2 cover the front just like we did the for the first tag.

Next cut a piece of 4x4 pattern paper. On my scoreboard I have black line down from the 6 inch I use this as a marker when I need to score something like this or in the middle of something. So line up your corners on the black line or your 6 inch line and score at the 5 inch on all four sides turning your square around. 

Next fold at the score lines and you will cut at the intersected parts of the square. This will give you a small envelope. (as shown below) Also you can view the video tutorial for more details. 

Here are some of the pieces I fussy cut out from the cut apart sheets in the Scrapbook Kit. Once you have your envelope folded up and flaps adhered glue it down on the tag. 

I glued on the small envelope fill it with the hearts. I did use foam tape on the hearts and the rest of the embellishments. I used a piece of seambinding from my stash for the bow. I added in flat back pearls, glued on the paper flowers and used glossy accents to add the shine to the hearts.

I  hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. For more details you can view the video tutorial.

January 2025 Mixed Media Kit                                         January 2025 Scrapbook Ki

Today we are going to create a mixed media journal page. 

To start I placed some white gesso on top of the page and spread this using the paint brush from the Mixed Media Kit. 

After the white gesso dries, To start I added in white gesso to the acrylic violet paint by Finnabair and the Lindy's Gang Magical foxglove fuchsia, you'll want to mix, as shown below. Next I scrunched up a napkin, then dipped it in the purple and pounced the paint around the edge of the page. Next I used the Lindy's Gang Magical foxglove fuchsia and pounced it underneath the violet paint. 

Next I used the background chipboard Brick Wall Panel and used the Glamour Gel and painted it all over the chipboard. Set aside to dry. 

I did use black gesso along with the Finnabair manuscript stencil in a few areas on the page. I set aside to dry while I painted my chipboard pieces. Next I painted the (nature) flower chipboard piece with the brown Glamour Gel and applied lilac and violet gelatos on the flower petals. 

Once the black gesso dried I cut the brick wall chipboard piece and used the 3D Gloss Gel to adhere to the art journal page. 

Here are some photos of the finished art journal page. I really like how this turned out. I also added some glizy gold throughout the page. We used the flowers from the Scrapbook kit and I fussy cut out the butterflies and the kitten on the stack of books from the Scrapbook paper. 

I also added some art stones and topped them off with some gold spritz, and I did black and white splatters to finish off the page. 

Here are a few close ups of the page. 

Here is a close up of the Brick Wall Chipboard. I just the speckles of gold with in the paint. 

Creating the mixed media art journal page was so fun and combining the paints and placing the gold lines to create a marbling look makes it look so pretty with the pink and purple colors. 

I like how the black stenciled words stick out amongst the bright colored flowers. The sentiment is from the sentiment booklet that comes in the Mix Media Kit. 

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. For more details you can view the video tutorial.

Forever Moments Mixed Media Layout

 Hi My Crafty Friends,

Thank for joining me today. Have you played around with this months Mixed Media Kit? I am enjoying playing around with the all the basic tools that are inside this kit. It's a great way to start out learning how all these fabulous items work together. I am still learning all about mixed media and with that being said, I have a fun layout I created using a new technique. I have a step by step down below for you but my video tutorial always gives you more details and you can follow both anytime. I also have links to the store for you grab your January Mixed Media Kit and the Scrapbook Kit. 

January 2025 Mixed Media Kit                                       January 2025 Scrapbook Kit

     

Let's get started - To start you are going to need some clear gesso. This is something that did not come in the kit so you will need to grab some from your stash. Then brush the clear gesso over one of the pattern papers from the Scrapbook Kit. I used my large art brush from the Mixed Media Kit to brush on the clear gesso.

While your pattern paper is drying brush on your heavy white gesso, let dry or dry with heat gun for a bit let sit and then add some textured paste on top. Again you can let dry or use the heat gun to dry for a bit. **make sure not to get your chipboard to hot**

Here is what the chipboard looks like with the heavy white gesso and texture paste. 

Next I added a stencil in a few areas around my pattern paper. I used the stencil from the Feb. 2024 Mixed Media Kit. If you do not have that one use one from your stash. Spread your modeling paste around. Then I came in with a scrunched up paper towel and did a pouncing technique around the areas I stenciled.

Next you can add your paints. I used the June 2024 Mixed Media kit, using the Finnabair violet acrylic paint along with the french rose Couture Paint. Again when placing these down I did a light pouncing technique.

After I finished adding in the paint and let it dry for a bit I painted the frame with Finnabair violet paint. Then I tranced the frame onto one of the scrap pieces of pattern paper and cut out to place the photo of my parents in the middle.  Next the bottom left and right corner pieces are images I fussy cut from some of the other pattern papers. I added in the ephemera pieces and also fussy cut out the butterflies and some of the flowers. I did add foam tape to the back of the flowers and to the bottom corner pieces. 

I also added in the beautiful lace from the Scrapbook Kit. After adhering everything down I used some of the Glitzy Magical Gleaming Gold around the purple frame and around the layout. 

To get more details on how I put my layout together you can hop on over to my video tutorial.

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I really had fun using the pouncing technique on this layout. I hope you received some inspiration and try creating a Mixed Media layout of one your favorite family photos. I hope to share some other fun techniques with you next week using this months January 2025 Mixed Media Kit. Thank you all for joining me today. For more details you can view the video tutorial.

Create With Heart Mixed Media Cards for Tres Jolie

Hi Crafty Friends, 

Have you seen the new Mixed Media Kit for this month (January 2025) it contains all the basics you need to create some really fun and amazing cards, tags, canvas's and other projects you might have in mind. I have a photo down below of everything you receive inside the kit. For today's projects I also used the January 2025 Scrapbook Kit as well. Just click on the name above the photo and you'll be directed straight to the Kit. Also for full details on how to create the Mixed Media Cards down below view the video tutorial.

      January 2025 Mixed Media Kit                                              January 2025 Scrapbook Kit 

              

Card #1 

To start we are going to apply Black Gesso to 3 sizes of cardstock. 

For the first one, below, after the black gesso dried I embossed the cardstock with a flower embossing folder. Be sure the gesso is dried before using your embossing folder. 

Next I used some Nuvo Embellishment Mousse from my stash and spread this out sporadically on top of the embossed image. You can use waxes or gelatos, or you can try water colors. 

Next I took a flower chipboard ( Nature - Flower Set 1)piece from the shop, I painted the stem green using flat magical by Lindsey's Gang, this was in a MM Kit from last year. 

I colored the chipboard flower adhered it on with some 3D Gloss Gel. I also used a butterfly and the flower embellishment from the Scrapbook kit. I added in art stones around my images. 

The frame is from my stash and I placed one of the images (Lilac) inside the frame. 

Once I was done I added one of the phrases from the Finnabair Sentiment Booklet you get in the Mixed Media Kit. I love how this card came out. 

Card #2

For our next card I painted the white cardstock with Black Gesso, while it was wet I used the silicone end to create lines over it and let it dry. Once dried I used a stencil to create the circles and then used a stamp to add in the small dots around the cardstock. 

Next I cut the piece in half once it was dried. I took one of the corners from the pattern paper and tore it around the flowers. I also used one of the cut-apart cards from the Scrapbook Kit. 

I backed up the black gesso piece with a pattern paper from the Scrapbook kit and then adhered the card piece on top. I used a phrase again from the Sentiment Booklet and added a pretty purple ribbon. 

Card #3

For the final card. I chose some stamps from my stash. For the white cardstock I used Black Gesso, but didn't cover the entire white cardstock. I left some white spaces showing. 

I then took my white gesso and stamped images onto the black gesso areas. 

Next I took some pink pigment ink and painted over the white areas very lightly. (the heats and the Love sentiment)

Once I was done I also used a fast drying pigment ink around the card edges. I added in the art stones using the 3D Gloss Gel and then went over them with the pink paint. Added in a key under the flowers I used white gesso and added in the pretty silver broach with flowers bunched in the middle.

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and some inspiration from these beautiful Mixed Media Cards I created using this months January 2024 Mixed Media Kit. I have to say these cards were so fun to create and here is a fantastic way to use your black gesso on your cards. I can't wait to explore more fun ways to used this Mixed Media Kit and share with you all. Thank you all for joining me today. For more details you can view the video tutorial.
