DIY Stationery For Everyday Moments.

 Hi everyone, 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Today I have another fun crafty project for you using the December Scrapbook Kit along with some items from the December Card, Tag, and More Kit. I have the links below for you for both kits. I also have a video tutorial for you as well as the step by step down below. 

December Scrapbook Kit                                             December Card, Tag, and More Kit

To start our Stationery Book, cut one piece of cardstock at 12 x 9 1/4 inches and one piece of cardstock at 4 x 9 1/4 inches. 

Next place 1/2 inch tape on the right side edge of the paper. 

Attach the 4 x 9 1/4 inch piece to the tape. 

Next to create your spine fold your piece of paper in half and place the crease on the 6 inch spot of the scoreboard. Then score at 5 1/4 and 6 3/4 inches. Burnish down the score lines and you should a spine  just like the photo below. 

Now we are going to create a pocket to hold journals, cards, envelopes, large tags or notepads. Cut one piece of cardstock at 8 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches.  With the 8 1/4 inch across the score board score 1 inch on the left side and right side. Turn the paper to the 9 1/4 inch side across the scoreboard and score at 3 and 4 inches. 

On the left and right side where the you scored the at 3 and 4 inches are little squares cut a slit to the first score line as shown below.  These are little tabs that will fold in to form our pocket. 

Now burnish down all the score lines. Next fold the bottom up and adhere the small tabs into the long tabs. You should have a pocket just like the photo below. ***(You can also watch the video to get more details.)

Now you can use your pattern paper to cover the inside and the pocket we created. ***(You can also watch the video to get more details.)

Before covering the front and back of the Stationery Book adhere down some lace or ribbon for your closure. 

Here is the book covered. 

To create the pen holder cut a piece of cardstock at 3 1/2 x 5, Score at 1/2 inch and at 1 inch on the left and right side, turn to the 5 inch laying across the score board and score at 1/2 inch and 1 inch. 

Next cut off the 3 corner squares and the cut a small slit up to the first score line in between the long tab and the small square tab. Burnish all the score lines and adhere the small tab inward to the long tabs and the small rectangle one on the bottom folds up.  ***(You can also watch the video to get more details.)

Burnish all the score lines and adhere the small tab inward to the long tabs, then adhere the small rectangle one on the bottom folds up.  ***(You can also watch the video to get more details.)

Next create two small pockets, these will go on the left side of the Stationery Book.

Cut two pieces of cardstock at 2 1/4 x 5, score 1/2 inch on left, right side turn and score 1/2 inch down. Burnish all the score lines down. And you can cover with pattern paper. 

Here is how you lay down the pen holder and the two small pockets.

Here is what the left side looks like all finished. 

Here is what the inside looks like when opened up 

Inside I placed two cards which were from the Card Kit. I used the Scrapbook paper to decorate them. 

I had a couple of small paper journals in my stash. I covered and decorated them. 

Here is the finished front of the Stationery Book. 

I hope you received some inspiration from this Stationery Book I created. I had fun creating this and you can definitely add on and use it to hold various items. This even good to give as a gift.

Tres Jolie - Vintage Journal - Be Yourself

 Hi Crafty Friends, 

Today I wanted to share a really nice tiny journal you an create using the December Card, Tag and More Kit by Tres Jolie. I love how this turned out. It's definitely got some spaces for journaling, adding small photos and other memorabilia. I hope you enjoy today's tutorial below I have a step by step for you to start the tiny journal but I have more details with my video tutorial. 

December Card, Tag and More Kit

To start off I used the tiny journal from the April Card Kit. I inked all outside and inked the edges of all the pages using vintage photo ink. 

Next I tore my pattern paper into strips and distressed the edges and inked them. Then adhered them on. I thought this was a unique way to add some creativity to the outside cove to our journal. 

I both the front and back of the journal like this. 

Next I cut all my pattern papers at 4x4 inches there are 14 pieces in all and ink the edges. 

Next I started adding the Stamperia chipboard pieces onto the pages. Please view the video tutorial for more details in how I decorated each page. 

With this bookcases piece I added foam tape to the back so it actually becomes a pocket. 

Here is the finished Vintage Journal. Down below I have photos of how I decorated each page. And don't forget the video tutorial has more details. 

The booklet that is in the chipboard pocket is created with a 8 x 3 1/2 inch pattern paper and has lined paper inside that is sewn together. I adhered the lace for a closure. 

This booklet measures 7 x 3 1/2 inches has the lace adhered for a closure and I painted the metal leaf with bronze stain and added the white flower with leaves from the December Scrapbook Kit,  I also added one of the embossed stickers that comes in the kit. I attached this booklet to the page and inside it has a sticky note pad. 

This pocket is created using the post card paper and I cut a straight line across leaving a 1/4 inch on each side. Decorated with a gold embossed leaf from the project before, a chipboard lock piece and the embossed stickers from the kit. 

This pocket is a torn on the edge and inked. It measures 5 x 3 inches and scored 1/2 inch on the right and left side of the 5 inch side and 1/2 inch down the 3 inch side, fold under and adhere the flaps down to the page to create a pocket. 

I hope you received some inspiration from this Vintage Journal. I like that it has lots of areas for journaling and you can add in more flaps or extras if you'd like. You can journal, keep memorabilia inside and display photos inside as well. 

Thank you all for joining me today. For more details you can view the video tutorial.

Happiness is Alterego Tag & Card using Tres Jolie Card Kit

 Good Morning everyone, 

Today I have a couple of fun and simple projects for you to create using the December Card, Tag and More Kit. I have the links down below for you and a video tutorial. I hope you enjoy these simple and elegant projects. 

December Card, Tag and More Kit

To begin get some scraps together and we are going to place them to create our own background. 

Here is what the background looks like after I adhered down my scraps. I placed down one of the chipboard pieces in the lower right hand corner. 

Next I added the bunny couple adhering it down by using some foam strips. 

I had this pretty chipboard leaf vine in my stash from Tres Jolie chipboard shop and embossed it in gold. Then cut it to add it in various places around the tag. 

I adhered the Happiness chipboard piece on top. 

And that is all. Now you are finished. 

#2 Happy Birthday Tag Card

For this Tag Card you are going to trace one of the chipboard tags on a pattern piece of paper and cut out. Then trace that piece 3 more times to create 4 panels. 

Next cut a 1 inch strip and score at 1/2 inch to fold in half. 

Cover the front and back of the chipboard tags.

To decorate the tag I embossed the Happy Birthday in Black using the Uniquely Creative stamp set from a past kit. Then I cut the large clock from the chipboard set in half and adhered it down. I loved the dog coffee cup and place foam tape on the back to give a little lift and added some of the pretty chipboard leaves around the top. And that's all, we are done. You can add more of your sentiment inside the card. 

Here are photos below on the finished projects. 

I hope you received some inspiration from the simple Tag and Tag Card. I really like how both of these Tags turned out. Both were simple to make and done in a matter of minutes.  Head over to shop to grab your December Card, Tag and More Kit , this kit can be used for so many other crafting projects.

Simple For You Vintage Cards

 Hello Crafty Peeps, 

I hope you all had a wonder weekend. Today I used the new December Card, Tag, and More Kit to create these super cute cards. I love this kit as it has a ton of chipboard pieces to create some really nice cards, tags and other things, you definitely don't have to worry about running out of them. I have the links throughout the step by step tutorial and I have a video tutorial for you as well. I hope you are inspired by these simple vintage cards.

December 2024 Card, Tag and More Kit

To start with card #1. I tore a piece of the blue colored pattern paper off and adhered it to the another piece of this gorgeous pattern paper. I really like this paper as it has a wonderful vintage vibe.  Then I inked the edges with vintage photo ink. Adhere the panel to the card bas. 

Next I placed gesso on the metal feather, set aside to let dry. 

Once it's dried I used tarnished brass to paint over the feather. 

I used one of the stickers and painted it with the tarnished brass paint. Let dry for a bit. 

For the beautiful chipboard clock I sprayed with my vintage photo spray and set aside to dry or you can use a heat gun to dry it but do not get close. 

Next I adhered everything together. For more details you can visit the video tutorial linked above. 

Card #2.

For this card i used a gold card stock and adhered one of the alterego pattern papers to the top and then adhered the panel to the card base. 

Next I added foam tape tot he oval frame 

Next I placed the little mouse inside the frame, added some of the flat back pearls around the frame and adhered the lace on the side. This turned out so adorable. 

Here is a photo of bother cards, so simple and easy using some wonderful techniques as well. I did add the For You chipboard ephemera to the bottom of each card. These would make perfect cards to go with any gift or send to any family or friends. 

I hope you received some inspiration from these simple vintage cards. I love creating cards for people to brighten up their day.  Head over to shop to grab your Card, Tag and More Kit , this kit can be used for so many other crafting projects.
