Venetian Shutter In Bloom with Mini Booklet for Tres Jolie

 Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing my last project for the month of July using the Scrapbooking kit along with the Mixed Media Kit. I just love how this beautiful House with venetian shutter turned out. It looks like a flower garden is just busting out of the window. I have links down below for you. I hope you enjoy this video tutorial as well as the step by step down below.


July Mixed Media Kit July Scrapbooking Kit
  



To start this project cover the wooden house with one of the pattern papers from the scrapbook kit. I covered the front and back. First I applied my adhesive laid down the pattern paper and burnished down and cut around the the house. This was the easiest way to cover the wooden house. 
Then adhere down the venetian shutter to the front of your wooden house. I added little door knobs from my stash. 


Next I opened the white packet of flowers from the Scrapbook Kit. 
First I applied the texture paste onto the flowers and then used a small paint brush to brush on the pearl ex powder very lightly onto each flower. I used the yellow and pink salmon pearl ex colors found in the Mixed Media Kit. 


Here is what the yellow flower looked like once I was done. You can do all your flowers like this or just a few. 


Next we are creating a small mini booklet to adhere to the back of the house. I have the measurements below. For the 1 - 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 one you can cut two or just use one. 


For the long strips once they are scored at 6 inches fold in half. 
Then with one of the pieces 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pieces scored at 1/2 inch place adhesive to the 1/2 inch flap and adhere that to the 1/2 inch flap to the fold of one of the long strips that are folded in half.


Next on the back of each long strip that is folded in half place adhesive to the back and adhere the back to the front of each one to create a booklet. (View Video Tutorial for more details)


Once you have the booklet together take the little strip that is 1 3/4 inches and score at 1 1/2 inches adhere the 1 1/2 inch to the back of the last page. Next use two magnets and adhere one to the inside of the closure and the other to the front page of the booklet. Adhere the booklet to back of the house in middle, as shown below. 


Now you can decorate your your booklet. For more details on how I decorated my pages you can view the video tutorial. I do have a few pictures below.


Here is the front of the booklet. 


Here is one of the cut-a-parts I cut out the middle part of the frame and made it into an open frame to place a photo inside. 


Here is a page, I used a little cut-a-part card to create a tuck spot and place some other small cards inside. 


Now for the front I added some flower grass inside the venetian shutter and used hot glue to adhere all the flowers down. 


Here is the finished photo of the front of the house. 



I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial, remember I have the video tutorial for your convenience. I had so much fun creating this beautiful piece using the venetian shutter and the pearl ex from the July Mixed Media Kit and then using the beautiful Ciao Bella Bloom paper collection to finish it off along with fussy cutting those beautiful butterflies. I hope you found this inspirational.

Mini Cards, Tags & More Inspiration

 Hi everyone, 

Today I created some items you can create using the scraps from the July Card, Tag and More Kit. Everything I created is using up those cardstock scraps and pattern paper scraps and using the metal die that comes in the kit. I have the links below for the July Card Kit and the video tutorial as well. 


July 2024 Card, Tag and More Kit 



Let's get started  So to begin grab scraps of cardstock around 2 to 3 inches by 8 or 9 inches. Next grab you Card Kit pattern paper scraps. 

To begin I decided to create a handmade envelop I have the measurements down below for you. 

Next cut the bottom left and right rectangular 1/2 inch pieces below the 4 inch score line. Then cut the top rectangular 1/2 inch pieces on the left and right. As shown below, burnish all the score lines in and place tape or adhesive on the 1/2 inch flaps and fold the large piece up and adhere. 


Next I created a large tag to go inside the envelop. This tag is made from scrap pieces from the card kit. the tag measures 2 3/4 x 6 5/8 inches from top to bottom. 
I used the corner metal die to cut into one of the pattern papers on the top and bottom so I can slide a gift card inside. 


Here are the finished Gift Tag and Envelop. 


Throughout the video I used scraps to create small cards and tags using the rest of the scraps from the card kit. I matched my card stock scraps to the pattern paper scraps I had from left over from the kit. 

Here is one of the little cards I finished using the scallop oval and and punched an oval and decorated using the flower and pattern paper from the kit. I also punched a little butterfly using the pattern paper from the Card Kit. 


For this card I used the last large piece of pattern paper from the Card kit and placed some ribbon on it along with using some ribbon from my stash. To secure the ribbon and bow I placed adhesive glue dots behind the ribbon and bow as well as added a few to the inside of the card. 


 Here is a photo of all the little gift tags and mini cards I created using the rest of the Car, Tag and More Kit scraps along with cardstock scraps and other items from my stash.

Easy Card Box Holder for Tres Jolie

 Hi everyone, 

It's Deb here sharing a really easy project using the Tres Jolie July Card Tag and More Kit. I also brought a a few items from the Scrapbooking Kit. I hope you enjoy today's project. I have the step by step tutorial down below as well the video tutorial for you. I have the links and photos below for you to check out both kits, just click the link and it take you directly to the Tres Jolie Shop. 


              Card, Tag and More Kit                                    Scrapbooking Kit

   

To start out you will use the largest card in the card kit. With the 11 3/4 inch card across the scoreboard Score at 3/4, 5 3/8, 6 3/8 and 10 7/8 inches. 


Turn to the 8 1/4 inch side across the scoreboard, score at 1 and 7 3/8 inches. 


Next fold the 5 3/8 inch score line and fold it back towards the flap, do this for all 4 areas.


See below as the folded part folds on to the same side towards the same scored line. 


You should have a little fold as shown below.

Down below is how all 4 areas should look. You can see video tutorial to follow along.



Next adhere down the flaps. Only the middle section, do not place adhesive past the first score line on the right or left side as this closure area and it will not close if adhered.


Next punch one of the top flaps with rounded corners. Only one side as that side will fit into the rectangular flap. 

For the chipboard leaf vines I used a lt. green and dark green gelato to color them and inked a bit of the grape fruit around them. I added glossy accents to them, set aside to dry. 

I did use the Bee Honey comb wreath using my gelatos to color around it and added glossy accents to them, set aside to dry. 

Here I wanted share with you how the metal dies work. These are so neat as you can place a card that tucks underneath the border. 

I adhered the pretty polka dot pattern paper with an area for my sentiment inside the card. 


Look how wonderful these all turned out. I just love the card box holder. I like that this paper gives you space to stamp a sentiment on it. And I like how everything coordinates well together. One think I would like to say is to not add a lot of bulk to your cards as you will not be able to get many inside and the box may not close very tight. 
I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial, remember I have the video tutorial for your convenience. I had a great time using the Card, Tag and More Kit along with the Chipboard Bee Honey Comb Wreath and a few of the white flowers from the Scrapbook Kit. 
 For more details you can always view the video tutorial process, which is at the top of the page.
