Christmas Time Printers Tray for Tres Jolie

Hi everyone,

I created a Christmas printers tray using the 2025 December Mixed Media Kit along with the 2025 December Scrapbooking Kit along with using red and green paints from the 2025 August Mixed Media Kit (available). This makes such a fun and festive home decor for Christmas. I hope you enjoy the step by step tutorial as well as the video tutorial. I have all the links down below for your convenience.

2025 August Mixed Media Kit (available)

First I painted the holly & bells chipboard pieces using the 2025 August Mixed Media Kit paint. Set aside to dry, then cam back in to paint the little markings in gold using a toothpick.

The chipboard clock I used the Distress Oxide Spray Walnut Stain and painted the numerals with gold paint using a toothpick.

I did add stickels on top of the painted red berries for a bit of sparkle. I just love how the chipboard pieces turned out.

Here I added a trimmed ephemera piece to the center of the clock once dried. And I added a holly & berry along side the clock.

In the center of the frame you see the frame I painted gold, this frame is from the 2025 November Scrapbook Kit. Also painted the bells gold and holly and berries.

To get started adhere the a pattern paper from the Scrapbook Kit to the base platform from the printers tray.

Next spray frame with the Distress Oxide Stain Walnut Stain.

Then add water to the Mica bottle halfway, shake. Then get a paper towel and place some mica on it and rub along the top of the frame.

Adhere the frame to the top of the platform.

Once you have your frame on there you can start decorating. I added the 3 of the little Santa cards together and a tree I added thick cardboard on the back of the tree. I also added faux snow to a few of the framed areas.

On the right hand side I added the some velvet ribbon I had in my stash, and I adhered the silver medal snowflake pieces to the framed area. I flatted out the back of the tree and adhered down with hot glue and added thick cardboard to the back of the snowman and adhere down on the faux snow.

Here is the finished frame.

I just love how this Printers Tray turned out, it makes a wonderful festive and beautiful Christmas Home Decor. You can definitely hang this up or place on a shelf or mantel.
