 Hi Crafting Friends,

June 2025 Mixed Media Kit June 2025 Card, Tag and More Kit
     




To get started Cover the circle canvas with the vintage rose paper. Then cut off the excess.


Next I used a chipboard frame from Tres Jolie shop and adhered it over the little cherub on the other vintage decoupage paper. 


Next cut around the frame and cut the excess off from the backside of the frame.


Next I added paint around the edges of the canvas and the top. I also dabbed some paint on top of the frame and dabbed a bit of Nuvo Sparkle Spray on the frame sporadically. I added a lace to go under the frame and across the right side of the canvas. I cut some roses from the bouquet that is in the kit and adhered them down next to the chipboard frame.


Next I took the Swirl butterfly chipboard and cut them in apart. I painted the butterflies pink and sprinkled some crystal glitter on top and for the swirl I used the root beer reactive ink painted on. For the cloud word "love" I painted that with the pink paint from the Mixed Media Kit.
I also added glossy accents to the top of the little cherub image and the cloud word "love". I then added some words, little fairy girl and the deer from the card kit placed the on top of the canvas.

Next I tore part of the scrap from the rose paper we used from the canvas and I adhered it to the chipboard tag. 


Next I used the paint and stencil from the kit and dabbed the paint on top of the tag. 


After the paint on the chipboard dried, I placed a drop of the reactive ink in a small cut and added water and painted the mixture on top of the chipboard. 


Next I painted these diamond chipboard pieces with the stamperia paint from the Mixed Media Kit. I added some Nuvo sparkle spray on top of the tag and I dabbed a little bit on top of the diamond chipboard piece. I also sprayed the remaining swirl butterfly chipboard with the Nuvo sparkle spray and adhered them to the tag and then placed flowers down.


I painted the other circle word "laugh" and placed down in between the flowers.


Here are some close ups of the canvas and tag.

Today Is The Day, Enjoy Magic Moments

 Hi everyone, 

Today is my last project for the month of May using the May 2025 Kits for this month. For this project I used the Scrapbook Kit along with the Mixed Media Kit using a few chipboard pieces from the Tres Jolie Shop Butterfly chipboard, Large Tag, Ivy Leaves, Circle Words, and the Mini Flower Border. All of these are available in the Tres Jolie Shop. As always I have the step by step tutorial below as well as the video tutorial. Below I have the Links throughout the tutorial. 


                May 2025 Scrapbook Kit                                           May 2025 Mixed Media Kit

                


To begin out project you will want to gesso your art journal page or canvas.


After the gesso is applied and dried you can sprinkle the alcohol ink on the page and then add on the your alcohol ink blending solution or you can also use isopropyl alcohol to blend your inks around. 
I used the isopropyl alcohol on my journal page. 


To mixed my alcohol inks I used my heat gun. Then applied the inks again and repeated the same steps until I reached the look I wanted on the journal page. 


After I have the journal the way I wanted I took a paper towel and blotted the ink. 


Once the page is dried I used a stencil and mixed modeling paste with the Intense alcohol ink. 
Let this dry.


While the page is drying you can paint or color the chipboard pieces. 
For this Vine chipboard piece I used the alcohol inks right on top of the chipboard pieces, these pieces are not applied with gesso. I used a brown marker to color in the vine part. 
*****For more details you can refer to the video tutorial*****


I have close up photos of the page once its done. 
This picture is of the lower left side. I covered the large chipboard tag with scrapbook paper and used the mini flower boarder along with the chipboard circle word "today". The Ivy is leaning on the large tag but is actually adhered to the flowers inside the large frame. 


For this large frame that is on the lower right hand side of the page. From the Scrapbook Kit I fussy cut out the rose and added foam tape behind it so it pops out of the frame. 


This photo is the upper left side of the page. I used pattern paper behind the small frame and used some flowers from the Scrapbook Kit. I also used a small circle frame to have focal point of the flower placing some glossy accents on top. 


This photo is a close up of the right upper page. For this part I used a chipboard butterfly colored in with the scorch alcohol ink and brown marker. I used some art stones that were covered with the intense alcohol inks. For my sentiment I used this from my stash from the January Mixed Media Kit. 


Here is a photo of the full page all finished. 



I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and are inspired to create a journal page or canvas using this tutorial and some of the techniques I shared with you. I really enjoy creating the monthly art journal page using the Tres Jolie Kits.

Hello Beautiful Tiered Card and More for Tres Jolie

 Hi My Crafty Friends, 

Have you seen the new Tiered Cards from Tres Jolie? Well if you haven't we are going to use one and decorate it using the May 2025 Scrapbook Kit. We have 3 fun and easy cards we're going to create today. An easel card and a Happy Birthday card using the one of the new Word chipboard pieces. I have a step by step tutorial below but I also have the video tutorial here for you as well. Links to all the products will be within the blog so just click on the words and you'll be directed to the Tres Jolie Shop. 



May 2025 Scrapbook Kit                                                             Tiered Card

   


Card #1 Tiered Card
When you receive your tiered card score 1/2 inch on one end and 
score the middle of each long piece. 


Next trace the black chipboard pieces, cut out 6 for each size to cover the front and back. 

After you are done adhering all the pattern paper or cardstock to your pieces adhere the chipboard pieces to the 1/2 inch tab with the fold side down as shown below. 

Next adhere the larger tiered piece to the center of the large base chipboard piece.

The for the middle piece and small piece of the tiered cards adhere them to meet the edge of the large piece you just adhered down to middle of the base. 

Here is a side view of the card, so the 1/2 inch tabs should be facing down so the tiers fall on top of one another. Next you can decorate your card. 


For my Tiered card I used the leaf vine chipboard piece  and roses chipboard piece. I used clear gesso on them first then used my inks to color them. For the vine part I used a brown marker. I cut the rose chipboard and used it around the card. I also used the stamp set from the May 2024 Card Kit for my sentiment. To finish the bottom I used the flowers from the May 2025 Scrapbook Kit.

 


Card #2 Easel Card

Cut 2 pieces at 6x6 and 1 piece at 6 1/2 x 6. Score a 1/2 inch on the 6 1/2 inch side. The card should measure 6x6. 


Once your card is put together score a diagonal line on the front flap of the card from edge to edge.


 Place adhesive on bottom right hand portion and place the extra 6x6 cardstock on top of the adhesive. **As shown below**

The easel card should stand like the picture below. 

Next I took the both pattern papers with the roses in the middle and placed one on the front with adhered to gold foil cardstock from my stash.  


The second sheet I fussy cut out the middle rose image and placed it inside and over one of the large frames from the Scrapbook kit. Adhere this on top of the rose image that is already on the front of the card. It will give it a 3D look. 


Next I took an oval from and placed it on the right hand bottom corner, fussy cut out a rose and added my own sentiment in the middle of the frame. This will help hold you easel in place when standing up.

Here is the finished card. I did matte the inside and backside of the card.



Card #3 Happy Birthday Card

To get started I used one of the chipboard words and colored it with a black marker. 

Next I used my xacto knife to cut around half of the flower so my frame will fit under the flower.l


I used the circle frame and adhered only the portion that fits under the flower, the other part of the frame I placed foam tape underneath. 


Next I adhered my chipboard word "happy" and my sentiment on top of the frame and used stickles to give a little sparkle to the card.


Here is the finished card. Super easy to create. Just a few things and it looks perfect to give to a friend or family member for their birthday.


I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I enjoyed creating these fun interactive card for you. I hop you found the tiered card exciting and something you can try out for your next project. You can always post your projects on Tres Jolie FB page - Tres Jolie Club Cafe.
