Easy Mixed Media Layered Cards for Tres Jolie Kit Club

Hello My Creative Friends! 

Welcome back to another fantastic Mixed Media Project for the month of June. With this project we are using a portion of all three of the 2026 June Kits from Tres Jolie. We will be having fun with the solar paste's, using the gorgeous botanical design papers along with layering the mixed media items we create. These dimensional cards give a shabby chic look with deep, vibrant jewel tones which will give a little inspiration to everyone! I have the step by step tutorial down below, and the video tutorial for you as well.

           2026 June Card, Tag and More Kit

Card #1

To begin we will be tracing around the outside of the stencil. This will create our card base. 

Next trace the smaller card but the first line around. Next cut both out.

To create the mats, trace the second line from the inside to form the mat for the larger card and the second line from the inside for the smaller card mat.

Next adhere the mats to both cards. Then fold the smaller card up and glue down the left and right side to create a small pocket to adhere to the front of the card as shown below. In the photo below I cut out two of each of the dies. I then added the solar paste deep end and royal flush to black cardstock and placed the small hearts on to cut them out. Adhere the small hearts to the dies.

Next I took the "Thank You" chipboard and applied the solar past royal flush to the words and the deep end to the scrolls. ( I did not apply any gesso to the chipboard piece)

Here is the finished card. 

Card #2

Again trace around the outside of the stencil on the purple 12x12 cardstock from the card kit.  This creates our card base, next trace the second line from the inside to create our mat. You will only need half of the card mat traced.

Next take the black cardstock mat we just cut out. Use a stencil to apply solar paste's around. I used the royal flush first and applied to various areas, then used deep end and applied that to the other areas.

Once you're done take off the stencil and let dry for a minute, it doesn't take long. You will have a beautiful array of colors and it will show a different in color in the light when turned a different way.

To finish off the card I decorated with the June Card Kit flowers and then added a sentiment from the Paper Rose's paper collection.

Card #3

For our last card take the solar paste's and apply then to a piece of black card stock and in different areas.

Next use an embossing folder to emboss the cardstock. Below this is what your cardstock should look like. These solar paste's make terrific backgrounds and just really add a beautiful vibrant look to the cards. 

Next I cut my design papers and layered them. I did use foam tape on the floral and embossed papers.

Next I used some of the flowers, frames and ephemera from the June Scrapbook Kit.

I did add some white splatters to the card.

Here is the finished card. 

Creating these dimensional cards gives a shabby chic look with deep, vibrant jewel tones that anyone would love to receive. We created textures combined with layered frames and used stenciling to create dark backgrounds with rich blues and purples. I hope you enjoyed the techniques in today's step by step tutorial, I know I enjoyed sharing these with you.

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.
