It's A Beautiful Day

Good Day My Crafty Friends, 

I hope you all are having a great day. Have you seen the new February Mixed Media Kit?? If you have it, have you had a chance to play around with all fun things inside? If not well today is the day you might want to play and try some of the fun techniques I share with you. I used a few other items from past kits and I will have the links for them if they are still available. I am so excited to share what I created so let's get busy and have some fun. I have all the links for you throughout this step by step and I have a video tutorial that shares more details. 

February 2025 Mixed Media Kit

To get started on this heart tear a book page into a few pieces and adhere down. If you have the 3D Gloss Gel from January's Mixed Media Kit you can use that to adhere down everything in today's project. I also use the left over book page from the December Scrapbook Kit. 

Next I took some creme and pink acrylic paint and just painted in random strokes around the heart. 

This chipboard piece comes in the February Scrapbook Kit. To create this beautiful paint I mixed the Stamperia Mixed Media medium found in the Mixed Media Kit along with the White Pearl-Ex. Combine these two items together using a 1 to 1 ratio. (view video tutorial for more details) Once done mixing you can apply the mixture on top of the swirl chipboard piece. 

I adhered the silver swirl chipboard across the heart. Next I used the small steampunk clock, painted it using the pink gold pearl-ex adhered it down on top of the swirl. I cut up the square heart that comes in the MM kit. I then used versa mark and applied the pink gold pearl ex on top and use a heat gun to set. I adhered the small heart pieces around the large heart. I used the gilding flakes along with the art stones adhering down with the 3D Gloss Gel. I added in flowers and the "It's A Beautiful Day" sentiment from the scrapbook kit. 

Here is the finished heart and some close up photos for you down below. 

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I really had so much fun creating this mixed media wooden heart. I hope you get to try out some of the techniques and use the fun items in this months Mixed Media Kit.  These would be nice to give for little gifts for friends, family or co-workers.

Tags Of Love

 Hi my crafty friends, 

Today I am sharing my first project using the February 2025 Scrapbook Kit. If you haven't seen the new February Kits you need to check them out they have lots of fun goodies inside. And with that being said, I have a couple of beautiful chipboard tags I created using the Feb. Scrapbook and Mixed Media kit. I have the step by step down below with photos but I also have the video tutorial that shares more details. I have links throughout the post for everything I used. 

Feb. 2025 Scrapbook Kit                                                       Feb. 2025 Mixed Media Kit

                

Tag #1

To start off cover your tag with a piece of pattern paper. I usually place glue on my chipboard tag and then lay the chipboard on top of the pattern paper, burnish down really well and cut out. 

Below I decorated the Love with Key chipboard piece using the rose gold Gilding Flakes from the Mixed Media Kit along with the pink gold Pearl Ex. 

For the gilding flakes you want to use either your glue or you can use 3D gloss gel to adhere the gilding flakes to the chipboard, like I did below on the key portion of the chipboard. 

For the "love" portion I took my modeling paste and mixed in a little of the pearl ex. But first I brushed on textured paste to the "love" portion first. Once that dried I brushed on the pink pearl ex with modeling paste and let dry. Because I wanted it a little more pink I did my versa mark and patted it down on the "love" poured some pearl ex on top of it just a little bit and then heated it to set it. 

Next I adhered on the flowers and the small grapevine heart with my glue gun. I used my glue to adhere the chipboard "love" piece. Next I added some gilding flakes around the tag to give a little bit more interest to the tag and adhered some flat back pearls. 

Here is the finished tag. One thing I did to the pink flowers is I used a little gesso with water mixed, and brushed the mixture on lightly on each flower to lighten them up a bit. I then went over the flowers with stickles. 

Tag #2

For tag #2 cover the front just like we did the for the first tag.

Next cut a piece of 4x4 pattern paper. On my scoreboard I have black line down from the 6 inch I use this as a marker when I need to score something like this or in the middle of something. So line up your corners on the black line or your 6 inch line and score at the 5 inch on all four sides turning your square around. 

Next fold at the score lines and you will cut at the intersected parts of the square. This will give you a small envelope. (as shown below) Also you can view the video tutorial for more details. 

Here are some of the pieces I fussy cut out from the cut apart sheets in the Scrapbook Kit. Once you have your envelope folded up and flaps adhered glue it down on the tag. 

I glued on the small envelope fill it with the hearts. I did use foam tape on the hearts and the rest of the embellishments. I used a piece of seambinding from my stash for the bow. I added in flat back pearls, glued on the paper flowers and used glossy accents to add the shine to the hearts.

I  hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. For more details you can view the video tutorial.

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. 

 For more details you can always view the video tutorial process, which is at the top of the page.
