Magic Moments Photo Book, monthly photo-booklet, Tres Jolie Kit Club

Welcome back, creative besties!

In today's tutorial, we are diving into a beautiful, nature-inspired paper crafting project that is perfect for preserving your favorite family memories using the 2026 June Card, Tag and More Kit. We'll be creating gorgeous, custom-shaped mini photo booklet from scratch, just like the featured one in the photo. This little booklet is the perfect way to showcase your irreplaceable snapshot photos with your loved ones.

2026 June Card, Tag and More Kit

To start out we are going to use this shaped stencil to create a mini photo booklet that will bring a unique dimensional showcase to your photos. 

Using card stock ( 81/2x11) trace the outer edge of the stencil to make a large card, you'll need 4 of these. ****View video for more details****

Then trace card stock using the first line inside the stencil to create 3 small cards.

To create the covers for the front, back and inside trace around the inside larger lines of the stencil onto the pattern paper. Do the same thing to create the covers for the small cards using the 2nd inside line from the small card.****View video for more details****

For one of the larger cards I sewed inside one of the small cards to create a flap. I show this technique and another technique to place your flaps inside the mini photo booklet.

Here is how the pattern paper fits around the large card, leaving a nice border.

Using one of the smaller cards I created a pocket to place journal cards inside.

I have a few photos below of the finished pages with photos. 

Below is one of the smaller cards used as a flap to attach a photo on the outside and inside.

Here is the small card we turned into a pocket. I adhered small photos inside.

Here is the smaller card opened that has photos inside.

This pocket sized keepsake showcases a special day with those special people in your like or a beautiful way to mark a special occasion, whether you are gifting to someone or keeping this for yourself.

Romantic Arch Gatefold Cards for Tres Jolie Kit Club

Hi everyone,

In today's step by step tutorial below, we are crafting three stunning arch-top gatefold cards using the 2026 April Card, Tag and More Kit. These designs feature lush botanical layers, delicate ephemera, and a touch of Victorian elegance - perfect for anniversaries or celebrating those "simple moments" in life.

Below I also have video process tutorial that provides more details.

2026 April Card, Tag and More Kit

Card #1

To start I covered all three gatefold cards by tracing the flaps onto the pattern paper. I did the same for coving the inside of the cards as well. 

Once you have all your pieces cut adhere them down. 

Here is the inside of the card covered. 

For card #1 - fussy cut two of tags out and on the one with the floral images I place foam tape on the back, adhered to the other tag. I then adhered this to the middle but only place adhesive to the edges as to leave the middle opened so a large flowers (fussy cut) can fit underneath the tag as a closure.

Below is the large flower I fussy cut and adhered on the right flap leaving a bit overhang so it will fit under the inside gap of the tag.

Card #2

I created a belly band by taking a 1 inch piece of pattern paper wrapping it around the card, adhering the straps together to create a band to slip over the card and then trimming it down.

Next I fussy cut out the elements from the cut-apart page. The filagree and the paper flower on the left and right hand side along with the beautiful man & lady image. Added some stickles to the middle image and stamped "Happy Anniversary" added it below the image. I then added the gold corners from the kit.

Card #3 

I added some flowers and a butterfly I fussy cut after I adhered on the pattern paper.

On the butterfly I did some foam tape to back to raise it up a bit with the flowers. 

I added one of the cut-apart cards a little off to it would tuck under the flowers.

**for more details please view video tutorial***

Here is what the finished card looks like. I did add the pinks button from my stash.

Fun PopUp on Inside of Cards

To create the popup mechanism cut how ever many you would like to have in each card.

I did two inside one card and one in another card.

Cut your cardstock at 1 x4; Score at 1,2,3 inches

On one of the ends place adhesive, lay flat next the score line, (as shown below). Then fold over the left side flap on top of the strip.

Now it will be adhered to the left side of the flap. (as shown below)

Now you can adhere your image to 2 square, middle square. That leaves two squares. 

Fold both squares over behind the image and place adhesive to the last (end) square.

Fold over the flap.

And now you have your pop up mechanism. 

You can do this on all your cards or you can do this technique on a few.

Here are a few photos of the inside of the cards. 

I hope you found some inspiration from today's project. The techniques in this cardmaking tutorial will help you add incredible depth and texture to your cards, scrapbook layouts or other paper crafts.

Fun Pocket Shaker Cards for Tres Jolie

 Welcome Back!

So happy you're here with me today as we create three fun and beautiful cards and two shaker cards with this wonderful Card Kit for January 2026. I have the step by step below and the process video tutorial linked right here for you. I also have the Card Kit linked as well.

2026 January Card, Tag and More Kit

To begin punch out the two pockets with the hearts in the middle from the paper collection. Then cut out 4 acetate pieces 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches. Glue one acetate piece inside each of the little pockets. These pockets are going to be shakers. 

Next fold and glue down the flaps. 

Next place foam strips along the edge of the pockets. I did a double layer of foam strips.

After you place down the foam strips add your shaker bits and then lay 

the second piece of acetate on top of the foam strips.

For the second pocket I added foam strips around the heart. Then added the shaker bits and then adhere down the second acetate on top of the foam strips. 

Cut 2 pieces of scrap pattern paper 3x3, Score 3/8 inches left, right and bottom. 

Then where the two score lines intersect cut the diagonally to form a pocket.

Then fold the in the scored flaps and turn over and place glue on the backside of the pocket. 

Place glue on the flaps of the pocket

Adhere the pocket onto the front of the card.

Card 1

Here is the first card finished with the pocket. I cut out tag from the cut a-part sheet and placed it inside the pocket. I also added in the flowers from the card kit and added in the flat back purple gems along the top of the card. The ribbon is from my stash.

Card 2

For the second shaker pocket you will use the second piece of pattern paper that is 3x3, Score 3/8 inches left, right and bottom. Then where the two score lines intersect cut the diagonally to form a pocket, glue the back and adhere on the acetate and then add glue to the flaps.

Adhere the heart shaker pocket down on the front of the card.

Here is the second card. I cut out a tag from the cut a-part page and added flowers to the front and back. I also added some purple ribbon from my stash to the front of the card.         I used one of the little banners with a sentiment and placed across the front of the card. 

Card 3

For card #3 I punched out one of the small envelopes and then cut out a tag and then I placed one of the smaller cards inside the envelope. I also added the purple gems around the scalloped sentiment and the small tags. 

With Card 3 I adhered the little envelop on top of the card along with flowers from my stash.

Here are all three cards together.

I hope you found some inspiration to use the 2026 January Card, Tag and More Kit. This kit has so much wonderful things inside and you can super creative making these cards, tags, and the journal using the stencil that comes inside the kit. 

I hope you you found this month Tres Jolie Christmas themed Kits a great way to create some cards, albums, scrapbook pages and more. I know we had fun sharing our projects with you all this year.
