Blooms & Butterflies Easter Layout for Tres Jolie

Hi Everybody,

Join me as I document a beautiful family Easter filled with sunshine and smiles! In today's layout, I'm working with the 2026 Scrapbook Kit from Tres Jolie. I'm using a soft, vintage garden palette to frame our favorite egg hunt moments. I've focused on creating a whimsical "shabby chic " atmosphere by layering large floral ephemera, delicate, butterflies, and rustic wooden-style frames. I used a circular butterfly wreath to anchor the family portraits on the first page, and a playful garden fence detail to ground the action shots of the kids on the second. I hope you get some great inspiration from today's project.

I have the video tutorial below for your convenience and the step-by-step tutorial below.

2026 Scrapbook Kit

To get started I pulled out one of chipboard fences from the kit and inked with Walnut stain.

Next I did the same with the butterfly wreath. I left the back chipboard piece plain.

Next adhere the back and front piece together. 

I then used my liquid pearls from my stash and started applying the liquid pearls inside each area of the butterflies. Let dry for a bit. It may have some cracking but just fill again and do the process over until the the cracking stops. Let the liquid pearls stand just a little bit in between applications. 

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

Here is what the butterfly looks like once finished. I did the same for the other butterfly above.

I adhered the wreath down onto one of the pattern papers from the April Scrapbook Kit. I also adhered some of the paper flowers down as well. I am loving the look of the butterfly wreath.

Next I used the two wooden paper frames left over from the kit (as the others were used in a previous layout). Added my photos from this years family Easter gathering. I did apply foam tape (double it) behind the photos. ***view video tutorial for more details***

For the second layout. I added the chipboard fence below and then added some paper eggs around the fence from my stash. 

I then arranged my photos how I wanted them to look. I like my photos a little wonky, (lol).

Here is a photo of the first layout we did using the chipboard wreath decorated with the liquid pearls. I finished it off with fussy cutting some of the leaves, flowers inside the wreath and the bird house. On the bottom I used the flower planter as a holder for my sentiment. The little easter eggs are from my stash.

Here is the second layout. I used some of the remaining paper flowers and leaves. Arranged the photos and adhered my sentiment in the middle along with some ephemera from my stash. I love the wooden chipboard fence I think it adds a nice touch to the backyard vibe of the kids hunting for eggs. 

 I hope you found some inspiration from today's project. Try out the new technique I shared using liquid pearls inside the chipboard area of the butterfly wreath I know you'll love it.

Wishing you all a great Crafty Day.

Part 1 Canvas

To start we are going to use the February Mixed Media Kit. Take the Perfect Pigments Pink Sapphire add some water and then stipple of the mixture on top of your entire canvas. (make the paint a little thick so it will stipple and have some texture.)

Next choose which rice paper you would like to place on top of the canvas and add water around the edges and tear gently away. Once you have the desired look for it fit on top of the canvas use the Paint Couture white flexible paste to adhere on.

Next I inked the around the canvas & rice paper with using Memento Gray Flannel ink. I then adhered down the gilding flakes using the Paint Couture Past from the Mixed Media Kit and I also used some past from Stamperia from a previous Kit, both work great.

I also used the chipboard kit painted with the perfect pigment pink sapphire and added some gilding flakes to it. I then used some of the flowers and the fussy cut some of the pretty ephemera pieces from the February Scrapbook Kit.

Then adhere the canvas to the top of the Mini Album cover.

Indigo Bloom Flip Book for Tres Jolie

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing my version of the Square Flip Book found in August 2025 Card Kit. I am super excited to share with you a different version you can create. I hope you enjoy the video tutorial. Check out the links below to get your Card, Tag, and More Kit. I also have a link to the cute chipboard stamps down below for you.

August 2025 Card, Tag and More Kit                                  Chipboard Tickets

         

      

To start out place magnets inside the inner flap to the top and bottom. 

****View video tutorial for details*****

Next cover the oval portion of the frame and then glue the oval back inside the frame. 

After the frame dries adhere only the top portion of the frame to the bottom of the flap. (as seen below)

****View video tutorial for details*****

Next I added ephemera to the cover that comes in the kit. I also used some chipboard tickets (link above) from the Tres Jolie Shop on top of the paper tickets. I really like how this turned out. 

When you get your Flip Book in the Card Kit, there is an accordion piece. I decided to cut this in half and adhere hinges on the back of  each piece. 

To add a hinge take a 1 inch piece of white cardstock, score at 1/2 inch. Then adhere the folded portion to the fold of the card piece (as shown below) cut off excess. Now do the same to other half of the accordion we cut. 

Now you should have a 1/2 inch flap, as shown below. Adhesive to outside of this flap. 

Adhere on in the middle portion of the flip book. Now do this with the other card part by adhering the 1/2inch hinge to the fold. ****View video tutorial for details*****

Now you should have a double flaps as shown below. You can add photos on these or use then for journaling. For more details you can view the video tutorial if needed. 

Now you can decorate, measure your book pages and cut out your pattern papers. I a few photos below to help with inspiration. You can always watch my video tutorial.

Below is the first opening of the book. 

This portion is the middle part of the book with the side flaps opened.

Here is the inside middle part with the two flaps we created hinges for on either side. 

Here is a photo of the book opened. The middle page is the pocket I recreated using the  instruction from the booklet in that comes with the Flip Book. The left and right side are photo mats along with the flower ephemera and sentiments.  The bottom page I used a little ephemera flower as a tuck spot. 

Here is the cover all decorated using the chipboard frame along with the chipboard tickets. 

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I had a great time created this Square Flip Book and sharing another way you can create this book to hold your special photos.
