For todays layout I pulled in many elements from all 3 fabulous kits from the March 2024 lineup.
I took the stencil butter and stamp and created some fun texture in the top right and bottom left corners of the layout.
The fun faux pocket watches I turned into some fun faux shaker pockets along with the laser cut keys which I covered in more stencil butter to create even more dimension and texture to this layout.
Creating a shelf out of gold lace ribbon for my entire photo cluster to sit on I also anchored with with the beautiful prima floral.
A few fussy cut pieces tucked here and there and this layout finished itself.
]]>Hi Jennifer here sharing my final layout of the month. This will also be my final project for Tres Jolie Kit Club as I am choosing to step away from the design team.
I used this beautiful photo of my niece and her husband. I fussy cut lots of embellishments from the papers the butterflies, flowers, clocks. I added gold sequins from my stash and thickers to create my title.
Today I will be sharing some shabby chic cards I created using the new March 2024 Card Tag and More Kit from Tres Jolie. I also have a video tutorial for you to follow if you would like more details on how I put together each individual card.
Here is a photo of the cards I created.
Here is the supplies I used to create the cards. March Card, Tag and More Kit.
Card #1
For our first card you will cut a cardstock mat at 5 1/4 x 4 and the pattern paper mat at 5 x 3 3/4. For my mats I used a rose gold foil cut 5 1/4 x 4 inches and my pattern paper measures 5 x 3 3/4 inches. I folded down the right corner of the pattern paper and glued down and adhered the pretty pink heart on top with a flower in the middle. These flowers along with the pretty hearts with flower petals are found in your kit.
Card #3
For this card you will use a card from the Card Kit and cut the front flap off at 2 inches. So you will have a little flap left.
Next I used the doily stamp from the card kit with versa mark and heat embossed a couple panels for this inside of the card.

Hi Jennifer here sharing 3 cards I created using the March Card Kit. I kept them fairly simple. I will explain how I made each card below its photo.
A cute thank you card. I fussy cut the clock, the lace and the heart. I poked a hole in the heart to add the flowers. I tore paper for the background and before attaching it I stamped with distress oxide ink to create the woodgrain effect.
I used pattern paper for the background, fussy cut the square paper, attached the frame that I colored with distress oxide. I inserted the paper heart in the center.
For this card used a piece of pattern paper, tore the corner so the woodgrain stamp shows. Added the love bird circle cutout and flowers.
Dana Here! Hope you are all well and able to squeeze some crafting time in between our busy day to day life!
For my project today, I'll be using Tres Jolie March Scrapbook kit! This is a beautiful kit you'll want to add to your collection of paper crafts! This month's Scrapbook kit has these beautiful 12x12 papers from Memory Place with matching Ephemera! Also included are plenty of fussycut images, Prima Flowers, Memory Hardware Amies Antique Cloches, Prima Gold trim, and Tres Jolie Chipboard
Keys.https://tresjoliekits.com/collections/chipboard/products/miscellaneous
Here's this month's Scrapbook kit:
Be sure to order your kit today before they sell out!
I purchased a wooden box from my local craft store and will be using several other items from my crafty stash, such as: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Gathered Twigs, scoring board, glue, Folkart Vintage White acrylic paint, paintbrush, some gems, foam dots, small photos, white roses from this month's Card Tags and More kit, Prima paper clip, pearl gems, xaco knife, various Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlets dies, DecoArt Clear Crackle, small screwdriver.
My wood box measures 7 & 7/8 x 4 inches. But any size will work, you just have to adjust what size you cut your papers. Here's a photo of my wood box I chose for this project:
My idea for this project, was to make a treasure box which I think would make a great gift idea for a special friend, birthday, or for Mother's day to surprise your mom!
To start, I removed all my hardware and screws from my box. Save and set aside for now. Now taking some Folkart Vintage White acrylic paint and painted along the top outside edge about 1 inch or so all around including the inside lid, sides and bottom inside of your box. Here's some photos:
Top outside of box:
Inside
While your box is drying, chose papers from the kit to decorate the top, sides on the outside of your box. I am applying Tim Holtz Distress Ink Gathered Twigs to all paper edges as well as fussycut images and envelopes/journal cards for this project. But you can skip this step if you prefer. Before adhering my papers to my box, I took a tiny nail and poked holes through my paper where the screws will go.
Taking the " Allure" sheet of paper, I cut the paper at 6 & 1/2 x 2 & 7/8 inches, short sides 3 & 7/8 x 2 & 1/8, Long sides at 7 & 3/4 x 2 & 1/4 inches. Inside Lid cut at 7 & 3 1/2 inches. Adhere your papers to your box. Now taking a small brush I applied some DecoArt Clear Crackle along the top edge of my box. Let dry overnight to create more cracks. Then i took and applied Distress Ink along the top and sides of my box. Here's a photo:
Top of my box:
After all your papers are glued in place, you can attach all the hardware to your box.
Now we can decorate the top of our treasure box! This is my favorite part!
From the image sheet in your paper pack, I fussycut a cluster of flowers, a few tiny Butterflies, "True Love" sentiment, and this cute cupid piece from the ephemera pack. I arranged them onto the top of my box. Also taking some Prima flowers from this kit, I glued them in place. The pink flowers and pink rose I cut off from the Prima Pink flowers and stems pack. Here's a photo:
Next open up your wood box and adhere all your papers inside on the lid, bottom and sides.
Set your box aside for now.
Taking one of the Tres Jolie chipboard Keys, and some Bronze Gliding Wax (from my stash) I applied some with my finger over the top arrow and bottom portion on my chipboard key. Around the chipboard heart I applied some Folkart Conch Shell acrylic paint. Let dry. I fussycut a heart image from the element sheet and glued over the chipboard heart. I added some tiny white pearls around the top edge on my chipboard. Here's a photo:
I fussycut the sentiment "Forever" from the image sheet, glued my chipboard key at an angle on the inside lid. Taking the Forever sentiment piece, I curled both ends using a bone folder (my stas) and glued over top of my chipboard key! Taking one of the ephemera frames, I glued a photo inside my frame and glued at a slight angle on the right inside edge of my box! Here's closeup look!
Remove one of the Memory Hardware Antique Cloches from your package in your kit. I'm using Toujours one. I fussycut around the edge of the Roses/dome ephemera piece and glued this behind the Cloche. Then glue your Clocheon the bottom left inside edge of your box. Here's a closeup:
Set your box aside for now. Next we will be creating some fun envelopes, postcard, and file folder. Take your 12x12 paper with the various journal cards and cut them apart. We'll be using several of these Journaling cards.
Folder #1: From the 12x12 journal cards sheet, I cut out the small brown folder double sided card leaving it attached. Then scored down the middle and creased at the fold. This makes a cute little booklet.
Inside on the left side, I cut out one of the sentiments "timeless" a small butterfly. Taking the journal card with the dome/roses, I tore around the edges to give a tattered worn long. Applied some Distress Ink around the edges and glued on the left inside of my folder. I glued the sentiment piece on the right side followed by the butterfly above my sentiment. On the right side, I glued a photo to the back of the blue ephemera frame. Glue on the right flap and add another sentiment at the bottom. Here's how mine lookson the inside:
Pocket Envelope #1: From my scrap paper "Exquisite" and a Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlets Die, I diecut the pieces to create a long envelope.
Taking the Cherub journal card I carefully cut around her hand and part of her arm, using my x-acto knife. Then taking one of the white tiny roses from this month's Card Tags and More kit, I slid the rose behind her hand, and snipped off any excess wire from the stem. I applied some Distress Ink Gathered Twigs onto the rose petals. Then cut the "Charming" sentiment and curled both ends before gluing in place over the bottom wire stem. Inside my envelope I cut out a cluster of flowers, gloved hand and Embrace sentiment. I glued them in place and added a gold gem over the hole on the glove. Then I slid this card inside my pocket envelope. Here's acouple photos:
Front of pocket envelope:
Backside of envelope and small journal card:
Chipboard Key card:
Cut apart the chipboard key towards the bottom. So it will fit over the key on the journal card. Taking some Bronze Gliding Wax, Using my finger, I lightly applied the Gliding Wax over top of my chipboard key. Here's a closeup:
Glue your chipboard key on top of the matching image on your journal card. See photo:
I glued a silver gem at the top and a Prima gem on top of where the two chipboard pieces meet. I fussycut a globe/roses image from the element sheet and glued to the back of my journal card. You can add a photo here if you desire. Here's some photos:
Front of finished card:
Backside of journal card:
File card: Taking another Tim Holtz Sizzix File die, I diecut a file folder, and film slide. I fussycut some flowers and romantic sentiment from the element sheet.
I folded my file folder and slide on the creases. I glued a photo inside my slide and glued it closed. I glued my slide on the front of my file folder. Using foam dots I adhered my flower cluster on the right side. Here's a closeup of the frontside:
Inside my file folder I glued my sentiment piece on the top right tab. Taking a heart paperclip from my stash, I tucked acouple journal cards inside. I applied some matching washi tape from this collection and my stash, at the upper right corner. Here's a photo:
Tiny envelope: Using a Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlets envelope dies, I diecut my envelope from the Exquisite scrap paper. Fold and glue my envelope together. On the front of my tiny envelope, I fussycut a heart and adhered using foam dots on the bottom at an angle. I glued an ephemera sentiment piece Beloved above my heart. Here's a closeup:
Inside I cut out a small Cherub card and glued a sentiment at the top. Then slid inside my envelope. I glued a Wax seal from my stash on the top envelope flap to finish. Here's a closeup look:
Postcard: Cut out the 5 & 1/2 x 3 & 1/2 postcard from your paper. Fussycut the cupid from the small 3x4 journal card. I adhered the cupid piece in the center front of my post card using foam dots.

I pulled in some of the fun items that can be found in this months mixed media kit. This was my first time using the Glamour Gel and I loved the way it added the sparkly and shine to the laser cut wood pieces.
I used a pain brush to apply the gel to the corner pieces that would accent the photos in this layout.
I used 1 piece of 12x12 paper from the scrapbook kit and 1 piece of 8x8 paper from the card kit. I did have to use some washi to stick the layout together while working on it.
I also matted the entire layout with black card stock and fussy cut out some of the pattern paper along with the fun decoupage items as well.
Some of the pieces I backed on white cardstock so that they could be popped up on foam.
And here is the finished layout. I took the magical power and created a beautiful goal color to splatter all over the layout.
Hi Welcome Jennifer here sharing a layout made with the card kit for February. I pulled out a few of the 8x8 papers, tore them and inked them for the edges. I fussy cut lots of items to use as embellishments. I painted the chipboard frame and the XOXO. Added flowers around the frame and the title. I also popped one inside of the paper heart.

I pulled in paper for the scrapbooking kit and card kits to document making the Tres Jolie DT.
Using the small papers that came with the kit I backed my photo and fussy cut out lots of the blue flowers. These will be used to make a band across the layout that my photo will sit on.
To add some dimension to the layout I grabbed some of the handmade flowers and popped them around the flower clusters. This helps to add more color to the layout.
Adding in the fussy cut butterflies and this layout is completed.
Pulling in the February card kit and the beautiful pieces to start creating this layout.
I took some Nuvo mica mist and sprayed up the laser cut tags to match the 12x12 sheet of paper from the scrapbooking kit for the month.
After matting the photos on papers from the card kit I used the inked up tags to create the bases for my clusters.
Grabbing the embellishments to start creating the clusters.
And after getting the clusters in line and added several small touches the layout is complete.
I painted the chipboard gate and placed it behind my photo. I added lazer cut pieces around the layout. I inked up all the edges. Added a few sequins to add butterfly trails. I have a full process video up on the Tres Jolie Channel. Click the link above to see my details about this layout.
]]>
I started out by pairing to of the 12x12 papers together for my background. I adjusted the sizes for my double 8 1/2x11 layout. I stenciled on the background using the February Mix Media kit items. I laid a photo over both of the stenciled areas. I added a strip of the pink paper that holds the three photos matted on white cardstock. I embellished with a few of the lazer cut pieces and used thickers from my stash for the title. I die cut the balloons to make it more birthday themed.

]]>I used the transfer to create the background. I started with cutting the newsprint part of the transfer and placed it around the canvas,
I then used the acrylic paint in cream to paint over top of the new print transfer. Then placed the edges of the transfer frame in the left and right corner. added a little more paint over top.
I inked the edges of the photo and attached it down with liquid glue. I then added the rose pieces of the transfer to the top left corner and bottom right. I cut off the tiny roses and added to the bottom left corner. I added a leaf sticker to the top right corner by the chipboard numbers.
At the bottom I added the sticker film stripe from my stash at the bottom of the photo. I added the lace and the title Darlene with chipboard letters.
Around the edge of the canvas I added the paste for a finishing touch I added sequins.

I started off using some liquid pearls to color up these wonderful laser cut pieces that I will use to boarder my photo.
Next up we need to go through all the fabulous items that came with this kit and pick out what I would like to try and get on this layout. You know the audition process.
Now that we have the items paired down and the fussy cut items completed, we can start to see this layout coming together.
I love a good diagonal design and it seems even when I don't intend to do it, it just happens. Here I used the already built in flora cluster to become the base of my 2 large embellishment clusters. The photo will take center stage and due to those glorious laser cut pieces it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Next up the beautiful sky blue dimensional florals are just needed to finish out these clusters.
Final touch is the die cuts that are so super cute and add the perfect items to tuck and layer within these clusters.
And there is the layout of my husband cooking our Thanksgiving dinner.
]]>After much deliberation and countless hours spent admiring all the incredible entries, the judges have finally made their decision. And the winner is none other than... (insert suspenseful pause here)...
With a stunning display of creativity, attention to detail, and a touch of whimsy, Denise has truly outdone herself. Her entry perfectly captured the essence of the mood board, bringing it to life in a way that left us all in awe.
So, what made Denise's entry stand out from the rest? Well, it was a combination of factors that made their creation truly shine.
Secondly, her attention to detail was impeccable. Every element of the altered project was carefully chosen and thoughtfully placed. From the tiny embellishments to the perfectly aligned focal piece, it was clear that Denise had poured her heart and soul into this creation.
Lastly, her entry had that certain je ne sais quoi that just made it stand out. It had that "wow" factor that made you stop and stare. It was like a work of art, but with a touch of whimsy and a whole lot of personality.
So, let's all raise our glue sticks and give a big congratulations to Denise! Your creativity and talent have truly shone through, and you deserve all the recognition and praise.
And to all the other participants, don't be disheartened. Remember, art is subjective, and everyone's creations were unique and beautiful in their own way. Keep on crafting, keep on creating, and who knows? Maybe next time it'll be your turn to take home the gold.
Since this layout is 8 1/2x11, I cut the paper down to the desired size and then tore the left over pieces and inked the edges and reattached them. Matted the photo on white cardstock and a piece of scrap pattern paper from the kit.
I inked the chipboard piece and all the edges of any papers I included on the layout. I added white paint splatters to the background and embellishments. I didn't put them on the photo, title or the chipboard piece.
I added the title and the date they were married. I used little gems from my stash to add a little sparkle.
At the top of the photo I added a cut out fame piece but only used the top to add a little frame detail. The house and the ring box were cut from the cut apart sheet.
To bring in more of that beautiful pink color I took the chipboard butterflies and one of the tags from the kits and did some mixed media work on them.
I took some time to fussy cut out several pieces to decorate the layout with including creating a shaker pocket with one of the frames.
Using the flowers I created a vertical design up the layout and used the fussy cut pieces and shaker to enhance the area where the photo sits. Using the pink tag behind the photo to ensure that the photo pops.
Just a few splatters to finish off the layout and the butterflies placed at the top and bottom of the flower band.

The title is a play on the country song "Blame it on my roots I showed up in boots" This is my niece and her grandparents. They all wore boots and cowboy hats to the wedding.
I heat embossed the chipboard piece in gold. In order to get the smooth look you have to do it twice at least. I inked the edges of all the papers to give it an antique look.
I fussy cut the 3x4 cards and used the frames to add layers behind the photo. I used foam to pop up the flowers after inking the edges.
To create balance I added two different sizes of frames to each photo.
I added flat back pearls from my stash in gold, white and black. I used both sides of the paper. The beautiful blue matched my mom and step dads shirt and the flowers in the bouquet. The adorable boots in the ephemera pack were perfect for the title. {Faces in the photos are blurry for internet purpose.}

Hello everyone Becky here with my first Tres Jolie design team project. I have a full process video on both the Tres Jolie and my personal YouTube channel found below:
I wanted to use this beautiful kit to document a concert my husband and I went to this past fall. I pulled a 12x12 piece of paper, the music note paper, several 2x3 cards, prima flowers, chipboard pieces, items from the fabulous embellishment pack, the cut apart sheet, and the flower vine laser cut piece.
After looking at all these goodies together I knew I needed to add some matching elements to complete the background. I went to the kits and pulled out the doily and one of the laser cut tags. I used Heide Swapp Color Shine in Ocean to do a messy spray of these 2 items.
Attaching the doily to the back of the photo I then located the written word paper and cut into some 1/2 inch"ish" strips to use a Martha Steward boarder punch for added detail. I fussy cut out a frame and turned it into a shaker pocket using the Spiegel Mom Scraps sequin mix of Gender Reveal.
Next up that laser cut vine piece needed just a bit of coloring. I took Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in Gunmetal Gray and Polar Wind to color up this beautiful piece.
Once everything was dry I attached the photo to a various cluster of 2x3 cards on top of the doiley and part of the tag. Next I added the strips and several of the tickets behind this cluster. Layering the laser cut wood vine to the left of the photo and added some of Prima flowers on top. Added the shaker pocket to the upper right on top of the main part of the tag with a bit of jute twine. Finishing touches of 1/2 pearls and a little birdie and this layout is 100% complete.
This layout turned out so much better than I could have even imagined due to these wonderful kits.
I hope you are having a great week, its almost Friday. yay! Today I am here to bring you a new project I created using the January 2024 Mixed Media Kit. This was so fun to create I really like being able to just use mix media and just go with the flow. There's no staying inside the lines and you can just do what you feel. Here is the video tutorial I created for you to view that gives a little more details.
Let's get started on this beautiful Time To Create canvas. Here are the supplies I used. I used the January 2024 Mixed Media kit along with the stencil from August 2023 Mixed Media Kit. I also used the Split Mandala 3 Chipboard Border.
I have a full process video for this layout up on the Youtube Channel.
I used the beautiful flowers that are included in the kit to embellish the corners around the photo. I tucked in chipboard leaves too. For the leaves I painted them with clear gesso and white acrylic paint mixed together. I added Shimmerz paints to them after they dried. The Shimmerz paints is great because of the shimmer but it will soak into the chipboard and leave no color without the gesso.
I loved this butterfly and I painted it also with the gesso and shimmerz paints. In real life it has a shimmer to it, I stamped around the photo with a stitching stamp. I inked all the edges of the mats and the edge of the layout.
I added thickers from my stash for the title. More flowers and chipboard leaves to the left of the title.
I have an unboxing video up on my YouTube channel that shows the kit and the a sneak peek of what photos I plan on using with the kit and which papers, I will have a complete share at the end of the month showing all the layouts I create this month with the kit.
