I am also using 2 Tres Jolie Chipboard Tags- long https://tresjoliekits.com/collections/chipboard/products/miscellaneous
To start we will be creating 3 cards first.
Card #1: Take your white card base that measures 8 & 1/2 x 5 & 1/2 inches, score at 4& 1/4 inches. Fold and crease. Your card size is 4 & 1/4 x 5 & 1/2 inches. Now take the powder blue Card and trim to 4 x 5 3/8, round corners with corner punch (my stash) ink edges with Distress Ink and adhere to the front of your white card base. See photo:
I fussy cut a few flowers from one of the papers in the kit.
From silver glittered Cardstock (my stash) i diecut a butterfly, Prima flower, and a torn piece from the same paper we fussy cut the flowers from. See photo:
I inked the edges, and adhered the torn paper on the right side, then added the white diecut piece over the top. With foam dots I adhered the fussy cut flowers scattered, silver butterfly and Prima flower! From my stash, I curled a sentiment with my bone folder and glued along the bottom edge. I added a few blue pearl gems, and applied some Stickles Glitter Stardust on the center of each flower! Here's some finished photos!
Card #2: I scored and folded my card that same size as the previous card, but using the light blue card base. I trimmed the blue foil paper to measure 4 x 5 & 3/8. Adhere with foam tape. The polka dot piece to measure 3 & 3/4 x 5 & 1/4 and adhered with foam tape to give it some dimension. Glue a piece of lace trim on the leftside.
See photo:
I took the White leaves diecut border, and fussy cut out some butterflies from another paper in the kit. I chose some Prima Marketing flowers.
I glued the white diecut leaves in the center of my card. Added my 2 Prima flowers and fussy cut butterflies. I applied some Stickles Glitter Stardust onto the butterfly wings and added some blue crystal gems! Here's some finished photos:
Card #3: I took the dark blue Cardstock in the kit and cut, and scored to measure as we did previously on the other 2 cards. I turned it vertically this time. I cut a piece of light blue card and cut to measure 4 & 1/4 x 5 & 1/2 inches. Adhere using foam tape. See photos:
I took one of the white dollies and folded in 4 quarters.
Cut out one daily square. Glue onto your card. Now I cut a cluster of flowers/leaves from one of the patterned papers. See photo:
I glued the smaller white flower/ leaves on top of my daily on the leftside. The larger blue/ white flower I adhered in the center overlapping the white flowers on the leftside, with foam dots.
I cut apart some of the dark blue leaves diecut piece and fussy cut some flowers. I also chose a Prima flower. See photo:
I added a Prima flower at the bottom edge. I tucked several of the dark blue leaves from the diecut behind my larger blue flower. I finished by gluing some blue crystal gems in scattered areas. I took a "Hello" sentiment stamp and black ink, stamped at the top right corner. Here's some photos!
Next we will create 2 Tres Jolie Chipboard Tags.
Tag#1: This tag i will make into a Shaker! Who doesn't love receiving a Shaker card or tag. You will have plenty of leftover Shaker pockets to make more tags or even cards!
I covered my 1st Chipboard tag with my patterned paper. Punch the hole at the top before gluing.
Take one of the long shaker pockets in the kit. I cut to fit onto my Chipboard tag. My measures 3 & 3/8 x 6 & 1/2 inches. Save the other half for another card. The shaker pocket will be open at the top. I cut a patterned paper to measure the length and width inside of my shaker pocket. See photos:
Slide your patterned paper inside your shaker pocket.
Now fill your shaker with sequins, confetti, beads etc...whatever you have in your crafty stash. I added these silver iridescent pieces. I also added some diecut some small flowers and leaves from a previous TJ kit. After you fill your shaker, seal at the top with glue or tape. If using glue, let it dry throughly before shaking so the shaker filler wont stick to the glue at the top!
To finish I tied some blue satin ribbon through the hole on top of my tag and tied in a knot. I glued a piece of white trim along the bottom edge of my tag. Then glued one of the pretty Prima flower butterflies over the top! Here's my finished photos!
Tag #2 I cut a piece of patterned paper to size and width of my tag. Then punched the hole before adhering to my tag.
Cut another floal paper to measure 4 & 1/2x 5 & 3/4 inches. Add on top of your tag using foam tape. I glued a piece of white trim along the bottom edge.
Next I chose some Prima Marketing flowers, and torn off a piece of green leaves. Also one of the Prima butterflies. I diecut a silver butterfly and cut apart some of the leftover white and blue leaves. See photo:
I took the Prima Marketing butterfly and using some Prima Sparks paint- Butterfly spells and Mermaid Sparkle, and some water and a paintbrush, I added some splatters of each paint flicking the paint over top of my butterfly wings! See photos:
When your butterfly is dry I glued it at the top right on my tag. I arranged my Prima flowers towards the bottom and tucked and glued some of the diecut flowers and Prima leaves behind my Prima flowers! I glued my diecut silver butterfly at the top left. Then tied some light Tulle into a bow through the hole on my tag. Here's some finished photo!
