"Life Happens " ATC Cards and File Box
Hello Crafty Peeps!
My name is Dana and I thank you for visiting the Tres Jolie Blog! Today I'll be creating a ATC File box and Cards, using our Tres Jolie December Scrapbook kit!
This is a fabulous kit with beautiful papers from Photoplay "Beautiful Junque " collection, Tres Jolie Chipboard ticket borders and Butterfly, 2 large paper dollies and 2 book sheets, 49&Market flowers-2 packs and Prima flowers! Here's a photo of the Scrapbook kit:
Isn't it beautiful? Don't wait to order your kit since they do sell out quickly!
From my stash I'll be using: Tim Holtz Idea-ology File Box, Sizzix Thinlets dies- envelopes and cardstock tags and card bases, some jute cord, Distress Ink Gathered Twigs and pearl gems and Tim Holtz Idea-ology CelloTape. See photo:
My File box measures 3 & 5/8 x 5 & 3/8. So I'll be cutting my file cards and diecut envelopes to fit inside. This is a great way to use up leftover paper scraps! Plus I think it's fun and a good way to add small photos.
To start, I will decorate my file box on the inside and outside. I'm will be applying Tim Holtz Distress Ink Gathered Twigs to the edges of all my papers and File cards.
I cut 2 pieces the Floral Flea Market paper to measure 5 & 3/8 x 1 & 3/4 inches. For the front and back of my box, I cut the same paper to measure 3 & 3/8 x 1 & 3/4 inches. Glue your papers in place. See photos:

Back of box:
Using the same floral paper in covered the inside. I cut my papers to measure: 3 & 1/4 x 1 & 1/2 inches, short sides- 1 & 1/2 x 1 & 1/2 and bottom pieces- 3 & 1/4 x 1 & 1/2 inches. Glue them in place. Here's a photo:
On the front inside metal label i added a "Life Happens" sticker. See photo:
Now we can set our File box aside for now and start creating our File cards and envelopes.
Card 1: I cut out the journal card "Be Happy " and glued on the front of my file tab card. I glued a small pink 49 and Market flower on the front tab. I covered the backside with matching floral paper and added 3 small heart stickers onto the tab. Here's some photos:
