A Creative Operation: Hooray Easel Album Tutorial

HELLO!!!

Today I have the tutorial for my Hooray Easel Album! This is my 3rd design team project for Country Craft Creations using Authentique's adorable "Hooray" paper collection! I was also given Carta Bella's "Dots" papers, which matched PERFECTLY with the papers. This album was designed with the thought of documenting the first 10 birthdays in a child's life, but there are so many other things you can do with this album!! I give a list of ideas in the video.

Along with the papers mentioned above, I used 9 sheets of denim Artisan Cardstock, 3 Ivory Artisan Cardstock, and a lot of the patterned paper scraps. I estimate that if you were to use patterned paper for the entire project instead of utilizing scraps you would need about 6-7 sheets. You will also need book rings (at least 1 1/4"), eyelets (optional), seam binding for the closure, and Art Glitter Glue. You can get the papers, glue and seam binding at Country Craft Creations.

Below is a cutting list for the cardstock and the mats with the papers needed, if you do choose to do the pages as I did in the video.

Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions. Stay safe and stay crafty!
