America Mini Album with a Box Tutorial

Hello Everyone!  I have the tutorial for my “America Mini Album with  Box” for you today!  This tutorial has taken a couple of tries to get done but here it is…YAY!  This is my design team project (#1) for Country Craft Creations using the “America” paper line from Echo Park.  You are going to love the simplicity and the versatility of this project!  I will give the information on the measurements in the tutorial, but I will also have a cutting list for the cardstock below.  Also below I will have a cutting guide also…this is a visual guide on how to cut the cardstock so that you don’t waste any paper!  
 Have fun with  this project!  Visit Country Craft Creations at 
https://www.countrycraftcreations.com  to get the paper collection and the artisan cardstock that I used, as well as the Art Glitter Glue! Thanks for coming by and watching!  Stay safe and stay crafty!
 The tutorial is on my YouTube Channel.  You can find the link here.  Please, if you haven't already, subscribe to my channel.  I post quite a bit of fun project ideas to share!
