Fall crafting!

 I made a cute fall project using Dollar Store items.  I found two plain wood truck signs ready to paint, and painted them.  I put a crate in-between the trucks to hold the cute scarecrows and the sunflowers.  It was so easy to make and fun to do.  I don't have a lot of fall decorations, but for less than $10 (the sunflowers were actually on sale from Michael's) I have this cute decoration!  I love the whole truck decor idea, and if you can see in the background of the first picture, on my mantle I made one from a Silhouette file I bought.  I usually decorate it for the seasons, but haven't broke out what fall things I have.  

What are you going to do to decorate for fall?

Stay crafty, my friends!

Tall Explosion Gift Box Album Tutorial

 

Here it is...the tutorial for my newest explosion album that's also a gift box!  I am using the exclusive collection "Gentlemen Fleur" for this tutorial and it is only available at Country Craft Creations.  Please go check out the store for this and so many other paper crafting supplies, including a huge assortment of design paper that you will not find anywhere else...(Wait til you see what I got for Halloween and Christmas!)

I am using the We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board for this tutorial, HOWEVER, I know it is very very hard to find and so I am giving all measurements so that you can also use a conventional scoreboard if you don't have the explosion board.  I love the explosion board, because it really takes a lot of work out of making these boxes, but it can be done super easily with my measurements I give in the tutorial.  

I hope you have fun with it, and stay crafty!  Have a great weekend!

Tall Explosion Gift Box and Album Walk Through

 I made this awesome project because one of my amazing followers asked me to create it.  A while ago I did a tutorial for a Tall Explosion Gift Box...

She asked me if I could make it into an album.  I did it and the tutorial will be coming very soon...this weekend in fact!

I created a gift box/album that is 6" tall, and 4" square.  It is a fun project to do and I think you will like it. I am using the exclusive collection only available from Country Craft Creations called "Gentlemen Fleur".  It is a gorgeous collection and it made a great gift item!  

I did use my We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board to make the project, BUT...I will also give you the directions to make one using a conventional score board.  I know these boards are hard to find so I will help you so that you can make one whether you have one or not!

Please go check out the walk through and check out the store.  I'll be back soon to let you know when the tutorial is posted.

Stay crafty, my friends,
