Bewitching Hour Configuration Album Tutorial

I have my tutorial uploaded to YouTube. This is my second project using “Bewitching Hour”, an exclusive to Country Craft Creations paper collection. 

This album was designed by request, and although I used Artisan 12x12 cardstock, you could use 8 1/2” x 11. This is another configuration album, each page is scored  the same, but one different cut can give many looks. Have fun!

A Halloween Box Decor Piece using Graphic 45's Rare Oddities

I finally finished it!!!  I'm so happy!!!

I made this amazing box full of goodies with a Graphic 45 collection from 2015!!!  

This is the Rare Oddities collection!

I started this project in 2015 when this collection came out.  I worked on it for a while, then for some reason I can't remember, I put it away unfinished.  I dug it out and finally finished it.

This piece is amazing and fun and full of great things.  I love how it turned out.

This is going to be a great addition to my Halloween decor.  

I made this little album, that was made with envelopes.  Please don't ask where I got it...I really don't remember...remember I put this away for a long time.

It is decorated with the patterned papers and the embellishments that came with the collection.  

Each envelope has a tag.

I made file folders and filled them with journaling cards.

I created a box to go in the box and filled it with all sorts of goodies.

I took some paper bags and decorated them.  I added a witches broom, made bookmarks, and added a skeleton key.  I also covered some tags with the patterned papers.  In the box you will see a bat, I backed him with some of the papers as well.

In the paper bags I added more cards.

I have test tubes full of fun, and made my fairy skeleton.

I have a bottle of Raven feathers and a box...

In the box a secret letter, skull, flower and another bottle.  

The feathers were made with a die that I have.

I found this cute notebook that I added to the mix, and used some stickers in it.  I also found this cute cutting board that I turned into a clipboard and added more journaling cards.

I am very pleased with this project.  Even though it took so long to complete, it will be a treasured Halloween decor piece for years to come.

Stay crafty and scary, my friends!

It was fun and easy to do and it will make a great addition to your decor!

Stay crafty, my friends!

Bewitching Hour October Daily Album Tutorial

Today I am sharing a walk through and tutorial on my album I made using the exclusive paper collection "Bewitching Hour" by Country Craft Creations. This is my first project for this design team package that I have made, and I think you will like it.

I am calling it an October Daily because I purposefully put enough places to add AT LEAST 31 pictures. I have done this before for myself, making a daily October/Halloween Daily album. We have thrown great parties and have decorated our house throughout, and I have loved documenting the experience of the month. There are pockets also included in the album to put any extras...invitations, recipes, party planning notes, etc.

Below is a cutting list. I give the list for the chipboard and cardstock, but don't for the patterned papers. I do cut them 1/8" smaller than the piece of cardstock they are covering. Also, I used the "Lay Flat" method for the cover which I do not cover in the video...but I did do a tutorial that you can see here. I give all measurements in the video and below. The method is exactly the same. This album took 12 sheets of Artisan cardstock for the base, I used black. I also used two sheets each of orange and purple from my stash (which are used for mats). I used 13 sheets of patterned paper, which included using cutaparts, so approximately 11 sheets of patterned paper total not including the cards and embellishments. I also used seam binding. The products (and also Score Tape sheets used for the covers, and Art Glitter Glue) are from Country Craft Creations. Please check them out! Also, if you haven't done this yet, check out the Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations Facebook group page. There you will be kept up on all of the exclusive new papers that have been coming, and will be coming, and you will be notified of all of the awesome free tutorials that the designers are creating for you. Thanks for watching...stay tuned for other fun tutorials!
