Love Letters Configuration Tag, Card, Album Tutorial

Hello and good morning. Here is a tutorial for you that I think will be fun for you to make. I have created another configuration project for you. This can be used as a tag, a card and an album. I'll show you how to create it all, including an envelope to put it in!

This is my design team project for Country Craft Creations. I'm using "Love Letters", although I also did examples with "Love is in the Air" and "Here Comes the Bride". It's had to say how much paper you will need, as I used scraps for the single tags, and only one sheet of cardstock for the tag and one for the envelope. For the album I used about 8 sheets of patterned paper, and 4 sheets of Kraft Artisan cardstock for the base album. I also used My Colors cardstock, 2 sheets of Frosted Rose. This is a fun project and I hope you enjoy it! Tag base: 1 = 12 x 12, For an album you will need to make two of these Envelope: 1 - 12 x 12 For an album you will also need: Connector/Spine: 1 - 2 1/4 x 8 1/2 (For 1/4" spine) or 1 - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 (For 1/2" spine) Waterfall: 1 - 3 1/8 x 10 3/4 1 - 3 1/8 x 9 3/4 1 - 3 1/8 x 8 3/4 Pocket: 1 - 6 x 3 1/2 Love Letters Artisan Cardstock, Kraft My Colors, Frosted Rose Seambinding: Pink and Beige Small Magnets

Have fun and stay crafty, my friends!

Here Comes the Bride Mini Ornament Album and Flowers!

 

I used some scraps from my previous tutorial and made a cute companion mini album ornament for the couple's Christmas tree and made some flowers!

Come check out the video and then head on over to Country Craft Creations for your papers, "Here Comes the Bride".  

 Hello and welcome back to my channel. I have an album I think you will love. It is very easy to put together and it is big! This will be an amazing album for a wedding! I'm using the exclusive collection from Country Craft Creations called "Here Comes the Bride" and it is an exquisite collection. The images and colors are amazing. Head over to Country Craft Creations.

During the tutorial I reference a couple of my past tutorials.

Lay Flat Cover Method How to make a stacked waterfall Summer Adventure Mini Album (with tag closure) Below is a cut list and supply list for this project. I used quite a bit of product for this album. The cover is 10x10" and has a 2 1/2" spine. The pages are 9 1/2 x 9 1/2". I used 19 sheets of black cardstock, 3 of Pearl Sheen Gold and 2 of Pearl Sheen Natural. This count DOES NOT INCLUDE extra cardstock used for mats (other than listed below) and mats for cutaparts...I used scraps. I did use almost all of the patterned paper in this collections. I had one 12 x 12 sheet left over and lots of scraps. Because of the size of this album it did take a lot of paper. You will also need seambinding for closures and 2 large magnets. I hope you enjoy the project. I am trying very hard to make sure that the information is accurate. I'm human. If you notice something and/or have a question please ask. I am always willing to help. SUPPLY LIST: Here Comes the Bride Paper Collection Chipboard (Heavy) Art Glitter Glue Score Tape Artisan Cardstock: Black, Pearl Sheen Gold and Pearl Sheen Natural Graphic 45 Tags Lace: The exact lace I used is not available but there are many other selections to choose from Seam Binding in Black, and Ivory Large Magnets Flowers CUTTING LIST: (All cardstock is black unless otherwise noted) Chipboard: 2 -1 0 x 10 1 - 2 1/2 x 10 Cardstock to cover chipboard: 2 - 12 x 12 1 - 5 1/2 x 12 1 - 5 1/2 x 9 7/8 Base Pages: 4 - 9 1/2 x 10 1/4 Inside Covers Flaps: 2 - 8 x 8 1/2 Pockets: 2 - 3 1/2 x 11 Pinwheel Pages (Front page 1 and back page 4) 8 - 4 3/4 x 5 1/4 2 - 4 x 4 I used 8 pieces of Pearl Sheen Natural to mat the backs of these pinwheel pages, 4 5/8 x 4 5/8

Country Craft Creations New Year's Eve Retreat and Crop Projects Review

I posted a review of the Country Craft Creations New Year's Eve Retreat and Crop projects. 

I have links to the crop projects by the designers of Country Craft Creations in the video description.  Please go check them out.  They are all amazing crafters and have a bunch of great tutorials to share.

I had so much fun participating in all of the projects. I hope you enjoy the review.

Love is in the Air Exchangeable Banner Pieces

Today I have another project using leftovers from “Love is in the Air!  This collection is exclusive to Country Craft Creations  and is available here. These are going to be for my exchangeable banner. I did a tutorial using Midnight Kiss, the video is here.  

Four of the banner pieces I had in my stash, the largest one I had to make to complete the 5 pieces I needed. If you’d like to make your own, the measurements are below. 

The banner measurements are:

2 - 4 x 6, the peak of the cutout is 2” from the bottom center of the banner

2 - 5 1/8 x 7 7/8, the peak of the cutout is 2 5/8 from the bottom center 

1 - 6 x 9 1/2, the peak of the cutout is 2 7/8 from the bottom center

I used up scraps to cover the chipboard and make the rosettes. I made a heart rosette, and if you need directions on how to do that, check out this tutorial where I show how to do that. I backed cut aparts with cardstock then fussy cut them out. I used Pom Pom trim from the Country Craft Creations store on every piece. Doilies are from my stash. Each banner used 1 yard of ribbon for the ties (cut into 2 pieces for each banner piece), so you’ll need 5 yards total. Ribbon was from my stash. I also used foam tape (from the store) under some elements to give more dimension. Flowers are also from the Country Craft Creations store. 

I can’t wait to change the decorations out for February, I’ll share pics when I do!

"Love is in the Air" Z Fold Folio Tutorial

 Hello everyone, and welcome back to my channel. Today I have a fun folio project that was inspired by a recent card tutorial I did using a Z Fold technique. If you want to see that tutorial it is here.

I wanted to use that concept in a folio, and this is what I came up with. I created this simple design with multiple pockets that you can fill to the brim with tags and photo mats. When you open it you see amazing goodness and I think using this exclusive paper collection "Love is in the Air" by Country Craft Creations made this project just amazing. You can check out Country Craft Creations here.

Below I will link specific items that I used from the store, and also will have a cut list for you. It only took 10 pieces of cardstock in the base color to make the album, plus 4 of a coordinating color. Then I used approximately 16 pieces of patterned paper from the collection plus a sheet of cut aparts and journal cards. I filled it with several different tags and photo mats. In the tutorial I'll go through all of it...and we will do the heart shaped rosettes that I used on the cover! Thanks for watching!! CUT LIST: Cover: 2 - 9 1/2 x 11 (main color) 4 - 8 3/8 x 8 3/8 (coordinating color) Pages: All main color 2 - 8 x 8 3/4 2 - 6 1/2 x 8 3/4 2 - 5 x 8 3/4 Pockets: Main color 6 - 9 x 3 Waterfalls: Main color 2 - 6 x 10 1/2 2 - 6 x 9 1/2 2 - 6 x 8 1/2 Rosettes are made with 1 x 12" strips. The items I used from Country Craft Creations include: Love is in the Air paper collection Artisan Cardstock Art Glitter Glue Heart Felt Creations Dies: Leaves Tickets and Tags Graphic 45 dies are currently unavailable but check back at the store soon Seam Binding Pom Pom Trim

 Happy New Year!  

Let's make some fun inserts for your Travelers Notebook!

I am adding to the Travelers Notebook that I just made for the Country Craft Creations New Year's Eve Crop.  

I am making a folder and even some junk journals for it.  I will also show you how to make a simplified larger junk journal with the pamphlet stitch.  

I am using found papers from my stash and leftover design team package papers for this tutorial.  

I hope that you like the tutorial.  This junk journal was done from a request from one of our Country Craft Creations members!  Other designers will be doing other projects also.  I can't wait to see what they come up with.  

Check out Country Craft Creations for the Graphic 45 Travelers Notebook, the Simple Stories Hearth and Home paper collection, and the Kraft Artisan Cardstock.  

A new take on an Infinity Explosion Box

 

I came up with another idea using my We R Memory Keepers Explosion Scoreboard!  This is a fun new idea, and would be great in any papers you wanted, it would make a great small gift box!  

The boards are on order (again!) and will be available soon at Country Craft Creations 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoy the tutorial. 

Stay crafty!
