Farmhouse Living Album Tutorial, a Design Team Project for Country Craft Creations

 Hello, and here is the tutorial for this album. I created it as a recipe album, and it will hold a ton of recipes and pictures. This is a collection by Echo Park, called Farmhouse Living, and it is a fun collection that has a very country vibe to it. It is available at Country Craft Creations.

I did do a walk through videos and you can see it here:

I reference the following tutorials: Lay Flat Album Cover Method Waterfall Tutorial Tamra's Channel, where she did her latest December Daily Tutorials for 2022 Below is a list of supplies I used. This is a big album, and does require a lot of supplies, but it is worth it! Also I have a cutting list for the pieces needed. Thanks so much for watching, I hope you enjoy the tutorial. Chipboard (12 x 12) - 2 Cardstock Artisan Red, one whole package Artisan Green, 8-10 (I used this for double matting on the front cover, and for accent pieces in the book) Artisan Summer Ivory, 4 Artisan Brown, 1-2 Magnets, 6 large Seambinding, 3 yards Patterned Paper Carta Bella Farmhouse Living, entire package which included stickers Carta Bella Farmhouse Living, Coordinating Solids Kit, one of these I purchased extra papers...two of the single sheet "Barn Wood", and one each of the 3 journaling card papers Flowers: Farmstead Easter Daisies The Cutting Board I used was a Silhouette File, called "Kitchen Set 7" by Studio Ilustrado.

Let's Make Some Flowers!! A Design Team Project for Country Craft Creations

 I had a viewer request to share my rolled flowers and how I did them. This is a blast from the past and is not my idea, but they are fun to make and you can do them with scraps! I am going old school also, pulling out my Fiskars decorative scissors!

I will show you a couple versions of rolled flowers and some punched flowers...also a new MUST HAVE flower making tool that you NEED! I'm using leftover scraps from my Configuration Card Project, which is a design team project for Country Craft Creations.

I'm using the exclusive paper collection "Blossoms in Springtime". You can find it here! The must have tool...The Heartfelt Creations 3D Shaping Mold, Floral Basics. I also want to link Bonnie's channel here...I mention her fantastic flower tutorials in my video. She has done several tutorials on the shaping of the flowers. Stop by and give her some love!

Love Letters Gift Box/Album, a project for Country Craft Creations

 

Hi, and Happy Valentine's Day! As promised to my fellow Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations Facebook group, here is the walk through-talk through of my "Love Letters" Gift Box/Album. The papers are exclusive to Country Craft Creations. They are GORGEOUS! I used them to create this fun project. I hope you love it as much as I do. For this project I used: 2 wood boxes with drawers from the Dollar Store Chipboard: 2 - 3 3/4 x 6 3/4 1 - 4 x 6 3/4 (the spine) Cardstock to cover chipboard: I used the lay flat method to cover the chipboard just like an album. Here is a tutorial if you wish to view it...https://youtu.be/VDrBoasyqtc 2 - 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 1 - 7 x 8 3/4 1 - 7 x 6 5/8 The inside accordion is 6 x 11, score on the 11 at 1/2, 4 and 7 1/2 The pocket on the inside of the spine is 5 x 3 1/2, score on the 5 at 1/2 each end and on the 3 1/2 at 1/2 I used about about 4 sheets of patterned paper and some scraps. I also used seam binding, about 1 1/2 yards. I used two Tim Holtz knobs that I had in my stash, along with the flowers, which were in my stash. I inked my edges and painted the boxes. When I painted the boxes, I painted the entire inside of the shells of the drawers. Everything else I just painted the edges since I covered them with patterned paper. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the project.
