Simple Stories Boho Baby Mini Album Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

I have my baby tutorial up and available.  

I'm using the Simple Stories "Boho Baby" collection for the tutorial as it is my design team paper collection. I did the prototype in the exclusive Country Craft Creations collection "Baby Dreams Boy".  Please check out the store here.

I will share a walk through of the "Baby Dreams Boy" at the end of the tutorial. There is a walk through of the "Boho Baby" album at the beginning of the tutorial. I hope you enjoy the tutorial.  

There is an extensive list for cutting the main pages and the mats/interactions added to the album in the video description. Also, there is a list of the supplies used and where you can get them. 

Stay Crafty! Enjoy!

Explosion Board Gift Boxes! One Size Paper, 7 Different Boxes!

 Hi all...This is a quick tutorial on how I used my Explosion Scoreboard to make 7 different sized boxes, using the same size piece of cardstock.  

Actually, when you click the link in the video description, I also figured out more...21 sizes of gift boxes in all, square based and rectangular based. I had done this around Christmas but just now finished writing up the chart. (My new Fur Ever Friends Mini Album Tutorial will be finished uploading soon...so while we wait for that...)  

There is a companion chart to go with the video.

Happy Crafting!

 Hi and welcome back. I have a mini album walk through today. I'm using "Fur Ever Friends", an exclusive collection from Country Craft Creations.

It is a beautiful collection. I did a design team haul, if you missed it, you can see it here. This album features a couple fun new ideas. I have come up with a new stacked page that creates a horizontal and a vertical photo mat opportunity. I think I will call it the "Corner Bound Stacked Page". In this walk through and the tutorial I didn't know what to name it! HAHA!! Below is a list of the supplies I used with links to the website for you to check out. I'll be back soon with the tutorial.

Word Block Decor Project, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 Good morning!  I have a quick project to share while I’m finishing up another one. It’s another “dollar store” project, and it’s quick, easy and fun!  (And it’s a scrap buster!)

Please visit Country Craft Creations for your supplies and I’ll see you soon with another project!

Hi and welcome back to the blog. Today I have a fun project that includes repurposing some Dollar Store boxes and a mini album. I have a video tutorial showing the whole process.

I'm using the exclusive paper collection "The Music Box" from Country Craft Creations. Its a very beautiful paper collection and I loved making this project with it. I will have a full list of supplies and links to them so you can check them out and/or purchase them from Country Craft Creations.

During the video I will go step by step to tell you how I made the project. Because I am using a premade box, and because your box may differ in size, I am not going to give a cutting list for the cardstock or patterned paper for it. I will, however, list the papers used for the mini album that I put inside the album. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you enjoy the project! SUPPLIES USED: Dollar Store Boxes.

Love Letters Junk Journal, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 I have a simple tutorial for a fun journal that doesn't require a lot of cardstock and uses the last bits of a collection you may have. It also is a great stash buster for saved bits and pieces you may have. I use some homemade flowers as well!  

Happy Friday! Stay crafty this weekend!
