Blossoms in Springtime, Graduated Page Accordion Album Tutorial

 

Hello and welcome back. I have a tutorial for a fun accordion style album that uses this beautiful exclusive collection, Blossoms in Springtime, from Country Craft Creations. 

For this video I made a companion guide that will be useful to go along with the tutorial. Because of the nature of this album, it may be easier to have this and take notes during the tutorial. You can find this PDF file here. (Edited to add that I fixed the link, so it should be working now!!! Sorry for the inconvenience!) Below is a list of products used and a cutting list for the project. I hope you enjoy it and have fun making the project. As a reminder, at Country Craft Creations website you can check out the "About Us" section that will give you information about the Facebook community, as well as the other designers in the group. Please check us out! Cutting List: The white cardstock, which makes up the base of the album, is the 100 lb Artisan Cardstock. All measurements are for that white cardstock. Other pieces in different cardstock (Gold Mirror or Summer Ivory) will be noted.
