1 1/4 Sheet Wonder Mini Album Tutorial

 

I have another tutorial, a design team project for Country Craft Creations, using Carta Bella’s Farmhouse Summer paper collection. This is a fun collection and I know you will love it!  

This album is a meander style album but I added a little bit more paper to make it a little bigger. It’s perfect for using up scraps or the 6x6 paper pad that I received with this collection. I also used Artisan Cardstock and seam binding from Country Craft Creations.  

Have fun and stay crafty!

I have a new tutorial for Country Craft Creations...A Farmhouse Summer Folio!

 Hi all! I have my first tutorial using Carta Bella's "Farmhouse Summer". This is a beautiful collection that I am using from Country Craft Creations. You can find all of the supplies which include the ephemera and enamel dots here.

I have made a fun folio with some great interaction, but also a lot of places to put photos. Below are the cutting lists for the pieces. I also used Artisan cardstock in White and seam binding in Deep Navy and Dark Olive Drab. That's it! I kept this one simple and didn't even use flowers. I let the collection speak for itself. Cover Pieces: 2 - 6 3/4 x 8 2 - 8 3/4 x 8 Front and Back Cover Flaps for Popup 2 - 6 x 8 2 - 3 x 8 Mid Section Flaps 4 - 6 x 4 7/8 2 - 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 Accordion Pages and Pockets 2 - 12 x 8 2 - 6 3/4 x 4 2 - 6 7/8 x 4 That's it! Have fun with the tutorial and I'll see you soon with another tutorial! Stay Crafty!

Easiest Ever Shaker Tutorial

I have a tutorial for a “new to me” technique. I’m calling it the “Easiest Ever Shaker”. It’s a fun technique that may change shaker cards for me forever!

I’m using leftovers from previous  Country Craft Creations  design team packages.  Check out the paper collections in her store! 

I hope you enjoy it!

Variable Sized Page Journal Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 Welcome to my Country Craft Creations design team project using the exclusive paper collection, "Dream of Home". This is a beautiful paper with vibes of country and vintage themes and you will love it.

I came up with a traveler's notebook style journal...I hesitate to call it a junk journal, but I guess in theory it is...the paper is just too pretty to call it junk. The idea came to me from using up scraps of 8x8 paper in a very old collection I recently found in my craft room. I will share that prototype and show you how it morphed into the project I am sharing today. I will also show you how sew the signatures and how to create the binding. As an added bonus I also made some ephemera to put in the journal and I share how I did that. In my design team package I received both the 12 x 12 and the 8 x 8 paper packs, and I did use both in this project. You will need one sheet of heavy weight chipboard, about 6 sheets of the 12 x 12 (which includes two of the cutapart sheets), and 17 sheets of the 8 x 8 paper. I used several embellishments, and the ones that are from Country Craft Creations I have listed below with links. You will also need journaling paper of some sort. I used a variety of paper in this project, but plain old copy paper will also work great. I used waxed bookbinding thread also for sewing the signatures. Thank you so much for watching. I do appreciate your support. Lay Flat Cover Tutorial, in case you haven't seen this.
