Midnight Manor Disk Bound October Daily Junk Journal Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 Hi all, and welcome back! Today I have a fun project for my fellow Halloween Junkies. I wanted to make a sort of October Daily/Junk Journal and I'm using the magnificent collection by Country Craft Creations called "Midnight Manor". This collection is so beautiful, and made a great project. The best part is that this is so adaptable that you can make this project for any type of journal or notebook. Country Craft Creations has many different collections that would also work. So if you aren't a Halloween Junkie, and would like to make one for Fall, or Christmas, or whatever...check it out Country Craft Creations.

I used the "Lay Flat Method" for making the cover of the book. If you haven't seen this method, check out this tutorial I did here. I use 5 Happy Planner Disks, in black, that are approximately 1 1/4" in diameter. Any disk for this type of notebook will work. I also used the We R Memory Keepers Disk Punch. Below is a cut guide for the cardstock and chipboard needed for the project. I cut the patterned paper for inside the journal/on the pockets at 1/8" smaller. For specialty cuts, I include directions in the video. Thanks so much for watching, and I'll see you soon with another tutorial. COVER Chipboard 2 - 7 x 9 1 - 2 x 9 Cardstock 2 - 9 x 11 1 - 5 x 11 1 - 6 x 8 7/8 MATTING FOR THE COVERS The covers are 7 x 9. I triple matted the patterned paper for the front and back covers, but only single matted for the spine. Silver Mirror 2 - 6 3/4 x 8 3/4 1 - 1 3/4 x 8 3/4 Antique Winter Gray, 2 - 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 Burgundy, 2 - 6 1/4 x 8 1/4 (Note, this paper is available but won't be for long, so if you need it you should order.) Patterned Paper 2 - 6 x 8 1 - 1 1/2 x 8 1/2 INSIDE COVER POCKETS (Note: these are the same size but are scored and trimmed differently) 2 - 7 7/8 x 12 BINDING MECHANISM FOR DISKS 1 - 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 1 - 1 x 8 1/2 POCKETS #1 1 - 11 x 12 #2 1 - 8 1/2 x 12 #3 1 - 10 x 12 That's it! The remaining inserts for this junk journal are up to your individual style! I did size this project to hold 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 papers, so one sheet of copy paper will make two pages for your journal.

The patterned papers, artisan cardstock, seambinding are all available at Country Craft Creations... Please check them out! Have fun, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching!!

Hocus Pocus Mini Folio Album, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 

Hello and welcome back to my channel!

Today I have a cute and quick project using my design team package from Country Craft Creations, https://countrycraftcreations.com.  I'm using Carta Bella's "Hocus Pocus" and it is a fun paper collection!  I was messing around with papers and stumbled upon this idea.  It s full of room for pictures...great for a quick gift/brag book...and it only uses 2 sheets of cardstock to construct!

In the tutorial I have a visual aid on how to cut the cardstock to make the pieces needed.  There is minimal waste of the cardstock.  However, I will also list the measurements below.  I also used 5 sheets of the patterned paper and one sheet of the coordinating cardstock.  On the front I have one of the shaker bubbles and I used black pom pom trim to cover the edges.  I will have links to all of the supplies used for this.  

I hope you enjoy the tutorial...Stay spooky, my friends!

Cutting List for Cardstock:  I list this in numbered pieces, because of the way I construct this project.  Cut one of each piece, except for the pockets where you will cut two of two different sizes.  Two of the pieces (#2 and #3) are the same size, but are scored differently.

#1 - 6 1/4 x 6, left flap

#2 - 10 x 6, right flap

#3 - 10 x 6, right flap

#4 - 5 1/2 x 7, top flap

#5 - 5 1/2 x 6 1/4, bottom flap

#6 - Pockets, 1 - 2 x 6, and 1 - 2 x 5 1/4

#7 - 5 x 5 1/2, flap to go onto piece #1

Homer's Diner Record Album Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

OMGEEEEE!!! I'm late! I totally forgot to post the link to this tutorial! I can't believe I did that!

This is a fun album that you are going to love...and it includes A REAL 45 ALBUM!

I am using the fantastic collection available only at Country Craft Creations called Homer's Diner...It is AMAZING! This 1950's themed paper is going to make you so happy when you use it!

My inspiration was a memory I had of books made to hold 45's, and then the players to play them. I was fortunate to find one in a local antique mall, and used the album as the cover of this book. If you can't find a 45, I will share with you a couple of methods to make one out of cardstock. Below is the cut list for this project. I hope you like it. If you have questions please let me know. Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you soon with more fun tutorials.

13 Frights Before Halloween 2022, Week #1

 

I’m doing an amazing collaboration with 10 other creative people for a fun 13 week project. We are all going to share with you, every Monday, a new Halloween related project. 

I have decided to do 13 weeks of fun cards. Some are cards I’ve designed, some are cards I have been wanting to learn how to make. By the end I’ll have made 26 cards!  Some will be fun  and kid friendly, some will be spooky. All will  help bust my paper stash!

Come on in to my haunted craft room and have some fun. I have a list of the other participating designers with their YouTube channel links in the description of my video.
