Heart Explosion Box Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations design team project

 Hi all, and welcome to this fun tutorial.  Today we are going to be making this heart shaped explosion box that contains a mini album and two accordion album elements.  It also has a fun pop out feature.  I used "Love Letters" by Country Craft Creations for the initial project, and during this tutorial I'm making an "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" heart shaped box using Country Craft Creations "Homer's Diner".  The Shamrock is using Country Craft Creations "Ireland Forever".  

There is a lot of information in the tutorial.  We will be making patterns for the hearts, and the mats for those hearts.  I will show you how to make the "corners" to attach the pages together as well.  At the end of the video I have a share/talk through of a Shamrock Decor piece that I made using this tutorial...I think you will like it, so please watch through!  

I have a walk through of this project here:https://youtu.be/lilkNGbAKPg

There is a cutting guide here on Google Docs:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sA6sZPpM_Q0w0KaeERBb7133RyzuAjdU-Y7VKFOTM9w/edit?usp=sharing

It also contains pictures of my "maps" to show how to make the patterns for the cardstock hearts and the patterned papers to mat them.  I will also share these during the tutorial.  I hope you like it.  I don't usually do a document like this, but I think this project needed it.

The project takes approximately 6 sheets of cardstock and 8 sheets of patterned paper to make, each 12 x 12.

The embellishments I used are from my stash and leftovers from past design team packages. I do mention them in the tutorial.  The rest of the products used are:
