General Store Card Keeper Album with Slotted Hinge, a Collaboration with Jacqs Scraps and Country Craft Creations

 Hi all! This is a project share today, and I'm so excited. This is a collaboration with Jacqs Scraps, and I'm using Country Craft Creations "General Store" papers that I had leftover from a virtual retreat from July of 2022. This is such a fun project and a great tutorial by Jacqs Scraps! I had to make it and share it with you. I have lots of links below of the projects that have inspired this slotted hinge system. There are also SVG files you can get by following the links. Thanks so much for watching, and please let me know what you think! Links for the SVG files for the magazine holders and the slotted hinges are in the tutorials listed below.

 Good morning! 

I have another design team project for you for Country Craft Creations!

My tutorial is live for the Travelers Notebook that I did with Simple Stories "Simple Vintage Lakeside" and Country Craft Creations "By the Seaside".  

This features a NEW "Slotted Hinge" that I created.  

With an amazing collaboration with Jacqualine Hart, she has created a SVG file you can access through the tutorials. She also has done a variation of this hinge and has a tutorial to share as well.  

There are A LOT OF LINKS and INFORMATION in the video's description. I hope you enjoy it!

Stay crafty, my friends!

Let's Make Rosettes! A tutorial for Country Craft Creations

 

Hi all! Welcome to what I hope you’ll find as a fun and informative rosette tutorial. I have been making a ton of these lately, and had a few inquiries as to how to do it. Rosettes are fun to use for so many things, as I will share in the video. In the tutorial I will share how I make them and what I’ve found to be easy techniques that I use to make them. I’ll talk about size of paper strips, scoring widths, scoring technique, and putting them together. We also talk decorating! Then I’ll go over variations such as edge punching, folded edges, and making heart shapes. We will even have a card tutorial using rosettes. There really isn’t a cut guide. I will use 12” strips of paper. Widths vary, and I talk about that in the video. I hope you like it and it helps you to make your own lovely creations! The examples shown and made in the video use papers from 

Country Craft Creations 

and this is a design team tutorial for them as well. 

Thanks so much for watching! Tutorials for the projects I share at the beginning of the video:

Simple Vintage Lakeside Mini Album Tutorial

Hi and welcome back. I have a fun tutorial that you will love. This album features "layouts" on the inside covers, and three fully loaded pages with tags, pockets, tags and pop out elements. I used approximately 14 sheets of Antique Grey Artisan Cardstock, I sheet of Kraft Cardstock, about 20 sheets of patterned paper (which included the coordinating patterned paper that you can get with this collection), and 2 sheets of heavy weight chipboard.

 Please note: I used a lot of patterned paper in this project, but did have several "half sheets" of patterned paper left over. If you do this album like I did, you will need approximately 20 sheets but it can be done with less if you desire. It all depends on how you use your patterned paper.

If you would like to check out the walk through video I did, you can find it here.

I'm using Simple Stories "Simple Vintage Lakeside" which is available at Country Craft Creations.  

I'm using Artisan Cardstock in Antique Grey. I also use one sheet of Kraft cardstock for photo mats. The flowers are by 49 and Market. I also use Seam binding in Chocolate Brown. The twine and green ribbon used on the cover are from my stash. If you are unfamiliar with the Lay Flat album cover method I use for the cover, the tutorial is here.

I do have a cut list in the video description for this project. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I do.

Stay crafty, my friends!

Just a Little Catchup! A Country Craft Creations Design Team Package and a Tutorial...

 

First, I want to share the amazing goodies I got from Country Craft Creations in my March design team package.  I get to play with Simple Stories, "Simple Vintage Lakeside" and I love it!  Truth be told, I bought extra stuff also!  I can't wait to share with you what I'm starting off with, I came up with a page that I think you are going to love, and a different take on something I designed years ago...Stay tuned!  

I have also shared this tutorial.  I made a Victorian Sewing Box, in a different style, using items I got in the Your Creative Studio's December "Sewing" Box.  It is a great project, and very versatile. 

I did make another version of this, using papers from Country Craft Creations, "A Mother's Love". That video is below if you missed it.
