Smashing my Stash...Simple Stories "Let's Get Crafty"

This is a video share that I thought I'd share.  I'm trying to smash my crafty stash, and I made some fun things...

I hope it inspires you to do the same.  There are so many fun things you can make with leftover items.  

Stay crafty, my friends!

Birthday Photo File

 I have a quick video available of the prototype I made for my Photo File project I thought I’d share. I don’t usually do videos with my prototypes but I just love this project and it’s made with 🎈birthday papers🎈!

The papers are from my stash.

I hope you like it. The tutorial is here. 

Another We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board Tutorial...An Alternate Lid Design!!!

So, y'all know I love me my explosion boxes. In this video I decided to try a new lid technique using the explosion score board. I am also using up some left over papers that my BFF gave me as part of the #smashyourcraftystash2024 and #craftygoals2024. I am making this cute gift box/explosion box album with patterned paper only, and a cool new lid idea. I hope you like it.

I did make a cheat sheet for you to download/print for the cardstock sizes needed for this lid technique and will explain it in the video. I hope you like this idea. It was another one of my ah-ha moments. Thanks for watching and have a crafty day!!! Here's the link to the cheat sheet for the NEW lid sizing.

Photo Cube Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 

I'm back...YAY! I have finally been able to get this tutorial done. Ruth, from Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations (find this amazing Facebook page through this link) had asked me if I could figure this out, and I think I did. This is a fun project and it looks great in many different papers, and would be amazing with photos one it intermingled with the fantastic patterned papers I used. For the tutorial I used, from Country Craft Creations, "By the Seaside" and "Love You Forever" I also used scraps from a previous design team package, Echo Park's "Boho Baby" and a collection I purchased from Country Craft Creations, Prima's "Luna". The cardstock is artisan. I used Kraft in two of photo cubes, and White 100 lb for two of the photo cubes. I also used Art Glitter Glue. I hope you enjoy the tutorial...it is really fun to make and easy to do. The cut guide for the cardstock is simple, and I go through all of the patterned papers and their cutting in the tutorial. Thanks for watching, and stay crafty!! Triangles: 2 - 6 x 6 8 - 10 3/4 x 2 1/2 Box: 1 - 10 3/8 x 10 3/8 Belly Band 2 - 3 x 10

Horizontal Never Ending Mini Album Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

I thought I'd post this for a fun Friday night project. This is perfect for a quick project, quick gift, and also for a craft fair quickie project that will use up your scraps.  

This is a variation of my never ending album, and I quite like how it turned out. I used scraps of past design team packages, Simple Stories Boho Baby and our very own Country Craft Creations Bon Voyage! I hope you enjoy this fun project!!
