Country Craft Creations Design Team Project, Sweater Weather Accordion Box with Goodies!

 I had a few leftovers that I had to use up and so I came up with this fun little project I hope you like. This is an accordion box full of fun goodies using the leftovers from my previous tutorial. It measures 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 and has a 3" base. This doesn't take a whole lot of cardstock, only 2 sheets. I used Coffee Brown Artisan cardstock for the base. I used a little Natural Artisan for photo mats. I used scraps, but probably no more than two sheets. Everything else is from patterned paper scraps. I hope you like it!

Country Craft Creations Design Team Project: Sweater Weather Accordion Album Tutorial

Good morning!!!  I have a tutorial for you on my Sweater Weather Accordion Album featuring the paper collection by Echo Park and the Accordion Album by Uniquely Creative.  It is also featuring buttons and shaker bits from Buttons Galore and More.  I hope you love it because I really am happy with how it came out.  

I attached the links to the videos for my full walk through of the project as well as the Country Craft Creations design team haul video.  I also listed links to Country Craft Creations, where you can get all of the supplies, and MORE!  I love this store and the customer service and prices are amazing!

The measurements and scoring for all of the pattern papers are given in the video as they are used to make the page elements/pockets/etc. Have a pad and pen ready to jot down measurements. I used Natural Artisan Cardstock (linked below) to make photo mats and stacked waterfalls. You will need a total of: 6 - 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 10 - 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 2 - 8 x 4 1/4 2 - 7 x 4 1/4 I also used 6 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 printer paper to make the journals. I cut them in half to make 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 sheets, and used 4 sheets per journal, three journals in total. We will be doing the pamphlet stitch to bind them. There will be full explanation of how to make the page elements including the measurements, scoring, and trimming. I will share how to add the photo mats, how to sew in the journal pages, how to make some elements for the pockets, and all of the cover creation. I will do a little stamping and I did use a Leaf shaped punch for the project, but this is optional. If you have any questions after viewing the video please let me know. Have fun and remember to stay crafty!

Pamphlet Junk Journals

 I love this project.  I used up a bunch of ephemera paper packs that have been in my stash for YEARS!  I got them from a store that hasn’t been in business in a very long time (and I’m sad about it) and finally decided enough was enough and I needed to use it or lose it.

Thanks for watching, and remember to stay crafty!

Calendar Box Tutorial and Hanging Calendar Version, A Bonus Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 

Hi all! There is a story to this tutorial... This all started with making the Quilt Calendar Square designed originally by Angela Beavers. This was taught by Tamra, owner of Country Craft Creations in a live on the Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations Facebook Group back in 2018 with Angela's blessing and permission. I have always wanted to make one, so when I saw this project come up again as a member had made one recently, I discovered the tutorial and I made one. I wanted to make myself a hanging calendar, so that was the direction I was going in.

Then I was asked by a fellow CCC member, Jenny, to come up with a box to put calendars in, with an easel of some sort, specifically for a 6 x 6 calendar. The calendar size taught is 8 x 8. So my creativity kicked in, and I made a box for an 8 x 8 AND a 6 x 6 version. This tutorial will show you ALL of these options...two box sizes and how I made it into a hanging calendar.

I can not teach the actual Quilt Calendar tutorial. For that, you must be a member of the Country Craft Creations Facebook group to access that video. So please check it out, the information and link is below. Country Craft Creations is an amazing online community. Visit the store here. We have an amazing Facebook Community as well, so please check it out... I also have a printable for the 2025 calendar that I designed for myself. You can access this in the link below. PLEASE BE AWARE...This printable worked for my computer and my printers (I tried it on two of the printers I have) and how I describe to cut them in the tutorial worked for me. Please test and check your printable to make sure the measurements and cutting is accurate. I had to ensure I printed at 100%. Please Check your settings. Make a practice page by only printing one page to start. I also recommend that you download the PDF file and then try to print, as it did not work correctly just printing from Google Drive. I used a total of 14 different Country Craft Creations exclusive papers to make these calendars and will name them all in the video. I was able to make them all with scraps leftover from previous projects. The link for all of the papers is here, and you can find them here. If they are sold out they will be reprinted, so please check back. Artisan cardstock, 100 lb, is what I used for the boxes, it and all of the other colors of Artisan can be found here.

Here is the cardstock cutting list. The scoring and measurements for patterned paper is in the video. Box for 8 x 8 Calendars: Easel/Tray 1 - 11 x 8 1 - 3 x 6 Box 2 - 12 x 9 Box for 6 x 6 Calendars: Easel/Tray 1 - 11 x 8 Box 2 - 10 7/8 x 7 Hanging Version of an 8 x 8 Calendar Tab Dies from Scrap Diva measured approximately 2 3/8 x 2 before folded, I made 13 total Backing cardstock measured 7 7/8 x 7 7/8, I used a total of 13 of these Photo Corners, 24 pieces of cardstock at 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 Calendar printouts cut at 7 3/4 x 7 3/4 I know this is a lot of information. I hope that you join our group and create a calendar for your own. They are so much fun and so beautiful! Stay crafty, my friends!
