Gift /Card Box Tutorial, and More! Another Design Team Project for Country Craft Creations!

I have a new tutorial on my YouTube channel that I think you’re going to love. This is a great box that will not only hold.4 1/4” x 5 1/2” Greeting cards, but it is big enough to be a great gift box to hold all sorts of items.

This is a Country Craft Creations design team project using Photo Play’s Holly and Ivy collection. I had scraps left over that I wanted to use, and came up with some fun ways to use them as well as the leftover cutter parts.

 

I hope you enjoy it.  Please read the video description for information and a coupon code for shopping at Country Craft Creations!

Country Craft Creations, Hearth & Holiday Album Tutorial, Special Bonus Redo of a Previous Tutorial!

Welcome!  Today I have a fun project for you!  I redid a previous tutorial I made back in 2023 with these Christmas papers I received in  Country Craft Creations Mystery Boxes.  I have wanted to do this for a very long time.

The papers I used this time are from Simple Stories, Hearth and Holiday from 2022.  I love them!  I also decided to add a few fun things to the original design I did with Simple Stories, Simple Vintage Berry Fields Papers.

I added a pocket and a gatefold insert...

a pull tab reverse waterfall...

and an additional pocket on the inside front cover.

Come check out the video...

Have a merry and crafty day!!
