Country Craft Creations Tag Album, Using Up Your Leftovers!

Did you think I was finished with this cute collection?

I had a few leftovers and wanted to see what I could do with them. I hate wasting paper, so I raided my stash of Country Craft Creations supplies and came up with this little gem. I used Graphic 45 tags, cut them to fit the leftovers I had, and came up with this. I hope it inspires you to use up your leftovers too! This isn't a true tutorial, but I tell you how I did it and what the measurements are...it will give you ideas to make your own little masterpiece!

Come and see how I made this cute tag album using what I had in my leftovers and in my Country Craft Creations stash of supplies. Raid your supplies...what can you create today?

Stay Crafty, my friends!

Country Craft Creations Design Team Project, Using Carta Bella's "On the Farm". Let's make a Tag Shaped Album with Tag Shaped Features!!!

This one is so cool and so much fun!  This is my March Design Team Project for Country Craft Creations.  I'm using Carta Bella's "On the Farm".

I started by having an idea for a tag shaped photo album...

Then I decided to see how many ways I could incorporate tag shaped features...

There are tag booklets, tag pages, tag waterfalls, tag belly bands...

Seriously, this album is LOADED WITH TAGS!

Come and see how this is put together, it is soooooo easy!

The walk through is below...

And the tutorial is here...

I hope you like it!

In both videos there is information on ordering the supplies I used in this project.  In the tutorial video I have written a cut guide for the chipboard and for the cardstock.

Have fun, and stay crafty!

Good Times Tag Pocket/Frame Album

 Hello!  I am “back” from the Country Craft Creations Virtual Retreat, Crafting at the General Store!  What a fun weekend. If you haven’t checked out the retreats at Country Craft Creations you have to!  They are so much fun and, WOW!  The projects are fabulous!  I have one more to make and then I’ll do a little video share to show you what we do all weekend!

I’m the meantime I have this share of a quick album I made. This happened because of a clearance sale at a local store I just ran into. I used Simple Stories Chipboard frames, papers from my stash, and voilà, a new mini. This is a walk through/talk through video. I don’t have a tutorial but I tell you exactly what I did. 

I did use Art Glitter Glue, seam binding and some Artisan Cardstock from Country Craft Creations. The papers I used are scraps from previous projects by Echo Park, two different collections that I put together. I think that they all worked beautifully together. 

Have fun and I’ll see you soon with another tutorial. I have so many things in the works!

Tag Book, Box, and Shadow Box Shaker Frame Tutorial, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project

 Happy 4th of July! Hi, and welcome back. Today I have this fun tutorial to share.  

This is a project I made with leftovers from a swap/collaboration project I made with Bobbie Weaver...that hasn't been shared yet because I need to send it tomorrow. (Once we have received each others projects we will share the tutorials and reveals!) I mention this in the video, and here is the link to Bobbie's YouTube page so you can check it out and subscribe so you won't miss it! Bobbie is one of our fantastic designers at Country Craft Creations, and I'm excited that she contacted me to do the upcoming swap project, and thrilled to have one of her creations in my collection!

The Paper Jungle with Bobbie Weaver I'm using Echo Parks "Let Freedom Ring", that I purchased from Country Craft Creations. You can find this collection here. I used the Heartfelt Creations dies to make the tags. They are currently out of stock, but you can check back as they are getting restocked. Artisan Cardstock: Red, Navy and Baby Blue, White. There ribbon, book ring, charms, button, and shaker elements are from my stash. Below is the cut list. This is a very simple project, and I hope you enjoy it! Tags: The die cuts them roughly 4 x 6. If you don't have the die, just cut them and create your own. I covered the fronts with patterned papers and the backs with white Artisan Cardstock. Box: 2 - 7 3/4 x 7 3/4 Shaker Shadow Box: 1 - 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 (Sized for a 3 x 4 journal card) Shaker Frame: 1 - 3 7/8 x 4 7/8 Acetate: 3 3/8 x 4 3/8 I mention a link to my "Easiest Ever Shaker Tutorial". Here is the video for that tutorial.

I have tried to make sure everything is accurate. If you discover something or have any questions, please let me know. Have a great holiday, and I'll see you soon with another tutorial!
