Good day to you all!!!
I have the tutorial available for my latest mini album. This is a design team project that I did for Country Craft Creations. I am using Authentique's "Masquerade" paper collection and I think you are going to love it! I had some fun coming up with a couple of new ideas, and I have incorporated one of my other waterfall assemblies from a previous project in it. There are a ton of places for photos!
The video is a little on the long side, but it is worth the time...you will love this album. I love, love, LOVE Halloween, and this paper was a JOY to work with. You can find the video tutorial here.
Along with the "Masquerade" paper collection and Authentique's Spectrum (black, that I used for the large pocket tags) from Country Craft Creations, I also used Artisan cardstock in black and brown, chipboard, Scoretape sheets, Art Glitter Glue, and Seam Binding. The flowers, bling, and the frame on the cover were from my stash...from Recollections and Tim Holtz. The cover frame will hold a 4 x 6 photo.
Below are pictures of the cutting guide, and I also have a cutting list as well. You will need at least 7 sheets of patterned paper (that is what I used, more may be needed depending on how you cut it!), 14 sheets of black and 5 sheets of brown. I try to the absolute best of my abilities to keep a count of all that is used, but I am human, so I apologize if there is an error. If you notice something or have questions, please let me know!
I hope you enjoy the tutorial and make the album. It will be a fun one to look through in the years to come.
Happy Halloween!!!
Please note: There are cutting guides for BLACK and BROWN cardstock. Photos 1-10 are Black, then after there are photos 1-3 for Brown.
