We are so glad you are here! We love making and sharing our projects, and we are excited to have you visiting our site. Please leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
I posted some fun and quick tutorials that I wanted to share with you.
The first one is something that has been around for a while but I rediscovered it and thought about how I could use it in junk journals. The Origami Corner Bookmark is fun and easy and so pretty!
The Rolling Ephemera Holder/Organizer tutorial is practical! Store and sort and display your bits and pieces for your projects in a creative way! I share how to make this and believe me, you will want to.
Hi!!! I have two tutorials for you that I have posted in the last two days and I think you'll like them!
The first is the pen holder idea I came up with, inspired by another creator on YouTube "Medieval Mirage". The link to the video she did that inspired me is in the video description box. This is a fun tutorial, is extremely useful, and uses scraps. What can be better than that??
And this tutorial is a pictorial on how I made 6 different tags for journals. In the video I have pictures of the drawings with instructions on how to make them. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
I made a smaller version of my Simple Stories Simple Vintage Berry Fields album using Country Craft Creations "Stars and Strips". https://countrycraftcreations.com
In the video I will do a walk through, and I have all of the cut and scoring information in the description for the smaller version. There are also links to the original tutorial. I won't be doing a tutorial specific to this size, as it is made/constructed exactly the same as the larger version.
Thanks so much for watching, and have a crafty day!
This is a tutorial for a fun little configuration page album using Country Craft Creations "Attic Antiques" paper. In this album I am incorporating two dies that I purchased at the Country Craft Creations brick and mortar store while in Utah last May. This album also used Graphic 45 tags that I purchased there as well. In the video description there is a list of the supplies I used, and a cut guide.
Good morning. I have a walk through for you for an upcoming tutorial using "Attic Antiques". This is a Country Craft Creations collection, and will be a design team project.
Once again, this is a catch up post. I have been busy and then sick and it has messed up my whole plan of action lately.
For my May design team package for Country Craft Creations I received this beautiful collection of Simple Stories "Simple Vintage Berry Fields" and it is amazing. I did a shopping/design team haul in this video, so you can see all of the goodies I received.
My first project using this paper was this very cool Honeycomb Ephemera Organizer. I also made ephemera to go into it.
The "big", and I mean BIG project is this album. It is 10 x 10 with a 3" spine. This paper was beautiful with it. I can also see it as a baby album, recipe album, wedding album, or even an October or December Daily album. It has so many opportunities with it.
The full walk through is here.
And the tutorial is here.
I hope that you enjoy this project. I will be back soon, sooner than I have been lately, and share more goodies with you.
Hi all! I have been a little behind in updating the blog. I've been busy. Work has been excessive lately. I did get to go to the retreat for Country Craft Creations and had a blast! I have been home and getting back into the swing of things.
I have my new design team package, and it's delicious. Simple Stories, Simple Vintage Berry Fields.
This is the haul video I did.
I also made this demo organizer...
And from that I made a version for the design team package!
I also did a guide that goes along with it, a Google Doc. You can access it through the video above or by clicking here.
Thanks for sticking with me, and I'll see you soon with more goodies!
My tutorial is live for the Travelers Notebook that I did with Simple Stories "Simple Vintage Lakeside" and Country Craft Creations "By the Seaside".
This features a NEW "Slotted Hinge" that I created.
With an amazing collaboration with Jacqualine Hart, she has created a SVG file you can access through the tutorials. She also has done a variation of this hinge and has a tutorial to share as well.
There are A LOT OF LINKS and INFORMATION in the video's description. I hope you enjoy it!
Hi all! Welcome to what I hope you’ll find as a fun and informative rosette tutorial. I have been making a ton of these lately, and had a few inquiries as to how to do it. Rosettes are fun to use for so many things, as I will share in the video.
In the tutorial I will share how I make them and what I’ve found to be easy techniques that I use to make them. I’ll talk about size of paper strips, scoring widths, scoring technique, and putting them together. We also talk decorating!
Then I’ll go over variations such as edge punching, folded edges, and making heart shapes. We will even have a card tutorial using rosettes.
There really isn’t a cut guide. I will use 12” strips of paper. Widths vary, and I talk about that in the video. I hope you like it and it helps you to make your own lovely creations!
The examples shown and made in the video use papers from
Hi and welcome back. I have a fun tutorial that you will love. This album features "layouts" on the inside covers, and three fully loaded pages with tags, pockets, tags and pop out elements. I used approximately 14 sheets of Antique Grey Artisan Cardstock, I sheet of Kraft Cardstock, about 20 sheets of patterned paper (which included the coordinating patterned paper that you can get with this collection), and 2 sheets of heavy weight chipboard.
Please note: I used a lot of patterned paper in this project, but did have several "half sheets" of patterned paper left over. If you do this album like I did, you will need approximately 20 sheets but it can be done with less if you desire. It all depends on how you use your patterned paper.
If you would like to check out the walk through video I did, you can find it here.
First, I want to share the amazing goodies I got from Country Craft Creations in my March design team package. I get to play with Simple Stories, "Simple Vintage Lakeside" and I love it! Truth be told, I bought extra stuff also! I can't wait to share with you what I'm starting off with, I came up with a page that I think you are going to love, and a different take on something I designed years ago...Stay tuned!
I have also shared this tutorial. I made a Victorian Sewing Box, in a different style, using items I got in the Your Creative Studio's December "Sewing" Box. It is a great project, and very versatile.
I did make another version of this, using papers from Country Craft Creations, "A Mother's Love". That video is below if you missed it.
This was fun to do! While I am waiting for the mail to deliver my next design team project I decided to dive into the scraps...and I mean scraps...of my past design team projects and create some fun things.
These paper collections aren't available in the Country Craft Creations store anymore, as they are older collections, but there are many many more collections to be had. You can use any and all scraps you have to do some really fun things.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you soon with more tutorials.
I have a remake of my Baby's First Year Album that I wanted to share. I used Baby Dreams Girl from Country Craft Creations, and I updated the waterfall to my stacked technique. Both of those tutorials are listed in the video description. I hope you like this album...I think it's GORGEOUS!
I used a variety of items from Country Craft Creations. Please check out the store...it's amazing!!
This project is a variation of the hidden flap card design that has been everywhere in the crafty universe. I was playing with the design and came up with this idea. It can be made as a single "folio" with one assembly, or can be combined into this assembly of 3 "folios" which creates a never ending type of album. I hope you like it. I also will share with you a bonus rosette tutorial, it's a fun and different way to make one.
There is a cut guide for the cardstock and links to the items used in the tutorial if you look in the description of the video.
There is also a bonus in that I share how to make the fun rosette on the front...it is a different way to make one and I absolutely love how it turned out.
In case you missed the walk through video, that is posted below.
I have another Country Craft Creations design team project where I did a fun little thing. I combined the amazing Ooh- La-La Patissierie papers with a collection of dies that I purchased from the store, and I made this awesome little notebook.
There is a lot of information and links in the video description, so please check it out. I appreciate you all and all of your support!
Hi all and good morning. I published this shopping haul from Country Craft Creations. I had to replenish my "Ireland Forever" paper collection, AND get the NEW companion pack of papers for it. THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! You have to see these...AHHHHHMAZING!!!
At the end of the video I have a little tutorial on the Iris Shutter Dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs. This mechanism is so fun and can be used in so many things. Please come check this out!
Hi all and welcome to my blog. I'm using a lovely collection exclusive to Country Craft Creations. Ooh-La-La Patissierie is a collection for the baker in all of us. I made this fun configuration album and it hold so many recipe cards and has a lot of room for photos.
In the videos description I have for you a cut guide for the project. There are also links to most of the products and some supplies I used. Some of the embellishments are from past design team projects and may not be available, but I did put a generic link so that you may get something similar from the store.
Hi all, and welcome to this fun tutorial. Today we are going to be making this heart shaped explosion box that contains a mini album and two accordion album elements. It also has a fun pop out feature. I used "Love Letters" by Country Craft Creations for the initial project, and during this tutorial I'm making an "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" heart shaped box using Country Craft Creations "Homer's Diner". The Shamrock is using Country Craft Creations "Ireland Forever".
There is a lot of information in the tutorial. We will be making patterns for the hearts, and the mats for those hearts. I will show you how to make the "corners" to attach the pages together as well. At the end of the video I have a share/talk through of a Shamrock Decor piece that I made using this tutorial...I think you will like it, so please watch through!
I have a walk through of this project here:https://youtu.be/lilkNGbAKPg
There is a cutting guide here on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sA6sZPpM_Q0w0KaeERBb7133RyzuAjdU-Y7VKFOTM9w/edit?usp=sharing
It also contains pictures of my "maps" to show how to make the patterns for the cardstock hearts and the patterned papers to mat them. I will also share these during the tutorial. I hope you like it. I don't usually do a document like this, but I think this project needed it.
The project takes approximately 6 sheets of cardstock and 8 sheets of patterned paper to make, each 12 x 12.
The embellishments I used are from my stash and leftovers from past design team packages. I do mention them in the tutorial. The rest of the products used are:
