Making Flowers

 This isn't really a tutorial, but I wanted to share what I was up to during the last couple of days.

I was at the Country Craft Creations virtual retreat and one of the classes was making flowers...which got me thinking...  

Do you have a container full of petals?  Remember buying packages of flower "makings" to add to your pages and cards?  Then came along the multitudes of beautiful premade flowers and all of my petals just kind of got forgotten.  I have huge containers of them!

I dug them out and decided to make some flowers while watching Pirates of the Caribbean the other night.  It was super fun and so easy, and very relaxing.

I stacked them until I was happy with the colors, and the "fluff" of the petals and then used my tiny stapler and stapled them in the middle.  I can add centers later.  For the centers you can use buttons, gems, flat backed pearls, whatever you want.  Some of them I did add the above, and also raided my stash of brads!  I can't believe how many of those I have also!  

This was quite a stash buster, and now I have more premade flowers to use in future projects.  

This idea was born because of the Country Craft Creations virtual retreat.  If you haven't checked out this company please do.  It is an amazing place with a huge community on Facebook.  The supplies you can order are truly second to none, and the designers have a ton of free tutorials for you to use.  Give it a go...and the virtual retreats are amazing!!!

Infinity Explosion Box Tutorial 😎

 I have another tutorial using the We R Memory Keepers Explosion Score Board. This is an old idea but I figured out how to make it using this board. 


In the video I show you how to put together the bases for a single box and a double box. Have fun with it! 

I used patterned paper from Echo Park.  The base and photo mats are made with Artisan Cardstock from Country Craft Creations.  

Stay Crafty,

Fret no more, L😂L!  I made a quick tutor showing how I made these great little sanity savers!  I have made so many…

Notepad Covers, A Tutorial

 In a recent video I mentioned some things that could be added to complete a gift.  These were simple notepad covers complete with pockets.  I was asked by one of the ladies in the Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations Facebook Group if there was a tutorial for those...well now there is!


All measurements for the cardstock, patterned papers and the notepads are given in the video.  This is a quick and easy way to complete a great gift.  I hope you like it.

The tutorial that started this was my design team project for Country Craft Creations, and the tutorial was for my Retro Men Desk Caddy.  That tutorial is here.


Thanks for watching, and stay crafty!!

Side Opening Gift Box Using the Explosion Scoreboard

 While I’m working on my next design team tutorial for Country Craft Creations  I thought I’d share this. I had scraps leftover from a previous design team package that I used to decorate this new box project that I used the Explosion scoreboard to make. If you don’t have the scoreboard the only things you need to change are:  score the 12x12 at 4” on all 4 sides and score the sides at 2” on all 4 sides. 


Have fun and stay crafty!!
