Graduate Cap Card Box Tutorial
This is a fun project that was suggested by one of my crafty friends, Heather. She needed a card box and this is what I came up with. It's quite easy to make and adaptable to any occasion you may need a card box for.
It's 8x8x8 and the slot is 7x1. It's plenty big, and the lid is removable for easy access after your party.
I hope you enjoy the video and have fun making it!
Stay crafty, my friends!

Halloween Mini Album Share
I made this mini as a prototype for the little mini I made for my Country Craft Creations design team project using Graphic 45. It turned out so sweet and cute that I just had to share this. I bought this Prima paper (“Luna”) from Country Craft Creations a couple of years ago. I bought so much I just keep using it! I love it! I can see this being a fun gift or even a brag book. It is a great stash/scrap buster as well. The tutorial for this beautiful little mini is in this tutorial. Grow With Love Explosion box Tutorial Part 2, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project. This is part 2 of a three part tutorial.

Another We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board Tutorial...An Alternate Lid Design!!!
So, y'all know I love me my explosion boxes. In this video I decided to try a new lid technique using the explosion score board. I am also using up some left over papers that my BFF gave me as part of the #smashyourcraftystash2024 and #craftygoals2024. I am making this cute gift box/explosion box album with patterned paper only, and a cool new lid idea. I hope you like it. I did make a cheat sheet for you to download/print for the cardstock sizes needed for this lid technique and will explain it in the video. I hope you like this idea. It was another one of my ah-ha moments. Thanks for watching and have a crafty day!!! Here's the link to the cheat sheet for the NEW lid sizing.
