Here it is, thanks for being patient! I finally have made the tutorial for my Junk Portfolio. This is made from 4 grocery bags and it is loaded with pages and pockets and possibilities. The bags I used were 12” wide, 10 1/2 tall and the bottoms are 6 3/4.
I have used Tim Holtz papers for this version, along with a lot of fun ephemera and goodies that I have made in the past and kept for just the right project to use them with.
The full walk through of my first portfolio is here ...
Thanks for watching and I hope you have fun making one for yourself!!!
She did this as part of her craft fair series. I was super intrigued by these and had to make one.
Then I made a bigger sized one.
Then I made a do-si-do version.
I really hope you like these! I was able to smash the rest of my Photo Play "Fright Night" paper collection. I had used it for a prototype project, and had some left over that I used up for these.
Thanks so much for watching. Please check out her tutorial, the binding is fantastic. I hadn't seen that before!
If you want to make the bigger size one like I did, here are the measurements and scoring...
For each journal the large pages were 12 x 7 1/2, score on the 12 at 5 1/2, 6, 6 1/2. Make two
For the mini page, it was 12 x 4 1/2, score the same as the large page
For the pocket page, 11 x 9 1/2. Score on the 11 at 5 1/2, score on the 9 1/2 at 2 (on the bottom)
The spine is 2 x 7 1/2
The tag I cut at 4 1/2 x 7 1/4
Then I just went to town decorating!
Stay crafty, my friends
This is a fun project, and one that I think you will love. This is a decor piece but also could be used for a stunning three tiered gift box! It all stores in itself and can be used for years to come as a decor piece on your special days. I will also be showing you how I created all of the flowers for this project. It's pretty big once assembled, about 15"! You won't miss this at the party!
I have the cut list for cardstock below (scoring and patterned paper will be done in the tutorial) along with a list/links of the products I used from Country Craft Creations.
You will also need BATTERY OPERATED TEA LIGHTS for this project if you wish. DO NOT USE REAL CANDLES!!!
Thanks so much for watching. I really hope you enjoy the project. I thought it was a blast to make!

She wanted a Document Folder that would be big enough to hold large certificates and items for safekeeping, could be stored in a file cabinet and could also be pretty enough to be out on the coffee table to share with family.
The shopping haul video where I shared the prototype I made is here in case you missed it.
I came up with this design, and with the papers I purchased from Country Craft Creations I made this tutorial. In the video's description are a list of supplies from Country Craft Creations and a cut list for the cardstock. The patterned papers will be discussed in the video. Thanks for watching! The tutorial is here, https://youtu.be/tT-SzRAmzPE?si=xFA7j33XwojbtMrw

This is a fun one, and I hope you like it. I'm using the "Birthday" paper collection from Country Craft Creations, and it is just beautiful! I made this folio with the Artisan Cardstock (no chipboard needed). It is full of fun places to put pictures, and even pockets big enough to hold cards received. Below is a cut list for the cardstock (the patterned paper measurements are in the tutorial, so have a notepad handy), and a supply list for the items I received in my design team package for this project.
Have fun, and stay crafty!
I did a haul video for this design team package, and it is here.

This is a quick tutorial on how I made an ephemera folio to hold bits and pieces you want to save for future projects. I shared this in the Country Craft Creations Welcome Summer Retreat Facebook page, and was asked about a tutorial, so here it is. 😎 It's very simple, and free-form so you can really do whatever you want with it. I hope you enjoy this and make some for yourself. I’m using my last bits of the exclusive collection, Soar, by Country Craft Creations. Soar, and many other different and beautiful papers can be found at Country Craft Creations, https://countrycraftcreations.com
The measurements and scoring are in the video, and you only need 2 patterned papers at 8x8, and then scraps to make the pockets. That's it! Easy Peasy!

Today I have my August edition of #craftygoals2024 for you to check out. I did a lot!!! There are a ton of cards in this video...and a lot of links to tutorials I used for them.
Have fun with this and I'll see you soon with more fun stuff.
I did two tutorials recently and I think you will love them.
They are super quick and easy, and best of all, you can use up scraps to make them (which is what I did).
This first one is a card tutorial that I revamped from tutorials I have seen, changed things to inches from centimeters, and added my hints and tips to make them successful for you do do. And, I made another Christmas card, so YAY, CHRISTMAS IN JULY PROJECT!
In the second tutorial I did a pop up album that I have seen in multiple places, but again added a little spin on the cover, and used my scrap Doodlebug Halloween papers to make it. I think it turned out amazing, and I think you will love how easy it is.
Thanks so much for checking these out and I hope you have fun trying them out. I loved them so much, and plan to make more!
Hi all, and welcome. I recently saw a video by Shrushti Patil on YouTube with a new variation of a pop up card that has been around for a while. I loved the additional page so I sat and worked out a version in inches and added a pocket on the back for a gift card. I made several birthday cards with this design and came up with some hints and tips for you so that you can make the cards successfully. I know that for those of us who don't use centimeters the inches conversions can be tricky. Here's what I came up with. I've made 5 so far and they work perfectly. If you want to see the original video it is here. Please check it out.
I did use papers from my stash. The patterned papers were leftovers from a retreat I did with Country Craft Creations, and they are older, so I don't know if they are available any more. I also used cardstock from Country Craft Creations. Check it out if you are interested.
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy it!
Cut List: All scoring and how I cut my patterned papers are in the tutorial
1 - 6 1/4 x 9 1/2
2 - 1 1/2 x 4 3/4
2 - 4 5/8 x 3/4
2 - 3 1/16 x 3/4
2 - 7 x 3 1/8
The envelope is cut from patterned paper. It is 7 x 3 1/8
Hey all! I have this fun and quick project to share with you! Dig out your Cowboys paper by Carta Bella and some Happy Planner Discs and make a great little project with your scraps!
All of the information is in the video. I hope you like it!!
I have a new design team project for Country Craft Creations for you today!
Hello and welcome to the video! This came about from a request from one of my subscribers, @marilynb8704 who had asked me if I could do a tutorial using 8 1/2 x 11" paper to make a configuration page album. I have done this in the past, but used 12 x 12 papers. So I revamped an older tutorial, added a few things, and taa daa! I'm using "Cowboys" by Carta Bella, and I think it turned out amazing! The original tutorial this one is based off of is here...Summer Configurations Mini Album Tutorial https://youtu.be/ggmdSDufKKA
