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.

NEW!!! Baby Explosion Box Tutorial, Large 6 x 6" size!
I have made a new explosion box, supersized to 6 x 6". This was a request from one of my subscribers, so I hope that it is what they wanted to see!
I made a smaller version that was too small for all I wanted to do with it...so the bigger size was just what was needed. The video has all of the information in it, and a cutting guide in the description.
I'm using Echo Parks "Our Baby" paper collection. It took about one pack. I also used Artisan Cardstock, seambinding and Art Glitter Glue from Country Craft Creations. https://countrycraftcreations.com
Thanks so much for watching and visiting my blog. Have a super crafty day!

Santa's Little Helper Pamphlet Project, a Country Craft Creations Design Team Project
Hi all!!! This project was purely a whimsical idea that I needed to try. I had a few pages left over from this amazing collection and I decided to make a quick and easy project that smashed the paper pack. This is a quick pamphlet booklet type project that was whipped up in less than an hour and makes a cute gift or a great addition to your recipe book collection. You just need a few pages, I used 8x8 sheets of patterned paper and some scraps to make pockets. I used a couple of items from my stash also. I hope this is something you will try! Please visit Country Craft Creations at https://countrycraftcreations.com for this and many more exclusive to Country Craft Creations paper collections. There is something there you will love, believe me!!! Thanks for watching!
