Origami Tag Wallet and More!

I have a tutorial for a fun origami tag wallet and more items using what’s left of my Country Craft Creations design team package using Coco Paradise by Photo Play. This is a fun and easy project. All of the measurements will be in the tutorial. I promise it’s really easy! The origami wallet has several different different things that you can do with it to vary it if you choose. I had scraps so I tried to see how much of it. I could use up and create some fun additions to the album that I had created.

A Round Up of Projects...

 

I know...another round up...LOL!  This is a folio I created using products from a local scrapbook store, Cobblestone Creek, in Damascus, Oregon.  If you are reading this and are local, please go check it out.  It's super cute and she has all the things.  

This is a flip flop folio that I made that I am EXTREMELY happy with.  It is beautiful and full of things that I have been making...they fit perfect into this amazing piece.

Planning never stops...So here is what I'm up to this month.

And, last but certainly not least, my August design team package from Country Craft Creations.  I'm using the exclusive collection called "Bon Voyage" and it is GORGEOUS!

LOTS OF THINGS TO CATCH UP ON :)

 Oh my, have I been a bad blogger.  I have been trying to keep up with things, and I have, once again, a catch up post for today.  I'm sorry.  My hubby had surgery, and I have been taking care of him and working, and trying to keep up on my crafty stuff.  But, today I have a list of things you may have missed.  I hope that you all are also following my on my YouTube, or on Instagram, or even on Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations on Facebook.  If so, then YAY!  If not, please go to the links and check it all out.

I just posted this today, it is an amazing album that I was inspired to make from seeing a maze card.  It is so cool, and features a new paper clip closure for a waterfall.

This is a subscription box reveal from Your Creative Studio, this box is BEE THEMED!!!

I did a lot of patriotic crafting. It all started with designing a prototype for Country Craft Creations for our 4th of July YouTube Hop.  This was so much fun and I made a ton of things.  

Here is a video of the projects I made using the tutorials by the amazing Country Craft Creations Designers.

This is my submission for the Country Craft Creations YouTube Hope.  I made a loaded goodie box full of fun things.

I also did my July #craftygoals2023 video...I was  very busy!

I shared a take on the wave card that has been going around.  I added a gift card holder to it...come check out how I did it.

And this is my latest design team haul from Country Craft Creations.  Photo Play "Hello Lovely"!  IT IS SO PRETTY!!!

Thanks for hanging in there with me and checking out my videos.  I appreciate all of you support!

Stay crafty, my friends!

Bloom Where You’re Planted Folio Project for Country Craft Creations

 This video will be a little different, as it is a "share" and walk through with descriptions of what I did.  I had a great time using the exclusive "Bloom Where You're Planted" papers from Country Craft Creations and the Photo Play Folio 3, which is also available in the store.  I will have a full list with links below.

The folio is a great kit, and can be used "as is", but you know me, I can't leave anything alone, and I altered it a bit to create a folio of my own.  I highly recommend the kit, and will be getting more for myself!

Thanks for watching...I will be back with more tutorials soon!

Products used include:

Bloom Where You're Planted, 8 x 8 paper pack, and the charm pack that goes with the collection 

Artisan Cardstock in Summer Ivory and Baby Blue

Seam Binding in Medium Blue 

Art Glitter Glue

Heart Felt Creations Album Tags and Accents  Die 

Photo Play Folio 3

From my stash I used a brad and two jump rings to attach the charm to the spine

Stay crafty, my friends!

 I have a walk through of my new mini album. 

In the video I show the design team project prototype using Photo Play's "Lucky Charm" (the design team package paper collection), but in the tutorial I will use Tamra's "Ireland Forever", which I talk about in the walk through.  

Tamra, owner of Country Craft Creations, has her OWN PAPER COLLECTIONS NOW! There are three available now, and many more on the way, so check the store often. They are seriously the most beautiful collections, you will love them. This one is if the first one I am using. I am currently also working on a project using her "What's Cookin?" paper collection, and there is also another one called "Country Bunny" that is a must have.

Please check out these papers and more, at Country Craft Creations.

Thank you so much for stopping by. See you soon with the tutorial!!!

Stay Crafty,

Michelle
