Prima Heaven Sent Album

Hello everyone! It's Cheryl, and  I've just completed a new baby album using Prima's "Heaven Sent" papers. These papers are gorgeous. I used the A4 pad, plus the 6x6 pad and 4x6 journaling note cards. This paper is in short supply, so if you want it, order it now! Tamra is not sure that Prima will have any left after they finish filling their pre orders. She does have some on the website. I love it so much, I ordered more just to have on hand.


This was the first time I've worked with the 4x6 journaling cards, and they make perfect photo mats.

Don't forget to check out the beautiful flowers that go with the collection. I used many of them in my album.

Below please see a video and some photos...

It has been a long time but Country Craft Creations will be holding a Creative Team design call.  This is just the announcement, more info will follow this weekend.

Father's Day Cards with Authentique Explore

Hi everyone, 

Deb here,  I wanted to share some last minute Father's Day cards I made as my design team project for Country Craft Creations. I hope these bring some inspiration and creativity to you all. We have 5 days to get those cards made, right? 

I made two cards that I think are pretty easy to create and only take maybe start to finish 20 minutes. (maybe shorter)  So for the cards I used Authentique - Explore paper collection. I will provide instruction for each card. 

To begin I used one sheet of the 12x12 cut in half to make these two cards, this will be the base of your card. I might have cute them a little short after I folded them. 

First card -  I used the colored side of the world paper (chose this one because the reverse side is cream/brown. I used the 2 sheets from the 6x6 for the banners and a card from the Pocket Crafting cards for my focal image with "Happy Father's Day" stamped on it. I wrote the date in it because this will be given to my nephew in law as it's his first Father's Day. I used the brown paper from CountryCraftCreations to border my flags and the Pocket card. 



The inside of the card I used a cream cardstock for the sentiment and then a small cut a-part from the Pocket-Crafting cards and adhered it.




Second card - 
So after cutting the 12x12 sheet I wanted to add some color to the background and used the BoBunny Bronze spray mist. Now I have to warn you, when I sprayed it, it looked black and dark splotches and I thought "OH NOOOO"!!! But then it dried and I said, "OHHHH YEAAAA!!!" lol   
once it all dried I took the blue sheet of the 12x12 cut it and distressed it with my scissors and inked it up, placed my brads and adhered it sideways. 
I then took a 3x4 Pocket card sprayed with a little water, crumpled it up to a tiny little ball. Unfolded and blew dry just a little and added my ink around it, distressed the edges a little, and adhered. I added that "Gorgeous" seambinding from Tamra's shop, which added a perfect accent to the card. :D  A little stamp in the corner from the sticker sheet. (love the sticker sheet)  and finished. 


For the inside of the card I used one of the 3x4 Pocket Crafting cards. Stamped Happy Father's Day and adhered. I think using the Pocket cards is a great way to attached your sentiment to the card. Plus no cutting. :D 


Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you stop by and take a looksie at CountryCraftCreations. 

I invite you to join us for some fun on the FB pg Scrapbookers of CountryCraftCreations we will be having a special event in a few weeks and you don't want to miss out on winning some prizes.
