Perpetual Calendar Card Keeper - G45 Fashion Forward - Detail Photos & Tutorial Video

Welcome to the Perpetual Calendar Card Keeper detail post with lots of photos and a tutorial video!

My, that turned out to be a long welcome sentence....

Being as this project is pretty simple as all the pages are exactly the same except for the beautiful paper for each page spread, the only purpose to showing you all of the pages in the 'Keeper' is to once again showcase the beautiful G45 paper.

Each photo is pretty self explanatory, and I don't even have to tell what month the page is for!

Here we go.

Below you will see a couple of pages where the tag is pulled out, and where the envelope flap is open ready to receive the cards with accompanying envelopes. These envelopes are 8 3/4"W x 5 3/4 "H, so A7 and A2 cards with their envelopes will fit in them.

If you need more writing space on these tags, just add some cream or white cardstock on the back of the tag to continue your list.

So, here is the video tutorial to go with your instructions.

I hope you got a few laughs at my mistakes when rambling. Most of all I hope that you enjoy making this project.

Happy Album Making!

Christmas Shabby Chic Kit #2 - Detail Photos & Technique Video Tutorial

Welcome!

Today's post is a very long one again. It has all 6 card photos and detail photos!! It's mainly for those that purchased a kit through Scrapbook Parade, but to those that did not order a kit, these photos may be of some inspiration to you, in making your Christmas cards for this year. Plus there is a little technique video tutorial, too.

The 3 Gatefold Cards

When folded closed, these cards measure 3 1/2"W x 6"H

Before going into the card details, I just wanted for those that purchased a kit to know, that when you are using the coconut fibres, you need very little, so be careful how much you use. Of course you don't want to be skimpy either. Just to give you and idea, I took a photo of card #1 after attaching the coconut hair.

That is pretty much all that you need.

Card #1

Card #2

Card #3

The 3 Regular Fold Cards

Card #4

Card #5

Card #6

The Tutorial video below, shows how to miter stripe strips for both card #3 & #6 (the one above). It also has a review on how to make paper flowers if you do not have your own 'roll a flower' die, like me!

Hope the video was helpful. I had to do it all over again, because I accidentally deleted the first video!!!

I am so happy that all of you that purchased this kit were so excited about it. Enjoy putting them together, and watch for the next Kit!

Happy Christmas Card making!

Perpetual Calendar Card Keeper - G45 Fashion Forward

Hello Everyone! Welcome!

Posting another kit for Scrapbook Parade. This is not a card kit, however. But the project is basic and easy to put together. It will make a great Christmas gift too! There are written instructions as well as a "How To" cut and assemble video.

Here are just a couple of photos of the outside of the album. It is very basic leaving it up to you to embellish how you wish.

Here is the 'keeper' fanned open.

I just love the beautiful colours and patterns of this paper. I will post photos of all the pages in the post that has the video tutorial for those that will be making this kit.

If you are interested in purchasing this kit, please let Carol know at Scrapbook Parade. She has shipped some of the kits I have designed from Victoria, BC to PEI, the States, and to France!

This is the Facebook blurb for the project kit.

Fashion Forward Perpetual Calendar Card Keeper designed by Sabrina.

If you created her G45 Fashion Forward card kits this keeper is a great compliment for them.  Load up with cards for the year and be ready for any occasion.

She left the cover blank so you can decorate it yourself and will get cut-a-parts etc to do that.  Everything is included to create this beautiful album that measure 9" wide by 6" tall. She's also created a "how to" YouTube video to help you with the construction.
