Snowfall Interactive Folio Kit Release

Authentique Snowfall Interactive Folio Kit Reveal for The Button Farm Club

Hello, Friends! Oh what fun to share this Snowfall interactive Folio Kit Reveal with you! If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you already know how much I enjoy designing and creating folios with flips, flaps, pockets and surprises tucked inside. This Authentique Snowfall folio ticks all those boxes. The cover sparkles like freshly fallen snow. The interior mechanisms are more fun than a toboggan ride down a big winter hill! Let’s take a peek, shall we?

First, lets talk about the basics. Measuring 7″ x 7″ with 1/2″ spines on the left and right hand sides, it’s not too big and not too small.

Then I layered up the gorgeous patterned papers with sparkling Little Birdie Flowers, a glittery snowflake, vintage black buttons, and the cutest little winter charms. The vintage style images in this collection are nostalgic and heart warming. Don’t you just love them?

Next, just for fun, I designed the folio with a wide belly band. This doubles as the cover art. But it also makes me think of a high end slip cased book. You can actually add your first winter photo to the folio cover.

Snowfall Interactive Folio Kit Reveal: The Moving Parts

I’ve prepared a little video tour of the album for you so you can really see all the wonderful moving parts. But I thought I’d also share a few beauty shots. The inside front cover, for instance, is a big slash pocket with 6×6 photo mats tucked inside.

How fun is this mini accordion folio that’s tucked into the calendar pocket on the slash pocket? If one pocket is good…two is better, right?

The folio tutorial is filled to the brim with great techniques that you will be able to transfer to all your papercrafting adventures. And, once you learn how to build the folio base, you can easily create it in any color or style or theme. That’s one of the things I love about providing you with a “made from scratch” kit like this one.

Hello, Friends! Welcome to my Happy World Card Making Day Giveaway and Button Farm Card Club Kit Reveal! As an avid cardmaker, I love this day dedicated to the creative pursuit of the handmade card. What could be a more perfect time to reveal my latest Button Farm Card Club Kit?

I’ve put together a wonderful assortment of greeting card designs for this kit. Here’s a peek at the different styles we’ll be making this quarter.

Sunflowers! My favorite bloom! So we’ll be making these cheery sunflower shaker cards.

Designing these Buckle and Flap cards was so much fun! Wait ’til you see how they function in the reveal video below.

I can see about a dozen different ways to use these “Party in a Box” Pocket Cards. You can customize these by adding your favorite treats and wee gifts to the box pocket. How fun is that?

Good things come in small packages. And these darling Tag Shaped Pocket cards are really good! You get a fussy cutting tutorial when we make these sweet cards.

This Sunburst Thanksgiving Card might just be my favorite of all the designs in this kit. For one thing, it’s just as cute as it can be. For another, the design is a great way to use up all those pretty little scraps of your designer paper.

And you knew I would have to include a card folio, didn’t you? This trifold design has a lovely hidden pocket panel inside as well as lots of room for fall photos.

That’s a total of 15 cards and 8 unique card designs! And once you learn how to make these card bases, you’ll have that knowledge locked up in your crafty toolbox to use over and over again.

Button Farm Club Masquerade Home Decor Kit Reveal

Hello, Friends! This Button Farm Club Masquerade Home Decor Kit Reveal is going to spook you out in a very good way! Halloween is right around the corner, so I thought to myself…why not create a project that doubles as home decor? When Authentique paper released their frightfully fabulous Masquerade collection, I knew just what to do!

So I created a 12×12 altered printer’s tray with a photo folio tucked inside. Oh, yes, I did! This kit is going to be so much fun to make it’s scary!

We’ve got mini pumpkins, people! And spooky little poison bottles! Can we just talk about the orange polka dot ribbon and ghostly grey flowers? Ghoulishly glorious!

But what about photos? No worries! This darling little photo folio tucks right inside one of the compartments in the tray.

It is loaded with room for photos and journaling to help you document all your Halloween capers.

I’m over the moon for these fabulous patterned papers from Authentique! How about you? And can you say “glitter brads?”

Of course, I’ve added my signature flips, flaps and fun inside the photo folio.

Farmhouse Christmas Album Kit Reveal

Carta Bella Farmhouse Christmas Album Kit Reveal for The Button Farm Club

Hello, Friends! September is the perfect month to share this Carta Bella Farmhouse Christmas Album Kit Reveal for The Button Farm Club. If you start now, you’ll have plenty of time to create your album before the holiday season kicks in. Then you can set it out as part of your Christmas decor! How fun is that?

Don’t you just love this red Mixed Media Album? I don’t call it a mini album, because it’s massive! There are 16 double-sided pages tucked inside this 8 1/4″ x 8 3/4″ x 2″ beauty! So you know there is plenty of room for all your Christmas photos, memories, and more!

I love how cozy these Carta Bella Farmhouse images make me feel.

And can you say “rusty jingle bells”? Oh yeah, we’ve got em!

This album is so huge, we actually combined 2 Christmas Collections to create it: Carta Bella Farmhouse Christmas and Echo Park Christmas Delivery. They work together in perfect harmony. Let’s take a peek inside.

December Weekly Format

I’ve never been able to keep up with a December Daily. The holidays are just too busy. But a December weekly feels more manageable to me. So I broke this album down into 4 sections to cover 4 weeks of Advent. Each of the 4 sections follows the same layout and design for easy construction.

There’s room for a great big photo of your tree behind this vellum pull out folio. And room inside the folio for journaling and smaller photos.

Each section also has a double layout page with room for 4″ x 6″ photos and a hidden pocket with pull out journaling cards.

Then add more large and small photos on the tip out page.

And even more large photos in this pull out folio!

You know I love a good waterfall feature. So this album has 4 of them! That’s room for 35 (count ’em!) 4″ x 5″ photos!

Plenty of pockets means plenty of room to save precious letters to Santa, wish lists, or recipes. You can even save your Christmas menu and cookie list here.

YouTube Video Tour

To help you get a feel for just how much goodness is packed into this album, I’ve prepared a little YouTube video tour.
