A Crate Paper Tutorial

Posted on by

Hello Friends! It has been a while since I created an actual photo tutorial, huh ;) Well, today I got one to share with you. In fact, I have to direct you over to the Crate Paper Blog for you to see what I’ve tutorialized ;) (I know, the word is totally made up ;) )

Here’s a little tiny sneak ;)

Now, throughout the summer you will see more of this project of mine. It’s a mini album all about Summer 2012 and I am planning on adding pages every once in a while :) I’m for sure super excited about capturing our favorite memories that way :D

The size is 8×6″

Here the first 3 pages…

Above: The Title Page. I want to keep them similar by using a handful of colors and techniques. My colors are: Yellow, Aqua, Pink, Peach and White. The techniques: Title Cut-Outs (with Silhuette), Glitter Splatters, Boarders, Sewing and Washi Tape

Below: In the Tutorial you can see how I created the background for the CA State Cut Out ;)

Below: Here I created a glitter boarder on the bottom of the page. Simply use your brush with watered down glue to ‘paint’ the boarder and then add the glitter and let dry :) Simple as 1 2 3 :D

Hope you’re enjoying the tutorial :D

And now I’d love to hear from you: Are you capturing your summer months as well and how?? :)

xoxo, Rahel

  3. I have used your glitter splatter technique before and LOVE it… and seeing the brushed border at the bottom of your page gave me the neatest idea to try – thank you!!

    In my usual fashion, I’m sure I’ll be scrapping last year’s summer this year, and this year’s next year, and so on and so forth… *wink*

  4. This Summer Moment book looks already great! Sure it will be awesome once it´s finished! You actually inspired me to start one on my own right now! Thanks! :)

    • But I have one question: How do you put all the finished pages together in the end???

      • Hey Cathi :) Thanks for your question! I will punch some holes into the left side and use bookrings to get them all together. That way I can add more pages at any time :D
