Premiering {CP Tutorials}

We've been sort of keeping a secret from you guys, but not intentionally as it's a good sort of secret. It's the kind we hope will have you returning here again and again!! A month or so ago, us CP Girls decided it was time to start updating this place five days a week because everyone *hearts* new stories, new projects, new contests and all the other stuff that makes a blog "the place to be"! We knew the only we could do it though was to enlist the help of our new CP Girls (technically, there not all that new anymore, but you know what we're saying) and sure enough, they all jumped on board with our GRAND plans upon joining the team. Beginning next week (yes, very soon!), CP is going to host a series of exciting weekly tutorials (around THREE or so tutorials a week!!) and the tutorials will be presented directly from none other than the awesome CP Girls! We're going to show you fabulous, fresh new ways to use our Crate Paper goodies in a more hand's-on approach that you'll be destined to want to participate in..all that's required to follow along of course is your favorite Crate Paper products and frequent trips to the CP blog, so add us to your blog feed if you haven't already! As plans would have it, the first tutorial goes LIVE on Monday (see the sneak peek below)! 

 

  

 

How is this for a bit a good news on a Friday? We can't wait to start sharing this feature with our blog readers..it's something we've been thinking a lot about lately and thankfully, we were able to make it happen - now that we've shed light on our little secret, you tell us what you think of tutorials - are you a huge fan of them? What kind of tutorials would you love to see here? What sort of crafting do you most enjoy? We look forward to reading your responses and will pass on your suggestions to our CP Design Team. Thanks ahead of time you guys! Have a great weekend!

I love the tutorials on making homemade embellishments such as flowers. Things that are useful for making scrapbook layouts and cards as that is what I do most. I would also like to see some 2 page layouts on the blog at times. ;) I hope that even though designers can do out of this world stuff that they keep in mind most people that watch the tutorials & are looking for ideas, don't so my advise is to promote things that people look at & say oooh I can do that. I need that paper line so I can create that...

I would like to see tutorials on making flowers and mini books.

I would love to see tutorials from your talented layouts. I'm always looking for new and exciting projects!

Tutorials are great!! I love seeing how to make new embellishments or use ribbons or journaling in a creative, new way. And contests, of course, are my favorite!! :)

[Kelly]

Great idea ladies...please keep us card makers in mind as your products make great cards as well as layouts :)

[Lisa]

I do love tutorials, and would love to see them in areas including homemade embellies, mini albums, and even the thought process some of the CP girlies put into planning their 12x12 layouts. Some of their layouts are so intricate, and I would love to see what goes into that - maybe it is contagious! haha

I enjoy tutorials...I know for me, I'm a visual, hands on sort of girl, so tutorials really work. Love to see some technique and altered project tut's.

I have died and gone to heaven I am so happy. Your paper is delicious and I love using it. I made a book out of the Restoration collection I won and its fab and if you want to see pictures or to know how to make it email me. I want to see cards, scrapbook pages, and books made with your products. I'm so excited, good job. [email protected]

I love seeing tutorials on making handmade flowers, all kinds.

Can't wait to see what the CP girls come up with! I love tutorials on new techniques - blow my mind by using something in a way I've never thought of. I also like up-cycling ideas or re-purposing stuff to incorporate it into scrapbooking pages or home decor.

[Andrea MacDonald]

Ooooo I love tutorials!!!!! I love new techniques and fun little projects are always good!

J'adore venir faire un tour sur votre blog et je suis contente de lire que vous allez faire des tutoriels!!! malheureusement votre blog n'est pas en français et c'est parfois difficile pour moi de comprendre via le traducteur Google:-/
Mais je serai là lundi pour découvrir ce tutoriel!!!!

[Giane Amaral]

Hello I love the blog for you, and I'll like even more because we have the tutorials to learn more. I love the mini album, and would like to see a tutorial deles.kisses from Brazil.

[Jennifer D]

How exciting! I can't wait to see what the CP girls do with all the new great collections! I like to learn new tips and tricks to help me make the most of the product I buy ... like how to recreated a trend with leftover pieces (like the banner trend that is going on right now ) :) Can't wait for Monday now :)

[Sasha "sweet thang" Holloway]

I LOVE making those cute little 3x3 Meander Mini Albums .. so those would be great tutorials to have on your blog.
