August Cherry Box Projects
The Cherry Box is a monthly paper crafting subscription filled with items to make great projects! Inside the box, you’ll find paper crafting supplies hand-picked just for you from our ACOT team. Different designers and brands will be featured, giving you a wide variety of products to try. We also like encouraging our subscribers to play with mixed media, so we also like to include paint, spray, paste, pens, markers, or something else in the mixed media category.
The August box features the Speckled Dots Flipbook, the "Safe Travels" collection, Crackling Campfire Distress spray, Cherry Tape, and more! Watch the video below for an unboxing and see how Rachel and Jess start to use this box in a project.
Here are some of the projects made with this box:
#1. 12"x12" layout
There are great travel-themed images in the "Safe Travels" collection including airplane travel. Jess started by making the background by using a cloud template and a Catherine Pooler blending brush and All That Jazz ink pad (from the June Cherry Box). Next, the photos were framed using the Safe Travels Chipboard Frames. Using these frames is a quick and easy way to pull a layout together. Some embellishment pieces were added and the title was made using a page from the 6"x8" paper pad using die-cut letters. To create the frame around the piece, one piece of 6"x8" paper was cut up and glued on the back.
#2. Horizontal Flipbook
Did you know you can turn your flipbook to the side so it is a horizontal book? Rachel had her photos pre-printed that she wanted to use in this book but realized that they were all in the wrong direction. This was not an issue though because she just flipped the whole book to match the direction of the photos! In this book, she is documenting a family trip to the zoo!
#3. Vertical Flipbook
Jess is documenting camping trips from 2000-2003 using this box. The Safe Travels collection has some camping images on the patterned papers and in the ephemera pack which went perfectly with these photos. You can get a full look into this book and how it was made on our Camping Flipbook blog post.
#4. Traveler's Notebook Spread
I used this collection to make a quick and fun traveler's notebook spread. I love the background papers in this collection and that not everything has to be travel-themed.

Camping Flipbook - August Cherry Box
Today I'm sharing an album I made using the August Cherry Box! The Cherry Box is a monthly paper crafting subscription filled with items to make great projects! This box features the Speckled Dots Flipbook along with the "Safe Travels" collection. I love making these flipbooks because they are a great way to document an event, trip, or time. These photos are from our family camping trips from 2000-2003 and were such fun to look though!
The Safe Travels collection goes perfectly with camping-themed projects and even has some camping images on the patterned papers and in the ephemera pack. I added a charm to the edge of the book so I could tell it apart from the other flipbooks I've made. I used some alphabet beads to write out "Holm Camping" and added some beads, twine, a charm, and ribbon onto a binder clip. I attached the binder clip onto one of the pages before I put the book altogether.
Some of the pages in the 6"x 8" paper pad work perfectly as an intro page. This page said "Let's Go!" which I thought was the perfect start to this book. I added some stickers and ephemera to it to embellish it.
I had a lot of photos I wanted to add to this book, which makes filling it up quick and easy. In the paper pad, there are also journalling card pages that fit perfectly in the 3"x4" slots. I like to break up the pictures a bit with these or patterned paper and ephemera.
Not all of these photos have great lighting and look quite dark, but I still wanted to include them because they have great memories associated with them. To create pages that didn't look dark I added more stickers and ephemera pieces over the photos as well as matting the photos so they had a light frame. I also used photo flips because this is a great way to include all of your photos without having so many of the same event or ones that are very similar. I added an arrow to point at each place where there is a photo flip. This collection had a lot of arrows, which were fun to use.
Because my pages got a little chunky after all of the layerings and adding foam to pop things up, the pages didn't lay as nicely inside the book. To fix this I added Cherry Foam Tape to the edge before adding the pages back into the book and now they lay nicely.
Thanks for checking out my flipbook! I had a blast making it. Be sure to subscribe before July 25th to receive this August Cherry Box! Check out the video below to watch as I start putting this book together as well as an unboxing of this Cherry Box!

July Cherry Box Projects
July Cherry Box Projects
The Cherry Box is a monthly paper crafting subscription that is filled with goodies you'll love. This box features the "Golden Coast" collection which is great for your beachy and warm summer projects. This post is sharing some ways that Rachel and I have used our July Cherry Box. Along with all of the "Golden Coast" products, there is also mica powder, which is a fun medium to play with. We both used it in different ways on our projects.
This is a layout I made knowing that I wanted to use the pocket watch mechanics as the main embellishments on this page. I filled the mechanicals with beads and paired the trinkets with them. I used the mini mister mixed with mica powder to sprinkle shimmer in the corners then layered up with a lot of paper. I used the Vicki Boutin stencil with a little mica powder and texture paste to add dots along these corners as well.
Rachel used a shadowbox as her inspiration for making this dimensional page. This collection is very light so she wanted to add some contrast by pairing it with black cardstock. The mica powder shows up beautifully even on black!
This is another layout I made using this box. You can check out the full process HERE.
