Make Vintage Style Quick Projects

Hi Friends, 

I can't believe it's November, where did the year go?? I have been busy creating and in case you have not seen these quick and fun projects, here they are. 

I just love how these projects came out. Inspired by Angie - I give you all the details in the video. I am working on a series of videos to share, I hope you find some inspiration.

Make sure to check the video series, I will be adding a playlist for these videos.

I am working on the next video already, and that should be coming soon!

Happy crafting!

Mini Album / Journal - Using One 12x12 Paper +

I super love how this mini album / journal came out. It is so fun to put together, and you only need one sheet of 12x12 paper to do it. If you wanted to add the centre pockets to it (optional) you will need an extra scrap piece of paper. I show you in the video how to make one, make sure to check my instagram for updates on others that I am finishing up. 

Here are the measurements I used for this project:

12x12 paper - if you have single sided paper / non directional that works best

Score at 5 1/2", 6" and 6 1/2"

Turn once and score at 4" and 8"

For the pocket page:

12 x 5 1/2" paper

Score on the long side at 5 1/5" x 6" and 6 1/2' 

Turn once to the short side, score at 1 1/2"

Have fun crafting my friends. Remember to tag me if you make one, I love to see what you create!

EASY To Make Glue Book - Smash book

LOVED making this so much. I have always loved glue books but this one is just my fave. As always, I love to reuse / repurpose paper and this was the perfect project to do that with. 

What is a Glue book? I define it as a book where I go and get away, my zen spot. In the video I give you more details on what it is, what you can use to make some and I also show you how I'm using the one we make. I have made these before and also have links to those videos in the description box.

I hope you find some inspiration!

Mini Album - One Page Wonder - Fall Theme

Another one page wonder mini album to add to my playlist. I had previously made one similar back in 2019, but decided to make this one a little bit different and in a fall theme. It is a quick project to put together and you can make many bases at once and save them to decorate later! Use up those paper pads and 12x12 sheets of paper.

I was happy to be able to use some of the new supplies I was able to get my hands on, like the #paigeevans Bungalow Lane collection. I love this collection so much. I paired it with some items I already had in my stash.

I hope you find some time to be creative today!

Mini Album / Journal Tutorial - One Page Crafts

I had so much fun making this easy one page wonder mini album. It has several pages that you can add embellishments, pockets and tuck spots to. What I love is that you don't need to sew the pages together or use staples or rings. You will love how quickly this comes together.

Start with a 12" x 12" paper of your choice. I used single sided in the video, but you can certainly use those double sided sheets. Follow the instructions in the video and see how quickly you can make one.

I embellished the pages with my new printable, mini happy mail ephemera kit. I send out so much happy mail, that I thought I would add some ephemera and embellishments I can print out as often as I need it. Here is another example of how I have used my mini flag sentiments in previous projects.

I used the crafty, just a note and happy mail ephemera here. Which I have added to the inside cover page of my mini #album / #scrapbook / #journal.

I also added the #creative flag to this gift bag topper, I am loving making these at the moment!

I added a few of my ephemera pieces to this mini envelope also! Love how it looks!

Another Mini Album - One Page Crafts TUTORIAL

 

I had so much fun making this little mini album / booklet. What I loved the most is that you can use up your paper scraps and it only takes one sheet of 6" paper to put the base together. The possibilities are endless with a project like this. I also really like that it can be mailed out in a regular envelope because it's so tiny! Snail mail, here we come!

This is truly a quick and fun project. I walk you through the process in the video of how I put mine together. I will leave some of the measurements below in case you wanted to see those as well. Check out the playlist on my YouTube channel - One Page Projects - they all take one page to quickly make the base and then you can embellish as you wish!

Mini Album - One Page Project

 

Another quick and easy mini album to share with you. This one is made with one sheet of 12" paper. I love that it has pockets / tuck spots and depending on how you decorate it, you can add so much more to it. 

I have the process video on how to make one and also give you some times on how you can easily add more pages to it if you wanted to. It would be such a wonderful mini album to share with family or a lovely ephemera holder that you can share with friends.

Remember to check out my YouTube playlist for more one page wonder ideas. I enjoy finding ways to use one sheet of paper and make a base for many different projects.

A quick shop update: I have set up a new shop and I hope it is easier to navigate. Click on the shop tab to see what I have in the shop today. Remember to check out my digitals for quick and easy printables that you can add to any project.

One Page Wonder - Use Up Your 12" Papers

 

I love easy paper projects that you can make in little time. I also love to use up my scrapbook papers that I don't often find I would be reaching for. Making something fun and interactive is one of my fave things to do. This one is so easy and fun to put together. Grab your stash of goodies and make many to send to friends!

I shared this tutorial on my channel recently and it's been a video that many have enjoyed. I hope you find some inspiration. Remember to check out my channel playlist for more creative ideas from beginner to more advanced crafters.

Once you learn how to make the base project, you will see how easy it is to add your own embellishments and ephemera.

Hinged Mini Album Tutorial

 

I was so inspired to make this super easy and fun little mini album. It has so many possibilities! I shared the tutorial on my channel. 

In the video I show you how to make one and we start the decorating process. Love it so far!!

I am also working on the next video finishing the embellishments and starting on the one that will be more vintage themed. 

Hope you find some inspiration!

Mother's Day Project Ideas

 

My latest project is so fun for a Mother's Day DIY. You can make a similar album using items you may already have at home. I will leave a link to a video where I show you how you can make something similar.

I had so much fun putting this together. I have a video on my channel showing you some of the items I used.

I'm still working on making something fun with that little teapot box. How adorable is that??

I also love that flower die, and how lovely it looks on my quick handmade card! I love it when something works out so well on a project.

Here is the video where I share this project.

Here is one of the videos where I show you a tutorial making a similar album, I hope you enjoy making one!

Happy Crafting!

Mini Album Embellishments

 

Many of you had asked that I show you how I decorate the mini album. I had so much fun with this project and I was so inspired by it, that I made my own mini ephemera to add to it. You will find the printables I used for this project in my shop, but you can also click below.

I also added a second set that can be used in the mini album or for any of your creative projects. I created some mini polaroids and made them the perfect size to fit in the mini album! Remember to check out my shop for more printables that you can use in your crafty projects. 

As with any project, you can certainly use your own pieces to decorate. I just like to have an option of some that fit nicely in the project, no need to guess what to put inside. Here is part 2 of decorating the mini album.

If you did not see the original video on how we made this mini album, and want to make your own. Here is the tutorial on how to make the base for your mini album using one sheet of 12" paper. 

I hope you have a moment to create something today!

Hugs,

What is a Zine? Mini Book Love!

 

What is a zine? Well here is the description I found: A zine (/ziːn/ ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine.

I had previously shared this quick and easy project using 1 sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper. These are called zines, or mini journals. I enjoy combining left over paper scraps with some quick and easy to use supplies. You can make these with any paper. 

 

I love the size of these Zine's, they are approx. 4 1/4" 2 3/4" closed. Tiny little books. No glue or sewing  needed to make the base of these cute projects. In the video below I show you a few versions of them. 

I love the idea of being able to make copies of your completed work that you can share with friends and family. I think that is what made this project to exciting for me. That you can duplicate a little book and share that. I also took those copies and made them unique in their own way. 

I love being able to use 1 page to create a mini album. I recently started working on a new version, and will be sharing that with you soon. Keep an eye out for those posts!

I often get asked what paper and printer I use for my creations. Here is a link to my fave supplies, including paper and printer.

Mini Album - Use Up Your 12" Papers

 

I really enjoyed making this easy mini album / folio. The base is made using one sheet of 12" paper! You can use a single sided sheet or a double sided one. 

I found using a double sided sheet of paper makes it easier for decorating, and it looks just a lovely! I added some of my new mini digital ephemera, which I made to fit in this mini album. You will find my digital links on my shop tab. 

Measurements: Use a 12" x 12" Sheet of paper. Score one side at 3 1/2", 4", 8" and 8 1/2", turn your paper to the left, and score at 3" and 7 1/2" 

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Leave a comment if you want to see more of these types of crafts!

Spring Themed Album / Folio

 

I had so much fun making this spring themed album / folio. I need a little spring in my life. I am done with winter! In this project I used some gorgeous digital designs from Nitwit Collections. I really enjoy crafts that you can make at home, with items you may already have. 

I love projects where you can tuck photos, ephemera, journaling, special pieces that will be found in later years. I think this would be such a wonderful handmade gift to send to someone special. This project has so much interactive elements!

I also enjoy adding lot's of interactive elements and of course being able to recycle / reuse some items in a project is always my go to. Even if it's the tiniest piece of recycled material. 

I do have a tutorial for making this style of album / folio. We made one over the holidays! I often feel like I need to try out different themes or designs if I really liked the way they came out in the first place. This was the tutorial video for this design. If you want to make this design, see the video below. 

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy spring themed project.
