Happy crafting!

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.

For more ideas on how to reuse and recycle items for your crafty creations, check out my YouTube channel.

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!

I have started making many more embellishment share videos, project share ideas and would love to know what else you would like to see. I feel like I am starting an awesome collection of easy to do project ideas that could be made in less than an hour or so. I have added to my one page wonders playlist and will be making more tutorials in the coming days. I am still enjoying fall / autumn crafts and will have a few more shares.

New Digitals and Project Share

 

I am really enjoying crafting by using my left over paper scraps and fabrics. I also love to make something new with the pieces I have. I wanted to make something pretty that can be put together and shared with friends. Since I have always loved the 'designer' ways of showcasing fabric samples, I thought I would create my own digitals that would look great in putting something similar together.

I show you a super fun and easy way to make some yourself. Of course you can always use whatever you have on-hand to make this fun project. However, my new digitals are a perfect combination to go with this type of craft!

You can find the digitals I showed and used in the link above, as well as other digitals I have in my shop. I hope you enjoy using them in your projects. Please tag me on IG / Facebook if you do make something using my digitals, I would love to see what you make!

Happy Crafting,

Liz

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!

Secret Journaling Spots - Ideas Journal

 Interactive pockets and secret journaling. 

I wanted to show you how to make a secret journaling space, that is also a nice decoration to your journal pages. So easy to make. I also show you a cute interactive pocket that you can make with leftover scraps. This and many more tutorials on my channel. 

The first project is an interactive pocket. So fun to make and you don't need many supplies to make it. 

I show you how to make this in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel. The next project is also one of my faves. 

In the video I made the version with the doily, but you can always add another element to make it just as fun. Also in case you don't have a doily. :-) 

 Happy Crafting!

One Page Projects

 

Using up my book pages to make new projects is one of my fave things to do. I love repurposing these book pages. 

I show you how to make 3 different styles in my video. You will find this and more ideas on my YouTube channel: Liz The Paper Project.

I enjoyed making these, using up my left over paper bits from other crafty projects.

Happy Crafting!

A New Ephemera Pack Project

 I am so happy with how this pen-pal / snail mail ephemera pack has come out. I made digitals to go with it. I think it makes for such a cute ready to make / send pack. 

I wanted a little French fashion, some textile inspiration and I also made these cute fabric swatch cards to go with it. You can find the digitals I used in my shop. If you happen to make some, please tag me #lizthepaperpaproject so that I can see your creations!!

Happy Crafting!

Ideas Junk Journal #2 Flip Through

 

I have found that having an Ideas Junk Journal / Reference Journal has helped me so much when I am having creative block. Having a couple of these ideas style journals helps to keep the inspiration going. 

I have shared the flip through of my first one before, but here it is just in case you have not seen it. I am now working on starting my 3rd such journal / reference book and I have to decide what size I want to work with next. I might film a tutorial on how I put the actual journal together. I think I will try a different style of journal for the next one. 

I have also filmed a few videos showing the process of most of the ideas in my second journal. I have made so many projects, it is so much easier to remember the process this way. I hope you enjoy this quick share and have time to make your own ideas journal! You will find the links to many of the other projects on my Junk Journal #2 flip through.

Happy Crafting.

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!

Happy Crafting!

Junk Mail Envelope Folio

 

I was just reminded by one of my subscribers that this was a fun and easy project to make, again, using junk mail envelopes. I do love to repurpose and rescue paper whenever possible. I think this is such a fun and easy project to put together quickly. A great idea for when you want to create something, but are not sure what to make. 

This is where we decorate what we just made. I thought I would have both videos in one post to make it easy, just in case you are looking for decorating ideas for the quick project you just made!

Happy Crafting,

Paper Bag Bottom Secret Pocket How-to

 

Many of you had requested to see how I cut the paper bag to make that secret pocket I shared in my Ideas Journal Video. The Ideas journal is one I use for reference, for inspiration when I want to remember a technique I saw or made, or one that I want to remember to use again. If you have not seen that video, I will share it below. I think all Junk Journal makers should have an Ideas Journal! 

I have a couple of these journals that I enjoy updating often, and now I am working on my newest one - this TN style one did not have enough room, lol 

Happy Crafting!

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.

Junk Mail Envelope Ideas

 

Today I am having some fun with some new cutting dies, and an embossing folder. I love using these fun tools in my paper crafting. For my quick project, I recycled a junk mail envelope and made a cute pocket to hold my embossed tag. You will find I have several videos showing you how I like to use junk mail envelopes in my creations, and I have made a few fun projects with them.

Do you enjoy recycling / repurposing items in your crafts as much as I do? I think it makes crafting so much more fun! For more ideas check out my Junk Mail Envelope Projects playlist on my YouTube channel. 

I hope you find some time to get crafty today!
