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!

New Embellishment Snail Mail Ideas

 

I have been making more embellishments to add to my happy mail shares. I'm putting together some things to send to friends and have been inspired to make a few more pieces to decorate my little parcels.

I'm loving the way they have come out, the paper bags look so much nicer fully decorated and ready to be filled with more goodies to share.

I was so inspired by my new set of metal dies and a few bits and bobs I had around for this project. Funny enough, I don't have nearly enough ready made embellishments that I could add to my little creations, so I've had to make a few myself. Those of you that often get your hands on some lovely chip board stickers, thickers, wood stickers and puffy stickers are so lucky, I've yet to get my hands on some of those collections. 

I hope you find some inspiration, and if you have any of the dies I show in the video or have other ideas on how to use them, send me an email and let me know. I am always looking for new ways to use items and share those with you to help inspire you as much as I get inspired.

Happy Crafting, xoxo

New Printable Kit and Make Your Own Stickers

 

New printable kit in my shop. I wanted to add some French postcards and letters to my printable collection. This kit also has a coffee stained lined page. I also added a page to be cut-apart so that each postcard can be used on its own if you wanted to.

I show all the pages in the video and also a quick way to fold the letters to make them look more authentic, plus I also share a quick and fun idea on how to make some fast stickers!

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! See how I make it here and follow along with the tutorial!

I hope you enjoy crafting! Please remember to tag me on instagram or facebook, if you happen to make one and wanted to share how yours turned out!

Measurements:

1 x 6" paper

1 x 3" tracing paper (will trim when you add it to the mini)

1 x 3" x 2" paper scrap of your choice

Step 1. Trim your 6" paper to 2 pieces x 3" x 6"

Step 2. Score piece 2 - 5/8" and 5 5/8" Fold at score lines

Step 3. Score piece 2 - 2 1/2" and 5 1/4" Fold at score lines

Follow the steps in the video to put it together! Have Fun!

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.

Junk Journal Folio Tutorial - EASY

 

I had so much fun making this new junk journal Folio design. I wanted to make sure that I used items that could be easy to gather to be able to put something like this together. 

You can use your fave papers, and designs. Plus so much room to add ephemera and embellishments. A quick and easy project! This would be great to make for a grandparent and fill it with photos and art work from your kids. A handmade album or a scrapbook that you can add and take pages away if you wanted. I love how it came out.

For those of you that wanted the measurements:

Large Envelope used for the cover 12" x 9"

Envelopes used for the flip out - use what you have. The larger one I used was 7 1/4" x 5"

Pages used for the journals are optional in size, but I used 8 1/2" x 11" paper folded in half.

Happy Crafting!

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.

Tuxedo Tri-fold Pocket - Ephemera Holder

I had so much fun making these tri-fold pockets. I like that you only need one sheet of paper to make the base then add your embellishments and ephemera as you go.

It holds so many pieces and it is great to send in snail mail and for swaps! You can use any paper you have and all you need to do is cut it to size. 

I have a quick tutorial video showing how I made them. I hope you enjoy making some!.For more ideas and inspiration, check out the playlists on my channel. 😊

Happy crafting,

Liz
