Hi Friends!
I am so excited about this. I have been trying to figure out how everyone can take part in my new monthly swaps. I hope that it works out just as lovely as I have imagined it! haha. So here is what I am thinking.
Each month I will have a new swap item idea to share with you. If you want to take part in the swap, all you have to do is let me know in that month's post / video. I wanted a chance for you to get inspired by all the lovely creators / crafters out there and also meet some new friends! I have said it many times, crafters / creators are the most amazing people I have had the chance to connect with and I love being part of this community.
If you have social media use the #lizthepaperprojectswaps so that we can see what you are making. Remember to tag me on instagram / facebook @lizthepaperproject
You can also share your swap pictures if you would like on my facebook page.
So the idea is to use your stash, get your items out and ready to make something fun, quick and that you enjoy. Make it in your own style. If you are a subscriber to my YouTube channel you know the style of crafting I enjoy and since I have you as a subscriber, I am sure you enjoy the same.
Here are the details for the first swap I will be hosting:
Be a subscriber to my YouTube channel and / or Instagram
18 or older to take part
Make the swap items for that month - send me one to show and make sure to have one ready to send to your swap partner. (You only send 1 to me, you will send one to your partner after)
I will match you with a partner(s) in your own country (or the closest one to you, this is to help to keep shipping costs down)
If you are ok to swap internationally, please let me knowwhen you send your swap mail sample.
For this month November, your swap will include:
- 1 Handmade shaker
- 2 Handmade bag toppers
- Plus send 1 de-stash item to your partner: example: stickers sheet, sequins mix, or die cuts; something for your partner to use in their own crafty projects. (something you might have an extra of and would like to share)
- Sign up by email by November 20th. Email me at: Liz.paperproject@gmail.com
For ideas on how to make these, I have a video showing how to make Easy Holiday Shakers and Bag. But you can make these, however you enjoy making them!.
In your mail, please remember to write an email where I can reach you to let you know who your partner is, and where to send your swap to.
I will send everyone that sends me the swap sample mail a free digital for that month, and maybe, if time permits, one of you will also get a swap from me. :-)
This swap shares being mailed to me should be postmarked by Dec 4, 2021 (I had to make this one short because we are already mid month) This will give me time to film it so everyone can see what you made, and partner you up, so you can get something before Christmas!! yay!
The next months swap will be open for the entire month, to give everyone more time to send things in.
Any questions? please send me an email liz.paperproject@gmail.com
Getting into the spirit of it all, I have started making my holiday crafts items. I am hoping to make enough to send in my happy mail packs this year. I really enjoyed making these quick and super easy shakers. No special tools or materials required!!! These are my first one's and I really love how they came out. The best part is, it takes no time at all once you've gathered the simple items you can use.
I hope to be sharing many more easy and quick holiday crafts with you these next few weeks, and that you get inspired to get creative.
For these shakers I used some printable images from Digital Collage Club, (I have some coupon codes if you are interested in purchasing items from their shop, check my coupons tab above) Plus I used some items I had at home and some of these cute little paper bags I made with my cutting die. If you are interested in some of the bags, I will have some available in my shop. They are so cute and can be used for some many fun crafty projects.
I do also love how my bag toppers are coming along. These are also super easy and fun to put together. See the video for more details.
Journal as soon as I came across it! I’ve seen similar ones before made with regular sheets of paper but I love how it turns out with cardstock.paper. Check out my craft with me video here:
I am definitely going to be making many more for gifts for the holidays! So fun! I hope you enjoy the video and find some inspiration.
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 have some catching up to do! After a few weeks away and recovering from surgery, I've got some catching up to do with my blog. I hope you've all been well. 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.

I enjoyed making some quick embellishments and greeting cards with some of my new dies. It's so fun to be able to take some paper, some shapes and designs and make a little something that you can quickly share with family or friends.
I am hoping to have a few fun snail mail packs ready to go very soon. These are some pieces that I think would be great to share.
I really liked making these super cute banner embellishments and the library pocket was just as fun to make and embellish.
For the birthday card, I used the image with 'have a sweet birthday' from digital collage club. They have a set of birthday card designs that are so adorable, and these make a quick and easy greeting card any time. I have the links to @digitalcollageclub in the coupons section tab, where you can also find a discount code to use in the shop. :-)
I did share the projects and my thoughts behind them in the video here. Details and links to the dies I used are also in the videos description.
Hope you enjoyed todays quick share, happy crafting!
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!

Oh wow, I have forgotten to share a few of my latest projects with all of you. If you follow my YouTube channel you will notice that I have some new videos that you may have missed. I am planning on getting some more photos ready to post on my blog and some fun new project ideas as well. I hope you are enjoying what is left of summer!
This video has some great ideas on using up your dies to make some stickers - really easy and fun to do. I also share one of my printables.
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.
