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!

From packaging to a fun new project!

I had so much fun repurposing and upcycling packaging and junk mail envelopes, also known as mailers. I really enjoy making something new, out of something that was destined to be thrown out. I hope you find some time to craft a little something today. 

I did use some supplies from some of my fave shops. Check out their items and if you choose to purchase anything, use coupon code: lizthepaperproject for a discount!

I love this project because we add so many pockets, and secret areas to put things in. A great project to keep or to load up with goodies and send to a crafty friend! Also great for the environment, since we get to epicycle so much! Use your scraps to make this an even more environmentally friendly project!

If you want to see more project ideas on repurposing, up-cycling and rescuing paper, check out my YouTube channel for more how-to / tutorials and DIY's. 

I do hope you tag me on Instagram / Facebook if you do make one, I would love to see what you create!

Have a crafty day!

Folio / Journal Cover Using Some Repurposed Materials

I was inspired to make a folio / journal cover with some junk mail envelopes. I have made many projects in the past with junk mail envelopes, and I wanted to try another similar style. I also have a quick unboxing of some new to me supplies from your creative studio. I love their vintage style subscription boxes!

On the cover I used the following items:

My digital papers vintage doily and stained papers: https://lizthepaperproject.company.site/Vintage-Doily-and-Stained-Papers-Digital-Download-Printable-p385529399 Large stickers from Taperlogy: https://www.taperlogy.com/products/chado-flower-sticker-materials?ref=25N03aGnN4T4 Label from the YourCreativeStudio kit.

As many of you have requested, I will be putting a tutorial together for this project very soon.

I do have a few tutorials on my channel, showing you a variety of easy to make projects, including a folio similar to the one I share in this video.

I also have the tutorial for the secret pocket I share in this video. It is one of my faves! I have a short video in my post called paper bag bottom secret pocket how to post here: https://www.lizthepaperproject.com/2021/02/paper-bag-bottom-secret-pocket-how-to.html?m=1

Mini Creative Journal

 I have been working in my mini creative journal. Mostly keeping ideas for different techniques that I can try. It is also a fun way to do some quick creating. No pressure. Tiny pages to fill. 

These are the pages I have created so far. I think this one was one of my faves. It's allowing me to use a couple of supplies I normally don't use together.

I hope you find some time to get creative!

Hello Lovely! New Digital Kit and Tutorial

Hi Friends, I am so happy about my latest collection, Hello Lovely! I wanted to make some ephemera to go with my Hugs XO kit and thought this was perfect. I am always thinking about making mail that I send out extra pretty and adding a little extra love to it in any way I can. I love how this kit has come out and I was inspired to create another one page wonder using some of the ephemera. 

This kit has over 30 pieces of ephemera the you can use in may crafty projects. I've been added some mini tags and some washi tape style strips that can be used as embellishments in your projects. I also love how the one page wonder - mini album has come out, so much to see and explore with it. 

If you make one, make sure to tag me, I would love to see what you make. The tutorial video is here:

Thanks so much for your support with my channel and my shop!

Hugs,

Mini Creatvie Ideas Journal

 

I have started using this tiny binder as a mini creative ideas journal. I am loving the process of being able to create on pages that I can take in and out. Even though I have a few more journals that I am using, for different reasons ( I can't seem to stick to one) I find each one brings me different inspiration. 

This little journal is growing quickly and maybe, just maybe, I will do something to make the cover my own. But I do love the llamas!  This is part 2 of my process, and I may keep filming more. 

I hope you find some inspiration!

Tutorial - Mini Album Journal

 

I really love how this cute little mini came out. I had so much fun putting it together and I hope you enjoy making one yourself.

I did have inspiration to make a mini because I wanted to use the cute valentine themed ephemera from @simplestories that I had and it goes so well with my valentine papers!! 

I also wanted to feature that cute rosette that I made from the latest @cocoandreno kit, these are so fun to put together. 

Happy Crafting!
