10 Projects 1 Kit -Cards

Masculine Cards 

Hi Friends, I hope the bank holiday has been kind to you? How are we nearly in June, this year is flying by. Today, I want to share with you my 10 Projects 1 kit, using the amazing Love From Lizi May Kit.

Project 1 was cards, I made the six cards below. This kit was great but took me out of my comfort zone, I dont usually make masculine cards, so this was both a challange and a new adventure.

 

Thankfully, I love it. It was great crafting with this kit and creating some unique and stylish cards.

Card 1 was this unusual whale card. I made this card using two of the patterned papers in the kit, the velum whale and the letter brads to spell amazing. This card would be great for a birthday, Father's day or as a thank you for a man.

Card 2 I made as a Fathers Day card for my Father in Law, he is simply one of the the most amazing men I have ever met. I used some patterned paper, layered some velum and stamped the movie strip stamp on to the luggage tag. I think this has a lovely retro feel and is just perfect for a film loving man.

Card 3 was a tribute to my amazing Husband, he trully is my hero! I used the glasses, filstrip stamp, the beautiful pocket watch sticker and the music velum sheet to showcase all the things that reminded me of him. This will be saved for a thank you to him.

Card 4, is a card for my Father for Father's Day, he is a huge animal lover and has a great sense of humour so will appreciate the elephant wearing the glasses.

I loved the layers on this card and kept the paper simple as I wanted the elephant to be the focal point of the card.

Card 5 is a music medly card.

I used a music themed patterned paper, then created layers using stickers which I added depth to by using double sided foam tape to stick them on. I fnished off the card with some twine and blue gems.

Card 6 is this beautiful turtle. I loved using the blue tones to make a loveky contrast to this card. I love how you can see the paper through the velum and I used the gem to create the bubbles. I find animals so megestic and I loved how simple yet elegant this card turned out.

I hope you enjoyed my cards :)

Happy Crafting!!

10 Projects 1 Kit | Love From Lizi | Part 2 Happy Planner Layouts| May 17

Love From Lizi May 17 Card Kit Unboxing

Planner Layouts

Hi Friends,

What can I say this month has just flown by. I must say the April Love from Lizi kit was my favourite, I loved the adorable egg stamps, the vibrant coloured papers and the creativity it inspired within me. I adore crafting and I founds this kit just inspired me to create lots of lovely crafts.

I am an organised planner geek, so my mind raced and my heart pounded with happiness, when I realised this kit screamed planner layouts!!

So out sprung my happy planner and the creativity began, the stickers included in the kit and the clear add on stickers were perfect for planning!

As were the lovely papers and adorable embellishments.

For my first layout I used the clear stickers, add on Washi tape (I am obsessed with Washi!)


I used the bunting embellishments for my header and went to town with the stickers, I loved the simple, vibrant spring feel to this layout.

Next, I did my Easter layout, using the gorgeous bunny, thatch and multi-coloured papers. I finished it off with more washi and the stunning white peel offs.

Look how adorable that washi is!?

Hope you've had a lovely April and have been doing lots of crafting?

10 Projects 1 Kit

Hi Crafty Friends, 

I am rather excited to introduce a new segment to my Youtube channel and blog, its 10 Projects 1 kit. This months Love From Lizi kit, is the amazing Spring themed April kit. Its full of Easter surprises, spring cuteness and stamping success.

It has cute bunny bobble tails, chick stamps and stunning papers, I am living the crafting dreams. I am getting to create projects with beautiful supplies.

My series will be 3 videos each month using the Love From Lizi kit, to make 4 cards, 3 planner layouts and 3 scrapbook layouts. This makes a total of 10 Projects.

I am so excited as these are crafts that I have a passion for and love that I get to share them. The great thing about this kit is its so versatile so that not only can it be used for making cards, it also works for stunning planner pages, scrapbook story pages, kids crafting and paper projects.

Part one of my projects this month was cards. This months kit is Easter and spring themed and that led me very well to creating 3 Easter themed children's cards and an adults spring card.

For card I used a stunning patterned paper, an individual element and a sentiment. 

I loved how whimsical and cutesy these two particular cards turned out, I loved adding the fluffy tail to the bunny and I adore how sweet that rabbit looks popping out of the basket of eggs.

This kit brought back so many fond memories of Easter egg hunts growing up, the vivid colors and textures in the kit reminded me of decorating eggs and crafting cards as a child.

After making three child friendly Easter cards I chose to do my last card as a spring themed card for an adult.

It was a very simple card but, I loved how the window allows the butterfly to be the main focal point of the card whilst open or closed.

I also loved how the spring sentiment sat nicely on the edge of the window and finished off the card.

There is a video tutorial at the bottom of this page of how to make each of the cards featured in this blog post.

I am so excited to share this will you all, below is a sneak peak of the 10 Project 1 kit, Part 2- Planner Layouts.

Please let me know which card was your favourite?

Happy Crafting!!

March Favourites

'' Its one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold; when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.'' -Charles Dickens

Hi Friends,

Now that the weather is getting warmer (slightly) and most importantly the days are getting longer, it means more time for crafting! The sun is shining and the world around is awakening for Spring.

So I thought I would share my favourite products and crafty makes of March.

By far my favourite craft of March has to be the Love From Lizi March Kit, with papers that have been kissed with the flowers of spring and crafting delights to please the eye, it is a no-brainer. I made 10 glorious cards with this kit.

















Next I had a haul this month, after being so good in January and February, it was time to dust off the cards and purchase some crafty goodies. Below, I have mentioned a few of my favourites.

I love my Happy Planner and was excited to find that they did a home planner insert, safe to say with this was purchased in a heart beat and my spring cleaning has been planned and implemented. It looks gorgeous in my planner and it means everything is in one place, pure perfection for an organisation enthusiast like myself.

Next with Mother's Day being in March and adoring my Mum because of the amazing woman she is, I saw this stamp and just had to have it, this was promptly used to make her card.

Now as I am getting back into card making thanks to the LFL kit, bringing inspiration back into my card crafting, I purchased the Tim Holts Distress Ink and blending tools, which I have loved using!

 There was nothing more satisfying than being able to make a card or scrapbook or  layout look old, without having to waste a precious teabag. All I need now is a distressing tool and I am set. 

 Last and my no means least, my March Beauty And the Beast planner layout, not only is this my favourite layout for March but my favourite in general, Beauty And The Beast was my favourite Disney classic and will always hold a special place in my heart, so you can imagine my excitement  when I stumbles upon this on Etsy (by stumbled upon, I mean I spent ages searching for it.) 


 Hope this has given you some inspiration, what was your favourite product or craft in March?
