Hi Crafty Friends, You may have noticed that there has not been as many videos or blog posts recently, do not fear, there is a reason, The Little Craft Cave has moved, as have I. Moving is very stressful and time consuming, so sadly my creative output has suffered. Thankfuly we are all moved now, I just need to recostruct my Little Craft Cave, which is this weekends job, I am so excited to do this. So I will share here my old craft space... it worked whilst I was there but, I so excited to have more space and a change up.
I still have the same desks, units and equipment, I am just changing the arrangment and organising it better.
I am so excited to get organising and creating.
So stay tuned and I will be sharing the before, after and organisation process.
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.
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?
