One Sheet of Paper: quick projects when time is short

Sometimes time is short and you need a quick project to make as gift, or you want to have fun with some crafty friends and you want to create something easy and fast. And every now and then you simply want to make something cheap but beautiful. Well...I have an idea, use only one sheet of paper to create a variety of pretty and fast projects!

One Paper - Three Cards

We all love celebrations, events and birthdays and us crafters always enjoy giving a special card for the event. But can we make cards and save our supplies at the same time? Yes we can...just use one sheet of paper to create three different cards.

By cutting a 12X12 double sided cardstock wisely you can increase your paper "real estate" and diversity. Follow the steps of the tutorial here.

 

Window Photo Display

 

Present photos in a cute and easy display made from one sheet of paper. This display has enough room for two photos and a special window for journaling. Find a step by step tutorial with photos here.

 

 

Flap mini album

 

Create a small but sturdy mini album that can fit in a purse or a bag. A few cuts and folds and a surprising binding are all the secrets you would need to know to create this project.

 

Use a double sided cardstock and a Bind-it-All to create the album's pages and the flaps. Check out the full photo tutorial here.

Recycled pencil case - Crafts for kids

Some of the manufacturers give us a real good return for our money because they invest in the package and not just the product. Kaiser Craft is one of them. Their rub-ons and cutouts come in a great plastic package that is ideal for recycle or reuse. The minute I saw it I knew immediately I'll have to create something of it. It's just too good to just leave it as a package. It was perfect for….a pencil case!   

I used a really good adhesive and added ribbon, papers and cut outs, some buttons and tags. It's an easy project to do with your kids. They can create their own embellished pencil case for school.

Yummy summer – crafts for kids

Another DT sketch layout for Mad About Scrapping. This is a fun and easy layout that would be perfect for kids to create. I only used pieces of patterned paper and some stickers.

Now that the kids are on summer break we often hear the sentence "Mom I'm board", here is an idea…sit together and scrap. You can follow my layout or create something completely new.

Have fun creating!
