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.
Happy Crafting.

Love Katie and The Little Craft Cave xx

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!!
