- Part 2, as promised. I hope this helps answer some of the questions posted. If there is something I forgot to address (entirely possible) please list it below. Thank you for watching and happy creating.
Thank you so much for all the tips, for sharing how to make the circle flower, and for showing the adorable little journal with bits of happy mail! You always amaze me!!!
You're very welcome Judy. I get so many ideas from others that I'm happy to share what I've learned.
Cori, you have the best tips ever! Love your videos! Thank you!
Thank you Sue 😊
Brilliant video :)
I LOVED that making a smaller envelope tip.
Thank you for sharing Cori.
Little envelopes are such a fun, quick way to bust those square scraps. In fact, I think I will make some today :)
Cori I just love your ideas and journals you inspire me so much. I had a creative dry spell and you snapped me out of it with your ideas book. I made one and finished it. Love it thank you never let anyone steal your sparkle, that is why we tune in. You keep being you and you do not talk too much you talk enough.
Thank you Connie and congratulations to you! Creative dry spells are no fun, but I think they happen to everyone. I’m pleased you were able to end yours and that you created something that makes you happy 😊
Love the 1/2" Strip idea.
Thank you for sharing tips on how to make for circle using thin paper, how to make leaves using a circle punch and using glue to make a needle point. It’s going to be very helpful for me!♥️
Sometimes it's the little things that make a task easier to accomplish. Glad the tips have helped!
The cutting tracing paper tip is brilliant❣️
Thank you Jessica 😊
Apart from the fact that it is a fantastic idea to turn bits from your recent happy mail into a tiny journal, it just makes me so happy to see you have actually worked with the bits I have sent. The resulting mini book is more than adorable. Love it so much. And thanks for taking the time to explain everything and even shouting out all the happy mail senders! So lovely of you, Cori!
Well, thank YOU for your kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity. Receiving treasures from folks is more deeply appreciated than you can imagine and I smile the entire time I use the different pieces. Those little books are quite addictive. I believe I will make more 😊
Cori, you do absolutely marvellous and fascinating projects and videos! You are true treasure in the journal world! 🥇💎😀💞
Thank you Kevyn 💕
LOVE the flowers! Just love all your ideas, they all have a unique twist. The little cover, the mini book and the shortened envelope, just awesome!
Thank you Nancy. Much as I love TH paper, I’m anxious to work with the Stamperia Forest for something a bit different 😊
@@CoriDahmen Looking forward to that!
Lol I also meant to say I hate the tiny cap on my little bottles lol didn't realise the needle caps fit them 🤦. Great use for all the circles I cut from scraps! So many useful tips! I'm going to need a book for those 😄. My mother's family is Scottish, we didn't migrate much further down over the border. Oh it's pronounced gay-lic 😁😁. Your glue needle has really helped me thread my sewing machine! Tfs 💖
LOL! Glad the tips are coming in handy. I'm learning a lot about the Celtic differences. I guess I just need to head across the pond and experience the wonders myself :)
There is some beautiful countryside to see !
omg! those leaves! 🍃 that’s so cool!
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the tutorials and what a treat, 2 videos in 1 day! Thank you Cori those circle flowers are so cute and effective! TFS!
Thank you, plus, they are really fun to make AND they use up lots of scraps!
I ADORE your little book of gifted happy mail material at the end. Too cute and the use of scraps for the cover was genius and beautiful! But what I might love even more was the teeny tiny little concertino (?) project you showed afterwards. Although miniature in form, it's still functional. LOVE!!
I must admit, little tiny things just make me smile.
You have so many ideas and you share them so freely. You are a true inspiration, thank you so much for being so generous. I was so excited last night I woke up at 2:30am. thinking about the things I have to make!
LOL! My pleasure, and happy creating to you!
Hi Cori, thank you for sharing your thoughts and extremely artistic inspirational videos. Again, I’m sincerely grateful to have found you. The punching of the tracing paper was an incredible take away. I love creating faux vintage tape using the coffee died ( dollar tree store grade ) tracing paper. What a great stamp block!
This little journal is absolutely stunning. I adore little. Daughters as well !! It’s so funny. What a delightful journal Cori.
Thank you Cheryl and it is wonderful to have you along :)
Thank you for showing how to do the flowers, Cori! They are adorable! I’m off to make a million of them! That little book is so amazing…love that!
LOL! One of the great things about making the little flowers is that they use up lots of scraps! Even I toss the holey leftovers 😊 Happy creating!
Hi Cori! 😊 Thank you for the amazing tips and tricks, I learned a lot from this little video. Your little memory journal is really sweet. I am such a sucker for things made tiny... and that lace closure is sensational! ❤🦋❤
The leaf 🍃 trick alone is fantastic!
Thank you Laura. I’m with you on the little love ❤️ The lace closure is my new, current favorite thing.
First off, you didn't talk too much on the last one....was enjoying and didn't notice the length! :). And from the first part....I hate the little dangly cap bit on the fine tip glue bottles too...glad I am not the only one that they drive mental! :D
Second...trivia for you...the motto of Scotland in English (you had it printed in Scots) is "No one provokes me with impugnity", hence the don't meddle with me rough translation you would guess looking at your version. In Gaidhlig, it is "Cha togar m'fhearg gun dioladh" (have that one tattooed down my arm, so come with my own warning label, I guess...lol!). Most used in Latin, though, which is "Nemo me impune lacessit", which has been adopted and used by England and many special forces military units in modern times. Way more than you needed to know about that, but I am a bit passionate about Scottish history and language....sorry! :P
Absolutely no apology necessary. I loved reading that and knowing a bit of the history and meaning. I LOVE your warning label 😊
that is super cool!!
Cori...i love revisiting these old videos.....i just love your style, it reminds me why i love this art!
You are so kind, thank you ❤️
Great idea for leaves! I'm so glad I found you. So many fun and easy techniques. Thank you!
Thank you Gazelle and happy creating!
Oh wow love the little book. Are you going to do a step-by-step tutorial of each page to put that book together , that would be a lot of fun.
Yes ma’am. There is a scrap buster play list that steps out each section of pages.
Man, you have all kinds of great ideas. Thanks for sharing
I could be wrong, but I don’t think the digitals are Tracie Fox. (The ones you can’t remember where they came from.) I would love to know who created them if you figure it out. They are beautiful and looks like they will go with all our stuff.
Thank you Jamie! Someone mentioned they might be a botanical card set from Pink Monarch Prints. I’ll check it out!
I was ready for you to grab leaf dies, but then you went and showed us how to make leaves with the circle punch and my mind was blown. What a fantastic idea and so much easier than trying to find appropriate sized leaf dies for each flower! Have you tried using the Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive? I'm not sure if they changed the formula because it appears to be called Quick Dry Tacky Glue now and the tip is white instead of red. It's my absolute favorite glue when I found it about 15 years ago and I hoarded from Michaels. I was in a long dry creative/crafting spell and believe it not, the glue is still perfect after like 5-10 years (even the one in my previously opened bottle!). I googled and it looks like you can still get the one in the red cap from Ace Office Machines (4 oz and cheap!) or Staples (2 oz but more expensive). I'm pretty sure it's the same glue I purchased, just re-marketed.
I always enjoy trying new glues, so thank you. I will give that a go!
Thanks for all the great tips!
You are so welcome!
Brilliant flowers. Love how you did the petals. Thanks for sharing another great tutorial
My pleasure 😊
You are so dang clever! I’d love to spend a day looking through your creative journals and pick your brain! Your mini journal is so cute and I love the way you have personalized it! Thanks for sharing all of the great tips and creative ideas!
Thank you Phyllis.So happy to hear you enjoyed the video 😊
Those paper flowers are so sweet! I love the simplicity of them!
Thank you. They work great with scrap fabric and lace too 😊
You are so full of useful information! Thank you for sharing it!
It's always my pleasure and I'm happy that it has helped or inspired or encouraged you ❤️
What a beautiful tiny book! Thank you for sharing. Love the idea of using the cutter edge as a straight edge
Thank you and yes, I do that a lot. I get straight, nicely ragged edges that way. It works with longer trimmers as well.
Cori, thank you for all the tips and ideas! The leaf trick is wonderful. So many smart ideas. I love your little journals.
Thank you Jacqueline. There is something deeply satisfying about making those minis 😊
@@CoriDahmen Hi Cori, just a question about the book structure. Will you be showing us how to put the pages into the book? I am have missed that information. If so I am sorry. I am having fun watching all the things.
@@Solo3198- nope. You haven’t missed it. Two days of videoing mishaps and errors have kept me from getting the next video posted. Fingers crossed that it works today. I’m going with “third time’s the charm!”
@@CoriDahmen Great thanks! I'm a need to see the whole type of person and am so excited to get going.
@@Solo3198- I FINALLY got the video completed and loaded. That one did not play nicely. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions 😊
Really helpful video, Cori - Thank you. :)
You're very welcome Bev, and thank you!
Awesomely explained! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and amazingly work! I’m so glad to find your channel 🥰
This is great Cori!
Thank you 😊
Another enjoyable video!!! How adorable is the mini book!!! Many thanks for sharing
Thank you and making those minis is so much fun!
Such brilliant hints and tip you come up with in every video. I'm in love with the little journal you have made with all your happy mail and the round flowers, I will definitely have a go at making them. We pronounce Gaelic in two different ways i.e. "do you speak the gal-ic?" or "I speak gay-lic", this is how we would say it here in Scotland.
See? I so need to experience people saying that first hand. Gay-lic, gah-lic,... I clearly need to visit Scotland and hear it! I love that little book/journal with happy mail bits too. Makes me smile. Thank you so very much for your contributions to it!
I have watched both part 1 and 2 and enjoyed every minute. I really want to start making a journal but right now it seems very overwhelming. But also very fascinating. Maybe I’ll jump in soon.
I've been the same way. I've had a mental block when it came to sewing in signatures. But I saw and idea for an accordion journal made from one sheet of 12 x 12 paper by Natasha at Treasure Books. It's really easy! Helped me get over the idea that sewing signatures is too hard. (I will have to work up to Cori's beautiful ideas 🙂)
I made one of her idea books and it came out awesome. I made a cloth cover easy to sew the signatures in.
Thank you Barbara and I hope you DO jump in soon. I’m starting a mini-a-month series as soon as I return from Texas and those will all/mostly be different ways to make a journal. Maybe one of those will help you feel confident and ready to start!
More fabulous info and fantastic little mini journal. Thanks for sharing this beautiful.
So pleased to hear you like it Tina. Thank you 😊
Wow, love the tips and the mini journal is so gorgeous. But can I tell you how much I love the Micro Scrappy Folio!? 😘🥰
What is it about little thingy things? They are just so much fun to make!
Thank you for the tips and tricks.
Cori love the small book and thank you for all your tips I am always learning something new in your video’s. Hugs. Theresa
So happy to hear that you’re enjoying the videos. Thank you Theresa 😊
I love your little book and thank you for all of the tips that you give us.
Thank you Christina. I’m always happy to share what works for me. May not work well for others, but if I can save someone some time or energy or frustration, it’s worth it 😊
That mini journal is just adorable 😍!
Why is it that little itty bitty things are just so stinking cute? Thank you 😊
I think the botanical images you asked about are from Pink Monarch Prints, their Botanical Collage Journaling Cards. Lovely video btw🌻
You know, you are probably right! I have purchased some of Anna’s tings. Thank you very, very much!!!
very kind of you to give us the Etsy info - just ordered it - thanks!!
That is correct. I looked Pink Monarch up and found them, very pretty…🌸
Absolutely LOVE your mini journal! ❤ Wonderful tips and tricks as usual. Thank you so much!
Thank you 😊
Once again so many inspiring ideas to try! Just love your style and thank you for the helpful tips!
No, thank YOU! Those items you shared are glorious and exciting and fun and humbling. It was so very generous and kind of you. So thank you (insert heart here. On my laptop...)
Fantastic tips.
Thanks...
Thanks for the tips! You are amazing, the little journal is so cute!
Thank you Terese and I am really enjoying making little minis!
Thank you so much!!!! I just love the pearls you share!!!😊
You are most welcome. Ideas and tips are made to be shared!
Thank you so much for sharing all your tips and tricks!
You are most welcome!
Love this! Thank you for the ideas
You’re very welcome and I’m glad you like it 😊
I just love your journals! You do such perfect work!
That’s very kind of you, thank you 😊
I got my Sari silk on Amazon. It met my needs. As for the glue, I don't mind the dangly caps they beat the pants off trying to fine that itty kitty hole with a pin. I do not mind the talk. If I came over to your studio in person I would expect you to talk. This is the same thing, I just can not talk back to you. And a Hello to you from Spokane.
I love that kind insight, thank you! Excellent point about the pin. One of the things I like about the Reptile Glue is that I don’t have to re-cap (pin) nearly as frequently.
Thanks for all of the tops. Great stuff.
Thank you Sandra 😊
I enjoy you taking please don't stop
Thank you Mary 😊
Just found you! Love your creations!
Thank you Jennifer and welcome!
I just love these flowers, plan to make some for my journals. What a creative inspirational video. I love to make journals as well. New subbie here, would love to be crafty TH-cam friends! Tfs
Thank you Judy and welcome! Sharing ideas with like minded creators just makes me smile 😊
Thank you for all the tips!
You’re very welcome 😊
I love this tiny journal, and it makes me wonder …will all those tiny journaling spots be used? I mean, do people really write in these journals? I just made my 13 year old granddaughter a junk journal (my first) based on Stamperia’s Lady Vagabond. I included lots of tags and cards and utilized many of your flips, flaps and folds. I’ll her that she can write whatever she wants, even make up stories, maybe pretend Lady Vagabond herself is the writer. Will be interesting to see what she does with it.
Isn’t that a fabulous paper line?! Love Stamperia. The thing about my hybrid journals is that they give options. Room to write or add photos, if you choose, or just enjoy making fun little bits. Thank you Denise 💕
@@CoriDahmen Ah! I had forgotten about photos!
The little book sends me. How where the pages put in? Thanks for all the clever tips, sooo helpful. 🤩🤸🤸♀️
Thank you and I’ll do a quick video on my (current) favorite technique of sewing in pages.
A great video like always
Thank you Mary 😊
I just found your channel and look forward to viewing all your fantastic videos. You are very creative and offer very interesting ideas. I did want to mention that I had a bit of trouble with the audio with this video as well as Part 1. I am not sure what type of microphone you use but you drifted off quite a few times. Otherwise, quite enjoyable. Thank you
Welcome and thank you for the feedback. It’s just my iPhone microphone and researching different options is on the summer break agenda!
Great tips
Thank you Sharon!
I watched your scrap buster flip thru and want to make one. I see you have a series of videos showing each step. Now I see you are making a cover. Are you starting a new book and again showing step by step or is making the cover the final final step. Thanks.
Thank you and well, good question. I've had video difficulties for two days, getting the signature section sown. Hopefully we'll finish the spine and cover and then work through the pages, but we shall see! Fingers crossed that filming works better today.
I just found your tutorials. I love the ideas you give and show.
I’m really trying to keep up with what you are doing but you seem to jump around a lot and detour from what’s being done🥴.Do you have a tutorial for this small book…….I really like the size and pages?
Lol! I do sometimes squirrel 🐿 😊 If you look in the playlist option at scrap buster idea book there are a series of numbered videos given. Those combine to show the entire process for this 6 1/4” x 6 1/4” book.
Hello Tim Holtz has Mini Brads Love your Journals
Thank you and welcome! He does have great tiny brads and though they are larger than the super-minis I use here, they are an excellent option.
Wow again! Where do you find the time to do all this: create little sweet journals, make videos and prepare everything? I am retired and couldn't do it. Do you sleep? Eat? Etc? Only joking. Love the little book you are keeping for your self.
LOL! I teach from home (so no more commute!) and I get up really early. Housework standards have slipped a bit (or a lot), but I do love to play with paper. Isn’t that book cute? I may have to make more for the shop 😊
❤❤❤❤❤
Did you show a tiny hole punch? What brand is it? Darling journal!
I did. That one is a long arm from Emagination. I’ve had it for many, many years and am not sure if that punch company is still in business.
Hi Cori thank you so much for your inspiring youtube I was just wondering can you heat emboss onto cotton material?
Yes, absolutely! I find that things don't stay well on fabric with a heavy polyester content, but work wonderfully with cotton ❤️
thank you so much for your help I couldn't wait for an answer in the end I just tried it and it turned out great I've not seen anyone do it before
I’m lost! I’m making the idea book and have watched making the cover parts 1&2, but now where do I find how to make the signatures? Or pages?
Hi Linda. I’ll share that video this evening. I get to play with my granddaughter for a bit. Well, after she wakes up from her nap ❤️
Where did you get the wooden tray that you have your distress ink, dauber, glue and etc. holder.
I made that. I have a video that shows how I made them, if you're handy with power tools, and I sell them in my Etsy shop. I've got more ready to list, I just need to add them to my shop.
@@CoriDahmen Cori - do you know when you'll have these in your Etsy store? I'm handy with power tools but don't have space to have that kind of "craft" going as well as my paper crafting and quilting (LOL). I'm searching for that video but can't seem to find it. Your videos inspire me so much. Thank you for them. I look forward to all of them and rewatch them when I need a "jump start"! XO
What size is the little bitty journal? I’m sorry if you said I missed it.
This journal is 6 1/2" x 6 1/2", the small one is 3" x 4" and the eensy teensy one is 1 1/2" 2".
Could you put a link to your Etsy shop? I just can’t seem to find it. Thanks! I just found your channel and love your work.
Thank you Kathryn and welcome. My Etsy shop is: etsy.com/shop/CreatingWithScraps it is empty right now, but I have things to list when I return from Texas at the beginning on July.
Great video- I've never watched your videos once! Always over and over and absolution love your style! Did you ever find a source for the teeny tiny brads? If so, could you share where to buy them? They are super cute. Thanks for the content and taking the time to share your talent!
Thank you Marelyn and unfortunately, not yet. I will sharer a source once I do find those tiny brads!
I purchased Recollections mini brads assorted finishes. They are roughly 1/4” maybe a little smaller.
I found the tiny brads at michaels this weekend! There are 200 in a pack incredibly small and cute as can be! Not a lot of bulk at all. Love them!
Have you covered the binding? I know 12 x 12 pages were referenced. Love the series, was worth waiting for. I think I have watched each episode at least twice, I admit I 2X the speed so maybe I missed it.
My next video will be inserting the “signatures” (I use that term loosely here) and then I’ll show how you can leave the stitches open or cover/close the binding.
Could you please give me the name of the Etsy shop (I’m assuming ) where you purchased the bird images? I love everything you’re making! I’m trying to get organized and brave enough to make a journal. That is my next big goal!
Good for you! The first one is the toughest, just because of the new factor. I’ve purchased bird images from Tracie Fox at Love Junk Journals and from Tina at Shabbydabbydodah. I’m sure the birds came from one of those two spots.
@@CoriDahmen thank you for your quick response. Btw, my birthday is Nov 7th!!
@@jenjenscreations5724 you and my husband are birthday twins. I have a few pieces of the newsprint dated Nov. 7. If you send me your address I’ll happily send you a section. My email is cdscrappin@aol or you can send me a FB message (I just use Cori Dahmen for that) or you can send me an Etsy message 💕
Where can I get the Ink Box?
Hi Lorena. I've had issues with Etsy recently, but if you email me at cdscrappin@aol.com I can work with you to make a box that fits your needs.
I made the book covers and the spine part like you did in part one and I think this is supposed to be book cover part 2 so what happened? LOL I think you were squirreling again LOL.
Me? Squirrel? LOL! It happens! But all the pieces/videos are listed for making this cover. I think :)
Can you coffee dye vellum paper?
Yes, but it doesn’t work nearly as well as tracing paper. Vellum is a tight weave and it doesn’t absorb the color as well as tracing paper (which has a looser weave) and once it is dyed it’s much harder to flatten out. It works, but, in my experience, not as well.
@@CoriDahmen good to know. Thank you, cori
I tried sharpening a punch with tin foil and made it worse. Was I doing it wrong? Can you give a demo? Please? 🙂
Sure. I’ve used that trick for years, and though it often irks, it doesn’t always. But, I will show how I do it on the next video (inserting the pages).
@@CoriDahmen Thank you!😊
