Junk Journal tools: what and why
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- This video shares my thoughts on the must-have tools needed to make junk journals as well as the really-nice-to-have tools. Additionally, I include why I think they’re handy and how they are used. I hope this helps people new to the hobby and maybe offers some additional ideas for people who’ve been working with paper for awhile. Thank you for watching and happy creating.
Putting this video in my craft playlist.
I hope you find it helpful 😊
I love the tip about the laminator.
Excellent. I hope it works well for you!
That’s awesome solution for the “whale tale” punch. Thank you!!!
You're very welcome. I think I first learned about it from Tracie Fox, and it is excellent when I want a smaller "whale-tail".
This is a must see for anyone interesting in paper crafts. You articulate the pluses & minuses of each tool category which really helps a person understand how to match the tool to their needs. Just an excellent discussion in every way. Thank you!
I'm very happy to hear t hat you found it helpful. Of course, I just shared my experiences with each tool, but my goal was to offer insight to hopefully help others in their decision making 😊
Recently I’ve made a couple mini journals that I’ve given as gifts. I’m working on one now, and every time I glue 2 papers together - I think of your laminator tip. So I just ordered one on Amazon and it will be here Wednesday. A story …. A hundred years ago, I wanted to get onto scrapbooking and started one which has sat in a drawer, unfinished . Then a couple months ago when I started making journals, I pulled this old scrapbook project out and all of the glued items had come off, especially those with glue sticks or hot glue. In a few days I’ll have the tool to remedy that problem, along with the fact that I don’t use glue sticks or hot glue anymore. Thanks for sharing a fantastic tip.
I sure hope it works long term Deborah! The coming-apart-drying business is one of many reasons I've long stated that glue sticks are for kindergartners. My fingers are crossed that "adult" glue sticks and some heat and pressure change that path. Best wishes and I hope like heck that it works well for you. PSA, I have had laminators "eat" little pieces. They get caught on the rolling wheel and roll around the base, never coming out and breaking the laminator. I HIGHLY encourage you to heat/press little things and very thin or delicate things between a larger copy paper or parchment paper sandwich. It's also a good idea to keep an eye on the back feeder to make sure your pieces come out correctly. Have fun!
I love the idea of the laminator. Thank you for that tip, it’s so useful almost daily
You're welcome! It is quick and easy, which makes it a win in my book!
So glad these videos are available! Saved this one! 🦋🦋🦋
Thank you!
You are a terrific teacher. One thing I just added to my tool box: a $1 glass scraper for my glass mat…less messy to remove glue streaks than baby wipes. Thank you for great info.
Thank you Susan and very smart! I use my ice scraper and a squirt or two of hand sanitizer.... well, most of the time. Sometimes I go with the quick-and-easy baby wipe, but agree that a scraper is a wonderful tool to have on hand.
I always learn something new from you, Cori. I have only used my laminator to laminate but now I will consider it as a smoothing tool as well.
Happy not-laminating to you 😊 Debra, and happy Thanksgiving 💕
I love my die cutting machine. I've recently started embossing envelopes.. so pretty!
Beautiful journals and such helpful information and hints, thank you!
what a wonderful comprehensive video, thank you Cori !!!
Thank you Faye 💓
Thank you.
Very interesting and helpful.😊
I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you 😊
Cori! Brilliant video! Thank you! That tip about using the laminator to reactivate the glue stick and remove air bubbles is golden!
LOL! I'm glad you like it. Just watch though. The first time you try it, it won't work 😊
So many great tips! Totally forgot that I had the Making Memories kit until I saw you use it. I didn’t realize that the “flower” attachment would give such a nice finish to the eyelet back. Thank you for that!
I use my Cropodile sometimes, but I love the finished ends the Making Memories tool gives us 😊
I came with the intention of inserting a question about how to achieve die cuts into your most recent video, but while I was watching, it just so happened that this wonderful video was next in my TH-cam feed. Thank you! Now I understand how they are made. It's especially nice to know there are larger and smaller options in die cut machines.
People should always use and do what works for them, but I must admit that I think a diecut machine is a worthwhile investment. Quick, easy and not too spendy.
However, it is slightly disconcerting that TH-cam read my mind. ;0)
You give such good information and tips, Cori! Thank you! And I love the term “Jammiecraft”…..haha…I do that almost daily now that I’m retired!
Thank you. I think I like the term “jammiecrafting” because it’s universal and when you hear it you know e a toy what it means 😊
Good for you!
I also “jammieclean” and “jammieyardwork”. Mostly because I walk around my yard with a morning cup of coffee and get inspired to pull a weed then one thing leads to another.............
🤣🤣🤣☕️🐿
This is a great overview and thanks for sharing your tips for using common items in differnt ways. Thanks, Cori for sharing ideas and your talent with us.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this video. You always have something great to share. Faithful member of Team Squirrel
Thankyou Cori.........love the idea with the laminator 👌👏.......X
It's worked well for me, so far. I'm waiting for the one that doesn't cooperate 😊
Thank you very much for sharing your professional tools !!😊
LOL!I'm not so sure I would say "professional", but they sure work for me 😊
Wow I never thought of using my laminator for ironing something out. Thanks for the tip.
My pleasure! I hope it comes in handy 😊
Hello, my name is Adrienne. This my first time watching your tutorial. I liked the idea if cutting the corner for making your tags. Luv that idea. I'm still watching the tutorial. Thanks Adrienne
Cori, thank you so much for your sharing of tools and favorites.
My pleasure Sandy. I hope some of the ideas inspired you 😊
This was very helpful to me. Thank you!
I’ve been creating a long time but you can always learn something new. I’ve had the Tim Holtz ruler for a long time. I never knew it had little holes in it. I was so surprised I had to pause the video and go check it out. Awesome. This was a very helpful video that I really enjoyed. Thank you for sharing. Dies are also my kryptonite. I have fibromyalgia so an electric die cutting machine was a must. I have a Vagabond and recently bought a sidekick which I love.
Thank you for the Vagabond recommendation. My hands don't always cooperate so I may go that route sooner rather than later.
Thank you so very much!!!!! Loved all the tips!!!
Thank you Jama. It is truly my pleasure.
Great tools and tips! Love the badge punch! TFS the inspiration!
Thank you Gail 💕
Very informative and I appreciate seeing what you use... thank you for doing this video!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for another great video. You might know about this, but a lady here on you tube called Ann Melvin Positively Papercraft, in August last year showed how you can laminate only one side of papers, napkins etc, she also showed this being done using Matt Laminating pouches !! Who knew!! It leave the laminated pieces much more pliable than normal laminating, plus she has lots of other ideas of how this them can be incorporated into projects. It’s really quite amazing the other projects she has also discovered using the pouches and some folks might find interesting. Best wishes ❤️🏴❤️
Thank you Kay! I've not heard of her, but I will definitely look up her channel. I so love learning from others! She makes the 3rd Ann/Anna I've learned about today. Pretty sure that is a sign 😊
Thanks for sharing! Love your videos they are the best ones of all the ones I watch! Awesome!❤️
Thank you Kay, I'm happy to hear that you find them helpful.
Thank you, Cory! I never thought of running paper through my laminator! Great idea! 👍❤
I'm happy to hear that you found it helpful!
Thank you for taking the time to do this video!! This world is new to me and I have so much too learn.
Hello and welcome to junk journaling! I'm the first to admit that there is so much to learn and absorb and try in the JJ world. Tracie Fox Creative, Gayle Agostinelli and Artymaze all have excellent beginner videos. If you're interested in making easy pieces to include in a JJ, I would encourage you to look at the scrap buster items. They are quick and doable for any skill level. Happy creating!
Thank you!@@CoriDahmen
Cory thank you for sharing all that great information love die’s also paper crafting I love it huge fan of journal’s great video
Theola 😊
Thank you Theola!
This was so helpful! Thank you!
This was a wonderful reminder video for me. However I had not thought to use my laminator to flatten ephemera. Thanks so much
You're very welcome and I hope that tip works for you!
Thank you for sharing your tips.
Any time!
Ommmmgggg I lovvvve that little journal. I gotta run make one 😍😍😍😍😍
LOL! Happy creating!
Thank You very helpful
OMG, love-hate the fiskars trimmer is so true! Thanks for the tip for thin, flimsy paper AND using a craft knife for thicker items. Thanks for new hole punch, setter. I don't like crocodile either.
I always manage to smash the ends of the eyelet when I use the Cropodile to set them. No matter what size prong or back I choose, smash. I'd use a different trimmer, for sure, if it fit in my available space. I go through blades like they're going out of style!
Super video! I have and use similar if not the same tools and for the same reasons. I enjoyed seeing your processes.
Isn't that the beauty of this hobby? So many of our card making a nd scrapbooking and other craft items work perfectly. Brand and age are only semi-relevant. Thank you Pam, I imagine most of what I shared is old news to you 😊
Awesome video Cori! Thanks for all of the ideas!
You're welcome Nancy. It was really my pleasure!
Just found your channel. Subscribed now. Thank you for the info.
Welcome Ilse! I hope you found the information helpful ❤️
Very informative and good creative ideas. Thank you
I’m happy to hear that you found it helpful 💕
I bought a laminator a while ago on clearance but have only used it twice. I will have to get it out and use it as I have many tags and journal cards I would love to put through it! Thanks so much for sharing your tips and tricks.
My pleasure Nancy. I hope it works well for you 😊
Great video. Thanks for all the tips.
You're so welcome Trina and thank you!
I enjoy all your videos and often wish they were longer, so i am thrilled with the length of this video! You could talk about glue for an hour and i would be rapt 😂, something about your voice is soothing to me. Plus i learned new things, extra thanks!
LOL! I wish I had that effect on my students. I'm fairly certain that my voice puts some of them to sleep. I'm glad you found the tips handy and thank you for the kind comments 😊
Love love your little books you go girl wish I could get my hands on the little labels I watch you all the time so good I am a new junk journal maker I am trying lol
Hello and welcome! I'm sorry for the delay in responding and most of my labels are from Tracie Fox at LoveJunkJournals on Etsy. Tracie is absolutely amazing!
Great video as always Cori. Love your attention to detail. A great Tim Holtz tip is making the die cut on Yupo! The negative cutout makes a great stencil!
I forgot to ask if you would mind telling me the brand of your laminator. The array of laminators to buy is mind bending! I don’t care for the bubbles on glued backs either. 🫣
The one I have is the basic scotch laminator recommended on Amazon. About $30 and works great.
thanks for all the tips... I really like the homemade box that holds your distress ink , glue, and dauber.. that is so useful... My work space is a mess...ugh!! I have many of the tools you talked about and I know which ones are my "go to " ones!! Loving all your videos, love the gel plate ones too!
Thank you. It made me think about how I think about my supplies 😊
Never too old to learn. I always pick up something new from your videos. Thanks! I really enjoyed this one.
Thank you Nancy! I was hoping I would share something that benefitted folks who have done this for a while.
Love videos like this. I feel like we all have our own requirements for tools needed but it’s great to see how everyone uses them differently. Who would have thought to use the laminater like this. Brilliant!
Thank you Jamie. I also enjoy these types o f videos, though I've been paper crafting for a long time. I always get a new idea or take on tool usage.
Love this information!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Cori nice to hear you again
Cheers 🇦🇺🎵💃🏼❤️
Thank you Ammiel 💕
Very helpful, Thank You😊
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Thank you!
You're welcome and I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it.
Cori thank you for doing this video. I appreciated your recommendations for basic tools needed. I am an entry level paper crafter. Please take this as a constructive comment. It would be even more helpful to not see four or five of the same tools for someone who can only start with the basic one. In other words, to ask oneself, if you need a tool, which one would you choose to buy? Which one would satisfy the majority of what is needed for that task? I have hesitated so much to get into this hobby because of the perceived amount of stuff one needs. It is quite overwhelming. Besides the equipment the big craze seems to be digitals which add a further expense. I do appreciate the demonstrations that many creators are putting out that make use of recycled materials for things like covers. Thank goodness for those videos. It is undeniable that having all the gadgets and pretty papers, seem to not only make the crafting easier, but the results more appealing. However, I live outside of the U.S. and ordering supplies has become less of an option due to the import fees as well as the additional shipping costs. This hobby sadly is becoming unsustainable for those who do not live in the U.S. or who do not have a large disposable income to work with. That all said, it does not mean that entry level crafters are shut out. In my case, it serves to challenge me to think about ways to decorate and embellish journals using less of the purchased tools such as die cut machines, die cuts, corner rounds, etc. There must be other ways and I will put much more thought into it. I do appreciate the time you have given into discussing and showing the 'stuff'. I am focusing at this point on the ideas shared by experienced crafters in the composition of the journal and the 'how to' of assembling the inside; including, making pockets, tucks, envelopes, etc. The shortages of supplies and cost of materials outside of using recycled goods is something very real that will continue to challenge hobbyists sooner than most of us think.
Oh, Catherine, please don’t let the plethora of tools and gadgets put you off this amazing craft - there are ways around so many of the processes, like drawing round a small coin and cutting the line, to round corners, and using things you already own for storage and smoothing bubbles out etc! I picked up a plain glass cutting mat from Poundland, which is easily wipeable, just doesn’t have the handy lines - so I measure with a school ruler, or by eye (nothing has to be perfect!). Make a stamp press from a cd case, or a desk tidy from cardboard. Loads of stuff can be found in charity shops (make friends with the staff!). Cori does the most fabulous ideas videos, using inexpensive bits and bobs - please watch some, and you’ll see! On IG, I’m uk_jen if you want some more help, dm me!! Jen💖
Great points Catherine, thank you. I often have people ask about the tools I use and why I use them. Having a list of things you’d like to use or try helps keep your supplies more purposeful and is by no means meant that anyone must have the items I use, rather they are ideas for things that can be used to possibly make creating easier. I was intentional in showing several products that accomplish the same or similar effects. Many of the tools shared are 20+ years old and still work great. Many are still available through pre-owned and second hand sources. Viewers live in different countries and have differing availability of products and brands. Showing several of each type indicates that what you have or have access to will work great. I rarely use tools that are brand specific.
I love seeing your tools, Cori. I made a cardboard version of the Cori Desktop Ink & Glue Caddy. I customized it and I love it. Thank you again for everything you do. 😘
I bet that works perfectly! Great idea Linda. If I could easily figure out how to add a bone folder holder to that ink box...
Thank you, Cori. Great summary and revision of the valuable tools that we have, want or need and what better time of year than now, so maybe an addition or two to Santa’s list. 😘😀💞
Woo Hoo for Santa and his list 😊 Thank you Keryn. I hope you're enjoying gorgeous, warm nd sunny days down south.
We’ve had some spring/summery weather, however, it looks as though this season we might be in for storms, rain and wind. The rain is certainly very welcome after many years of drought. Many places are also likely to have flooding if this continues, but we live in an area that will not suffer badly if this occurs. Others are not so fortunate. Hope your onset of winter has not been too drastic and you are enjoying this time of year. 😀💞
Absolutely appreciate your video! Thank you for the wonderful explanations, I have some new tools to pick up that I didn’t realize would make my crafting easier. Thanks again 🧡💛
You're very welcome. I hope I was clear that each person will have different preferences, but these are what work for me and make this hobby more fun.
Rubber cement square! I'm so excited to pick this up! The thing I never knew I could buy. Thanks for the tip!
It's a super handy little tool. Plus, great price 😊
Thank you! There's always something new to learn! I have never heard about that trick with a laminator! I think I have to buy one now! Do you have a brand you recommend?
As for a bone folder...I can't tell you how much difference an actual Teflon bone folder makes! It's one of those tools you can never do without once you've used one! They are pricey, but worth every penny! They give a tight, crisp fold without cracking the paper, scraping the color layer off of the paper, and without picking up ANY color onto the bone folder!...all while moving like butter over the paper!! I just added two (small & large) WeR Teflon half circle folders for larger folds, like folding your papers in half for journal pages, and I love them!
Also, thanks for the idea to stain staples! You could even put a touch of the ink on the paper to look like the staple rusted in place there!
Thanks again for your tips!👍🌞❤
My pleasure Margaret and I totally agree about a good bone folder. Fortunately, my old, beloved one turned up! Now to find my new dandelion die…
Thank you for the video! Favorite tip was removing bubbles with the laminator!
You're welcome and I hope the tip works for you!
Thank you for such an informative video. I have the majority of those tools but forget to utilize them. Great reminder for me and perfect intro for beginners!
I'm happy I was able to offer a reminder for you 💕
Great explanations for beginners and a reminder of some of the things we have but forget to use!
Isn't it amazing how we can love certain tools, then forget all about using them? I do that all too frequently. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video. Just a warning for the fiscars wire trimmer: Do not use it with thick card stock, I broke the wire, and it is not replaceble! And it is not the cheapest.
Awesome video. Thanks
Thank you Cheryl 😊
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure! I hope it gave you an idea or two 😊
Thanks so much for this video, Cori! I’ve been journal making for less than a year and have slowly been collecting tools. I especially love that hint about using an additional layer of paper to cut thin papers on the Fiskars cutter with the wire…it was my only complaint about that particular tool. Extremely helpful video!
Thank you Lorraine and welcome to the addiction of junk journaling. I think my favorite aspect of it is that the options of why and how they’re used are determined by personal interest and need.
Great tips, love the embossing one, never thought of that, ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm happy to hear that it helped!
Great video. You covered everything! I also like to use a paper distressing tool, like the TH one or the (discontinued) Prima one with a handle. Dies are my #1 favorite, and are also my kryptonite. Dies and anything Tim Holtz. That’s why your videos resonate with me. We also share the same style aesthetic. I love, love the ink stand you made for me. It is truly one of the nicest things in my craft room, and I use it constantly. Thanks Cori! You are a blessing.
Thank you Katie. You know, I have an edge distressed and I wrote it on my list, but I use it so rarely that I forgot to pull it out 🤦♀️ Thank you for the reminder 😊
cori thanks for the fabulous video, so recommend this for every beginner, I have been paper crafting for just a little over two years and still have a few of these tools to add to my list and definitely this was perfect timing so us gals can add to our Christmas wish lists. For most of us it does take time to accumulate all of these tools so it is nice to have this list to refer back to. Thanks a bunch for sharing Hugs and Smiles
Thank you Lori! I hope I made it clear that almost none of the shown items are "required". They are just cool tools that make this hobby more fun. Well, more fun for how I like to create 😊
Such great advice, especially the laminator. Informative as always. Thanks Cori 😊
Thank you Gaye. Happy shopping and adventuring to you 💕
Thank you Cori, great video! I had completely forgotten the envelope punch board!! Also you have given some very good tips...thanks again
You're very welcome and I'm happy to hear that you've found it helpful.
I need to remember to have paper beside me when I watch your videos. You always provide me with new ideas and new ways to get more from whatever I’m using. Thank you the time to put this video together. I’m now going to get my idea’s journal, rewatch the video and jot down all the things I’ve just learned. :)
LOL! Your sweet comment sparked a total squirrel. Next between-the-projects mini will be a YT inspiration notebook/journal. I need a place to store the ideas I get from others as well! Thank you 😊
This was so much fun to watch! I love tools. Went immediately to my craft room to try Tracy’s circle-to-tab idea and it works great! (I do wish Stampin’ Up would un-retire the whale tail tab punch, though). And I have thought of using my laminator for “ironing” coffee dyed papers, but never thought of using it for pressing out bubbles on backed tags and cards. I’m gonna try that because I really dislike bubbles.
I make jewelry so I use many of my jewelry tools for paper craft. For instance, a jewelry saw and a bench pin allow for some amazingly intricate fussy cuts, if you’re patient. And I have a circle die tool which will cut a variety of circle sizes into several layers of paper and even has a feature that allows me to cut the circles into donuts; width of the inside holes can be any diameter.
Thanks for this video, Cori. 😊
You know, I didn't even touch my jewelry tools! 🤦♀️ I do use them though. Especially the fine tipped pliers. Thank you for the reminder!
Amazing!
Thank you 😊
Cori - such great ideas. I've been paper crafting for over 30 years and learned some great tips, tricks and tool "must haves" from you. Love these. Thank you for sharing your ideas and suggestions and your talent. I look forward to all your videos! Have a wonderful crafting day!
Thank you Cindy and happy creating to you!
Looks like a laminator and an envelope scoreboard are what I'm buying myself for Christmas!
They've both been on my list, but I'm totally convinced now!
Great video, Cori!
LOL! I'm feeling a bit like Gayle right now. Here I go, enabling folks right and left. Merry Christmas to you and thank you 😊
Cori another great video!!!🥰
Thank you Joy. I'm having a great time putting the finishing touches on your journal. I hope to mail it tomorrow.
Thank you 😊
You are very welcome!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been crafting for 25 years, but knew I would get some useful info from you. I have many of the tools that you have, but I need a new guillotine cutter, and the narrow plastic piece is key for me and I did not even think about that. Great video!!
It was really my pleasure and I'd so love for the guillotine makers to honor my request and make me a trimmer that is 7" wide and has a narrow "neck". That's not too much to ask for, right?! Happy shopping and happy creating!
Thank you for this great info session. Love your work
Thank you Lauradelle. You have a beautiful name 💕
Thank you! I learned a lot. I'm new at junk journaling. I've been watching different tutorial. I learn something new every time. I loved the little journal books you showed, they are so very cute. Adrienne
Thank you Adrienne and welcome! It sure can be overwhelming at first. With just a bit of play and practice you will find your style. Happy creating!
Love this! Adding some of these things to my Christmas wish list!
You're so very welcome Laurel. I'm happy to help build your wish list. Truth: just seeing your name makes me look around my cave and smile. I deeply appreciate the beautiful treasures you have blessed me with. Happy shopping and happy creating!
We seem to have almost identical essentials list! Lots of great tips too. I'm after a bigger envelope punch board but can't find one anywhere🙈. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖
Great minds and all that! I hope you’re able to find one soon as they certainly come in handy!
Yeah I'll find one I love! Oh yes, great minds 🙊xx
Great video! I’ve never thought to use my laminator that way! I also love your box you made! It drives me crazy to have a messy space and my glue is always falling over!
Amen sister. An untidy workspace makes me flustered. It doesn't bother me when the work area of others is a mess, I just can't do it for me. But truthfully, I got so tired of chasing my ink pad and my ink blending tool 😊
I just found your channel and subscribed after watching a few of the paper folding videos. It was nice to see your favorite supplies. When I started paper crafting I found alot of my quilting supplies worked for paper. I have a weakness for dies too and used a big shot for a few years but switched to the vagabond due to arthritis. I recently started making journals and find the card making supplies work great for that. Over the years I have collected a good amount of supplies that definitely make crafting more fun☺️
Welcome Evie and amen. The right tools… the tools that work for your needs and preferences… make all the difference in the world.
Thank you so much for another great video, Cori - so many useful hints and tips! As always, grand to hear your voice - a lovely start to a Sunday morning! Jen❤️❤️. PS I just typed a similar comment, thought I’d posted it, but seems to have disappeared - so if it turns up somewhere else - please forgive me!!
💜💜💜
New sub, great tips! You can also use the die’s cuts as stencils too.
Hello Debra and welcome! Totally agree. The negative space of a die cut piece makes a wonderful stencil. Super reminder!
If you buy the plastic tips that go on knitting needles, they work really well to put on your ice pick or awl or anything poky. They come six or so in a package and will keep you from poking yourself. They also go on your glue needles. You really need some.
LOL! I have, and use, those things all the time. Great advice!
Thanks for sharing all of these tool and tips, I have been debating on getting the glass matt but wasn't sure. Hope your weekend is going good, take care! 💜
I hate to steer anyone wrong, or encourage folks to spend their hard-earned money, but I do love my glass TH mat. I bought it with a coupon and it was $$ I consider well spent. Happy Thanksgiving week and happy creating!
@@CoriDahmen Wishing you and your family a happy & healthy thanksgiving 💜
Such great info....especially for any new crafters!
Also, you can use knitting needle covers/protectors to put over the tip of your awl and pokey tools. I hate whenever I stab myself! Lol. Thanks for the useful video!
Have a great day!
❤ ~Suzy
I appreciate you Suzy! This: 🤦♀️ me. I have a baggy full of those tips and it never once occurred to me to place one on a pokey tool. There is one there now 😊 Thank you!
@@CoriDahmen
You're very welcome! And I appreciate you, too!! 😍
Great video thanks for sharing. 🌻LouAnn
Thank you LouAnn 💕
Thank you Cori. This is awesome information! I'm going to get my laminator out and use it!! Did you do a video on the journals you have in this video? That small one is so cute! I love it! 💖
Thank you! I think I've shown both of those journals... maybe in the Tim Holtz squirrel videos? Or, maybe right after my Happy Mail and Etsy shop share. I won't swear to the location, but they are out there!
@@CoriDahmen Thank you. I looked at all the videos I can access (it only goes back 1 year) but could not find the tiny tri-fold one. I will keep looking. Thank you!
I guess Band-Aids should be on the list.
🤣 Only because it's me. I do have a first aid kit in here, as well as tip protectors... but did I use either? nope.
This is completely unrelated to this video but I've been wanting to ask. We make so many journal with tons of writing space but rarely is there a pen loop in the journal. I've seen a few videos were they are done with magnets or deconstructed pen ink refill) and paper so that it's flat and placed in a pocket within the journal. I would LOVE to see your take on it. You're so creative and have such a beautiful style to your journals that I know whatever you came up with would be amazing!! Just a self-serving ask 😀
Great point! I’ve made a few gift journals with a place for a pen or a pen loop. Hmmmm. One I had had a closure that had a pen pocket in it. I’ll have to add that to my share-this-idea list. Thank you Marelyn 💕
This is great!! I have purchased some these items even though I don't use them as much as you do. BTW...love the bag with your name in it that looks like yellow school paper. A teacher gift I assume!! How sweet and appropriate!!
Cuiing the credit card for corners!! So clever!
Cutting
Thank you! That little pencil pouch was in the back-to-school dollar spot at Target a few (3? 6? More 😲) years ago and I bought several to make for teacher friends. That one was the trial-and-error bag and I do still love it.
New subie…I just love those little journals. They are so adorable. Do you have a tutorial for them?
Welcome and thank you! I do have a tutorial…. Listed under Tim Holtz 12 x 12 paper.
