- Today’s items are scrap cards and scrap
pads. Both are among my favorite items to make and include in journals and the work with any size or style. At the end of the video I answer some viewer questions and share a few samples. Thank you for watching and happy creating.

No one, but no one has ever made artistic and thrifty look so classy and intelligent along with a caring heart. A good weekend for you Cari.
Love you Lenie. Happy Mother's Day weekend to you.
@@CoriDahmen why does spellcheck always assume it’s right! Cori, not Cari!
Back at you my friend, on the mothers’ day theme.;-0
You have such wonderful ideas and I'm betting you are a awesome teacher. It's good to see someone who cares and takes the time to make sure you understand. Thanks
Thank you Jen. For your grace, and for your kindness.
I’ve been a crafter for 50 years and am always amazed that you can still learn more. Thank you for taking me to school again today. At my age maybe I knew these things but forgot. Good to have the brain cells refreshed.
I agree, nobody can make teeny tiny scraps look so beautiful 😍. All we can do is try to soak up your instructions and advice and hope 😄. I couldn't live without those quilting clips! Thank you 💖
I've made several clusters using my bits of thin scraps layered together like you've shown and LOVE how they turned out. Who knew those thin pieces could create such a lovely background!
Fun, fun, fun ideas. Having so much fun making this scrap busters book. Painting the dies and stamp, going to try that now. 🤩🥰😁
Always full of inspiration, information and absolutely fantastic creativation!!!
Cori these are unbelievable. You have the best ideas. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴
Just love your die cuts and the scraps 🥰🥰
You're so original and I love how you utilize scrap paper. ❤ it!
Awesome video, Cori! Never too long! In my opinion, you could just keep going and I’m going to stay watching, even if I need a couple of sessions to do that because life intervenes! 😂😂 Thank you for teaching us more about your projects! 😀💞
Thanks for the links. I don’t know why I don’t buy often from Simon says stamp. I did look for them on Amazon and scrapbook.com. Glad they are a Mother’s Day gift to myself now! Thank you. Have a great Mother’s Day!
Love it all Cori! I'm having so much fun creating all of your goodies!
I'm happy to hear you're having fun!

Very useful tips/ideas. Thank You 😊
Thank you for your inspirations 🥰
Cori, I love your ideas. I am starting to make my idea book and have been so inspired by your creativity and style.
Thank you Anita and I hope you have fun with the process. I really love building idea books as they help me make sure I add variety to my journals.
You just amaze & inspire me! God-given talent! 😚
Thank you Janean.
I really liked this video! I’m definitely going to use these in my journal. Thank you!💕
Thank you Kay and have fun making them!
I love this
Great video, thank you!
I’ll be watching this a couple of times as I continue working on my assignments this weekend. Thank you Cori! 😘
Those pockets could hold a gift card or money or IOU's (I owe you a car wash or 2 hours of babysitting, etc) Love learning all your handy tricks & tips. (who knew coffee dyeing tracing paper made it stronger?!) Scrap pads were the first thing I learned to make. 😃
Love your style!
Thank you!!
Always enjoy your videos, Cori! As I become more comfortable making journals refreshing my memory for embellishments is very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
You inspire me I learn so much from you
Cori, I have looked everywhere I can think of for those hanging paper clips. Where did you find yours? Thanks again for sharing your creative talent and your grand teaching skills, sharing how to use scraps and make goodies for our journals. You are absolutely marvelous!
I’m coming in late. I will start tomorrow to catch,up. I like your creativity, for example, using the markers to stamp the first page of the paper pad. That was cool. Tyfs…xx
Nice that you answer peoples questions
I was responding to every comment, which I love doing, but I'm running out of hours. I do read, and appreciate, them all (or all the ones I get notification of).
Thank you😊. I did not know that you could use the Zig markers for stamping. Thanks!!!!!!
I love your little scrap cards. They are so cute!
These are great - thanks!❤️
These are so creative and beautiful!💗✨ Thank you for these tutorials, I have been trying these and they have turned out great!😊
Love this video and you ideas. I stopped by after Cara Brandon linked you.
Thank you Linda and welcome!
Nice
I agree this series so fantastic, I am learning so much! However, I am having a hard time trying to find eack idea bool so I can start at the beginning. Could you please make a list of your books above so we can follow along easier ? Thank you!!!
I'm so sorry for the delayed response and I am working on an updated playlist this morning. It's long been on my to-do list to get those created.
Great ideas, but not all of us can afford a die cutter and dies. So we don’t have access to those littles flowers. 😞
I most often use my Sizzix sidekick, which was under $20 at Tuesday Morning. Flower punches could work well too, with just a handcut stem.
You could also use dried flowers?
Good to hear "Judi-Kins" since I used to work for them!
I cried when the plastic tip to my last Judi-kins craft knife cracked. That is my favorite exacto knife of all time. Lucky you, to work for such a wonderful company.
More great ideas! Yay! Where can I purchase the magnets that you used? Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and millions of ideas. 💗
Hi. I got them from Amazon. I searched "Basic Grey magnets'". They are the "large magnet discs", 12 to a package.
What can you use instead of lace for the clusters so you don’t have to spend money on buying lace because it’s not cheap even at the thrift store? I Love your videos and we all have glue which is a lot easier than sewing . You could be at the sewing machine for days if you mass make clusters and scrap pads. Again Love your videos!!!😘
I get most of my lace from the Goodwill Outlet, so it's pennies. I often salvage it from pillow cases, clothing and other household items that are edged in lace. Yard sales are another great source for salvaged lace at low prices.
Watercoloring really brings the flowers to life! Your simple technique makes such a difference. I’ve had problems cutting intricate flowers with my Vagabond. What weight paper/card stock do you use? Thank you for all your tips and tricks!
You’re welcome Betty and I use whatever cardstock I have on hand. With intricate dies I always add a shim (usually just a strip of very heavy cardstock) and I pass it through the machine twice.
@@CoriDahmen Thank you. I will give that a try.
What die is it you use to cut your larger flowers ? I like the delicate daisy like flower on your snippet
I use the flower (daisy) dies from Simon Says Stamps. I linked them in the description box
Hi Cori, rewatching the series for the third time, I absolutely love it, thank you for sharing, can I ask what die cutting machine you use or recommend? Many thanks 😊
Hello and thank you! There are several really good die cut machines. Spellbinders and Tim Holtz and Sizzix all make great machines. It really depends on your needs and how you craft. If strength or pain is an issue, one of the electric machines might be a great way to go. I've had the big shot since it first came out, and since it still works for me, that's what I use. I do love my Sidekick and find that I use that most often, simply because it fits so well in my main desk area. But, I use a lot of the smaller dies. Honestly, look at the reviews before you decide on a system and consider your needs, and I don't think you can go wrong.
@@CoriDahmen thank you
What do you have on the side of the art glitter glue to hold the pin?
I used Velcro to hold a cut down foam pad. I was forever losing my stainless steel pin.
Love both of these. Where did you find the magnets? Is there a link?
I got them from Amazon, Basic Grey magnets. I'll try and add a link above.
I have learned SEW much from you!! I have watched your video's over and over. NEVER TOO LONG!!!! I love you!!! BTW what kind of magnets do you use in your JJ's? THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO OF US!! P.S. YES I'm a seamstress.
Just saw the answer. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DUH!!!
Thank you and welcome! I’ll ask forgiveness now for my hacker approach to seeing in my journals 😊
Hi Cori. I’ve just recently discovered your channel and I love everything you do! Can I ask…. what do you use to make your tiny labels/flower centres look so glossy? I love that look. x
Thank you Victoria. I use Nuvo crystal glaze on those paper bits. I love that stuff!
Such great ideas. I especially like the concept of colouring the stamps. I used to do that, back when. Do you have a good Canadian source for craft supplies other than Michael's?
I'm in Washington state, not Canada, so I don't know! I'll ask viewers to share their sources as there are some Canucks here :)
@@CoriDahmen Sorry. I had the idea you were in Canada. I'm just across the border in B.C. Where are you in Washington? Perhaps when COVID is over and the borders open we can have a meet and greet. :-)
@@WendyDewarHughes I would love that Wendy! I’m down in Olympia/Lacey. I’ve been told the way I say “card” is very Canadian, so maybe that’s it 🤷♀️
@@CoriDahmen That's not far at all. Let's make a plan once things open up again.
I just discovered your channel and love your ideas. I wish you would link your videos that you mention each time you show something you've done in the past. You say something like...I've shown how to do this in a previous video but then you don't show how to do it in this video. Since I'm new to your channel, I haven't seen you do these before and don't have hours to go through each video to find that one idea I'm looking for. Sorry, I don't mean to be critical, just wondering if you could link previous videos for us newbies. take care ~~rita
Hi Rita! My deepest apologies, but linking previous videos is above my current skill set. I know others do it, and they put the videos in the top right corner. It's very cool, but I just don't have the time to master that right now. Perhaps in the future!
Can you tell us where to find those magnets? I looked on Amazon, but the thin ones with adhesive all seem to be 1.26" diameter. Thanks!
Look under "Basic Grey magnets". I was having the same issue you had when I looked under thin or disc or strong magnets. I'll try to link the BG ones above.
What is the name of the die cut for the sweet skeleton type daisy you use on the scrap cards?
Oh, it's good to know you like that one! Your journal is on my desk right now. It is a Simon Says Stamp "exclusive" die and I love it! I linked their shop in the description box.
Where did you get the flower stamp you colored and stamped
That was included in a stamping magazine I bought a few years ago. I love the size and slenderness of the flowers it included.
I have a sizzix texture boutique can it cut Too or only embossing
I'm not familiar with that machine, so I don't know! Maybe it would work with thick cutting plates or using shims?
Help, Cori ;-) I wanted to copycat you by using the Distress Ink to color my die cuts.... I accidentally ordered the Distress Oxide... You said you liked the Distress Inks better for this application... I was just wondering why? And if it were you, would you exchange the Distress Oxides for the Distress Inks? Thank you :-)
If you watch tonight’s episode (10) I think/hope I answered. But, I highly recommend searching “Tim Holtz, differences between distress ink and distress oxide” (or words to that effect) for the 4-1-1 on those products.
