Very nice tour of craft space! Would like to see the items you and husband sale on Esty; and I used to purchase purses at the Ohio Circleville Punkin Show; I 70 yrs old and love tooled wooden notebooks and homemade items! Thank you ffg or sharing! Have a great day ! My husband does scroll sawing and work working.😊
Hi Sharon! Thank you so much for your comment! My husband does excellent leather carving. However, now days people aren’t interested in paying for true leather carving. He has a few items on our Etsy shop. I will have Erin send a link to the shop for you. ❤
Wow, that’s a lot of different types of journal dangles - very inventive! I just use beads and charms to make dangles usually (recovered from bits of costume jewellery) but I have been trying to include buttons with shanks on them. A little pedestrian but now you’ve given me lots of ideas - I know I have some air-dry clay in the grandkids craft boxes! Thanks for sharing Michel!
Hi m new . I’m juste started making card . Il love looking at different videos . They re are always something I see new stuff ideas . Yes I would be interest having things to have in my stash thanks for sharing with us 😅
New subscriber. Good for you on having such a handy husband. I am the handyman/woman in the family. Unfortunately,I am not as handy as your husband. I have a similar system and just use cardboard trays I get cans of cat food in. 😁. I have them on shelves. Is it perfect, no, but I like pulling out a tray and having it at my desk. I also have my stamps in binders. I put my metal dies in binders, also. I have some in the Tim Holtz binders. But those can be to pricy. So I just use a cardboard sheet in a page protector and adhere a magnet to the cardboard. It works great, however a word of advice, don’t fill the binders up so much that they are to heavy. Some binders may only have 5 die sets in it. I also keep my used/opened package of stickers and die cuts, in binders. I adhere them on wax paper and use repositionable adhesive. I like all your homemade shelves. It is a great way to fit your needs. Thanks for the inspirational ideas and tour.
Hello and welcome to the channel-we’re glad you’re here! This is Erin. Both Mom and Dad are so resourceful! I love your idea of using the cardboard trays from cat food-I’ll bet that’s a great size! I like using the cardboard boxes that my toner comes in. I cut the top off and reinforce the ends with tape. Makes a great size to divide cube shelves! I agree on limiting the weight in the binders-they can get a bit too unwieldy and heavy to heft around the work space if you’re not careful. They can also get a gator mouth and not line up on the shelf very well!
It was fiddly but really interesting - I’d certainly be willing to try it but with my luck there would be blood! I’ve been die cutting like mad since I got my Big Shot for Christmas and my husband hates the bits of paper that somehow coat the kitchen floor. I’m not sure metal bits would go down well but it’s another thing to die cut with: we don’t drink much soda so I will have to scrounge some! Thanks for sharing this Michel.
Your welcome! Yes no blood needed! I actually did cut myself once pretty badly a few years ago trying to cut a plastic jar! My family won’t let me forget that either! I’m glad you enjoyed it! If you do try it, let us know how it goes. ❤️
Way to fiddly for this one, but they were beautiful. When I hope punch with my pokey tool, I punch into a paperback book. Less likely to cause myself injury.
You just gave me a great idea. I have that stamp. Binder shoved in my closet. Lol, imagine using it for storing my stamps. I love all the storage stuff your hubby made you. ❤
Very Nice Craft Room Tour!! I actually have a binder with my stamps and I've started a new binder with sheet protectors for all my stencils. Really nice to just flip through. New Subscriber Here🎉
Hi! Welcome to the channel! This is Erin. A binder with some sort of pocket insert (page protectors, pencil cases, baseball card or photo album pages) is probably my favorite story solution!
Friendly FYI, that scrapbook binder that your stamps are in is hard to come by. Peeps who still scrapbook will pay nearly $50 for those. If you decide to get rid of it, it is a resell item not a donate item. 😮
I really appreciated the video; I’ve never seen this type of floating pocket. I will give it a try in the morning, it’s too late now and I’ll just muck it up! Very lovely embellishing too!
I love the theme; I’ve never tried to print on vellum. The pocket flips look gorgeous - I love Leonardos face! I think I’m a B , I like sorting and boxing and organising my stash almost as much as making!
Altogether a really nice video - I love the envelopes and pocket page. I’m still die cutting and embossing every chance I get - no real purpose, just enjoying playing about!
I loved this project. Have you tried using a bit of masking or scotch tape to separate the backing from your washi and stubborn stickers? I have no fingernails so that works for me. I like to have similar but different things in my journals. I'll be excited to see the finished product! I'm working on 2 journals that didn't get done in January. However, the big project is to organize my craft room.
I envy people like Louise so much. I love the eclectic look. My profectionism is getting so annoying. About to give up because I just cannot get my brain to relax. Stupid thing. Lol Love, love, love your new journal. Thanks for showing!
Keep going Shawna! Like anything, it takes practice. We all need time to develop our own style. Try challenging yourself by choosing some small projects where you put colors together that you might not normally, or bring in a material that you’re not sure goes and see what you can do to make it work. If it looks awful, oh well! It was fun and it was just practice! But over time, you’re learning and developing those creative muscles!
The gifted journal was really sweet, your friend is so gifted! Your own make is rather a stunner too, especially with that bright floral headband - for a moment I thought you were going to say it was a garter 🤣! My favourite bit of the video was watching you repurpose the packaging and I’m going to be waiting avidly to see you embark on those projects! My husband thinks I’m mad when I look at packaging and see potential!
Erin, your creativity is mind blowing across all four videos but I like this ATC creation best. So many techniques - I nearly shouted when you ‘rorshacked’ (I know that’s not how it’s spelt) the paper but the end result was amazing.
