(6) Building a scrap buster idea book. 

Thank you Jen. For your grace, and for your kindness.

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

Thank you Tina :)

Using scraps just makes my recycling heart happy. Have fun building the projects!

I'm happy to hear you're having fun!

Thank you Janean.

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.

Thank you Kay and have fun making them!

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 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?

Thank you Linda and welcome!

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.

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.

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.

Hi. I got them from Amazon. I searched "Basic Grey magnets'". They are the "large magnet discs", 12 to a package.

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.

Just saw the answer. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DUH!!!

Thank you and welcome! I’ll ask forgiveness now for my hacker approach to seeing in my journals 😊

I use the flower (daisy) dies from Simon Says Stamps. I linked them in the description box

I used Velcro to hold a cut down foam pad. I was forever losing my stainless steel pin.

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 got them from Amazon, Basic Grey magnets. I'll try and add a link above.

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

Thank you Victoria. I use Nuvo crystal glaze on those paper bits. I love that stuff!

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.

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.

That was included in a stamping magazine I bought a few years ago. I love the size and slenderness of the flowers it included.

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!

I'm not familiar with that machine, so I don't know! Maybe it would work with thick cutting plates or using shims?

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.
