DIY Embellishments, Beginning crafty tips, and Use your scraps! 

hahaha lol thanks!

+merryscrapper Absolutely! I use them in basically everything! My scrapbook layout, planner layouts, Project Life, and of course in my snail mail creations!

You are so welcome! It is an easy trick but it makes a big difference!

Oh of course! I started doing that too years ago hehe... This video is like 6 years old I think. I made other more complicated embellishment videos if you are looking for something more complicated because was just a beginner's tutorial ;)

Thanks for the information. I isn’t even look at the date of the video. When to make some and course I didn’t have any staples . Dang I am a mess. I’m waiting to get my second Kallax 4x4 and they are never in. Setting up my new craft room. I have a heat-press, sublimation printer, silhouette machine and tons of other things that I have to rearrange.

Absolutely :) Those MAMBI sticker books weren't big when I made this video but that is definitely a good idea :)

Wonderful!

Thank you! SO glad you liked it! This is one of my first videos, I think like 8 or 10 and I have over 400 now but I don't know if I got better haha! Thanks for the sweet comment!

Thanks girl! I have some embellies coming up!

+Paper Sweets Thanks girl! I have a new video of embellishments with these kind and new types coming up!

You are so welcome!

You're welcome and thank YOU!

Thanks girl!

Lol thank you! Yes, she is a corgi with a little mix of terrier or something lol! We were looking for a dog to adopt for over a year and I REALLY wanted a Corgi because that was what I had growing up! We had literally given up because now Corgis are one of the "cool and trendy dogs" and everyone else really likes them too and one day we were driving by a shopping center on the edge of town just 2 miles from our house and there she was! She was lonely and following a homeless man who had a pit mix puppy on a rope and he picked her up and put her in our car! She has been my best friend ever since! I put up and ad on Craigslist, the SPCA site, and called and let the pound know because she was between 7 and 9 when we found her but no one claimed her. She really likes old people so I think what happened is her owner died and the family didn't know what to do (I live in a rural area and sometimes country people don't always view animals as family members lol) so they abandoned her....but I have had her for 4 years and I am so HAPPY to have found her! My fiance picked the name Biscuit because he used to have a dwarf hamster with the same name lol

they have a variety on scrapbook.com and all the smalller suppliers online usually have a pretty good variety! You can even get them at joanns, hobby lobby and maybe even michaels website

+JeanneLou Truitt I use them on basically everything! You can make the banner any length and I make a variety of sizes when I am doing them! I use them on flipbooks, pocket letters, Project Life style, my memory planner, and in my journals! They are also great for your scrapbook layouts!

Joann's is the most expensive place to buy paper craft supplies! Michael's has good sales but the best place to buy punches is at Hobby Lobby because they have their own brand that is super high quality and they have half price sales just about every other week!

The bow punch is by American Crafts and it is from their "Knock Outs" punch collection! All the punches in that collection are pink and the bow comes in the 3 sizes! I have the small one that I got at Tuesday Morning (I also saw it in Hobby Lobby and many online stores) and a good friend got me the medium size!

thank you. Doubt I will be able to get in Australia :(

try scrapbook.com they had them last time I checked!

I saw a similar bow shap punch at Lincraft, but probably not quite as small as 1/3 inch

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed the video! Sorry the video is a year old and the giveaway closed a long time ago :(

Thank you for the reply, the video was very helpful to me as I'm just getting started in journaling. Thank you for sharing.

You are very Welcome! Glad it helped you!

HI there! This is an old video so I am going to reply about what I THINK I said lol :) Anyway, the way you store the little handmade embellishments and cut out ephemera or pictures should depend on how you yourself craft and will use them! If you are the kind of person that will pull out a paper pad and use the coordinating papers and cut outs from it then I would store the embellishments you make with each paper pad or "collection" (a collection is just basically coordinating papers and embellishments with the same patterns, colors, themes, etc.)! However, if you like to mix and match papers and embellishments from different pads then I would store you embellishments by ":type" meaning put all the layered 3d banner embellishments together, then all the images you have cut out of scrapbook paper to make your own ephemera together, the stuff you cut out of magazines and books together, and so on!! Some people also like to store their embellishments by color, they mix all the "types" of embellishments together but have a separate container for each color! For example putting all your pink embellishments in one, gold embellishments in another, green in one and then have one for "multi color" or rainbow embellishments! For storage the container I am showing i this video is an "iris" container and they go on sale at crafts store ALL the time so they are under $2 each or you can buy this square container for about $8 that has 8 of the containers already inside! Then you just take your containers and separate or organize them how you think you will use them the best! in the meantime (or instead of), I use some little tiny "bucket" shaped plastic containers that you can get at any type of dollar store and then you have all your embellishments in open top containers ready top go! I hope this information helped! I haven't made craft videos in a long while so I may not be the best at explaining! Thanks girly!

thank you so much for your quick response and detailed explanation. Have a blessed day

It is when you cut out an image/picture from scrapbook paper or magazine etc. and traditionally you cut it out with a border of white or the surrounding color!

Thank you!

Cutting out with scissors.....not using a machine or die cut cutter

Well if you had read the title it says, DIY EMBELLISHMENTS (which I share in the video and discuss how they are made- you just started typing without finishing the video) And the rest of the title says BEGINNING CRAFTY TIPS, AND USE YOUR SCRAPS which is where the DIY Embellishments come in. All of the subjects on the title were addressed, but not all in the first 5 minutes of the video. Thanks for the comment though!

thank you!
