- As an off-shoot of my scrap-book idea book I’m building another idea book for junk journalers. This one will include various flips, flaps and folds. The idea isn’t to create a useable journal when I’m done (though you certainly can), rather a resource of pieces that can be made and included in any junk journals. Shout out and huge “thank you” to Gayle Agostinelli (her CZcams channel is her name) for the many wonderful book page ideas. With the exception of this introductory video, my goal is to make each subsequent video 10 minutes or less. Please join me as we build a junk journalers idea book.
Hi Cori !!! I barely ever post a comment, I'm so lazy... But here, I can't help posting this little message. You're such an inspiration for me. I will definitely make exactly the same journal as yours for myself. Thank you so much for sharing all these beautiful ideas...
What a sweet comment. Thank you Marina 💕
Hi, how are you doing?
Just what I had in mind to start a idea book...can't wait to follow along!
Welcome and I hope you enjoy it!
Hello Cori, I have recently started working on my reference journal and I have added so many of your ideas. I see so many ideas that I haven’t thought of before.
The darn things come in handy! I can flip through in moments when I get stuck for an idea. Have fun!
Hi Cori, I am excited to see what comes next, this was such an excellent explanation of how to make these layered pocket inserts. I am a new subscriber and have seen other ideas for putting together an idea book but I must say I really like your style of teaching so will follow along with you. Thanks so much for sharing Hugs and Smiles
Thank you Lori and welcome. Please excuse my tardy response as I attempt to navigate comments. I hope you're enjoying the scrap buster journey!
Hi, how are you doing?
LOVE these! Oh my goodness girl. I am amazed and I watch Gayle. Love the different colors. Sooo cool. Oh you have some great book pages to work with. Thank you for this great idea.
I get some of the best books from the Goodwill Outlet for .50 each. Different colors of old and different fonts make for interesting pages. Thank you 😊
Hi Linda
I just love all your videos! Even going back and watching an older video is still inspiring! Thank you for ALL of your sharing! ❤
You are so welcome! I hope you've gained some ideas that will work for you 😊
There is that gorgeous journal again! Your doily creations take my breath away every time i see them. I love this series! It is a daily inspiration thats easy to follow.
Hello, how are you doing?
Love your flips, flaps and folds Cori! It looks hard but you make it very easy! Tyfs!
Mission accomplished! I’m happy to hear that the project is easy and doable. Thanks for watching!
I’m starting my own idea books per your suggestions. I know this will be invaluable to me as I’m fairly new at journaling. Thank you for these awesome ideas and demos. 💗
Welcome to the wonderful world of Junk Journals and you're very welcome Janet :)
I am so glad I seen Gayle's video where she told us all to go and look at your channel. I an learning heaps from you. I will be having ago at this one in a bit. Thank you Cori. have a lovely evening. xxxx
I love having you on board and there is more proof that we should all listen to Gayle 😊 I’m happy that you’re finding my videos useful and that you’re learning new things
So excited to have found your channel Cori. You have rekindled my love of junk journaling. I am following your series and really enjoying not only your ideas, but your wonderful and natural teaching abilities. Thank you for your clear instructions and your calming ways.
Thank you and what a delight it was to hear that your love of this incredible hobby has been refreshed 💕
You always have the best ideas! Thank you
Thank you! 😊
Great idea for a series, love the shorter video format.
Happy New Year! It makes me smile to see you here and I'm glad you like the shorter videos.
Thank you so much Cori, I really really enjoyed watching you create these amazing pockets and tucks too. They are really really awesome and so very useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thank you Mags. I had a bit of a relapse (too much, too soon I suppose) but am getting better again :)
Great ideas!! Love the new and creative way to use book pages! The cover is fantastic too! Love how you have machine sewn the signatures in!
I tell you, it was so easy to sew them in that way. I’ll definitely do that again. Glad you are enjoying these... maybe don’t show Mr. F what we’re doing with the books... 😊
Hello, how are you doing?
I found you Cori, I'm thrilled. God bless you 💞
Welcome Cheryl! It’s wonderful to have you join us 😊
Wow! we’re all big fans of Gayle! Love this series..... so happy I subscribed to your channel. You do talk a little fast, but I’ll just rewind if need be. Hehe. Can’t wait to watch the rest of this series!
Thank you and happy to see you here 😊
Thank you for the reminder 😁. I’ve also been working on an idea journal. I didn’t think to make it a theme like flips, flaps & folds - great idea. 😁
Thank you Linda! I started by making AN idea book, and that got really chubby, really fast. So, I’m breaking into categories and I love alliteration :)
@@CoriDahmen I really like the idea book you show at the beginning of this video, I need to rewatch that video. 😁
@@LindaMZH65 that scrap-book idea book was a whole lot of fun to make. The page bases aren’t scraps (mostly) but everything else is. Have fun!
I think I'm going to love your videos. I just started my own idea book and I want to add some pockets on the inside cover. These are perfect! Great job explaining the process.
Hello and welcome! I have to say, I refer to my idea books often. I'm certain you'll use your own idea book and you'll have fun with the creation process.
Hello, how are you doing?
How fun are these, Cori? So excited for this series! You rock, my friend! Thanks so much for the mention! I’m so appreciative of our virtual friendship!! On to episode 2! I can see I’m going to be making some pockets!! Thanks for sharing, dear one!! 🥰❤️
The beauty of no measuring and grabbing anything that takes one’s fancy... love that! This idea has been on my heart for a while, and your (not so) little idea basket was my inspiration. So much of what I create was in some way inspired by something I saw you do.... thank YOU for being such a wonderful, gifted person. Happy pocket making :)
Hi Cori. I shall be putting this one in my new idea journal for sure. Thank you so much. Xx
That one is a personal favorite. Have fun and happy creating 💕
Newish here. Putting these in an idea journal for quickly look see... TYFT
First time watching you. I found you through Gayle Agostinelli. I look forward to seeing you create.
Thank you Sandra and welcome! I hope you find some projects that you enjoy 😊
I am SO glad I accidentally found your channel. I've been wanting to start an idea books o these videos are perfect for this newbie! Thanks. 💜
You're so welcome and good to have you here!
Hi, how are you doing
You make everything so easy to follow, thank you. And that cover is gorgeous!!
Thank you, I, glad you like it 😊
Hello, how are you doing
Hello, how are you doing
A great way to use those books of book pages!
Thank you Renee. I must admit, it felt good to pull some of those from the scrap pile.
Super cool idea plus you are making them short and focused on a specific idea. I will be joining you!! Thanks so much.
Thank you and so happy to have you join in!
Very cool! Gonna love this series!
Thank you and welcome!
Awesome! I'm still accumulating old books but I'm excited to make ephemera from books! TFS. 🤗
lol! I do too. A word of suggestion: just get a few books to start with. Over time I have found some types and styles that I enjoy working with much more than others.
Love it!
The name on that paper, “Rusty Pickle”, is great!! 🤣 Thank you so much for all of your videos! They’re so helpful!! ❤️
LOL! I'm not sure how long they've been out of business, but they had some incredible paper and cool, vintagy supplies back in the day.
Brilliant! I love these ideas, and the lace book! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you Doni and welcome! I hope you’re able to use this idea and make it work for you :)
Love that lace book...gonna start looking for allll my lace scraps..ty❤️❤️❤️
Cute pocket! TFS the inspiration!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching.
This was great, and I would love to see more!!!!
Thank you! More ideas are coming 😊
How fabulous. Love these pockets
Thank you. I’m fond of pockets 😊
Sooo kool Cori... can't wait to try these👍🏼🌼♥️
Watching this series after hearing your name on Gayle Agostinelli's chanel. Thanks for the idea book series--it is so easy to forget these clever ideas for junk journals without an easy to access resource.
I’m sorry I missed this! Welcome and I’m glad you’re finding it helpful.
Hi Cori, I love what you do ❤️
I’m starting an idea book, but I’ve been using
Magazine pages to do this one,
It looks pretty, and the magazine was going in the trash anyway!
Thanks for the inspiration
Hugs. Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
Hello, how are you doing
I look forward to watching your series x
Thank you! I hope you find something that encourages, helps or inspires you ❤️
Love this!
Thank you!
This brings so much more to "floating pocket"
Thank you Cheryl 💕
How fun! I can't wait ! I've been thinking about making an idea book also!
Thank you. I love that the options are limitless. You can include specific types, your favorites, items based on need... anything goes!
Just discovered your youtube channel and am DELIGHTED that I did! Looking forward to binging on more !
LOL! Thank you Deb and welcome!
A great idea. Thank you Cori.💖
Thanks for watching!
love all of these GREAT IDEAS! TYFS
You are so welcome!
I'm working my way through this series and finally came back to #1. I just love all these ideas. Thanks for sharing!
I have found another favorite channel, you are great! Wouldn’t mind longer videos.
Thank you so much for saying so. At least for now I’m trying to stick with the shorter format, but I’m thrilled that you’re enjoying the series 💕
So good. I like brief ones to watch😍
Thank you Judy. I try to be brief, but sometimes my mouth takes over 🤦♀️
WHAT A CUTE IDEA TYVM FOR SHARING :)
Many great ideas. And good directions.
Thank you Sally 💕
I love that you’re making a series of this to share with us! I refer to the flip through of your other idea journal frequently.
I'm so happy that book is giving you ideas and honored that you're enjoying this series.
Hi, how are you doing?
Well here's proof there are no original ideas. I thought I came up with a new "herringbone" pocket but here we are. 🤣 At least I can count myself in great company. I love that you used dictionaries too.
LOL! I hear you! Every time I make something "new", I later realize that someone else has already done it. The joy of paper crafting :)
New subby from Gayle A. Love your ideas. Can't wait to see more.
Thank you and welcome!
Thanks, I really enjoyed this and am going to make some 🙏 x
Thank you and have fun! These little guys are quick and addictive .
NEW SUBSCRIBER! LOVE YOUR IDEAS!!! TFS! HUGS
Welcome and thank you.
so cute an love the end result!
Thank you 😊
I like how the number 4 is present in the dictionary pocket. ❤️🙏🏻💯🥳
I have four children (well, more now with the extras that became my kids via friendships with my kids and those that joined the family through marriage) so four is a special number for me.
Hey Cori! Another new subbie from Gayle here~ I love your style and alliteration(s). Tucks, Tags, and (was it?) Trims, then and Flips, Flaps, Folds for Inspiration/Idea Journals. TFS!!
LOL! I absolutely love teaching my students figurative language and alliteration is a favorite.... onomatopoeia too 😊 Flips, flaps and folds. Next up is tabs, tags and tucks. The scrap book idea book was also a play on words. It’s always a fun challenge to think of more 😆 Welcome!
New a private Subscriber coming from Lola of Vintology - I’m very inspired by her projects by you and looking forward to learning your techniques. TYFS 👩❤️👩💜👸🏽
Thank you and welcome 💕
Soooo cute!
Thank you 😊
I found you through a shout-out from Gayle. I love, love, love that journal cover + your clear, calm, organized approach to presenting. I'm not sure why you have a self-imposed time deadline of 10 minutes because the ideas you're showing definitely warrant more time. In sharp contrast to those who take an hour to show very little : ( You must be doing a lot of prep work ahead of time. Consider taking more time; I'd surely stick with you! Thanks for making this a series. I, too love alliteration & cheeky titles!
Welcome and thank you for the well thought out comments. I decided on ten(ish) minutes because I work full time and I know how hard it can be sometimes to find time to create. I love the long videos that Gayle and a few others make, but I don’t always have the luxury of time to watch them all. My hope is that people, no matter their schedules, can find a few minutes to make new or fun items to include in their journals.
These are so neat!
Thank you. I’m glad you like them 😊
Love love
Thank you.
I love seeing this process! Very cool! Will you be doing a video on how to make the book cover? I’d love to see that!
Yes! It’s in the video list now. I’m glad you like it 😊
New to your videos, so far really enjoying.
Thank you Virginia and welcome!
Love it 😍
Thank you 😊
So amazing🙏🏻❤️💯🥳✨
Thank you :)
Hi Cori, I’m a new follower that found you through Gayle A. I’m excited to start watching you. 🥰❤️
Thank you and welcome!
Hi, how are you doing?
Wow! Fabulous ideas, Cori! I'm a new subscriber. Love this series. :D
Welcome and thank you very much 😊
Hi Cori, new follower to you and JJ here! I love your short videos, so inspiring! Do you have a video how you made your lace and fabric journal cover? I'm in LOVE with it. Thanks for sharing all your thoughts and ideas.
Thank you, welcome and yes. Back in the flips, flaps and folds series, near the beginning, there is a tutorial on making the doily/lace cover.
@@CoriDahmen Thank you!!!
Cool!
Wow!!! So easy to do. I love how you're making it a series. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you and welcome! I have more ideas than pages so hopefully will be able to continue this format.
Another new subbie here from Gayle, thanks for sharing, I feel a binge watch coming on xxx💕
Thank you and welcome!
I love this, Cori! Definitely going to give this a try!
Thanks!
Anna
Thank you Anna! After-the-fact, my favorite ones to make are the ones with different colors of book or dictionary page. I know it’s not “really” making a dent in the book-page-supply, but it sure feels like it!
@@CoriDahmen I am loving your little videos. I am going to try a few and make some follow alongs on my channel. I'll link up to your tutorials below, if it's okay with you. Love them!!
@@pinkmonarchprints Of course! I love that you're following along and I firmly believe we learn best from each other. Create away, thank you for your kind words, and I look forward to seeing your adaptations.
OMGosh...this is GREAT! I also found you through Gayle, so the first flips, flaps & folds video I saw was #21...then I came immediately to #1 and will go through the serious and make a good also. I get stuck sometimes, too, need inspiration, and don't really have time to watch videos. OK...so NOW...the journal cover itself is GORGEOUS!!! do you have a video with instructions on that??? LOVE!!!
Lol! Thank you and yes ma’am. There is a video showing how I made the cover. I’m sure there are many more ways, but I show how I did it.
Imlove this idea its fantastic your so fast Im still on slow mode its the hare and the tortoise here for me 😅
I have only a few papers, so Im not sure what I could use but still look fabulous
I do have Tim holtz book but not sure how to begin
🤪🤔☺️🇦🇺🌺❤️
That’s the beauty of this type of project. You don’t need a lot of supplies or options to get started! Choose any paper that looks interesting to you and just make the projects! Each subsequent project just builds from that point. Don’t overthink, just do… and have fun with the process 😊
I’m new to junk journaling and I’m excited to have found your channel! I live interactive features! I watched a later video in the series yesterday and I’m happy to have found the beginning! Your journal is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! Janice
Thank you Janice and welcome. I found your comment when I got notification about another message. I’m sorry for the delayed response, but happy that you’re finding ideas that inspire you 😊
Hi Cori, I am a new subscriber also. I heard about you from Gayle. I look fwd to spending creative time with you. Jean
Thank you. It’s good to have you here and I hope you have fun 😊
Hi,
I,m a new subscribers. Love the series.
Thank you very much and welcome!
Hello Cori, I just subscribed to your channel today and am in love with the type and design of your journal you have on this video. I would love to do a travel journal just like this, sewn in, I mean. Do you have a video that shows us how? I am new to sewing and would really like to know. Thank you!
I’m so sorry for the delayed response Lorri. The video where I show how to make the cover shows the sewn in pages process too. I hope that helps and welcome 😊
👍👍👍
New subscriber here. You had me at 10 minutes or less!!
Lol! It’s a goal, for sure.
Love this series, new subbie , I came here from Gayle Agostenilli's channel!
Could you show us or is there a video on how you made the cover for this beautiful journal you are working in with the doily cover??
Thank you and yes! I’m making one for the giveaway so I’ll gladly share the process... but it will be longer than 10 minutes 😊
@@CoriDahmen Thank you!!!
THANK YOU!! for keeping the videos short!! I love all the other artists too, but just don't have time to watch for an hour or more.
I'm new to your channel so you've probably answered this before, but why do you have a piece of foam on your glue bottle?
Welcome and thank you. Yes, I used Velcro and a replacement inking tool foam to make a landing space for my stainless steel pin. I often forget to put the pin there, put I’m trying! Darn thing always manages to fall when I put it on my desk. My plan/goal is to keep the videos short (10 ish minutes or so) just because I’m in the same boat. So many wonderful makers, but I can’t watch several hour-long videos each day. Some of the projects take more than 10 minutes, but I’m trying to minimize those.
I’m new to your channel and really appreciate how informative a short video can be! I like this format. Can you please tell me what size needle you use in your sewing machine to sew paper? This is all new to me!
Hello Kathy and welcome! The color in my machine right now is purple, so size 100/16. I also use blue (90/14) and yellow (110/18). I'm no sewing expert, but I'm not so sure the needle size matters much. The bigger the needle the bigger the hole. When I sew paper (which is about 95% of the time) I make my stitch longer. So, fewer holes per inch. It gives me a great seam and makes the paper less likely to tear. On my machine (Pfaff) I also adjust the tension so my stitches are (mostly) tight enough without being too tight. I find it easier to sew on paper than fabric.
@@CoriDahmen Thanks so much. This is very helpful. Happy new year!
@@kathyanderson4126 so glad I could help. Have fun sewing on paper!
Hi! Just found your channel and starting from episode one. Do you have a video showing how you made the book itself? Thank you! Loving your channel!
Hi Patty and welcome! Here is a video where I show how I make the cover, though my method is pretty basic and creates raggedy edges. czcams.com/video/xyQV6EYY-M4/video.html
@@CoriDahmen thank you!
very cool. I just wonder if you have a tutorial on your lace cover? I really love that one.
Thank you and yes! I don’t remember the date, but it’s a longer video and I believe the doily journal cover but is in the title.
Awww I'm going to look for that thank you ❤️
Before I start I will say I love all your ides in your tutorials. But I am having a time following you. Could you slow down just a bit? It's probably just me but it would help me out some as I try to make them as I am following you. Thanks a bunch you are great!
Thank you for the feedback Wanda. I do talk quickly, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Many prefer different speeds so I’m continually making adjustments.
Hi thanks for this short video😊 Question - how did you sew your papers inside the journal?
Hello! I think I showed the process in another video (maybe...) but all I did was use the sewing machine and make a long stitch down the center of each signature, attaching it to the doily cover base.
Hello! I have a question. What size of paper are you using in your signatures? I LOVE the size of this journal. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. ❤️ I also love the time lengths of the videos. I love Gayle, but, I don’t always have an hour. Thanks again!
Welcome! This journal uses some oversized paper I had leftover. It is 9 x 14. It was 11 x 14, but I cut 2” off the width. Legal sized paper is very close to that and it’s easy to find. Have fun and happy creating 😊
@@CoriDahmen Thank you!!
What size and type of paper do you use fur the inside of the book please? Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Janet! This book has pages that are 9” x 6 1/2” (roughly). I had some 11” x 17” paper that I coffee dyed and used. Honestly, it’s a bit big and I don’t know that I’d make this size again.
Have you used ordinary copy paper for the pages. Wonderful ideas.
I did use longer copy paper for the pages, but found them to be flimsier than I prefer. If I were to create this size again I would select thicker paper. Thank you!
Would love to do this. What kind of paper do you use to make your basic pages Janet England
Hi Janet. This journal uses coffee dyed copy paper in the 11" x 14" size, though I did cut down the height.
Hi, Cary! I seem to be lost. What is a idea book? How are they used? I'm sure you you can tell I'm new. Thank you for great videos and clear instructions! : D
Hi Angela and welcome! An idea book is simply a reference journal. Often when I’m making a journal I will draw a blank and get stuck for ideas on what to do next. I can just flip through the idea book and be re-inspired with a different idea.
Is there a tutorial for the soft cover? Thanks.
Yes! It's called "Doily and lace fabric journal cover" and it is between episodes 15and 16 in the flips, flaps and folds series.
How did you make the cover
Hello Melony! I have a video that shows the process I used. It’s a few videos after this one.
Okay……so I just found you, totally jazzed about that!! Love love your style. BUT you have completely derailed my project and forced me to backup all the way to this video so I can start from the beginning and start the project instead!!! And I’m not complaining…just sayin 😬😬😬😬
LOL! I hear you and I'm sorry! It's just how I roll :)
