Happy Mothers Day to you💐❤️🌴

[@CoriDahmen]

And to you, Tabatha. Thank you ❤

[@elaineatthecraftshed1993]

Another video I managed to miss when it came out. This video reinforces why I love your work so much, not only does your teaching style and eye for detail suit me so well, but we must definitely share a lot of aesthetic preferences as I love those Atelier and Library papers. When you said you like the bold but muted colours of the Atelier range I was thinking yes, yes, yes! Great ideas to pick and mix as always. Thank you Cori x

[@CoriDahmen]

Wow, thank you! Sorry I missed this comment first time around, but thank you for the kindness ❤️

[@cheryl7476]

Thank you thank you, Cori. I’ve got a squirrel brain too, so I’m frequently calling out,” squirrel,” with my family. They certainly understand.

[@CoriDahmen]

Long live #TeamSquirrel ❤🐿️

[@annieweisbeck5922]

Every one of these is great and I will be trying them! Thanks for being a book advocate -- I'm a retired Elementary Teacher Librarian. Books are the best ♥ Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Annie, for making such a positive difference in the lives of the children you interacted with ❤

You’re very welcome… and not to underplay YOUR awesome treasures!

[@paulad2527]

Cori….😮🤩🤯 Your brain is amazing! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@CoriDahmen]

LOL Paula. I love you for saying that. It "might" have been called something else a time or two 😊

[@franedwards5393]

I do love all you do…today is a first….the first time you have managed to confuse the heck out of me…😂🎉 but that’s ok.. I worked it out..xx

[@CoriDahmen]

Uh oh. I confused me too. I’m glad you got it worked out 😊

[@beverlysewell5725]

Love your ideas and I love your squirrel brain - I relate very well!

[@CoriDahmen]

LOL> #TeamSquirrel❤️

[@scrappycavie5151]

Cori...I love these ideas and thank you so much for pointing out that we don't need to clip stickers that hang over --just use powder. I always leave your channel so inspired and having learned a new trick!

[@CoriDahmen]

Awww, thank you. I do so love to pass along the tidbits I've learned along the way, hoping they'll benefit someone else 😊

[@WendyThompson]

Such a great video just filled to the rafters with fab ideas! Thanks, Cori ❤

[@helenbritcher9353]

Welcome from Pennsylvania, USA Thank you for Mother Day wish.

[@CoriDahmen]

Hello Helen and you are most welcome. I hope your day was truly wonderful ❤️

[@XenobiaF]

The pleat you’ve described that is folded one way and then the other is a box pleat. I love the way you’ve used it here.

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you! I knew there was a name, but my seamstress skills are sadly lacking. I appreciate the information!

[@LindaMZH65]

Thanks Cori, more great ideas and I love this paper. I’ll have to check out both collections the next time I’m in my local scrapbook store. 😘

[@CoriDahmen]

You won’t be sorry Linda. They are gorgeous! And, thank you 😊

[@annettedepete4314]

Awesome ideas. Thanks for sharing and I hope you had a great Mothers Day.💕🌴

[@CoriDahmen]

I did, thank you. I hope yours was wonderful too.

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

Really enjoy how you explain the process while also giving little tips along the way. It really makes a huge difference when people create something they’ve seen on a video. It may sound like you’re talking too much, but every time you give one of those little tips, it helps eliminate mistakes and will most likely lead to success. That’s why I view your videos as tutorials. Thanks! 🤗❤️❤❤️

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you for that! I tried doing a create-with-me video as I played. Epic fail. Had no clue what to say! 😂

[@nancypyter1511]

I love these ephemera ideas Cori and I love that paper line!🥰

[@CoriDahmen]

Isn’t that paper just fantabulous?! Thank you, Nancy ❤

Hi! Revisiting your videos. Making a Christmas Journal for a charity. Thank you so much for all your help!

[@CoriDahmen]

You are so welcome and thank you for blessing others ❤️

[@lpm50]

@CoriDahmen Yes, know your help is aiding us in paying it forward!

[@novallasuter5265]

The example in the journal looks like box pleats! Cool!

[@CoriDahmen]

That’s the name! Box pleats. Thank you 😊

[@jamakrueger7460]

Thank you for sharing!!!!! Love the folds!!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you ❤

[@SunflowersAndDors]

Hey Cori, fabulous video! Loved the closure on your ideas journal, simple but so clever! ❤ loved the way you made your ruffles, I’ve never tried that method, I try to fold them as I’m sewing and I’m never really happy with the results, will definitely give this method a go 😊 love that’s you’ve enjoyed the bingo and I’ve loved seeing your makes, so inspiring 🥰🥰 so enjoying this new series, thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you, Mandy. My sewing "skills" are sketchy, at best, so trying to figure out ways that work for me is always a challenge. I love the combination of structure and freedom that your bingo game necessitates and it is exactly what I needed right now. Congratulations on a successful year and on a wonderful (and hopefully profitable) venture ❤️

[@kerynokeeffe9133]

Hi, Cori. It’s taken me all day from morning to night to be able to watch this video from start to finally, completion. Talk about getting side tracked! 😂😂 So many interruptions! It’s one of those days! Thank you for another great session full of ideas. I hope you had an awesome Mother’s Day, too. 😀

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you, Keryn. Maybe I shouldn’t mention exactly how many times I started this one 😊

[@zephyrmom67]

I am doing the bingo card too! Happy Belated Mother’s Day. I love your vids❤ & I really love your button closure

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you. Isn't the challenge fun? I'm thoroughly enjoying making little bits to meet the bingo squares suggestions, using up some scraps.

[@TheJournalCottage]

The best part about this is this using my rectangles I have a box of these “shapes of random sizes cut from scraps. I am such a believer that if you have a system for keeping your scraps you can create so much more and create so many more fun things . Thanks Cori. 💜Oh happy Mother’s Day as well. 🍃🦋

[@CoriDahmen]

So, so, so very true. Since creating the specific shelves to hold my sorted scrap containers I am a ton more productive, though I have more limited hours to create. Having storage that works for YOU is key! Completely agree. 100%.

[@katyratyra]

Always enjoy!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you, Kristy ❤

[@jamakrueger7460]

Thanks so very much!!!!!! ❤your videos😊

[@karengroff9492]

Another great video full of fantastic ideas and samples. I’ve got to get that vintage library paper. It’s so yum!

[@CoriDahmen]

Oh no kidding. Actual drool dribbled down my face when I saw it. I was clearly channeling my inner Saint Bernard!

[@dawnklein106]

I’m excited to try a couple of these!

[@CoriDahmen]

That's great to hear!

[@wynomaburkholder3684]

Thank you, Shonna. The Atelier des Arts collection just makes me swoon. As does Vintage Library ❤

Thank you, Robin. I hope you had a grand day ❤

[@patcarmody7592]

Hi Cori! You are back to work already? If so, how is it going? Your rectangles video was so fantastic!!! I love Stamperia too. My favorite is the 1 you used with the Art theme. I also need to get the the Library collection!!! Happy Mothers' Day! I hope it was a great day! It was a great weekend! Sending hugs and love.❤

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Pat, and for the fabulous card and makes my neighbor delivered this morning. Yes, I’m back at school until my next procedure on June 2nd.

[@patcarmody7592]

Happy you got my mail. I hope being back at school isn't too physically demanding. You must be tired! Is the June surgery for the meniscus?

[@istampc]

Feliz dia de las Madres sweet Cori! TY for sharing! WOW!! Another video to replay for sure and add to one of my unfinished bks! BTW, nvr feel you must apologize, it's your channel and you do you sweet friend! It's always a JOY to follow you along! Sooooooo, currently working on altering envelopes w/ a twist, ya know, such fun! Once done, debating whether to add the "rectangles" to a couple of 'idea books' I started via your inspiration and haven't quite finished. Oh been meaning to share.....remember the pics I had sent to you via email a wicked long time ago? I shared the mini bk of ideas w/ a friend and they wanted to buy, I was so touched and said, thank you, not ready to sell it tho. xoxo Again TU for always encouraging us to be creAtive!!

[@CoriDahmen]

That’s such great news! Whether or not you choose to sell us completely personal, but what an honor that someone wanted to purchase your work ❤

[@mzimany1]

Cori you always amaze me and your books are so tidy - my stile of journaling. Do you have videos of how you made this Stamperia album? Beautifully done and I love how it is bound, etc.

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you, Mary. I don't yet have a video of that Atelier des Arts process, but it's on my make-it list and it's one I intend to replicate with the Vintage Library line, so hopefully I'll get to that very soon!

[@debbiemonce6286]

Thank you Cori for all you do ;0)

[@CoriDahmen]

It’s truly my pleasure Debbie. Thank you ❤.

[@cindytheriault4105]

WOWZAAAA 👍👍👍

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you!

[@naomihall7339]

Cori, Happy Mothers Day. It's always wonderful to spend time learning from you. Love all your work and videos. Thanks for sharing. I have a question, I want to buy one of your Ink boxs that you make. I want one so bad please tell me you are still making them. Please let me know thanks so much.

[@CoriDahmen]

LOL. Thank you, Naomi. Yes. Saturday is supposed to be a great day for woodwork. I need to glue the bottoms onto some boxes, then I'll share what I've got available for purchase, and the cost.

[@deborahakahopeclark9244]

[@ritabjerstedt7386]

Thank you love it

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you, Rita ❤

[@JeanneJordanexteach]

LOL, I have the Vintage Library paper on my list! Was waiting for Joggles to get it since they discount everything. I love the images and colors of Stamperia. I think I fell in love with the line when I saw you make the journal out of the Forest paper. So pretty. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas. Cori, I have been meaning to ask you about the magnetic closures. What size are they? Does Amazon have them?

[@CoriDahmen]

I sure love those lines. Some are more feminine than my style, but I love their colors and details anyway. I use a few sizes, but I always get the Basic Grey magnets from Amazon. Extra small, I think are the ones I use most often. Can't remember the mm.... perhaps 3?

[@sandrajohnson9926]

Might as well say it ..... Happy Mom's Day!!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you, Sandra ❤

[@brookep8799]

👍😁

[@jinxie47]

Cori do you have a tutorial on how you make your pages lay like this book is?

[@CoriDahmen]

Hi. Do you mean the larger, fabric covered journal that I'm working in? The one with the Tracie Fox Creative/Love Junk Journals Tattered paint pages? Or the mini Atelier des Arts journal? Either way, videos on how to create the bases for both are coming soon... hopefully by mid-June.

[@jennip8585]

Where do you buy your Sari silk? I bought some when I was in Raleigh/Durham, but it was ridiculous expensive😳

[@CoriDahmen]

Oh gosh, I haven't purchased any in a few years! I hate to be cliche, but I'd look at sari silk on Etsy as I'm certain that's where I found min. I just got a big hank in an off white and it has lasted a really long time.

[@PurplePassionPaper]

I think Stamperia is Spanish, maybe from Spain? I love your journals, they are super cool!😊

[@CoriDahmen]

Stamperia has the coolest items and such a glorious variety. Thank you!

[@naomihall3353]

Cori, we miss you, when will you be putting out some new videos, I need more inspiration from you. Your work is just amazing and beautiful. I need a Cori fix of inspiration, help Cori help. Thanks love this video. Need more,,,,,,,,,!

[@CoriDahmen]

LOL. Thank you for making me smile 😊

[@cherylcraver160]

Anyone into book ephemera , kitty rose has an excellent vintage book lover book

[@CoriDahmen]

Oh. I'm intrigued. Is that a person? An etsy shop? A digi designer? A KZbin channel? I'd love to take a look.

[@claudiacooper1934]

That sample is pleated not ruffled.

[@CoriDahmen]

Okay. Thank you for the correction. Pleats and ruffles 😊
