Scrap Buster Idea Book; creating the pages (16-23)

[@angelalaw7133]

Dear Cori I just had to add a note..your videos are wonderful...you are SO organised..SO talented and SO generous in sharing SO much information. Your journals are BEAUTIFUL Thank you..I have learned a lot

[@nancynorris9822]

You are a cute couple, but your child is funny looking! LOL! 😄 🐒 Wow! You are so clever and full of ideas! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I love your idea book. I'm saving ideas and making ephemera to put in my future book. 🤗. PS- I have a Schnauzer named Oliver! He's now 12 and all silver (like me!) but he still makes me laugh every day! 🐕

[@surfmomma1949]

Awesome! What a wonderful resource. At 71 I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast. Now I can get ideas from you! Thanks for posting. BTW I don’t think it was a waste if your time.. just the opposite.

[@rosemareemclure3227]

Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us all. I love that you are using the sales of the items you create to help fund things for your student. I am a qualified teacher too but a car accident and subsequent spinal injuries forced me out of the classroom. Teachers in Australia are fairly well paid, but our classrooms never seem to have enough supplies to get through the year and certainly no ‘special’ items. I’m sure I spent at least a third of my wage on supplies, including having a full cupboard of various food items, and extra school uniforms as our school was in a poorer area and some families just didn’t have the resources to supply adequate lunches etc. I still miss teaching terribly and would return tomorrow if I were able.

[@CoriDahmen]

I'm so sorry you had to cease doing something you love. I was moved to our on-line platform at the beginning of last year and I was dreading it. Now I've switched to that method on teaching permanently because I really love it! Helping the kids become who they can be as independent learners is wonderful and I love teaching in an on-line format. Would that be something you could consider? My physical classroom has a lot of books and book sets and I knew it was imperative to get books into the kids' hands. That need prompted the start of my Etsy shgop and it has been a blessing beyond my imagination. Happy creating to you Rosemarie and be well.

[@wonderwonder30]

Cori, you are fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to do what you do. I would like to say don’t feel pressure to finish a project or put something into your Etsy shop because taking time for yourself or taking care of your family is what’s important. I think I can say for a majority of us, when you take the time to teach and upload a video I am very grateful. So, take your time and do what you can when you can and we will be here to learn from you. Again, thank you!

[@sharronpoloka1779]

I am loving this series. I think it is one I will rewatch multiple times there is just so much to take in! I appreciate all the time you take to explain how you create your pages. Beautiful book!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Sharron and I'm happy to hear that you're finding it helpful.

[@jeanettepridmore3865]

I love your ideas, please keep videoing your creative pages.

[@teresemartinez6215]

I'm impressed with your creativity. I am continually inspired by your videos. Thank you for sharing, enjoy your weekend!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Terese and I hope your weekend is wonderful as well!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Cori, I really really enjoyed watching you create and take us through your awesome 👏 design journals. They are really really stunning and gorgeous too. Absolutely, Love ❤️ them. I really really love ❤️ your style too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@kaybreedlove3050]

Love all the help and fun you share!♥️

[@kathleenhansenownerofkamah9064]

I think you are awesome for doing everything you do for everyone.

[@Freespiritarts]

The colors are so yummy, neutrals, golds, yellows...I love it.

[@wendymcginness4098]

I am very new at this but I had to tell you I absolutely love your journals and videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Wendy, and welcome 😊 I hope you're being inspired to try new things.

[@denisebrown4933]

Have so much fun with Oliver, Cori! Kittens are pure pleasure, in my opinion. Your use of the packing tape on the back of the belly band and other places is brilliant. I have had some things catch and I solved the problem with washi but the packing tape would be so much easier. Thanks for all your work and sharing your process. And thanks for addressing my question about scrapbooking/junk journaling. Can’t wait for Stamperia Forest.

[@CoriDahmen]

You're very welcome Denise and me too! That Stamperia Forest is calling to me!

[@kathiehatfield7852]

Thanks again Cori! I’m following right along with you and so happy to have all these techniques in one place. I thank you for your heart for your students!

[@susiengler9791]

OMG Cori. Thank you so much for what you are doing for us. I just realise what an immense Job you are doing. I am spending days just amking

[@CoriDahmen]

Monday is my half-birthday (and yes! I celebrate my half-birthday) and I plan to spend the entire day making things... just for fun! Happy creating to you :)

[@dblock061]

@@CoriDahmen ha just like Ramona the Brave! Ok. Found the paper flattering video, it's flips flaps & folds episode 10. Also do NOT ORDER dollhouse brads unless you want 1/8" length. 🙄 However, found 1/8" diameter at the eyelet outlet online. Ok. That's all for now. Just hoping you see my comments cuz I can't figure out how to pm you. Lol.

[@lisac7956]

I absolutely love to watch you! You have wonderful ideas and resources too! I just started and I'm almost done my first journal but I'm intimidated by the book binding part! I love making stuff especially paper flowers! I love your style! It's very much like mine! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you and there are lots of ways to bind in the pages. Find one that best suits you!!!

[@kerynokeeffe9133]

Thank you, Cori. Great work! Relax and enjoy your family time! Your passion for this craft is very inspiring and makes it a delight to watch and listen to your videos! 😀💞

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Keryn. Happy weekend and happy creating to you!

[@thejourneytracker2988]

So many amazing ideas...Thanks for sharing

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

You just put a huge smile on my face lol!! I live in Indy, and my best friend is from Jeffersonville Indiana!! And I know that the receipt you used said Dellinger on it, but here is a fun fact, the "Dillinger" family is actually from Mooresville Indiana, which is right outside Indianapolis!! The name Dillinger and Kendrick are still very well known names here in the area!! Thanks for the smile!! Enjoy your day!! Always, Leslie

[@CoriDahmen]

That is all kinds of fabulous. I love hearing about connections such as this. Thank you, Leslie, and happy creating!

[@yvonnekelly1345]

Goodness you are so organised. That was a lot of work. Thank you.

[@CoriDahmen]

I still love that journal. It was a ton of fun to create 😊

[@PaperInspirationsAU]

So many beautiful ideas Cori. My hubby sat down and was watching with me and was also very impressed. Lol. Thank you for all the inspiration. Xx

[@jamiemueller1881]

My husband also sat with me! He told me he thinks this is the most beautiful work he's seen of all of the ones I share with him.

[@jamiemueller1881]

Wow; that use of the cast off half-circles is brilliant! You're a consummate artist. I just love how you use everything and yet the tonal choices pull everything together. This is really exquisite work.

[@SandyKay65]

I've recently started doing journals and found your channel! WOW! You have some amazing ideas!

[@CoriDahmen]

Welcome to this wonderfully fun hobby and thank you!

[@lizvaldron2150]

[@Top-cat-mavrick]

Cori thank you so much for your generosity. I absolutely love your ideas and I find your channel is my favorite and go to when I’m needing inspiration. I so enjoy watching and you have one of tho most calming voice I’ve ever listened to😊

[@prof.mommyarty]

I'm behind with my videos and not sure if I missed one lol. I have to say, you've put so much hard work into this and it's greatly appreciated! Thank you 💖 I learn something every time I watch and I love learning. Gotta love Amazon prime! It's worth paying a pound or two more 😄. Tfs 💖💖

[@carollaws838]

Really enjoying this series Cori xx

[@evelynhughes951]

Great directions, so informative and creative.

[@cindyinaz2357]

Great idea for the flower and using a file on them👍🏼

[@JudyDeeJones]

I love your use of divots to make a border! You’re so creative!

[@gregrossman7861]

Good day. How are you?

[@carolwall2622]

Amazing wonderful teaching...just what i have needed.

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Carol 💕

[@jamiemueller1881]

Also...you've made me fall in love with golds, browns, creams, taupes …the forgotten sisters of the color family. Your palette is so restful and calming.

[@Ammiel7]

Gosh Im trying to get time to begin your amazing tutorials So clever and innovative, the idea of using the divets are simple but look fantastic, would have never thought to do that As I’m reasonably new at this game, 😉 Im in need of help big time Thank you so much for your kindest in sharing how too do these cute add-ins Im getting a couple of albums ready to begin from the top Cheers 🇦🇺🌸❤️

[@cerarod4248]

So beautiful! I love how you use all of your scraps snd punches.

[@1busybetty]

Cori, thank you for your generosity in creating your videos! It's always a great day when I see a new one pop up. All my questions were answered in today's video-thank you. I had forgotten about your paper press for flattening your papers and will need to revisit that video. Enjoy you weekend with family! Look forward to seeing you next week!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Betty and I'm glad the questions were answered. Happy weekend and creating to you!

[@claudiasende6408]

So much beautifull ideas. I love the ruffles. Many thanks :)

[@kathyfifer7966]

I’m having so much fun making this along with you (although I can’t keep up) I am also making a notebook with drawings on how you make everything to help me remember some of your ideas. But I’m behind, so maybe I can get caught up this weekend. You’re such a good teacher and so much detail. I can feel your passion, Thank you! Enjoy your time with family - you deserve it!

[@cknunn4349]

Wow---I just live a few miles from Jeffersonville, Indiana. I'm in Charlestown, Indiana!!!

[@2281CozyBrickCape]

Awesome projects, thank you!

[@fiddliedee01]

Just loving this whole process Cori, all your pages are nice and busy which is so exciting to look through. The Seth Apter beeswax and the Nevo gloss seem to be soooo dam hard to get here in the UK, I'll keep trying though, such a beautiful effect using them. :) xx

[@nancypyter1511]

Love this book Cori!

[@gregrossman7861]

Good day Nancy. How are you?

[@mimma301]

Lo dovrei scrivere sotto ogni tuo video: adoro il tuo stile!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you. I try to change things up a bit, but I always seem to return to things that look like me :)

Bonjour et merci!

[@janicebellino460]

Awesomeness

[@susiengler9791]

Sorry. Off it went. I am spending days just making ephemeras, tags and paper, as I am missing Tim Holtz papers. What a wonderful hobby. Love from Switzerland

[@CoriDahmen]

That works too! I encourage people to use what they have and pillage from their craft stash. Love to you from Washington state.

[@doodahgurlie]

Another detailed and informative video, Cori. I'm curious why you use coffee over tea for dying your papers?

[@CoriDahmen]

I love coffee. I do. The smell, the taste, the steam, the flavor. Tea is great, but the smell of brewed coffee makes my heart happy, so that's what I use.

[@deborahtrout8821]

Thanks again for sharing. I love your work. Will this series be in a "mix" start to finish? 💕

[@minkgin3370]

There’s some great ideas there, I look forward to giving them a try. Thanks.

[@CoriDahmen]

Unless I've messed up (which is entirely possible), there is a scrap buster playlist shown on my channel that includes all the videos in this series.

[@shadowgirl815]

Cori...You. Are. Amazing! 💜 I do have a question...Where do you find your braille paper? I apologize if you have already mentioned it.

[@susanasaade5554]

es ,una lastima que no pueda escribirle en su idioma para decirle cuanto la quiero y admiro,,que lindos los dos su marido y usted , desde grecia con carino!!!!!!

[@CoriDahmen]

Google Translate allowed me to enjoy your message. Thank you Susana, and love from Washington state!

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

Cori i know this is an older video but what binding system did you use in these idea books? Thank you ahead of time.

[@CoriDahmen]

I use a sewn-in-hinge binding. There is a video (I believe it's on the playlist) sharing how I made the cover.

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

@CoriDahmen Thank you so much. I'll go look for it for sure. ❤️

[@LindaMZH65]

I can’t believe how chunky this book is getting, (squeal)! 😘

[@CoriDahmen]

Even with the extra spine width, I just new this one would be a chubster. It's kinda how I roll.

[@karenholst8306]

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

[@nancybeebe7622]

Cory can you show us how you do t window tags?

[@CoriDahmen]

Hello! I thought I had, but I’ll be glad to share again. It’s entirely possible that I meant to show it then forgot 😊

[@SherryRector]

Do you have a video to make the book itself with the insertion of the blank pages?

[@CoriDahmen]

Yes! I'm sorry for the very delayed response, but I hope you were able to find it.

[@tlyria]

Please link your Etsy under your videos. :)

[@deniseronn9941]

Love all your ideas! You inspirer me to create something everyday! One question: Where do you get the caps for your glue bottles?

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Denise and I got those at Daiso, which is a Japanese dollar store. Most craft stores (and Amazon) carry them also. They are knitting needle tips.

[@tgsdale]

@@CoriDahmen l. K lol

[@novenaslaterroth3581]

Just a suggestion - I found some knitting needle caps/point protectors that work great on my Art Glitter Glue. Bonus hint - I stick the stainless steel pin through the cap so that it can insert into the glue tip.

[@lorieduff7126]

What is the Nuevo glaze called I can’t find it??

[@mariacrayne4276]

Saw it on amazon

[@gorschtown]

I’ve never seen anyone actually USE the measurements on the Tim Holtz mats 😂

[@CoriDahmen]

LOL! It's probably my favorite thing about the mat.... and that it doesn't warp with my heat tool :)

[@maryeldred9500]

Will you share your prices

[@CoriDahmen]

Prices for the completed idea books? I think they were $250. It's been a few years 😊

[@nancylemieux8058]

For the page at 17:35, I just gave your 'belly- band' a new name....How about a "tummy-tuck' ?

[@CoriDahmen]

LOL! I could use one of those!
