Embellishment Clusters and Paperclips - How To Video

Hello everyone after I finished my Prima Misty Rose mini for Scrapbooker of Country Craft Creations I had a request to show how I would create element clusters and paper clips using the scraps. This video will show you a step by step for several of the designs I created. In all I made 12 clusters with the leftovers. I will return shortly and we'll put the clusters on the cards to finish them up. Lots of food for thought to using up your leftovers. Huge thank you to Tammy Merrill of Country Craft Creations for sending me the gorgeous Misty Rose collection to play with.

You inspired me to make some cards! I have gotten so absorbed in making mini's that I have left cardmaking. This was just what I needed to get back to some fun and gorgeous cards! You can touch the lives of a lot more people if you also make and send cards! Thanks Patti!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Oh Jan thank you and boy are you right. It always amazes me when I visit relatives and see a card I’d sent months prior on display. We so forgot how little ‘real’ mail people get anymore. I’m glad my video gave you that push to start cardmaking again. It’s such a win win. The main project is done and then those scraps get used into some beautiful cards.

[@fibergoddess1]

Your process is amazing!!! The clusters have so much movement. I like that you have chosen all of your potential elements in advance so that all of the video time is spent watching you design the piece. Very informative! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thank you so much. I’m kind of in love with clusters and strips right now.

[@sandyhearn8332]

Your creations are so pretty. I usually have a video playing while I craft just for background noise, rarely actually seeing any of it. I actually watched this one.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

I understand Sandy, I do the same. Glad the clusters caught you eye.

[@sunfish4]

LOL Patti, a flower a feather, a whatever. I love all the embellishments and how you just made it look like they were thrown together. What great cards to send to friends. :)

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Haha thrown together huh? Thanks my friend you know how many of those whatever’s we having laying around 🤣

[@TootieBeebleBugCreations]

One word...AAHHMMAAZZIINNGG!! I will be watching all of your videos. You truly have God given talent!!💛🌻

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thank Yvonne for watching, so appreciated

[@AmeliasMiMi]

These are just stunning! Also thanks for showing the process along with the results.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Oh you're so welcome Jennifer, I figure if people get tired of listening to me they can always fast forward but sometimes when you see things done real time you pick up little tidbits of how someone else does something. Thanks for watching! Patti

[@msmarlene4977]

I just love this look! Thanks for reminding me I should do this more often with my bits and pieces.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

It begins to get addicting Marlene and so nice no scraps to store.

[@jackiegermann9556]

Your embellishments are absolutely lovely, thank you so much for sharing

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thanks Jackie, I'm glad I could give you a little push to use up your scraps, I'll tell you it's a great feeling to empty out a bin, box, folder or whatever you store them in. Patti

[@lynnharrell303]

OMG love these. I was hoping you would show the paperclip from the beginning and what you did with the white paper. Going to pull out my bits and pieces box and play some today. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

So glad you liked it Lynn and it's given you some ideas. Have fun!

[@elizabethscustomcraftscrea333]

That is such a creative idea!!! Can’t wait to see more!!!

[@carolinefolts1596]

I love, love these ! I'm into card making now, and was wondering how I could work collating into my cards and this is Perfect! Thank so much for sharing this, learned so much. I hope you do more vids like this, Please. 😊❤️

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Caroline I was just telling another viewer how popular this video has been. I love doing the clusters and using up bits and pieces I have laying around so yes I'll surely do another one for all of you. Thanks so much for stopping by.

[@angieleblanc6819]

I've bought several pieces from Reneabouquets and I love her stuff, its unlike anything else, its just beautiful beyond words

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

I totally agree! Thanks for stopping by Angie

[@lisaowen2930]

Oh Patti, these are just beautiful and so precious! I love them. Just goes to show you should never throw anything away! 💕💕

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Oh isn't that the truth and when you do finally decide to pitch something out a week later you wish you'd kept it. But it's so hard, you really can't keep it all. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@karenwilson6034]

These are so beautiful. Just what I was looking for to instruct me on how to make these. Thank you.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thanks Karen glad the video helped.

[@gramcheryl1]

I absolutely love being inspired by you to use up scraps....please keep sharing how you use up your scraps ....so awesome !!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Cheryl I just posted a new video yesterday sharing up cycling last years calendar. You may like that idea as well. Thanks for watching.

[@koyosensebe8027]

Can you tell I am very late in answering my comments, please forgive me. Thank you so much for watching my videos.

[@dorothyandrews8872]

I have just found your channel and its so inspiring, usually I would say enough enough, but with what you do it doesn't look overdone like mine do sometimes so will just keep trying but love your ideas Thanks again from Canada

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Oh welcome! I’m glad I’ve given you food for thought and perhaps some inspiration. Keep playing until it looks and feels right to you!

[@hodgepodgecottage2674]

Hi, I’ve just found you. I don’t do the paper lips but the embellishment clusters for cards are the nicest I have seen tfs

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Oh thank you Ruth. I’m glad you found my channel. Hope you’ll stop by often.

[@sherriep2630]

Such great ideas. You make it look so easy. Will have to give this a try. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Oh you're so welcome Sherrie. I wish I had enough hours in the day to pull out all my old scraps and do this!

[@angelrose4968]

Love your clusters!!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thank you!

[@antm64]

Thanks for telling us which ink your used...just the right color on these paper bits and pieces. That Teflon bone folder really doesn't leave any pressure marks...thanks for suggesting this product a few months ago. Love this shabby chic clustering of stuff! I would swear that every one of these was planned! Well done!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thanks Martie. Oh I love the Teflon bone folder too. I want the square one, someday.

[@jackiegermann9556]

Stunning!!!!!!

Patti - you outdid yourself again - Everyone of the embellishments are gorgeous - soooooo pretty!!!!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thank you Cheryl, working on the last video which will be the completed cards now. I'll end up with zippo left of the collection, which is always a win win.

[@ItripledogdareU]

Great job, love the colors and feathers. tfs

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Thanks bunches 😬

[@sharondutchak6841]

After watching your videos I am wondering how you keep track of the many lovely embellishment components you put into your lovely creations. Love your videos and the completed products.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Hi Sharon, are you wondering how I store the embellishments or how I remember what came from where and who? If it's the latter, and it's been gifted to me I try to remember to put the gifter's name on the packaging. If it's the storing and organization, wow that's a never ending process. Trying to remember what I put where drives me crazy at times. I know probably 85% for sure where things are but of course often it's the other 15% that I want, isn't that the way!

[@maryjaneocl]

Such fun to do, I love what you are doing with your scraps etc. X

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

These were so fun to do. Thanks for watching

Oh my gosh, how did my KZbin just bring up the first video for this project? I'm so mad! I must have inadvertently unchecked the bell! Rechecking it right now -- because I noticed!

I really think it’s KZbin sometimes it won’t even let me check the bell. Makes me so mad.

Once again, great video Little Sissy. Just wondering when you got so organized, neat and thrifty using up all your odds and ends..... I remember when..... laughing. I won't tell.

[@youcteena]

So glad I watched this! I have lots of “cluster making” stuff! Awesome idea! Also, any problems I’ve had with my corner stomper were operator error! LOL

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Oh that was fun to do. The clusters don’t take a lot but the dimension to them makes them so fun to make.

Hello, I just found your channel, your art is so very beautiful ! Do you sell your work? I checked but I could not find your art work. Do you take orders for custom journals? I just love your videos! Thank you so very much for sharing ! Xoxo

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Hi Connie, I don't take custom orders just because life gets in the way, but I am open to selling anything I make. I have lots and lots and lots of mini albums and journals here and finished. All I have video taped and are on you tube. If you see anything on my channel please message me for a price. I just have procrastinated about setting up a shop but I know I need to. You can reach me via email at [e-mail]

[@barbaraduhamell5407]

I love these clusters so much, I can think of a few places I would love to use them. Question, what kind of double sided tape are you using and where do you purchase it at, Love all your videos

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Hi Barb. I either use Scor Tape which I get at Country Craft Creations online or Miracle Tape through Viva Las Vegas Stamps also online.
