I just want to say THANK YOU !!!! I have had my Cinch for 6-7 years and I have NEVER used it. When I saw your video I thought "Wait I Have One Of Those Machines !!!" So I dug it out and followed along with you and Low & Behold ... I now have a Journal. This was fun so Yes Thank You !!! Now I can start making more things. If you have anymore ideas on what to make, Please share !!

@@CraftingwithDelonda I will be waiting I don't have the cinch but I do have something very similar. What about a phot calendar?

@sandramcmillan-cato5206 that's a great idea. Let me think about that.

[@Rondaa1]

I just got the mini Cinch on clearance from Hobby Lobby and have been watching videos to learn how to use. You did a great job 👏🏽! A tip that I have been seeing is to add your back cover on last facing the front cover then cinch. This will hide the cinch seam inside the journal and provide more mobility for the pages. I hope to see more paper crafting from you soon! Check out the Posh Paper Lady for all things paper crafting. See is the Queen! Enjoy! ❤

[@deliagonzalez4187]

You can use an exacto knife with a ruler and cut off the glue. It will be faster than pulling all the pages out. Blessings

Finally, someone I trust. I have watched your channel before. I have been interested in created journals. I came across The Cinch 2 weeks ago and fell in love with it.

Not sure what to purchase.

[@sarahtapia7165]

I have the mini cinch and I actually just used mine for the first time last night to bind together the whole sewcialites quilting pattern from the Fat Quarter shop because it was 60 pages by itself and I didn’t want to put it in the binder with page protectors. I also used Acetate to put on the front and back not only to help protect the front and back but so I can also go back and add some vinyl for further embellishment. How funny I wake up to your video using the big cinch!! Mine was an 8x10 size but it was a “cinch” to put it together. I would wonder though, how punching through the thick adhesive might effect it over time.

Oh, you sound like a professional! I'm still a beginner with this thing. The possibilities seem to be endless.
