Junk Journal Planner Made from Paper Bag/Plan With Me May/New Digital Kit

Okay, so I’m a chatty little bird today, 😂. But I thought all of us here could appreciate this little story. Went into a bookstore yesterday where I spotted a leather-like journal with a dragonfly on it. Total spontaneous buy, I walked out with it. But when I got it home and opened it up my first thought was, “Oh no, this is not gonna do!” What was inside was not as attractive and did not match the appeal of the outside. A glued-spine paperblock that’s glued to the inside of the cover will not do.🤢So I immediately started ripping the paper block out of it. I’ll replace it with beautiful coffee dyed papers and a simple 3 holed pamphlet stitched signature, and of course, something pretty for the inside of the cover. It’ll be what I expected it to be before we know it. Moral of the story: don’t judge a book by it’s cover😂

I love watching you make new paper bag planners. Doesn’t matter how many times, it never gets old. I absolutely love the new digital kit, will get me a copy as soon as I am done with this post ❤ As far as the intrique die cuts, I add a copy paper as a shim. The good thing with the paper copy is that it is thin enough to not add too much pressure to your machine, and if you need more, you can always add more.

I love when I’m thinking about something and it happens the next day. Last night I was going through my Calendar, planning out my May appointments (just Drs. Nothing fun 😢😢😢) and I realized, “Barbara will be making her new Journal cover and showing us her May digitals!” Open Facebook this morning and there it was. So fun! I heard no music. So I think you’re safe. I love your new cover, love the oval, the purple, the sewing, the splatters, the die cuts the thread (but I liked the purple button)… AND…. I’m surprised, I love the inside material too!! I’m glad your rib is healing and I hope you have an amazing vacation with your hubby! Thanks for inspiring us!♥️♥️♥️

I used to have the same problem before with my die cuts. I bought a cutting mat from the dollar store and cut it down to fit my cuttlebug machine. Game changer…I don’t have the issues anymore. Btw, I didn’t hear any music and yes, it does look like a bird’s head 😂

Lovely kit 😍 I wish you made more videos of 5 non ctrafting items challenge 😁 they are unpredictable 🤭

[@Themagicalheartshop]

For the delicate die cuts I 1. tape the die cut to the paper, make sure that it is taped so that after you cut it won't fall off. 2. Place the die cut down on the bottom plate so that paper is on top of it. (Instructions say paper side on bottom plate) 3. After I cut it, i don't pull the tape off immediately, I put it on the table paper on top, and look to see what looks uncut. If something looks uncut I use the back of the spoon to rub over that area. Use a little pressure and it will complete the cut.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the advice! 😃👍🏻❤️

[@JessicaHarris]

Enjoy your vacation!

[@anitatinlin1528]

Yes, I think you need to add an additional layer or two to increase the pressure, not necessarily paper. I use a plastic sheet called a shim.

[@wrenbayley]

I’m glad you’re still showing the making of your newest planners. It helps me to think of new ideas of how to create my own planner for the month. Most months I can take your ideas, and come up with something different that matches my personal style. But I still need that help. So thank you.

[@PapercraftwithKay]

I use white cardstock for die cutting and a metal shim in the cutting plate layers helps with fine die cuts. Another great video Barbara. Thankyou 😊

[@CanadaFree.6014]

Hi Barbara, I just recently bought a Sizzix machine and it worked great first on the Thinlits. The next day it was doing the same thing as yours and I noticed it seemed to be harder running it through the machine. I finally figured it out. The top layer gets a bow in with use. I had flipped it over without knowing, so that the machine was struggling against the bow as well as trying to cut. It didn't cut through the paper. Once I realised it, I flipped the plastic layer over and it worked!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for letting me know! ❤️

[@lotusflowerpassion]

I usually run through three times and I use heavy card stock paper when taking out pieces I start when still in die and poke out the little circles first which then pushes them out to , they come out really easy no tearing . love the cover Fabric so kool.

It's always enjoyable to see, and this time I got inspired to create a cover for my small art journal I'm creating, while watching your video. 😊 Noisy neighbours isn't fun att all, and notices for not following copyright with sounds can be equally annoying... I once got told off by Facebook for using a sound that wasn't mine... The seagulls were outside, sounding as they do, and Facebook wanted me to get copyright for the sound. I wasn't sure how to ask the seagulls for permission, though... 🙃

[@wandaspencer9523]

Absolutely beautiful journal cover… great video! I noticed the back of your die cuts have the wear pattern of the cutting plate on them. That will affect your die’s ability to cut evenly. There are options for improvement, one is the magnetic die platform for use with intricate dies, but not sure if they are available everywhere. Another thing I have found to work is waxed paper or a new dryer sheet. They can help release the paper with a clean cut. I will also run a couple layers of foil through with the die to sharpen the edges of the die. However, I would invest in some new cutting plates. Hope you find something that works! 😊 have a great holiday! ❤

Thanks for sharing all your tips! ❤️🥰

Thank you so much Barbara. Great inspiration as usual. I usually spend my Saturday relaxing and catching up on videos for inspiration and then spend all Sunday drinking coffee and gtea at my desk crafting and having a midday break walking round my local park with a take away coffee. I have just finished my first two altered books and I am about to start a new altered book, I am not brave enough to try to make signatures yet. But I am definitely thinking of putting my dress made from scraps inspired by you previous video either on the cover, or probably on the first page of the book. I love the idea of making the outside and inside of the cover contrast.

Hi, ich habe genau das gleiche Problem mit den Stanzteilen. Die filigranen Teile sind nicht durchgeschnitten und ich kriege die Reste nicht raus. 😢 Tolles Journal und dein neues Papier gefällt mir sehr gut! 😊

[@malindahatter6182]

The die cutting is frustrating. I find several things can affect this. So look at these things to see if there is anything you can do. First of all, adjust your cutting pressure a bit to make your sandwich thicker. Secondly, I have noticed if my top mat is warped it will cause the paper(thick or thin) to cut in some spots and not in others. Thirdly, some die cutting machines require an additional precision plate to ensure the thinlits cut nicely. Hope this can help. Afterthought: if your plate is very used and no longer smooth it can cause the miscuts as well.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your tips! ❤️

[@loribaca9065]

Hi beautiful! I finished putting together my planner/journal for the next 4 months today. I just couldn't plan in April. I traveled for training and then hosted A class for 31 attendees. After that I needed to rest and catch up on chores. I decided to not add to my stress level by being upset over not journaling or forcing myself to do it, and then resenting something that should be for fun. So I printed out a couple your journal kits so I can set up the May pages. Thank you for your inspiration.

Stunning new journal

[@kristinluvsdogs]

Gorgeous new kit!! Same issues with the same dies.😢

[@kykategray]

I don’t have these issues with die cutting, and I die cut A LOT, mainly using 120# cardstock that is no longer available and 130# Canson Watercolor. I don’t think the paper is your issue. With a Big Shot, you can try using a Chrome Precision base plate in place of one of the clear plates. That plate is made specifically for using with intricate dies. Otherwise, you may consider replacing your machine. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to buy new dies only to have the results you showed. You aren’t doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, I suspect it’s your machine. Your new planner looks amazing!

[@MomentsbyLiz]

I use the watercolor paper from Action to cut out most of my floral dies, this way l can paint/distress them if l wish to. Sometimes l do add an extra piece of cardstock (or watercolor paper ) to add more pressure. But every so often l have a bad die and in the naughty pile it goes! * the Le Grand Bloc watercolor Papier from Boesner also works good…it’s thinner then Actions watercolor paper

I haven’t used fine die cuts in a while, but in past I would run them through with wax paper along with whatever paper I’m trying to cut. That worked to make the pieces pop out easier because of the wax. Just make sure you’re not using uncoated parchment paper…it’s not quite the same. I hope this helps 🥰

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks!

[@2845kathy]

Suggest add metal shim under your dies. ❤

[@theresaconway-hayes]

Thanks. I've got a container of water on my desk for that, but maybe it is the medium that I'm using or the types of brushes that I'm using. I'll keep experimenting.

[@tannasunderlin5418]

Using a metal shim might help with the die cutting

[@candmmom]

Someone else may have mentioned this but you can put wax paper or parchment paper between your paper and die and sometimes you even get the extra piece from the wax or parchment paper.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! ❤️

[@allisonjames2923]

It’s ok. We can’t hear the music - well not here In Australia anyway 🙃 Love your new kit & having a nice long video to watch. As to the die cut issue - I know it well! 😩 You need a shim to add to your die cutting plate sandwich. You can buy thin metal shims, or just add sheets of paper as needed on top of your cutting plate or on top of the dies (which will actually emboss the paper & looks pretty when ink is brushed over). But you can also add a thin piece of tracing paper, freezer paper, or non-stick baking paper between your die cut & your paper/cardstock. That will also help you get all the pieces out of intricate dies easily. I have an A4 BigShot so I find I get better cuts if I place my dies along the sides rather than in the middle too. I also have a theory about running a thin layer of candle wax along the dies to help them release the paper, but haven’t tried it yet. It’s the same principle as using dryer sheets but less expensive (as they’re not common In Australia). Hope that helps 😊 Hugs, Carrie

I couldn’t get the bubbles to stick to Matt Photo Paper. Maybe it is too resistant when embossing or inking. The journal is beautiful.

[@sophiahodgson85]

Hey Barbara, I’m sure you’ve tried this already, but when was the last time you changed your die cutting machine’s cutting pads? After time they become so worn that intricate dies don’t cut as well, so changing your cutting pads might improve your cuts with the butterfly die? Also, using corn starch or an embossing buddy can help with embossing powder if it sticks where you don’t want it. I’ve never made a fabric journal before - I have added fabric to pages but that’s it. I love how flexible your fabric journal looks! I will see if I have bravery to try it one day…

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for your tips! ❤️

[@ddmattin]

I feel your pain with die cuts that don’t cooperate-so annoying ! I have better luck adding 2or3 sheets of paper over the top plastic thing and run it through at least 3 times. I’ve used different papers and cheap watercolor paper works better for me than the heavier kind. That said, I have a few dies that never cooperate!

[@allisonjames2923]

👀 an awesome way of adding gold accents that aren’t splattering or embossing - use your Gelli plate. Use mixed metallic colour scraps or sheets of normal gold/rose gold/copper/silver etc leaf & stick them to a bare Gelli plate. Flex your plate in every direction to crack the metal leaf if you used whole sheets & you can add some alcohol inks to colour the cracks. You can use your brayer to spread the alcohol inks, although it will also shift some of the gold leaf, but I think that’s cool. Let it dry for a few minutes, add a background layer of paint & pull it like normal. It creates the coolest effect! I’ll go look up the link to the video I saw this on in case anyone wants to try it. Enjoy 😁 And have an awesome holiday Barbara!
