Junk Journal Tutorial for Beginners - Ep 7 Beginners Junk Journal Series - Clusters

[@Sherry1946AL]

You’re doing it again, Tina. Creating a series that makes me bite my fingernails waiting for the next one. Your creativity is such a gift. To all of us.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, thank you x

[@lynngudgeon9416]

You make the prettiest clusters. I love the idea of the coloring book, very clever. Thank you and have a blessed day 💕.

[@Mommyoffive4Him]

I love how you just play through it! You make it look so easy. I love the clusters....definitely doing that this week!! Thanks again, Tina!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Kerri, have fun with your clusters x

[@lynnmartin5141]

Love how you decide which pages to use, very pretty pieces, layering was always awful for me, but I’m learning, thanks to you and other artists, love them Thank you. Xx😁🥰🇬🇧

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Lynn x

[@karensmith9055]

It always amazes me how you fussy cut with the big scissors! It is all coming together so well. Looks fabulous.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Karen. I honestly find the big scissors so much easier than smaller ones x

[@grahamfox931]

Morning Tina, thank you for your inspiration. It is surprising what can be done with just a dab of distressing ink. Makes everything lovely and vintagey. The clusters are so pretty and I love to have some available because they always come in handy. I am sure lots of people are learning such a lot, it is good to go right back to basics and to remember how to use what we have. Hope you have a wonderful weekend with your family. Blessings and hugs. Diana

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Diana. Yes you're right, that distress ink is just like sprinkling on magic fairy dust isn't it? It just transforms the appearance completely x

[@michellehemsath9294]

I loved seeing the clusters come together with the variety of things you purchased in the last video. I couldn't see the butterflies working until you brought them together with the rest. That's why I love watching your videos. Well, not the ONLY reason. :)

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Michelle, I appreciate your kindness so very much x

[@I_am_Michelle]

You did it again! Such lovely little clusters and perfect decorations.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Bernice x

[@gionun8950]

Very sweet clusters. I'm always impressed that you can cut straight just with your scissors. Even with a ruler I'm challenged. Tfs

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I am worse with a ruler! Lol x

[@janinewoodhull3611]

I'm loving this series, Tina! You do such a great job of explaining everything. The white flowers you fussy cut look to me like they might be carnations, but I can't see close enough to be certain. It's all beautiful!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Janine, I am not too sure what they are tbh, but they are pretty x

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, yes I would have loved something like this too. My sister hasn’t watched it, lol x

[@lindahurlock-sewoneofakind6155]

Hi Tina, these clusters are so cute!! I love the butterflies from the book! That book was a brilliant purchase! You can leave them black and white, coffee dye them as you did or color them in. Very versatile. Have a good day! Hugs 🤗

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Linda, it was the first time I have ever used a colouring book in this way, but they worked quite well didn't they? x

[@AntonioMakes]

I love your clusters 😍they are always so stylish and unique 🌸😘

yah fussy cutting! My printer had a problem last year and printed lots of your Rose pages probably 4 of each set.... needles to say I cut them all out and no more fussy cutting problem. great shopping haul! love this series. hugs

Lol, thank you so much Laura, all these years that you have been making clusters and trying to convince me.......well I am now fully converted!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your persistence, haha. Hope you and yours are all safe and well x

[@lauravasquez169]

Glad that I could help you. You could still add a piece of paper and make them into paper clips or hidden paperclips. Much love ❤❤❤

[@ruthrivera4823]

Pretty!!!

[@sararichards518]

These clusters are so pretty. I wish I’d seen something like this when I first started papercrafting, I always felt I had to use things as printed etc. So even though I’ve made a few clusters this gives me more ideas to try for a mass make very soon. So useful as you say. I love the colour of the paper in the old book. I’ve always loved the smell and the texture as well. I’ve bought a few things (hmmm....🙄😁) this month. Perhaps hubby will treat me to a trip to The Range near us. Happily shielding ends this weekend so I can shop in person rather than a well known firm. Hugs 🌸💐

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Sara, I am excited for you, you will be able to venture out to the Range so soon now. Yes I have bought a few (too many) things this month too..... Lol xx

[@katherinehazard7580]

Hello Tina! Love this series! I was thinking when you started this series that I found I was more productive with less supplies as I did not feel like I had so many choices that I was stuck! I love how you are kind of back to basics! Hugs!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I think you’re right Katherine, sometimes having so many things is just overwhelming isn’t it? Hope you’re having a great weekend x

I love the floral paper

It's really pretty isn't it? x

[@leilahwilliams9232]

very pretty clusters and the pages turned out wonderful. I had a great time shopping with you to! I wish I could have been there I saw alot of goodies, I live at the coast in the states so we don't have any kind of craft stores around here, I have to drive into the city when I want to shop! or online but I like to see the things if you know what I mean.

[@heatherb7491]

Hi Tina, late watching you tonight as I’ve been busy finishing 2 journals for my shop. Love, love love the altered book, it’s coming along really nicely. I have made quite a lot of the things you have shown us how to do, but as yet not really made that many cluster, so really must make some. The other thing I seem to be afraid of are snippet rolls (for some strange reason) they scare me lol. Hope you’re having a good weekend. Xx

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I just left a review for my awesome journal that I purchased from you, I love it so much, you are super talented. Yes it's weird isn't it? Clusters and snippets used to scare me, but once you do a couple they are just super addictive!! Like most of it. Lol. Hope your week is going great x

[@ealainstudiosart8106]

Fussy cutting.....yes! Love it lol

[@hazycrazyartz]

Hi Tina, weirdly I went into our The Range earlier before I saw this. It's obviously not as extensive as yours. (Newark, Notts). I have been Junk Journalling on and off for a few months. Never thought about clusters, they look great, so I am inspired by yours. I would never in a million years have used and old book, and I do prefer -definitely- to make them from scratch using the three pamphlet stitch, though. But I am loving this series. Thanks x

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

We are really lucky, as different branches of the Range do vary hugely, ours is only a couple of years old, and is a really good one. Thank you so much for your kindness, and have fun if you make some clusters x

[@jbresslin]

I watched your Edith Holden journal making one too. I love that journal. The dress cover. If you have any like that I would like to purchase. It’s So fun to watch u.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Jody, I really must make another using Edith Holden pieces x

Oh no! I don’t know this journal. And I don’t know Edith Holden! Where do I find her/it? I don’t like not knowing?

[@prof.mommyarty]

Yes I think it is a hydrangea! I love fussy cutting but can't speed cut like you 😁. Great way to dry your flowers! Not just your cutting, it's happened to me 😄. Love that hessian/burlap and what a bargain! They have the hessian flowers online for £2 which would have been awesome for you. Love these pretty pages😍💖

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you for claryfiing the flower, I am terrible with my botanical knowledge! Lack of perhaps I should say, other than daffodils, I am completely in the dark!!! Haha. Oh I have seen those hessian flowers somewhere before, they are gorgeous x

[@prof.mommyarty]

Lol we're kinda coming close to the end of my knowledge now! Just some I've grown x

[@Sherry1946AL]

I have hydrangeas. An interesting thing about them is that they get their color based on the soil they are in. The more acid the soil has, the more blue the hydrangeas will be. With virtually no acid in the soil, the flower will be pink. You often grow hydrangeas that have both blue and pinkish, as well as a purplish color, all on the same bush. Now, why the white ones are white, I just don’t know. The limitation of my knowledge of the field of horticulture may be read above.

[@prof.mommyarty]

Oh wow that's interesting! I never knew that 😁

Ugh -- we have all of these kittens -- their departure dates keep getting pushed back due to covid -- double ugh -- so I don't know which was dirtier, all of my floors in the kitchen, dining, living room and hallway, or the words in my brain I was calling these kittens for getting into the trash and tracking things I do not want to think about all through the house -- luckily, I have one of those steam cleaners -- they are wonderful; mine is a bissell and costs about a hundred US dollars on Amazon -- best purchase ever; they say not to, but I also throw in some pinesol or other cleaner -- so after grousing, and then being pleased the floors are clean -- for now; give 'em 10 minutes -- I retired to my boudoir and gracefully placed myself upon my bed -- no, I didn't. I came in; shut the door to keep those troublesome, but still adorable, meowers out of my room, and plopped down on the bed and turned on youtube and this was first on my recommended list, and I immediately clicked -- I loved it. I'm so glad you are doing this series because you explain it so well. My son and I have dinner together once a week, even though we live in the same house, but we rotate what we watch on tv, and it was my turn to pick, and so I pulled up youtube and your video for shopping for supplies. He said -- direct quote: we're not watching that. Me: Yes, we are; it's my turn. I had to watch a video game last time. HIM: No, we are not. You already have enough supplies. ME: It's either that or a "My Pretty Pony" cartoon. He chose the cartoon, and then we settled on Flea Market Flip. Such is my exciting life. Love the series, Patricia -- PS: Of course I came back and watched it on the computer while I ate cheesecake dessert !!! But tonight is dinner night (ribs -- yummo) and it's his turn and I think I have to watch alien vs. predator -- ugh .........

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

A house full of kittens how cuteeeeeee, although I am sure looking after such a bunch of them is not quite as great as it sounds. Oh I laughed at your comment so much! I love that you take it in turns to choose what to watch! I can see why he wouldn't want to watch my videos, equally I can see why you wouldn't want to watch his!!! Lol. I know you implied your life is not exciting, you have made it sound like you are having a great time :-) Much love to you x

[@Sherry1946AL]

You need another TV and, perhaps, another room.

[@mettenorheim2329]

Love all the pieces you made today! You make it look so easy to make 🥰 Why don't try to cut the end of the petals of the flowers you bought- like you did in a video a while ago, making paper flowers, maybe they won't look so 'big' .... And yes, practice make perfect when it comes to fussy cutting... I was totally rubbish, but getting better 👏 I went to ikea last weekend and bought the scissors you have, so looking forward to try them in fussy cutting 🤞Stay safe x

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Fantastic idea Mette for cutting the ends of the flowers, thank you for suggesting that. Practice is definitely the thing when it comes to fussy cutting isn't it? Yay, that's awesome that you bought some of the scissors from Ikea, I love them, I really hope you find them good too. Stay safe and well x

The Definition oft insanity is to do the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result! Oh, how about inking the white flowers blue to make it look a bit less like a cauliflower...

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

What an awesome idea, it would look great in blue. Cauliflower, lol x

[@Sherry1946AL]

Yeah, and we would get an opportunity to use some of those colored stamp pads we think we have to have. This is how sick I am - if I buy one stamp pad, I have to have the entire set. For instance, because I often color my stamped images with various wet media, the only black I use is the “jet black” StazOn by Tsukineko. But for some reason, I think I have to own ALL the StazOn pads. I do often use the Timber Brown, but I have colors of StazOn pads that I have NEVER used. Not ever! Talk about insanity! I made a New Years resolution this year not to buy anything that I already own in another brand or form. I’ve actually done very well with that resolution. I’ll look at something and consider buying it, then this little voice in my head says, “Use what you have!” And, amazingly, I pass it by without purchasing it. Usually. Most of the time. Well, sometimes. No, seriously, I am buying much less than I used to buy.
