Junk Journal Tip-Ins: A Complete Guide for Beginners

[@debbiebreen6276]

Hi I'm new to your channel, I love the tag tip in attached with fabric and the envelope tip in. Sewing element on pages look great. I just love your ideas book, that's a great way to keep a record of all your creations, never thought of this idea, love it.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thanks so much, Debbie and welcome! I’m so glad you found some inspiration.

I'm a going crazy banker and needed something like JJ to give me release. But I'm brand new and love this tippin video. Perfect timing!

[@MadPaperCrush]

I'm so glad you found it! Enjoy the journey - and I know what you mean about some stress relief. Welcome!

[@seameology]

I ran across a junk journal video last Christmas day. I watched all day. Now I'm hooked!

[@sharikraft1706]

Banker too! Junk journals are my stress relief!

[@rhondahiggins5989]

I never knew those pages were called tips-ins. I always referred to them flips. Thanks awesome vidro.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thanks for watching! They are definitely flps too - the term tip-in comes from scrapbooking days! 😊

[@Lorraine24_]

Thanks for this very clear video! As a visual learner, I so appreciate this step by step tutorial!

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thank you Lorraine - your kind words mean so much to me!

Great job of explaining what tip-in. The possibilities are endness.

[@MadPaperCrush]

I agree! I love tip-ins SOO much. Thanks for watching!

[@vel0811]

I've never heard the word tipin before, but I do something similar with envelopes. Great video explanation. ~Velvet

[@sandraludwig1546]

What a great idea about the grid mat and washi tape! I never thought of it, and I usually end up putting mine on crooked. Thanks!

[@MadPaperCrush]

You are so welcome!

[@deborahramirez1138]

You could also use a bigger jump-ring on the "bird" library card for a hinge too👍😉🤗 Love your ideas Sharon ❤❤❤

[@MadPaperCrush]

Great idea! That would be a fun addition. Thanks, Deborah!

[@amybergeron5632]

Hi there! I wanted to share a crafting tip with you: when there are sticky places on the pages or tip-ins (and also with tab binding), you don't need to place any powder there. Utilize a paper towel and rub over the sticky spots (in case you don't have any more of the same washi tape to cover the first washi strips) and VIOLA! No more sticky spots. Hope this is helpful.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Thanks for the tip! I love a good "viola"!

[@clouda9]

Luv this new-to-me idea. Lots of possibilities to add surprise to junk journals and more. T♥Y Sharon.

[@MadPaperCrush]

Yes! Thanks so much for watching!

[@KweeLewis]

Love your ideas! I’m definitely going to be giving them a try. I want to share, when I am trying to tie something like your two pieces of ribbon through the eyelets at the top of the page, I put a pencil or something across the top then tie the string/ribbon through the eyelets and around the pencil. After all are tied, I slip the pencil out, leaving the loops all the same size. Thank you!

[@MadPaperCrush]

great tip! Thanks so much for sharing!

Im new to j journal. Glad to know that what ive been doing has a name. Thought i was cleverly attaching things i forgot to incl in my signatures😂 Loved the video🎉

[@MadPaperCrush]

Hahaha! I love that name! Tip-ins is just a shorter way of saying it! 🤣

[@jacquieGregor]

Still a clever idea.

These are amazing. I love the fabric washi idea. I have to much fabric from quilting. It gets me to use up some pieces. Thank you.

[@MadPaperCrush]

I'm so glad to hear it inspired you! Anything that helps with scraps is a good thing. 😉

[@joannedonovan9489]

Those are a great idea! I want to write a lot in my journal, but I could use tip-ins to add some interest! Thanks!!

Yes! Love how these add some interest.

New subscriber here. Great idea, great history and definitions. I have always called them flips. Great instructions and techniques

[@MadPaperCrush]

I think they can probably be called lots of things - but now if you hear the word "tip-in" you'll know it's the same thing!

[@chubigans60]

Thank you for sharing. I didn't know about tipins as I'm new to journaling. Try cutting aluminium fil to sharpen your pinking shears. :)

[@MadPaperCrush]

That's a great tip! Thank you!

I learned on another video that there is a hole in the top that you use to see where it is going to punch for sighting. Not sure as I don't have one yet, it's coming at Christmas however I like my tools well in advance of their arrivals is possible. lol

[@ericastannard2635]

Get ones with washers if you want a neater eyelet, don't try the smaller size, also try changing up the bottom cube as you may not have the top cube set to the correct bottom cube.

[@monac9459]

The hardest part for me is getting the initial papers all aligned. Any suggestions?

[@karenrosser]

Are your papers all the same size? If they are, use bulldog or fold back clips to hold the papers together once aligned, then use a 3 hole pamphlet stitch to see them together (or your sewing machine if it isn’t too thick)

[@MadPaperCrush]

Hi Mona! You could use paper clips or sewing clips to keep things together until you are ready to add the flip (tabs, fabric tabs and even for sewing). Those would probably work best if your paper edges are aligned on top of each other. If you need to align them side-by-side, you could use a little piece of washi tape to keep them lined up until you were ready to add your tip-in hinge or other technique. Hope that helps!

[@liviarivera9451]

What is the big metal clip at/around 31:00 called that is on the upper right of the journal?
