Making Clusters Inspired by Laurette Chandler

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Thank you so much for sharing my work and mentioning me on your channel as your inspiration. I lightly glued the clusters to a large coffee dyed piece of paper as I went then did two rows of stitching to secure them down, then ripped them into individual cluster from there. I used two colors of paper doilies as well. I enjoyed watching you make yours, they are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing my work! Laurette 🌸🤗🌸

[@thatdayintimebysue3551]

Laurette, your work is beautiful. I hope that you will post some of it on KZbin soon! 😊

Clusters are fun! It was thoughtful of you to showcase her work! I missed what you said the paper was.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

The papers are from my Florentine bg paper x

[@lauravasquez169]

I love clusters! It is like a learning exercise on how not to overthink things. And of course a great way to use up your scraps. ❤

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Well I am finally fully converted to also loving clusters! They are so fun to make and so handy to use x

[@thatdayintimebysue3551]

Thanks so much, Tina, for sharing Laurette’s gorgeous work! She is such a sweetheart and an incredible crafter. For your viewers, Laurette has an Etsy shop where you can find her ephemera. It is www.etsy.com/shop/AJeweldDesign. Her daughter sells digitals and Laurette’s ephemera is under Vintage Paper Girl in the shop! Hope you all will go check out the shop! Thanks, Tina! ❤️

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Sheila, glad you found them. Have fun x

[@carolynboykin-fyelifeinreview]

thanks Sheila for saying which of the pintables they are. I was looking and I couldn't find the exact ones so now I've purchased 3 or 4 others because they're all beautiful thanks for making them Tina, yes we don't mind (if you remember) you telling which of your kits these are from. Thanks Laurette for sharing.

[@kcueva313]

Oh I love these clusters super cute TFS :)

[@ajewelddesign]

I absolutely love Laurette's Clusters (I've seen them in person) and it tickled me pink to watch her talent inspire someone else to create their version of the clusters.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

She is super talented isn’t she? X

[@tuthillg]

SO cute and great mass making idea! TFS the inspiration, Tina!

[@frazzledrobin5175]

Oh so pretty both of you! And I like looking at pretty things and you always hit the mark. I love Victorian so lace and clutter are a big part of my life ;- ) Thank you and Laurette! HINT: if you put lace curtains up to your windows you can't see the dirt so bad! Spreads out the misery of doing widows.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

[@kandiboyer]

WOW, Laurette does beautiful work! Great job on recreating them--as always yours came out beautiful too!

[@aprilcarter749]

Loving the clusters that you received and the all ones you made using the ladies. I'll be glad when I can use my printer to purchase your gorgeous papers. Thanks again for showing how to do those clusters, if I quit overthinking the process they should turn out really good!!

[@lauragaudry3402]

Wonderful! I love how you are so supportive of other crafters Tina. Somehow that gives me confidence to try other things. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you Laura. It’s great to try other things, there are no rules in crafting, just as long as you are enjoying what you are doing x

She should have an Etsy shop and sell the clusters as a digi! 🥰

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes she should, I think maybe she has now, as I read in a previous comment x

Good day. Always enjoy your creativity. I need to pull out my glue gun. Sometimes a quick stick down is what helps keep the process going. Getting cool here in New York and our leaves are turning beautiful colors. Have a great day.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes, I love how quickly you can get things done using a glue gun. Don’t you just love the colours of autumn? X

Love these clusters Tina. I've been making quite a lot at the moment and love doing them. It gives a different appearance using the normal white doilies instead of coffee dyed.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes the white doilies just bring a completely different look don’t they? X

you know what I think...it is very lovely and flattering to copy another's work, and you have certainly given heaps of Kudos, to your friends skill, but your problem of sewing, gluing or any other difference is a mute point, because, you each have your own way of doing things, so credit where it is due, your brilliant, in your own right, do not stress about doing the same, because it will not look the same no matter...lol xxx

New to Junk journaling so pls excuse the question as I’m sure it’s been answered. Is the rule of thumb to print the ephemera on card stock and printable papers for the signatures on copy paper?

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Welcome to my channel and your newfound hobby! You couldn’t have picked a more fun pastime 🤗. Honestly it really doesn’t matter what you use, there are no rights or wrongs, I often tend to use exactly as you said, but if depends on the journal and if you don’t have access to thicker card, then paper works fine too xxx

[@vikingwoman3372]

i cant get the bling with the black background in norway-the one you are using-would you mind putting some in your etsy shop-or let me buy some of you? i know i should not been asking this ,but i love it ,its just gorgeous and fits with almost anything..

Very pretty! She might have Glued them to hold them together and then sewed them to burlap fabric with white thread? I can't speak for her, but on the video that's what it looks like to me. Some people are using Wilton bottles for fabric tack. What do you think about that ?
