Paper Bag Clusters

[@cindy77277]

Good morning my dear friend, I woke this morning to the sound of heavy rain hitting my bedroom window and it’s a very dreary, gloomy day. I am just glad that I do not have to go out today. This is going to be another one of your amazing journals. You will never know how I wish it was easy to ship to Canada. But it is what it is. I just love your journals. I hope you have a great day. May God bless you and your family always. Take care my dear friend and I will see you in the next video. Your friend Cindy, from a small town in Northern Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you Cindy. Enjoy your warm dry day at home. Spring is coming. Hugs, Amy❤️

[@celesteberrick1391]

Collecting is half of the fun junk journaling. This is turning out beautiful.

[@craftycat7212]

Yes indeed. Thank you.💕Amy

[@bette-annflood835]

Yayyyy. I found my scissors in the garbage bag today. Lol. 😂😂😂😂😂😊😮

[@craftycat7212]

😂I totally get it. Hugs, Amy💕

[@junellancalade1879]

Good morning Amy! Love these clusters and the new digital. Very cool. Right up my alley! Hope the snow stops soon and warmer sunny days come your way soon! Hope you have a wonderful day! 💞💕Hugs!!

[@craftycat7212]

Me too! Thank you Junell. I hope you have a fantastic day. Hugs, Amy❤️

[@bette-annflood835]

Tip on sewing. If you can lower the feed dogs you can move the cluster around under needle much easier. Love how these are turning out. And I love the kit as you know already. 😊❤

[@bette-annflood835]

Man. I had the tim holtz medium size scissors. My favorite they cut to the tip every time. But somehow they have been missing for action. So sad. I'm afraid they fell into a garbage bag or something. Because I've searched high and low. I do reccomend them highly. They are wonderful. The large ones keep coming unscrewed. Not fond of those. But I guess I'll be getting another pair of my smaller ones. 😢😢😢😢

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you Bette-ann I will se if I can figure that out. Hugs, Amy😁

[@dreamcre8inspire]

[@maggiequilts]

Hi Amy, the clusters are fabulous, I love them all! Sorry about your snow! Here in southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 it’s been a fabulous winter, We have all time records, 🥳Today is 55 F and my daffodils are up about 6 inches! Totally unreal! But I’m thrilled about it, Guess I will get busy with my paper and glue😊 , and BTW. I love your new kit the grunge is fabulous and a big thanks for all you do, Hugs. Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

[@craftycat7212]

[@megantorri1711]

Great clusters, a fun way to use those little scraps of things you don't want to part with.❤

[@craftycat7212]

So true! Thank you!😘😘😘

[@sbowenful]

Love the grunge with a little nature added!❤

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you.🙏💕Amy

[@billiejoethomason6075]

I love the grungy stuff. So I like these paper bag clusters. But like you said it’s the idea for the clusters & can be adapted to anything. From shabby chic to steampunk. Just use different papers & colors. 👍💕 BTW if your thread cutter thingie doesn’t come, check at JoAnns or Hobby Lobby in their sewing section. Both my stores carry the kind like Nancy has.

[@craftycat7212]

Great! Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kindness. Hugs and blessings, Amy💕

[@heidi4650]

Hi Amy, These clusters came out really cool looking. Thank you for sharing them and all you videos with us!!!

[@craftycat7212]

You are so welcome. Thank you for joining me. Hugs, Amy❤️

[@mimsie732]

I love the way all your grungy papers work together. You have inspired me to make a grunge journal for myself. Thanks for all your hard work creating these digitals. Xx

[@craftycat7212]

Yay! Thank you so much. Enjoy creating. Hugs, Amy💕

[@janetstubbington583]

Amy, I am loving all the new digitals. These clusters are great - they'll keep me busy for a day or two. Thanks.

[@craftycat7212]

Glad you like them! Thank you and enjoy.💕Amy

[@craftycat7212]

Yay, thank you!🙏❤️

[@2281CozyBrickCape]

Love the clusters, I haven’t done it for a while. We have the Ax Throwing here, too! I haven’t done it, but it sounds fun. I’m glad you got some time with your family. I know, I crave that, too. I love the Grungy pictures! Hugs, my friend!❤️

[@craftycat7212]

Love the grungy looking old stuff. Utah is cold and snowy. Ready for sunshine.

[@craftycat7212]

Me too! Thank you so much. Snowing here again today. Stay warm and craft on.😁❤️Amy

[@CarolGefre]

Hi Amy! Loving these grungy clusters!! Your stitching does look like a flower. I just bought the kit. I think I have all the grungy ones now! Waiting on ink so I can get started. Gives me time to cut out everything which I must say is not my most favorite thing...ha Glad you're into grungy right now because I'm loving it!! I have always been super grungy making vintage looking super grungy looking fabric things that look like they've been buried forever. I'm always drawn to your grungy videos!!

[@craftycat7212]

Yay! Thank you so much.💕Amy

[@WoodlandInspired]

Good morning Amy💕 So very cool, you are on a another level 🎨 Love the digitals, and would be perfect for steampunk or even Halloween journals. Hope you get some sunshine today, take good care. 🤗Big hugs

[@craftycat7212]

[@craftycat7212]

[@SeaHorseRanchGirl]

Bought the kit; the couples and the frames are fab. Inspires me to make a small folio or something bigger than a topper😆 Thanks for the cool kits and the inspiration.

[@ozjan7927]

Love them darlin! I must do some! LOVE the new kit too! 😊💚🇦🇺xxx

[@craftycat7212]

Thanks so much!🙏💕Amy

[@littleskipperdaycare]

I'm glad you did these. I wanted to make some of these and now I will. Thank you

[@craftycat7212]

Yay! You are so welcome. Thank you, Amy💕

[@nanmau6234]

Great video Amy, making this kind of stuff is my fave. Growing up near Boston I definitely had an accent😁, Axe throwing sounds like fun 💕

[@craftycat7212]

Yes I bet you do. Thank you Nan. She really enjoyed ax throwing.😁Amy

[@annetteshangreaux3496]

II think you did an awesome job on the stitching. That looks really cool.

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you so much!🙏💕

[@lyndameredith3656]

Very cute ❣️Thank you for sharing ❣️

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you for watching. Hugs, Amy💕

[@elainemartinez1778]

Another idea for stitching is to go back and forth as you move along...⚡

[@craftycat7212]

Yes I do that on my tags and it works great. Thank you, Amy💕

[@tamraandrews7653]

Fun clusters!

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you❤️

[@hazeljanehopkins5652]

Lovely idea, I have to rationalise my junk collection somehow 😃

[@craftycat7212]

Yeah, hard to do😂 Thank you, Amy❤️

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Wonderful clusters ❤

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you🙏💕Amy

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you❤️

[@cindythoms7246]

These are awesome, they look fun to make!

[@craftycat7212]

They really are. Thank you.🙏❤️Amy

[@aprilwicker6611]

I like this cluster idea. Would like to make some bigger AND smaller. I have been sewing too long to worry about anything bigger than a quarter - and they could be hand sewn, also. I made some a long time ago that incorporated candy wrappers, but that would be way too shiny for this project!

[@craftycat7212]

Clusters are so fun. Thank you April. Enjoy creating! Hugs, Amy💕

[@mitzieat307junkjournals4]

I agree about the KZbin requirements. Unless you’re in certain niches you’re doomed. I really enjoy doing this so I continue making videos. But it would be nice to make this a jobby job. Fabulous new kit, love it!! I agree nothing is perfect. It’s all perfectly imperfect. Wonderful project today. I’ll have to give it a go. 💕🥰💕sending love and hugs!

[@craftycat7212]

Thank you Mitzie. It really is difficult to keep your videos growing. So true. Have a great day. Love ya, Amy💕

[@barbaraocana5924]

[@evelyndavis5999]

I have a question for anyone who can answer it why does my journal turn grayish when I put the stain on it with a baby wipe or paper towel it does it all the time does anyone else have this problem is it the type of stain or glue ? I have tried mod podge ,school glue, etc .

[@craftycat7212]

If you are using walnut stain distress oxide it turns a bit gray when it gets wet. That’s the only thing I can think of that would cause that.🤷‍♀️❤️

[@nancypyter1511]

Love these clusters Amy! Did you happen to order that thread cutter from Clover? Oh and I love that new grungy kit. Gonna have to put that on the list! Hugs!🥰

[@craftycat7212]
