Hello! I'm new here. And I appreciate how you teach!!! It's a pleasure to learn from you. Sorry to say something negative, but I tried to learn from a few others before finding you and just couldn't tolerate the length of time it took them to get to the point. One teacher actually took 11 minutes before starting the project. But enough of that! I'm just so glad I found you!!! Thanks so much for the lessons!

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked the video and found it helpful. I appreciate you watching and commenting ❤️❤️❤️

When I made my first journal I followed one of your videos that you demonstrated step by step and it was so helpful. This is also excellent as well! I’m always fascinated of the care you take showing all the details and explaining them. I agree with everyone these are beautiful!!

[@Saacibo]

Oh,Deborah! I'm so glad you think my tutorials were helpful. I'm very happy to know that. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment! I really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️

[@melody_tune991simms]

That looks incredible. So beautiful, you made it look so easy. The stitching takes it to another level. Just wonderful 😊

[@Saacibo]

Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it ❤️

[@junerobbins6871]

Love these. I really like the book page pieces the best. I havent made any master boards yet. I was going through some life stresses and have temporarily lost my mojo. I'm finally feeling creative again. I cant describe how it feels to have your creativity on the blink. I hadn't lost my mind set. I just felt dry. Im feeling better now and starting to create again and work on my journals and ephemera. I also draw and scetch. I can copy almost anything just looking at the orriginal. I have to be sure that I Ichange it enough to avoid copyright infringement !!! I have worked with Mod Podge and napkins. I also save the 2nd and 3rd layers, as there are some tilhings that they can be used for. I don't mind doing the napkin thing. I feel that it's a good addition to the texture of the cover.

[@janicem4382]

A beautiful journal, I love your teaching manner.

[@tinmouse1083]

I love your content. I craft along with you. Often stitching,. Not only are your videos inspiring, they have a lovely ASMR quality. Thank you ❤

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed crafting along. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I'm very happy to know that my videos have ASMR quality, too. I enjoy hearing those sound, when other people craft, too. 😊❤️

[@dustyacres]

Thank you for sharing this just when I needed to make this type of cover.😊

[@Saacibo]

You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful ❤️

[@luv2kraft866]

Loved what you did with your master board. As a beginner, I have been watching videos on how to make journals, by far the most informative video has been your video. I want to thank you for all that you do, I notice the time you take to explain in detail and not take it for granted that everyone is knowledgable in this area. My sincere gratude to you for sharing your expertise with us, The art work that you do is splendid ! I have enjoyed your videos so very much. You now have a new subbie! Looking forward to watching all that you have listed.

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! I'm so glad you found the information helpful. I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing ❤️❤️❤️

[@karenlambert4852]

Thanks for sharing another wonderful and beautiful project Dragana. Your tutorials are so helpful. Now I will add 'learning to master' Master Boards, 😊to my list! My list is growing. Enjoy your day! ❤

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much Karen! I love creating master boards! It's a lot of fun. My list of things to do and videos to make is growing, too. I try not to pressure myself too much, so I'm doing one thing at a time no matter how long it takes. ❤️😊

[@janasher4940]

Thank you for showing how to do this. I am in the process of creating my journal and this is so helpful. Blessings.

[@Saacibo]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@smply4you]

Great tutorial and the papers are stunning ❤

[@Saacibo]

Thanks so much 😊❤️

[@ZealousZest]

This is awesome!!!! I've been enjoying watching / rewatching lots of your videos, Dragana!!! You are so good and entertaining!! And loved the SIZZIX WORKOUT!! LOL!! I have a feeling your channel will get even more popular very soon!!! I'm going to keep passing the word on, too!!!!!! Your fan in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania == Lori

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much Lori!!! I’m really glad you enjoy my videos! Oh, Sizzix keeps me in shape 😂😂😂

[@SteffiCullen]

You made another wonderful journal 💛💛💛

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much Steffi! I'm glad you like it ❤️😊

[@JournalBreezeYT]

I like the white napkin layer over the top and will try it. Maybe some of the buckling could be avoided if the napkin was applied with the varnish instead of glue? Thank you for sharing your methods!

[@Saacibo]

You’re very welcome! I agree with you, varnish gives better results than glue invthis case 😊❤️

[@heatherparry3159]

Great tutorial, thanks so much!

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching 😊❤️

[@TammyO.Garner]

What type of sewing machine do you use for sewing your journal covers? Is it dedicated for only sewing journals? Your videos are always so soothing to listen to as well as learn from. Love them all!

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much! I use Brother st371hd Strong and Tough. I use it for almost everything. I don’t have a dedicated machine for covers only. I also have a very old Bagat machine that is semi industrial. Great for leather and jeans 😊

[@TammyO.Garner]

I happen to have an old Brother sewing machine (over 40 years old) stored away that maybe I should take another look at for using for journals!! You're the best! Keep doing what you are doing! Many Thanks!

Hi Dragana, I just watched this tutorial. The video is as always very professional, and thanks to your long experience, full of tips and tricks useful for achieving the best result. It's a pleasure to watch them because I always find useful information to improve my skills. Thanks Dragana you are fantastic, I hope you will make more collage master boards videos, I find them very inspiring and by watching you I can improve my sensitivity in color and pattern combinations. Two questions, if I may: can I use decoupage varnish for the finishing varnish? even the water one? I don't have a sizzix, if the cover becomes wavy, due to the collage, can I iron it to proceed faster? or do you think it comes off? thank you very much for your valuable advice, your clear, relaxed, precise communication, your skill in teaching, really exhaustive and stimulating at the same time, and... a teacher and an artist tell you, so I really know the skills needed to do what you do; and you do it so well. Good day, I send you positivity, beauty and good energy.💗🌺

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much for your kind words Alessandra! I really appreciate it. To answer your question regarding varnish, I see no problem using decoupage varnish, it's probably the same as I used, only called different in different countries. Mine was water based, looked like watered down milk and dried relatively fast. Your second question, you don't need sizzix to flatten it. Leaving under heavy books overnight or for a few days should work just as well. I wouldn't recommend using iron, because it might melt the varnish or the glue. Hope this helps 😊❤️

[@alessandrapenitenti1259]

@@Saacibo absolutley 😊 thank you so much for the answer. Love

[@lynned.5491]

QUESTION: Could I use two-sided tape to adhere the various papers to the cover instead of using glue? Would that help the cover to not get bubbles and warping? I love the master boards and I'm going to make some for my covers. Thank you for sharing.

[@Saacibo]

I haven’t tried doing it that way but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I am all for trying and experimenting so if you do it like that, please share if you don’t mind. I’m curious 😊❤️

[@denorahmicale5581]

Your master boards are absolutely beautiful. Mine are always looking a bit (can’t even give it a word)….

[@Saacibo]

Oh Denorah, thank you so much! I'm glad you like them. Mine are not all good, a lot ended up in recycling bin😆. I only show the better ones in the video. So, I think the more we practice the better we get. Don't give up...❤️❤️❤️

[@Marina-te3ez]

Your master boards are wonderful. Have you got a video where you share your process ? I try, I try but mine are.... Ugly!

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like them. I've done a video where I shared my process a while ago. You're welcome to check it out. I share a some tips in it on how to break the process into a few steps to make it easier. I hope I'll do another video soon on that topic, until then here's the old one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIandpVrituBedE

[@sandrahickey3593]

Great idea, a long video, but stuck it out to the end.

[@Saacibo]

I'm glad you liked the idea. Well done watching it until the end. Thank you so much ❤️😊
