Loving your ideas - thank you for sharing them. I also enjoy listening to your quiet voice when explaining your work. :)

[@lindaspaperworks]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment. I hope you enjoy using the ideas in your work. Happy new year.

[@donnabryson7002]

Thanks for your ideas I’m just a beginner at junk journaling.

[@lindaspaperworks]

Hi Donna. How exciting that you’re getting started in this wonderful craft. Just remember there are no rules and if you don’t like something you can change it till you do. (Or rip the page out and replace it, which I’ve done. Haha). Thank you for watching and for your comment. I hope you have a ton of fun as you get into making your own journals. I’ll be glad to answer your questions, if you have any, or find an answer if I don’t know.

[@queenpangaea3325]

Thank you, this is just what I was looking for. I like the texture and color of the cardboard, it's a great neutral for other colors.

[@lindaspaperworks]

So glad you found it helpful. It is a great thing to work with for texture and that something unusual, too.

Hi, Linda. This is the first video of yours KZbin has offered me, and I love it. Your ideas are creative and very pretty. I love cardboard of all types. I save every chipboard box (cut off flaps) and I hate to throw away the shipping boxes. One tip I can offer, and you may already know it, is to lightly spray one side of the corregation (I tend to do the side with store printing) and the top paper peels off pretty easily. I like some patches left on the exposed ribs so it's ok with me if not everything comes off perfectly. Thanks so much - I am subscribing right now. Stay safe and have a great autumn. Diane

[@lindaspaperworks]

Hi Diane, I’m so happy to have you join. Thanks for that tip. We just had a bit of discussion about spraying with water in the comments. It’s great to have your confirmation that it works. I hadn’t actually tried it myself. And that’s a good point to take off the side with printing on it. Thanks for your good wishes and the same back to you.

[@cindyhenry1410]

Thank you! I was going to ask about tips on getting the surface to peel off since I struggle with that 😮

[@kari-annerobinson8514]

New here, and to junk journals. I haven’t even made one yet, but enjoy watching the process on videos. Thank-you for sharing this tip on using corrugated cardboard, I will add to the ideas I’m collecting. I’m glad I found you.

[@lindaspaperworks]

Welcome. I hope you will jump right in and start a journal. Just remember there are no mistakes and no rules in junk journaling. The main thing is to have fun being creative. You will know when it’s time to start. Glad you’re here.

[@lindaspaperworks]

Thank you so much, Rhonda. I appreciate your feedback. I really liked the way the tabs turned out. I noticed your use of cardboard in your haberdashery folder piece. I thought that was a clever way to keep the pins and needles safely away from fingers. The use of the brad was perfect. Thanks for coming by and watching the video.

[@hollyhumbyrd3362]

I love it! Marvellous ideas! I have 2 boxes of box sides and end flaps that I have already stripped. Not stripped naked....I like the kind of tattered, shredded look of it stripped randomly, like you did on your journal cover. I keep meaning to make a journal cover, but I never seem to get around to it! I especially like the pieces that you sewed!

[@lindaspaperworks]

Thank you, Holly. I'm glad you found ideas you like from the video. It sounds like you have plenty of materials to have some fun with cardboard. I like that tattered look, too. I made the cover but haven't made a journal for it yet. I know what you mean about not getting around to it. Thanks so much for watching.

Peeled corrugated cardboard can be inked over completely and then stamped onto the back of tags/cards or on the page itself for lines to write on. Bits can be glued to an embellishment bottom in place of foam dots to create height. TFS!

I've tried peeling the cardboard back off and just can't get 'er done. Do you have any tips?

[@lindaspaperworks]

Sorry you're having trouble with your cardboard, Debbie. It seems to me that some cardboard is glued better than others so is harder to separate. Also, ridges that are closer together (smaller) seem to make it more difficult to separate. You might try spraying the side you're trying to remove lightly with water. I'm wondering if spraying it and then microwaving it for a few seconds would loosen it up. Or maybe steaming it like people used to do to open envelopes. I've also heard that envelopes that are stuck together (unused ones) can be opened by running a hot iron over them. I wonder if that would loosen the glue on the cardboard? Sometimes it seems like parts will peel off and other spots on the same cardboard are stubborn. I usually just go with it in that case and use the "ragged" look. If all else fails, try another piece of cardboard. I haven't tested these tips yet, but I hope that one of them will work for you. Please, let me know if you have success and what worked. Best wishes for success and thanks for watching.

[@lizzyanthus1]

@@lindaspaperworks I also heard that wetting the cardboard a bit will help to seperate the layers. I haven't tried it either but will now, I think, just to see what happens. I kind of like the tattered look as well. Oh and I love your idea of sewing the pieces of the corrugated part down the middle! I have to try that soon! I love working with cardboard! Thanks for sharing!

[@lindaspaperworks]

@@lizzyanthus1 Hi Lizzy, thanks for your comment. Let me know how it goes. I’m going to try it, too, but haven’t had a chance yet. Glad you liked the sewing idea. Have fun with it. Thanks for watching.

Use a different box. I have been stripping the paper off coregated boxes for a long time. Try them all before recycling, and you will find some that work really well.
