Squirrel 1; ephemera with 12” x 12” Tim Holtz 16-square double-sided cardstock.

This is a long video where I show some of the different ways you can use the 3” x 3”, 16-section Tim Holtz double-sided pattern cardstock. This also can be created using any 12” x 12” double sided pattern paper or solid cardstock, as it’s just broken into rows and sections of 3” squares. Thank you for watching, I hope it gives you some useful ideas and happy creating.

[@WendyThompson]

Well, I’m well and truly addicted to your channel. I should be sleeping right now but nooooooo, I’m binge watching you craft and am tempted to get up and make these little projects! You are amazing! Loving the flips, flaps and folds series and the scrap busters. You rock!

Thank you very much Wendy, but I promise, the videos aren’t going away. Get some rest! Sleep well sweet lady 😊

Thank you, Cori, I’m rapidly filling my cigar box with little finished pieces, so they can go in my junky journal. I truly enjoy learning how to make these little goodies from you. An excellent instructor, indeed. Have a wonderful Easter weekend. Hubby and I get to watch the 3 and 13mo. old enjoy pagan Easter bunny fun.

[@toniacosstick5335]

[@kathleenhansenownerofkamah9064]

I love the things you make from strips like the little clusters. I already have taken your strip tags as my preferred method too, it just makes sense to me. I try to work out why I like or dislike everything, and I think it is the straight edges and symmetry/asymmetry of your work that I admire. I’m still very new ( started in January ) to this world of paper, so I need to learn lots more. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Kathleen. The true beauty of this hobby is that it’s not spendy to learn and figure out what look and styles appeal to you. Have fun and I hope you enjoy the projects 😊

I'm convinced that scrapbook paper breeds when we're not looking. I'm glad you enjoyed these little projects. Quick things to do when a little bit of time is available are always fun.

[@406annie]

Thanks for even more ideas, Cori. I often sew two or three of these individual squares together with a vertical muslin spine(s) and add paper to make a tiny booklet. I love all the pockets you’ve added. Wonderful ideas here!

[@CoriDahmen]

Thank you Annie. I also love sewing fabric/Muslim spines. I need to do that more often!

[@406annie]

@Simply Sandy In general, the goal of an idea book is to have a single reference point for the multitude of ideas we find on YT, Pinterest, and elsewhere because it’s easy to forget as we learn new techniques. Then you can refresh your memory and incorporate as many as you like into your current project/s. But there’s no wrong way to do junk journaling, so if you want to journal in your idea book, you can! 👍😊

[@MsPixieD]

So many paper trimmers in this episode, including the first one shown that I'd never seen before! Cori, would you consider doing an episode on them? Which works best, do you need more than one kind, etc? I only have a memory keepers kind with the tiny replaceable blade that I don't know how to replace/where to get the part, and it makes ragged edges on my cuts, so I only use it for the score board. Would love to have an affordable paper trimmer, as the old-fashioned guillotine kind that actually works is way too expensive, plus no room for something like that! Would love to see a video with recommendations ❤️❤️❤️ Can I also ask, what kind of circle punch do you have? I tried googling them, and they are so expensive I want to make sure I get a good one. Recommendations? Thank you ❤️

[@CoriDahmen]

That is a loaded question! There are so many types and styles of paper trimmers, in a huge price range. I've been asked to do a video about my non-consumable "must-haves" and a trimmer or two falls into that category. Lord knows, I've tried them all in the last 25 years. I'll add that to my video list :)
