Mini Hybrid Journal Part 4 ~ Construction of Mini Folio # 2

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Hello, wonderful readers! This is the 4th video in the series and today I am taking the next step in creating the Mini Hybrid Journal by constructing the second of the 2 folios that will make up the ‘hybrid’ part of the journal. I have put a link to the first folio below as well as a downloadable recipe containing all the measurements and scoring for each piece of the folio.

What is a Hybrid Journal – that basically means it has a couple of folios and then some regular pages in the middle. I am also making my first Medori-style feature to hold those middle pages together! There will be a total of 9 posts and videos – I hope that you will follow along with me as I work my way thru!

Hello, wonderful readers! This is the 2nd video in the series and today I am taking the next step in creating the Mini Hybrid Journal by constructing the first of the 2 folios that will make up the ‘hybrid’ part of the journal. The first one is the more straight forward of the two folios and there is a downloadable ‘recipe’ as well as a video to follow.

Hello, wonderful readers! Today I am embarking on a project that will be a gift for a very dear friend who is celebrating a milestone birthday. By the time you read this I will already have given it to her so there’s no problem with spoiling the surprise.

Funky Folds Hop ! ~ August 2026

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Welcome to the Funky Folds Hop ~ a community for like minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds and to share our ideas. Funky actually means “modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way” so hang onto your hats and see what the talented artisans have to offer 🙂

We don’t have a specific theme ” anything goes” it is all about the fold!! So today I am offering a “tunnel card”, that is what I am calling it anyway ~ I saw one of those fb shorts that lasted for about 30 secs which did not give any measurements but just the assembly – so in my video I work thru the steps, make a few errors and share how I work thru them!!!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Well this one got away from me – Notes of Nature Stamp Set and Dies retired just a few days ago and I had this card all ready to share with you, but I am going to do so anyway because if you have this set in your stash it will work for you alternatively another set will work equally as well – it is really all about the fold!!!!

What to do with Artist Trading Cards

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Earlier this year I tripped across the concept of Artist Trading Cards, these are small pieces of art that measures 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 and can be made from various materials, paper, card, ribbon, embellishments exactly the products that Stampin’ UP! offer. They are meant to be swapped, however it struck me that they would make perfect center pieces for a card and that is what I share today – oh and there is a short video on how the trading card came together!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Over the next few weeks I shall be sharing some cards featuring the 2022 – 2024 In-colors. These will be retiring at the end of April, but they are likely to sell out long before that time, so if you would like to stock up on ink refills and card …… then this is the time to place your order!

Today’s card features Starry Sky, a rich blue which I have paired with Balmy Blue and the Everyday Details Stamp Set giving a bit of a shabby chic vibe going on!!
