As requested by viewers I have tried to find and link all the items I could that I used in this tutorial. Enjoy!
Supplies and Tools I used in this video:
I purchased the paper pads from my local PopShelf store. Unfortunately, it is not easily found anywhere online. You can try to find them by searching “Pink Pasilee” “Lucky Us” collection. I did see someone selling it on Etsy. Or if you have a Popshelf store near you maybe you can find it there like I did!
The heart pens are by American Crafts and I found those at Ross. I could not find them online to link.

Thank you! Yay! So glad to have you! 💕
Books are great. I love the bows. I can't handle the music at the end.
Got it! Thanks for letting me know about your preferences regarding the music. While the music at the end may not be your cup of tea, I'm glad we can still share a love for the mini books and the bows. Thanks again for the input and for watching! 💕
Hi Erika. Beautiful altered mini Composition books. Love all the pretty papers. TYFSing your wonderful tutorial. Hope you have a Fun Friday & wonderful weekend
🌝💕💗
Hi Donna! Thank you so much! I will be sharing more fun tutorials soon! Have a blessed day! 💗💗💗
@@Todaywitherikafay Thanks Erika.
🌝💕💗
6/8/24: To jazz mine up, I print out pictures I like from Pinterest, like old magazine covers of celebrities from back in the day (Vanity Fair, In-Style, Vogue, Bazaar, and even Playboy! - for my guy friends who like that stuff, LOL!), and some current celebrities too. They actually wind up looking like mini magazines when done and they're definitely a conversation piece! I've even used personalized pictures of people I know (singles, couples, kids, family photos w/the dog, etc.) that I download in my computer and print out. And for kids, I print their favorite cartoon characters (Disney), or singing person/group, etc. (also from Pinterest). I size and cut them at 4.4" (height) by 3.15 (width) and glue them to the front cover w/2-sided tape around the edges of the pic and then Art Glitter glue all around it and in the middle. (We know how important it is to glue them down tight.) I then glue decorative papers to the back cover of the book and inside covers with the same method.
I love your theme and the technique you used. They all look so pretty. I especially love the die-cut bow with the holes in it. The only thing I'd do different is, I'd butt up the decorative paper to the black stripped spine on the front cover and then add a strip of bling in between the black strip and decorative paper from top to bottom to give it some pop! I have two rolls of it in black and white bling that I got from Amazon, and I use them religiously. So, from one crafter to another, it's an idea I thought I'd share, and no matter which way we doll them up, they come out looking SO nice. Thanks for sharing yours. It was fun to watch! ❤
Well I love everything you shared! It sounds like you make some pretty awesome ones!💗💗 and yes I agree making the spine pretty makes a huge difference! I do sometimes and other times I don’t. But I love me some bling so I love that idea too! Thanks for the suggestions and sharing your ideas! I appreciate the feedback and the awesome comment! I’m on a printing kick right now so I need to make some with printed images soon! 😍
This is adorable ☺️ Love the bloopers too 😂 I got some of the ephemera and stickers from Pop Shelf too but didn’t see the paper back in February. I need to shop there more often. Nice tutorial 🩷🩷

New crafter here, l saw where you said you got your supplies from a place called PopShelf. Never heard of it until now. So l looked it up and San Antonio residents are in luck. There is 1 here on 1000 Oaks. Looks like a Ross, Tuesday Morning store. Which are my favorites. Love these covers, they are really great. I need to watch video now. Thx
So cute!!!😊
Thank you! 😊
Wow you are super creative
Thank you! So glad you stopped by! Let's keep the creative energy flowing! 😃

Hi Charis, Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked it! I’m thrilled to have you as a new subbie! 💕😊
I have searched and searched for that first paper pad and cannot find it 😭 it’s beautiful and so are your notebooks!! 💕
Oh no! You’re right! I just searched to and I can’t find it anywhere online either. The second pad I did see some places had that. I found them at a PopShelf store right after the new year. Maybe if you have one of those near you? Maybe you’ll get lucky and find them! Good luck!
these are darling tfs
Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked it! 💕
I'm a new subscriber ❤. Love these little notebooks. TSMFS
Yay! Thanks for subbing and joining my journey here on UA-cam! 💕 I’m so glad you like it!
❤I loved your notebooks. Thanks for the tutorial.
Do you have a video where you show how you cut the back off buttons?
I would really appreciate learning how to do it. 👍🏼😤
Thank you Isabel! 💕 I’m so glad you liked it! Not yet but I can totally make you one! I’ve made a note and will have one coming soon! Thanks for the suggestion! 😃
you really don't need a video for that. I do this alot just using a pair of pliers or wire cutters I got from amazon
What heart bow die is that? Is that die cut still available
I don’t remember the company I got it from because I bought about a year ago and threw out the package. I tried to search for it but couldn’t find it! I wish! If I do end up finding it I’ll let you know!
Very cute!!! Please put links to all of the products you use in your videos.
Thank you so much Leslie! That’s a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion. I will work on that! 💕
I updated the description and put the links to the supplies and tools I used in this video!
Loved this project, you did a great job decorating the mini notebooks. I noticed you used the My Sweet Petunia glue press, how do you like it?
Thanks so much! I do like it! I ordered another for my mom for Christmas. So, I’ll actually be doing an unboxing video and a review of the glue press very soon. So I’ll share in more detail my thoughts.

Those are cute. Thanks for the tutorial. Where did you get the quarter rounder?
Aww thanks! I’m happy you liked it. The corner rounder is from Creative Memories - it’s actually from the early 2000’s! Back when I was a creative memories consultant for scrapbooking. I honestly don’t even know if they still sell them. 😄
Ya!!!!!!!!💝💝💝💕💘💕💞💌
❤
These are soooo cute. Whereever did you find that heart bow die, love it.
Thank you! 😊 Oh my goodness! I honestly can’t remember I purchased it last year and I no longer have the packaging. Wish I could tell you…I googled also and can’t find it anywhere!
Yeah, I tried looking for it too, no luck. I do think any other die will to the trick.@@Todaywitherikafay
Ur notebooks r so cute. I did find the die YAY but can I ask what’s the name of the paper pads ur using
Thank you!!! And yay I’m glad you found it! The paper I’m using is from “pink paislee” and the collection is “lucky me” I share the line in my craft haul video I picked up from PopShelf!
@@Todaywitherikafaythe first pad u show in the video is that “pink paislee” to?
Would you please share the name of the die bow set ? TiA
@@stevecampbell756 I searched and searched! I couldn't find It online anywhere!
@@craftystamper2688 ....what is the name of the die that you found ?
So cute! What brand is the bow maker dies?
Thank you so much! Aww I wish I could tell you…I bought them last year and I no longer have the package. So I’m not sure 🤔 someone else asked me that too. I did a search and couldn’t find them anywhere. If I find out I’ll reply again!
Please show the links for the glue gun - really like it. I cover these little note books, but really love your designs - so cute!😊😊😊😊😊😊

Never seen that type of glue gun. Is it hot glue? What’s the name of it? What type of glue does it use?
Hi Norma! It’s not a hot glue gun. They actually call it a glue press. You can watch my unboxing and review video here if you’d like to learn more! ua-cam.com/video/HxV5jX42Wwo/v-deo.htmlsi=nK6w0So-G5H4j41S
Hi I’m new here I enjoyed your video .. did a full watch and I just hit your bell 🛎️ 22:31 👍✌️💚
Well you’re the BEST! I appreciate you! Welcome to my channel! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and subbing! 💕
What tool did you use to get the little dies out? It looked like some sort of brush. Thanks!
It’s the “Tool 'N One” Die Cutting Tool by Spellbinders. It makes the die cut life so much easier 😄 It has a Brush Tip so you can easily clean the tiniest paper bits from etched dies.
And the other side has a straight and angled piercing tip that helps you poke out the die and clean out the chads left in dies, separate backing from adhesives or paper pierce designs. I highly recommend a tool like this if you do a lot of die cutting! But beware the pointy side is sharp haha I have poked myself a few times and it hurts! 🤣
Hi Erika where do you buy your paper from? So cute
Thank you! I bought this Valentine’s paper from PopShelf. I shared the haul in a video on my channel!
I have that same ring but in white gold. What type glue is that?
Really?! That’s awesome! I’ve never met anyone who has the same ring 💍! We’ve got great taste! 😊 💕 oh the glue in the glue gun press is Nuvo glue. But if you are curious about the glue holder/gun/press you can check out my video - ua-cam.com/video/HxV5jX42Wwo/v-deo.htmlsi=uHXMRJcgoDZR8k4Z
What brand of glue gun is that? I have never seen one for the white glue.
The brand is “My Sweet Petunia” and the name of it is “Precision Glue Press” You can learn more about it from my latest video - ua-cam.com/video/HxV5jX42Wwo/v-deo.htmlsi=WPG8CMi-fkEJlZze
can you link the links for the machine you used and the glue gun?...im new to all this and would love to know what to use....
Oh yes of course! I will start including the links to the tools I use in the description of my videos. The glue gun I used is the Precision Glue Press. I’ll be sharing a review video today on it!

Very Cute!! May I ask where can I find that glue gun?

Where did you find that heart bow?💜
Hey there Cindy! I purchased it a while ago and unfortunately I didn’t keep the packaging. I wish I had so I could share the brand or store I bought it at. Many have asked and I’ve done searches but can’t seem to find it anywhere. If I do find it I’ll be sure to let you know! 💕
Can you please put links to where we can buy the paper please?
Yes, I’m working on that! Thanks for the feedback. I bought these papers from the store PopShelf I don’t think they have an online store. The brand is pink paislee and the collection is “lucky us” 💕
@@Todaywitherikafay thank you for replying I’ll have to look online
@@lauratully9707 You’re welcome I did add the rest of the links to the other items I could find online. Just in case you’re interested! 💕

@@Elainelovejoy yeah! bummer I don’t think it’s being sold anymore. If I find it I’ll be sure to post about it!
@@Todaywitherikafay THANKS
Did you forget the spine? Looks a bit raw. Washi tape would be an idea
Hi there! I didn’t forget the spine I actually like it showing and that was the look I was going for. BUT I love the idea of washi tape on the spine too! Thanks for the idea I’ll give it a try!
What is the glue gun that you are using?
It’s the new precision glue press! I’ll have a new video posted about it later today! Stay tuned! 😃
