CHEAP PAPERCRAFTING ON A BUDGET - MIX IT UP MAY-
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- Hi guys, welcome to another episode of Mix it up May. Inspired by the amazing new idea-logy release from Mr. Tim Holtz, I am on a mission to recreate my own paper folders and folios on a budget. Using different types of paper that I have at home and minimal supplies,
I'm diving into the world of DIY papercrafting. As a passionate papercrafter, I believe that half the fun is making these creations myself. Not only will this save us a lot of money, but it will also bring us immense joy.

I also don’t tend to purchase TH crafting supplies, however I recently watched one of his product videos by accident and I now have a HIGE amount of respect for him and no longer have a problem buying his products (if I decide it’s really what I want) because he actually encourages making it yourself and only getting his products if you are doing a mixed media thing or have problems with your hands or things like that. Just throwing that out there.
One can also put the big hole punch up from the bottom with the flap folded up?
You’re sensational!
I also love your accent, and it was while watching this that I figured out why. When I was a teenager, I used to volunteer at our local library, and the librarian was a beautiful, warm, funny, and practical Dutch lady. Lovely memories. 😁
Thanks 😁🇳🇱🥰
Marvelous Ms M! I love hearing the excitement in your voice, I get excited too. I want to shout, “Take that schmanzy fancy designers. My girl did it better” lol. 🤗
😂👍🏻😘
Fantastic! Great to see the basics done again as a reminder. Can't wait to see the entire accordion project put together. Hugs--Terry
👍🏻😘
Funny Story - I had just purchased ALL of Tim's Folios/Booklets- but only as templates/patterns so I could copy/reconstruct on my own. I use to do a lot of sewing ages ago and I ALWAYS needed a pattern LOL
BUT to have YOUR explaining and fashioning right here in my crafty spot is GOLD! I ADORE you and your channel!
Thank you so much ☺️
I love your videos! Thanks for explaining the processes so well! I love your saying “Bob’s your uncle!” lol 😂❤😂
😂👍🏻😘
I’ve been doing this craft since the 1980s but it wasn’t “junk journaling” yet. Mr. Tim Holtz had the foresight to see a market, lucky duck. It’s more fun to are these things but I totally understand others wanting to buy them ready made. I have learned some new tricks watching your channel so many many thanks. I love your humor. Happy crafting
😁😘👍🏻
Morning Margreth, l always attributed my wish to create things from scratch down to my creativity. Now l see that it’s more likely to be because of my Dutch heritage 😅 Thank you for sharing these projects. I love them. They absolutely speak to my frugal, Dutch heart.
Have a beautiful day, Barbara 🇦🇺 🦘
😘👍🏻🇳🇱
Fantastic Margreth! File folders are always a favorite of mine! I’ll be rewatching this video!
😘👍🏻
So many creators are featuring the new Tim Holtz releases right now but I am drawn to your ideas of using the products as inspiration for making our own materials. I had lots of fun making collage strips like your previous video! You bring back the creativity vs just acquiring new things. Also, I am a little bored with seeing all the same little paper dolls, “old” photos, etc. that are immediately identifiable as TH in everyone’s work. Much more fun to create it ourselves!❤
Agreed 😁👍🏻😘
You’re an amazing lady! You managed to teach something that is not the most straight forward thing ever, without making me feel baffled or dense! Thankyou so much xxxxxxx😊
My pleasure 😇
What a brilliant idea to add side pockets for connecting the 2 pieces of paper on the last project! Like you, I enjoy making the books and pockets on my own, that half the fun! Thank you for another informative video ❤
My pleasure 😇
It just shows that purchased items from the best in the craft business are not always worth the money 🤓 and I want an uncle called bob 😅
😘😁👍🏻
I had a Dad called Bob, so all my cousins had an Uncle called Bob. My children would says Bob's my Grandad.
yep my husband tells me i'm a cheap dutchy all the time😂i'm proud of each of those times🤩
😂👍🏻🇳🇱
I forgot to say your nails look so much better now and hopefully the pain has gone. Crafty hugs Jacqui 😺😺💖
Thanks sweetheart 😘
Don't want to miss Friday. I think using the elastic is easy in adding signatures, love watching you.
Thanks 😊
You're a great paper engineer! This is the way I make my books and folios!
😁👍🏻
I’m so glad you did this, just goes to show that you don’t need to purchase everything.
👍🏻😁
I love your solution of the side pockets on the last project! Clever
😁👍🏻
I have purchased several TH items with the express purpose of keeping the template to use for my own creations. Love how you do this as well, Margreth !
Thanks 😊
Hello from Canada. I do not purchase Tim Holtz products as I think that they are overpriced. I make my own "Tim Like" items to save money and I do not have to pass the cost on to my customers who purchase my journals. And, you can make them in different colors!!!! Thank you for the inspiration.
The sad thing is he can charge so much because people are willing to pay it. I'm sure at this point he has his manufacturers that charge a fraction of the cost to make them so his profit line is huge. Not that I'm knocking the guy his business. Good for him for making his millions. If we all could, we would. But then when you stop and think that a lot of stuff he doesn't even design himself but instead pays other artists for their images and then he just slaps his name on it and BAM! $20+ product.
I've stopped running out and buying every color and every stamp as those were my two vices and now try to stick to a handful of go to colors and just buying the re inkers when needed but I'm always on the lookout for diy tim products/alternatives (like Margreth's collage strips I never bought but will now make!). So it's cool that you've found ways to do the same. I think if less people bought items and the consensus was price, maybe they'd think twice on pricing and the man would still make money. But not the world we live in. For the best I suppose or I would just keep amassing additional supplies I don't really need.
@@hl7774 Exactly!
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial Margreth ❤
You are so up my alley about making this yourself from scratch!
That is what I love with papercrafting.
For a first timer, of course buy these packs and do the decorating finishes.
Use them as templates first.
Wishing you a lovely and relaxing weekend ❤
Thanks sweetheart 🥰
You're doing what I've done for a long time. I figure out a lot of things I've seen. I keep going until I get it right. It's worth it to do this. Thanks for sharing.❤🤗💛
👍🏻😁
Like you, I love all things Tim Holtz, including Tim himself. What I’ve found with his products are that he gives us different ways to accomplish the same things. For instance, we can use a piece of his pre-made paper or make something similar with his stencils, stamps and inks. He had the matchbook boxes in the Ideaology line. They’re gone but we have the option of buying a die to make them. I like the convenience of some of his pre-made products but have learned through you, Toni and Wendy’s Journal Adventure, that I can make most everything I need. Love the versatility of this art/craft form. Great video!
Thanks 😊
Genius! 🙌😍
@Ranger are you watching this? Because you should be 👀
😂👍🏻😘
Great to watch how you made yours Margreth. Instructions are easy to understand. Brilliant. xx
Thanks 😊
Such a great video. Thank you for the tutorials. I can't wait to see what you do on Friday. I love your positivity.
Thanks 😊
Very cool! Can't wait to see what you do on Friday!
😁😘👍🏻
I made one of those folios or whatever you call them, it was a lot of work and also I said some bad words and dogs ran under the bed.
Your are a very good instructor, thank you for sharing. Big hugs and kisses yo cats.😘😻
😂😂😘
I loved this tutorial and plan to watch and make for my stock. I'm not in a financial position to purchase all the more expensive craft supplies. I do have a few of TH items that were bought as gifts for me. If I can make something myself I'd prefer that. You are a joy to watch keeping my spirits up. Thank you.
😘👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant!! I’ve been on the fence about using money I just don’t have, to buy these products. This is such a money saver, thank you so much! I too think that your accordion folio is better than Mr. Tim Holtz’s! 😉 Thank you so so so much for these tutorials! I always learn so much from you and you’re always inspiring me and now, saving me a bunch of money! ❤
😊👍🏻
Lieben Dank, ich liebe es mit wenig Budget gut zu arbeiten.❤
😁👍🏻
Your amazing! I enjoy learning from you so much! I appreciate the money saving ideas. 😊
My pleasure 😇
That was fun! I stayed with you all the way through. Can't wait to see Friday's "nicer" project with the 12 x 12. Thank you!
😁👍🏻
Love these. ❤️. If you punch from the bottom instead of the top the circle would be lower down.
I love a low/free budget ❤ mixing it up
😁😘👍🏻
oh wow, wat een supertip van dat lipje bovenaan, heel blij mee :)
😁👍🏻
You are amazing! I love all of yours, better than his. Want to give them a try. Unfortunately, I just lost my mother 😢. You know how rough that can be. Thanks for keeping me company while I wait to get a plane ticket. Hugs ❤❤
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry lovey. 🥲 sending you prayers and strength. ❤️
As usual, Amazing! Keep the ideas and techniques coming!!!
👍🏻😁
Great video, dear Margreth, you nailed it... I do also prefer crafting this by myself... but I can understand someone who just wants to decorate the item itself and does not want to be bothered with the mechanics etc. (for whatever reason), and I think they are grateful for these items and therefore it is great you can purchase them. Other crafters dive into the project from toe to head (probably vice versa😁) , like to figure out the mechanics and blueprints and are not scared to lay the groundwork, so to say, spending hours with the (eventually?) less fun part of crafting before turning to decorating etc. I think you could compare it to convenience food to which you can add some spices instead of cooking the whole meal with ALL ingredients and spices chosen by yourself.... and like Mr. Holtz always says: You Do You.... I am looking forward to friday❤
Apparently I Craft like I cook 😂👍🏻😘
Such a perfect analogy!
It’s official…. Mr. Holtz should hire you on as part of his design team..honestly yours are better❤❤!!!
😜👍🏻😘
Perfect solution to joining the two parts together seamlessly! I applaud you!
Thanks 😊
You are such an amazing creator. Thanks for this video darling. By the way, your nails are looking so much better. ❤😊
Thank you ☺️
The fancy curves on the end of the file folders can be made with the envelope notch punch . Just have the edge of the paper lined up with the middle of the punch. The lovely Ms. Julie has a great video on making the file folders.
👍🏻😁
I love the whole reverse engineering process of the video! When i find things i like, i love deconstruct them in order to understand how they were designed and how I can clone them ❤ love this!
👍🏻😁
It was good to see you do your versions of Tim’s pieces. Looking forward to Friday. I had another look at the live and saw that the accordion file is made from just one single piece of paper giving 8 panels without glue so that was impressive and it is the heavy mixed media paper. Although none of the makers used both sides of the accordion which was a pity. Still I’d like to see your take. I’ve always used the joins to make top loading or side loading pockets. See you Friday. 😊
😁👍🏻
Not related to this video. But I channeled you today at my little country thrift shop. Normally I'd not have given a $1 carved wood box a second look, but I opened it and thought with your cool little paper boxes it would be perfect for tons of bits n bobs. Now to actually make the bits n bobs. Lol.
😁👍🏻😘
Whew, that was a lot of work you packed in to that hour! You inspired me to go get a couple of the file folders( i bought a box full for a couple of dollars at Goodwill) and start making these too! Im excited for Friday and plan to have my supplies ready to follow along. TFS 😊
😁👍🏻😘
❤❤❤
Thank you for making this video. Although I currently have no use for these items, I greatly appreciate that you took the time to show us how to make these. It seems like lately more and more youtubers are buying every new item that comes out and although I'm currently blessed with the ability to buy them if I so wish, to just amass so much stuff just because of the excitement of new items... I have to start telling myself no. 😞
For the people who get some sort of commission from people buying products, by all means, make that coin! But I'm finding myself more and more disappointed when I have a collection of stamps (for example) that have been bought for one specific project and are now just sitting there unused. Or when a mixture of brands are used and i don't have all of them because some may just not be my aesthetic and then I'm left with not knowing how to fill that hole because I don't have something similar in a style I do have. My mind creates those blocks.
I really wish I had the ability to just look at my stuff and put them together like a puzzle but it always seems like I'm trying to fit a square peg in a round hole then I get frustrated and give up on the project.
Plus if I had this ability then I wouldn't need to come watch Margreth's beautiful mind at work! 😁 and let's face it, sometimes I just want to copy a project exactly as is because that's what attracted me to it in the first place!
So again, I truly, truly appreciate a video that says if you really want to, then get it but just know it's not an absolute necessity and let me show you how to make it yourself. Or, as an alternative, let's work with what we already have! Because at this point, at the very least we all probably have a few of the same go to stamp sets, punches, and inks. 🙈
Very well said my dear 😘👍🏻😁
Thank you for this I love that we can make this ourselves ❤
😁👍🏻😘
Smart! The hole on the coin pocket could go from the bottom and be lower, it should clear the fold up flap. The booklet folio I think is sewn into the eyelets instead of slip in? I think could be wrong but it looked like some of the makes we’re stitched to the spine? 🤷🏻♀️ Still I love seeing how I can make these not buy them. Thank you for all the tedious work with measurements!!!! 💚🖤💚
My pleasure 😇
I saw Tim's video before you did your review and I felt the same way. I have manilla folders to make all of these. Thanks for the review...Great tutorial as always😊❤
😁👍🏻
So glad you did this. This definitely makes these more accessible for people
My pleasure 😇
Great job!! Your booklet is much better. I can see buying the other items for convenience, once in a while, but would rather make them myself most of the time. I can see using Tim's booklet by sewing in the signature but would have to add another eyelet in the middle. Appreciate the dedicated tutorial.
😁👍🏻
Thought the same as you when I saw these but thank you for going through each of them. Can't wait till Friday x
😁👍🏻😘
I'm with you, and it's also the satisfaction of making it in the first place xx
😘😁👍🏻
Ever so clever❤❤❤❤
😁👍🏻
Your nails look great 😊 ❤
Thanks, they are almost back to normal 😁
I’m with you, sentiments creep me out too!
😜👍🏻😁
Can’t wait until Friday. Love watching this and gathering my papers to follow along. Thank you.
😁👍🏻
I am totally with you on this!
Hello Margreth 😊 thank you so much for this video, very technique and interesting. Have a good day 😊❤
🥰😘👍🏻
Love the explanation! I watched the whole process first. Then I tried to do it myself following along. I will admit I had to stop it a few times but I finished it!
I started with 12x12 paper and just made three strips. So I have two sets of side loading pockets. Thank you for the tutorial I’m saving it so I can watch again maybe with different paper.
Thank you
Dawn
Great work Dawn, that’s how I am going to do it this Friday 👍🏻😁
I have lots of blank, mostly A4, card so making my own will always be my first move. Sometimes, though, the measuring and planning where folds, flappies and cuts go can be head scratchingly bothersome. For this part of my project I have you!😊 Thank you. Brilliant. 👍🥰
My pleasure 😇
Even if I was a gazillionaire, I wouldn't want to buy the things you mentioned!!
Appreciate all the little tips.
😁👍🏻🥰
I definitely will need the Friday's remedial training session. You make it look so easy but I know the pause button is going to get a workout. I am excited to do this project.
👍🏻😁😘
Absolutely fantastic video! If it can be made and not bought, I feel it's more satisfying. Thank you for showing us crafters how to save money. 😃🇨🇦
My pleasure 😇
These are sooooooooooooooooooooo simple! And so cheap to make. I like Tim Holtz things, but sometimes everything starts to look the same. Too much Tim Holtz and not enough creativity on the part of the designer. You never do this, and I really appreciate it. TFS 🥰
And your fingernails! Finally :)
Thanks sweetheart 😘😘
I’ve been creating digital papers for junk journalists, but decided to try my hand at making said journals as well. Your channel has become my gospel. ❤ I now find myself channeling your voice whenever I make a huge blunder: ‘no worries, lovies, it’s no problem, it doesn’t matter…’ 😂😂❤❤ Keeps me calm as well as sane.
Even my husband ( who listens in sometimes while he is gaming) LOVES when she says 'Lovies' - and I hear her voice during blunders too! LOL
😁😘👍🏻
Love your channel and love that you like to DIY it yourself with so many items! I do have a suggestion for the pocket with the hole and a notch on top. Fold your pocket differently by moving the overlapped papers to overlap on one side. Then I think you can make the hole easier, where you want it and still put a notch on the top. I love them! ❤
👍🏻😁
Also, maybe punch the hole before scoring and cutting the bottom flap. You might end up with a smaller flap but since it's just so things don't fall out through the bottom, how big of a flap do you really need? 😁
Can't wait to craft with you on that pocket folio!
😁👍🏻
Love this. Can't wait to make my own! Thank you
😁👍🏻
Absolute genius again Margreth!! I prefer your flippy flappy to TH version, I love the way your brain works, so clever. I can't wait for Friday's video. Great to see your nails looking so good again. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Love to Daisy and Jackson (and 👋 to Tim) xxx
Thanks sweetheart 😘
Wow such an amazing way you attached that and came out with 2 additional pockets that Tim Holtz doesn’t have. Great Job !!!
😁👍🏻😘
Fantastic ideas I 💞 it 🌹
Thanks 😊
@@SevenplazaCreative you're welcome 🤗
💜💜💜
😘
You’re brilliant!
Thanks ☺️
Totally agree with you on these and appreciate the deconstruction demonstration. I love to make the structure too - that's part of the fun, and I have lots of different papers I want to use for these sorts of things, and make the size exactly the way I want it. Excellent video. Thank you Margreth!
My pleasure 😇
Thanks you for sharing all these ideas Margreth! You make it look easy & fun, & I love the way you make videos, your enthusiasm is infective! 😊😂❤
Thank you so much ☺️
jah! het is je weer gelukt om veel volgers te overtuigen dat je het ook best zelf kan maken ! het is eigenlijk best simpel , je moet alleen wel het juiste papier en zo hebben, maar als je niet zeker van jezelf bent , maak het dan eerst van bv printpapier.... ik wist ook niet dat het in een soort cover zat...want ik heb het ook nog nooit gekocht. wel tekende ik het een beetje na zodat ik het dan wat na kon maken....bedankt weer voor de goede uitleg en tot vrijdag!!! 🤗😘😊
😘😘😘
Look forward to Friday.
If something is made no matter who is the creator there are ways to make similar and I do like your version ❤
Thanks 😊
Good Morning Margreth! Thank you for saving us money by making these beauties from scratch! I love yours more!! I was wondering if you punched the circle on the coin envelope at the bottom with the flappy turned up if that would center the circle? Doesn’t matter! It’s so cute anyway. Can’t wait to see the next one.
😁👍🏻
Your's is definitely better. You could have maybe cut the hole from envelope from the bottom. It would then sit lower down, but how you did everything was way better. Sending greetings from New Zealand
😘👍🏻
I have being struggling so much with this. I love the 3d projects i love the pre-made stuff and the mixed media stuff also but i dont have the budget to always buy the big brand stuff and certainly not all off everything.and for the longest time it felt i was miss out because all the cool peeps..well..also quality wise if i did re made my self something i was always doubting. This helps me to feel it a even bit more less then yesterday😊thanks
😁👍🏻
Perfect tutorial, good instructions ❤ Thank you for sharing your creativity 😊 Greetings from Denmark
😁😘👍🏻
Brilliant Margreth and how much money you have saved us 😁😁. I love this thrifty crafting where we use what we have. Thank you so much for sharing. Crafty hugs Jacqui 😺😺💖
My pleasure 😇
Love your video
Thanks ☺️
This is fabulous. I especially enjoyed the last one where you managed to hide the seam. I had never considered doing that before. Woot! Can't wait for Friday.
😁😘👍🏻
You explain things so well. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to us! ❤
My pleasure 😇
My goodness this is a fantastic tutorial, you could hardly tell one from the other. Indefinitely want to make some of these. I've got some heavy duty lining paper(wall paper) so am going to try the the accordion folio without seams. It's not as tough as card stock but I think once it's decorated that will strengthen everything. Thank you so much for all your fabulous videos! Best papercrafting creator on youtube😃
Using wallpaper is a great idea 👍🏻😊
✨🌼❣️🤗❣️🌼✨
As usual I much prefer yours, and save the money to buy a pack of card stock 😂🎉
😂👍🏻😘
Thank you!!
👍🏻👍🏻
I understand. Thank you for the tutorial, I was hoping that was the one you would show us.(the accordion fold). Thanks Margreth. 🙂♥️
👍🏻😁
You can use an envelope maker. It has a notch punch. 😀😂
👍🏻😁
Thanks for sharing. Could punch from the bottom to make the circle lower down. 😊
👍🏻😁
Great video.
Thanks 😊
I purchased them to use as a template to make others. The measurements make my head hurt. Lol
😜👍🏻😘
