2024 November now and this hasnt lost it's charm. I so enjoyed this video. Thanks Nina 😊
Thanks so much Elizabeth. One of my favourite makes 🌸
Love the idea of tissue paper over a dried flower to protect and secure it for the long haul. Everything you made in the video is beautiful.
Thank you. It really does work like a charm 💕🌸🌺💕
It’s never occurred to me to use alcohol markers to bring back colour to dried flowers! Brilliant idea Nina, thank you xxx💕
Thanks Susie, I’m really pleased with the results 💕
Thank you for this tutorial Nina, I've learned a few new things. I have probably been crafting since before you were born but the wonderful thing about crafting is there is always something new to be learned and take our projects to a new height keeping us coming back for more and in our own works leaving us amazed yet leads us to ask ourselves, "what if?". This was fun. TYFS, Donna, in California.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Donna. I agree, there is always something new to learn and fun to try. Happy Creating 💕
My Oh My, I don't think your journal could be more adorable, it's perfect. Didn't even know you could colour dried flowers, thanks for that technique. Tfs xo
Thanks Elizabeth. I like how natural these journals are looking 💕 xo
Omg got to teach myself how to dry flowers your projects are amazing
Thank you for sharing your process. These are incredibly beautiful, and you’ve inspired me to start pressing flowers from my garden so I can make things like this. Thank you so much!
Thanks Heather. I’m hope you will enjoy using them 🌸
Good morning nina, did I enjoy the video????? Yes, yes, yes. The journals look so good, they show how much you love doing this, that you put so much love and care into making them. I learn a lot of things and love the experiments with boiling, pressing, mixing glues . Thank you again for the video. Have a good week, take care and see you soon again...love lenaxxx

Hello Nina, Thank you for sharing, this video of dried flowers from the garden brought back fond memories of my Mom drying flowers from the garden when I was a little girl. Have a lovely day! Your nature journals are coming along beautifully.

I really like this video but you’re speaking to my heart with flowers and nature!
Wow, thank you!
So beautiful, Nina! You solved the problem of faded dried flowers, and they look amazing in your journal. I am totally in love with the lace on the binding! 😍
Hi Nina! I've tried drying some leaves after having watched your video. I did not have that kind of paper, so I used a watercolor sheet, laid out the leaves and covered them with hairspray, and solution of boiling leaves with salt and vinegar. I pressed them and ironed them and got dried leaves plus eco dyed pages. I will show them on the facebook group.Thanks so much. take care! hugs.
Ohhh, Nina! You so inspire me!
Thanks you so much, that’s lovely to hear 💕💕💕
Meravigliosiiiii....Grazie....✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨

Absolutely lovely.
The layers of texture are so pleasing.
Thanks so much Laurie, they feel wonderful too 💕
Your work is always spectacular! These journals are gorgeous. The pressed flowers are fabulous, too! The lace on the side turnef out do very lovely! You certainly do have an eye for what will work, and a brain that thinks outside the box. TFS. I did. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks so much for your kind words Evelyn. I’m so happy with how these are coming together. Thanks as always for sharing 💕💕💕🌸🌺💕
This idea is brilliant! You are so inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you so much 💕
I love these. Thank you for sharing your skills and ideas.
Thank you so much Debbie 💕
Absolutely stunning!! You are so creative and a master at idea generation.
Thank you. My mind is constantly motoring 💕
Nina Ribena Sign of a young mind!
Nicely done!
Truly elegant creations & such beautiful journals. Love the way you protect & preserve the dried flowers. Thank you so much for sharing
Beautiful book cover? So beautiful! Great inspiration for using pressed flowers.🌸🌼🌺🇨🇦🐝🙏
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 💕🌺🌸
Beautiful work Nina. I've used many dried flowers before but have never used pens in that way to re-colour them - such a great idea. And your journals are fabulous
Thanks Kylie. I’m glad I didn’t have to bin the faded ones 💕
Absolutely gorgeous!Thank you,I will deffo be making these.
Beautiful and so creative, thank you so much for sharing
Thanks Dina 💕
as always you've given me more ideas on what to do with dried flowers...you and your videos are the best...I don't know if you have tried ironing the flowers once all the glue has dried completely...I tried this recently and I love the texture and how it flattens everything out ...one can use parchment paper on top of any decoupaged items and iron with a hot dry iron...I use a heat resistant vinyl which is semi opaque so I can see my items underneath...love your videos...
Amazing!🌸
Oooh what a great way to bring those flowers back to life... I really liked the lavender on the hessian/burlap tape... I might need to find some of that... You are flying along with fun ideas for this nature theme... Great video thank you Nina!! ❤️😁🌹🌹
Thanks Elaine. I think dried flowers are one of those things that we all love, but are too frightened to use because of their fragility. This is a lovely way to use them 💕
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia it is I have some daisies in a book that I would like to use but they have white petals of course so maybe I will try and dry something else first.. ♥️♥️😁🌼
Gorgeous!thank you for sharing your talents
Thanks so much Torree 💕
The nature journals are GORGEOUS! A great idea to wait on sewing in the signatures. It is no wonder your channel has over 32,000 subscribers. Your creations & thus, inspiration, is always spot on. I am very thankful I found you not long after you started making videos😊
Awwww, thanks so much for your lovely kind words Lyn. I’m so grateful that some of your lovely ladies have stuck with me. Its been an amazing journey 💕💕💕 x
What a great way to refresh those colours! Beautiful results. 💝
Thanks Ineke. I’m very pleased with these 💕
A beautiful project.
Thanks so much Bobbe 💕
Wow. I adore this journal, it's pages, and the dried flower ephemera you have created. I have a file filled with bird feathers I have found on hikes and walks through my neighborhood over a period of 40 years! At last I know what to do with them. I also have a small asst of dried flowers to use this way also. I'm so excited I can't wait to do this. Thank you so much, Nina XOXOJane
Thanks for your lovely comment Jane. Your collection of feathers sounds amazing and will be beautiful preserved like this. Happy Creating 💕🌸🌿🌺🦋
Outstanding Nina .... love how you are blending colour and nature to bring out the best of everything you are using . Kay x
Thanks Kay. I like how natural and simplistic these journals are. Really enjoying putting these together 💕 xx
Beautiful Nina. I’ve just ordered some of the Khadi paper. I have mulberry but it’s not so robust. The mulberry Is beautiful waxed too ❤️❤️x
You’ll love the Khadi paper. I’ve been experimenting with wax on all kinds of papers but not tried mulberry paper, so it’s next on the list 💕
Very cool journal. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Deborah, glad you like it 💕

Oh my gosh Nina, this is one of my favorite videos and enhancing the flowers is brilliant.
Awwww, thanks so much Dawn 💕💕💕
So lovely Nina! Thanks for sharing!♥️
Thanks Susan 💕
Beautiful!! They remind me of antique botanical prints.
I dried some Queen Anne's lace, to paint (or not) to insert in my resin jewelry.
I love dried flowers..!!
Queen Anne’s lace would be perfect for this technique 💕
So lovely... thank you 🤗🌸
Glad you enjoyed it 💕
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Your work is AMAZING! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much 💕

This is gorgeous, i love the flowers and the colours you have used , thankyou for sharing was lovely to watch thank you lv Jacqueline
Thanks so much Jacqueline. Glad you enjoyed it 💕
These are truly gorgeous! Thanks for more new inspiration!
Thank you so much Ann 💕
Amazing, I love the look. The papers are also beautifully died.
Thank you so much 💕
How lovely to see that we can do something with faded dried flowers, I've got some that were a really vibrant pink, but now look so washed out I did think about throwing them out, but with your technique I'll be able to make use of them, just need to find them in the craft room now.
Your beautiful journal is coming along nicely, I'm looking forward to seeing what else your going to do with it. Tfs x
Its funny how some flowers just don’t keep their colour during the drying process isn’t it. I hope you manage to find them 💕
Thank you so much Nina, that’s absolutely and utterly stunning and gorgeous and breathtaking.......I really really love 💕 how you made those embellishments, they look so simple but, impressive at the same time!!!!!! And those journals are really really stunning and gorgeous too. I have a microwave flower press, and it’s takes no time at all to get the results you want. I’m definitely going to have a go at those embellishments too. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Mags. I purchased a Microfleur a couple of weeks ago and I’m just trying to get used to the drying times. Hope you stay safe and well too 💕 xxx
Love your videos
Thank you so much 💕
Brilliant! You've already got me emptying out (and restocking) my flower press so this is a fabulous tutorial to show how the faded flowers can be revitalised and used in such a pretty way. Thanks for sharing 💕
Thanks Steph. Its so disappointing when they come out of the press totally intact, but have lost their colour isn’t it. Happy Creating 💕
These are beautiful! Haven't been able to get upstairs for crafts yet because of knee replacement. Hopefully soon. Love the pages.💕
Wishing you a speedy recovery Sherry 💕
Hermoso!!!!!!!!!
Muchas gracias 💕
ohhh!!!! I'm going to try to do these beautiful ideas. Thank you.
Thanks Wilma. Happy Creating 💕🌺🌸 x
Wow 😮 your album looks amazing already, the embellishments are stunners 💜🤗🧚♀️
Aw, thanks so much. I’m pleased with how it’s coming together 💕
Can you demonstrate how you made the outer journals.loveyour ideas.
Hi Lily, here is the link to part 1 showing how I made the journal covers: ua-cam.com/video/XxH2tiajMK0/v-deo.html
just beautiful, thank you x
Love this so much Nina..must get my dried pansy petals out that I have had for years! Could never throw them out and am so happy I didn’t!
Glad this has given you an idea for your Pansies Lorraine. Happy Creating 💕
I love everything about this video. It is my favorite of your so far... I am going to try this flower technique today. Thanks for the inspiration and artistry.
Thanks so much for your kind words Liz. I hope you achieve some wonderful results 💕💕💕
These are gorgeous, Nina. I like them very much. I have had a go at 'refreshing' faded dried flowers with watercolours - not particularly successfully - so I will definitely try alcohol markers now. Great tip. Many thanks as ever.
Thanks Edna. I think the reason alcohol markers work so well is because they dry so quickly and therefore don’t saturate the flower 💕
These are turning out so pretty. I love them. Nature never looks so good!! 😂 thanks -Marsha from Texas
Thanks Marsha. I’m trying to keep them as natural as possible and I so far I’m very pleased with them 💕 x
Btw i love your work!
Awesome technique, I am so in love with the finished cards. I may try it on tea bags I've been saving. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Celine. I think this would be lovely with tea bags 💕
Thank you 😊
Hi Nina. I just adore these videos with dried things. I am trying it with an iris and a peony, but I have an important question: do you use dead flowers or can you start with living flowers? If you wait until they’re dead, how do you store them until they’re dead? Thank you so much for helping me. I’ve never done such a thing as this. 😘
Thanks Victoria. All my flowers were picked fresh and most were dried and flattened in a heavy book for a few weeks. I also dried some using my iron which is instantaneous and works a treat. Here’s the link to the video ua-cam.com/video/u9Ig0X7Sp3U/v-deo.html
Love love love it all Nina, I’ll definitely going to pick more flowers today lol. Your journals are gorgeous, I’m just trying to find a frame for my wedding flowers now . Tfs hugs xx
Yes, I’m going out walking this week for more wild flowers too. I hope you’ll share a pic of your wedding flowers 💕 Hugs 💕 xx
