  • Using the SparkBird Altered Paperclip method we make four darling removable pockets/tuck spots from a single 12x12" sheet.

    Your paperclip idea is genius. I noticed so many UA-cam crafters making their own spin on this idea. The possibilities are endless really. Thank you for sharing your talents

      I can’t believe my feed after your paperclip video. Everyone jumped on it. As a kid, we made these felt and hand stitched hidden hair clips and I swear I saved them somewhere. When I saw your original video, I got excited! easier than felted hand stitched ones! I hunted down boxes of paperclips to just create these and now perhaps some like this video. I needed something I could do without committing to a whole journal yet, and that I could do sitting at the couch due to my health. I adore your papers inside your journals with damask and wallpaper type prints. I am not sure you are printing them or buying them. This sheet captivated me I would love the same one. ❤️ I have very little 12”x12” and they are ugly and too thick for paperclips.

      @@canadianjaneoriginal I would love to see the hair clips if you uncover one. The sheet I used in this video had one of my prints on one side (the blue pattern available here: www.etsy.com/listing/1378694842/) and the other side came out of a "paper studio" paper pack pack available from Hobby Lobby I think. Hope you have fun creating these with whatever paper you choose!

So now I'm a subscriber. And I love Algebra. Calculus even more!! But I do use algebra a lot more often than I ever thought I would in daily life.

    First, I’m glad I found you Ms. Spark bird. I spoke with you on, I think, Paper Outpost a week or two ago, and just now found you after looking for every kind of bird in UA-cam! I took one look at this video and signed up immediately. Gee sound like the military. Then I started follow the trail of paper clips through several Paper Clip Artists until I eventually tracked down the mysterious(to me anyway) Ms. E. It sort of felt like one of those mystery whodunnit games on the Internet. And I have a felling the trail will lead on. Ok, this was a windy way of saying that it’s been a very entertaining way of spending the evening. I do hope you ladies don’t mind a mostly watcher.I’m having to keep my feet higher than my heart for a while, which makes it a little difficult. But by the time I’m recovered, I’ll be ready to begin my world teaching tour from all I’ve learned on UA-cam. I’ll try not to be this obnoxious all the time. I’m mostly much quieter. So blessings and health to all of y’all and yours.🙏🏻🖖🏻🤭

I should’ve dropped what I said as doing when I heard about your artistic clips rather than going a circuitous route of backtracking. Lesson learned, it was Pam at Paper Outpost where she mentioned you. Now that I’m here I’m loving it! Binge-watching you, new subby from Pennsylvania. ❤️

      @sparkbirdstudios  Рік тому +1

      For this I used the Canon Pixma TS9521C - the "C" stands for crafters and will do 12x12 (plus all other standard size) printing. I really love the 12x12 feature since I can use all of the papers I'd otherwise have no use for by printing on the backs.

      @sparkbirdstudios  Рік тому

      Generally any standard text weight paper will work, even the very thin Hobby Lobby Print Studio packs. I wouldn't go too thick as the paper (for this project) as the paper gets folded so many times. But I've also printed on 65# cover at that size for other projects

      @@sparkbirdstudios I switched to a Canon Megatank last year, but it's not a wide format. I'm beginning to look forward to designing digital scrapbook paper, and I think I'll want to see it printed on a 12x12 before I release it. I don't want to go back to cartridge. Thanks for some paper info.
