Very cute and good idea! If you're die cutting the hearts you could use a sheet of foam to speed up that time!

I was thinking the same thing with the foam, I don't have any punches so I'm going to use my Brother Scan and Cut to make the top part of the hearts as they'll all cut the exact same size 😊

This is such a wonderful tutorial. I've never made these and I definitely want to try your idea. I wondered if you could use a die to cut the hearts and the same die to cut a piece of foam or two rather than using a punch. I don't have a heart punch anyway so I'm just thinking out loud. 😂 Thank you so much for sharing your project. ❤🤗

Shocking engagement, to be honest. Hope I don't mess up!

How adorable, especially this time of the year with your choice of paper you are using. I was by no means offended by the ‘crazy’ statement. I use doubled sided tape from insulated window kits for my crafts and cards. It’s certainly more cost effective same and the double sided foam from same kits is great as well. In the crafty world, we use wisdom when purchasing supplies. I know I’m little late posting my response. In my defense, your video showed up in my feed tonight!!

Being new to hidden paper clips I’ve been watching lots of tutorials, and have been trying out various methods of construction. Yours is an interesting take and I will definitely give it a go. Really like the idea of eliminating the ‘bump’! Just wonder about the thickness of the end result??? Am also not sure about the foam tape being seen on the sides but won’t know for sure until I see it in real life. Regardless, I appreciate the tutorial.

@papercraftcrystal

Thanks for watching! It ends up being as thick as two layers of foam tape, which is thin enough for me considering how lumpy the rest of my journal ends up... your milage may vary!

The hidden paperclips are bookmarks; you can easily move them from page to page. I think they would be a little thick for a regular book, but perfect in a journal that already includes dimensional embellishments and ephemera!

Really ,just because other diyers don't use what you use their all stupid.?All of the diyers I watch are so sweet, talented as I'm sure you probably are also.But please think before you speak.
