Fabulous embellishments, love them🩷💙🩷

You don’t have to justify your process; rather than mass making you have been ‘enthusiasm making’ and your excitement and talent shine through! These little pieces are quite lovely and unique!

I don't have any washi stickers but managed to make this brilliant idea work with paper napkins! It's more tricky but provided you only lightly stamp the top paper napkin layer (so the ink doesn't spread) it works and looks beautifully translucent. I thought this might help anyone else without stickers too.

I was thinking of tracing paper, but I’m Going to try your version 😃 💕

I love how these look. As far as Mass Making each person can and should do whatever makes them happy. Same thing with colors, supplies, tools and what we choose to make. If we all liked the same things and made things the same way it would get boring. That is what I have come to love and embrace in Junk Journaling you do you. There is no right or wrong way. I can get inspiration from so many by watching and taking away what works for me. Thanks so very much for sharing your creativity and talent with all of us. You are very dedicated and I appreciate this very much.

I thoroughly agree! I even gleen ideas from creators that make things totally outside of my favorite style or "niche". I get a lot of inspiration & ideas sparked from painter-artists. And I am NOT a painter... I can't paint for beans!😁

Your creativity is awe inspiring. As creators we have our own style, and we should love what comes from our own creative hearts. However, my style is growing and changing by watching creators who have styles that I admire. 🥰🇨🇦💜

These look great! Love stamping on Washi stickers! Let’s say that you are doing mass makes- your way! Thanks so much for sharing. 😃❤️

❤ hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🍁👍😎😊

Luise these little tags are very "artsy". As always, you have the best ideas for using what we have to create something new and different. I appalude you for your creativiey and teaching abilities. I am so grateful that you share with us. As I see it, artist create to their own tune and when they share, we can all dance! Thank you so much for all you do for all of us. Blessings to you and yours.

Luise sweetheart😉☺️it is still mass making when you make many of the same process. Mass making to me is making something similar but different and making many of them. It is ok to make many of the same if you’re doing more than one of a project. I don’t like making mass projects because they may sit in my box for a long time before I use them. I like making things as I go. But hey you do you. I do love you no matter what you do. Enjoyed the video. And by the way take two pieces of scotch tape put one on both sides of the sticker and pull the backing off. Walla. 🤗 I do love the ones with color they look so good. Hugs

I just love these wee beauties, you are such an amazingly creative artist, and always such fun filled videos, thank you for being you, and sharing your wonderful ideas with us 😘😘❤️

These are so pretty done this way Luise! I’m going to buy the round tags, and I’ve already bought the flower stickers long ago, so I’m almost set to try this after my stamps and eyelets I’ve ordered arrive. Thanks for this tutorial and your time my friend! ❤🕉🌹

Thank you, great video as usual. Love hearing your excitement and giggles.

Oh I love this idea. I'll go back & watch the other videos. Thanks❤

I think this is better than last week maybe mass make the bases is quicker then personlise it every one was dfferent n i absolutely love it See the ideas keep coming n u say yer running out i dont thinkso👅🖐️the ideas will keep coming because you r cre8 ive🎨🖌️ 👅 and A genius that will never stop if you are a creative person the ideas will always coming yie know what i mean hunnie 👅😝🖐️🖐️💜💜🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Always happy to see you, Luise, thanks for sharing, kisses from ouest of France

These are so clever. I love them I love that they are mostly hand crafted and unique. Like you I want my journal embellishments and pages to reflect my style as an artist. To me this is making en mass , making many things that are similiar at the same sitting. I dont think mass making has to be mechanistic like a machine. I like the variation and like that you work on each piece individually. The word you were looking for is alignment. You want the stamp on the circle and the sticker to be aligned. If they do not match up then they are out of alignment. Much love from me in Aotearoa New Zealand ❤

Oh my goodness! These are wonderfully unique. Depending on the stickers you get these could go in any style direction. So many different ways to embellish. I have to try this out. Thank you!

These are wonderful little treasures. I don't really like mass making either, I think some might do it as a way to create more because they are making more things to add these to, like making multiple journals so they need extra ephemera and such. I don't do that, so making more things, just means more clutter. Not a fan of clutter. Also, for getting the backs off of those silly stickers, try using a pointy tool or a straight pin to pull the back off of the sticker. Hope that helps. Thanks for sharing all that you do, you are a very good teacher.

I love the layers you have created, artistic expression 👍🏻

Love how your brain works 👌🏼

Unique and very creative and interesting! ❤

The joy and excitement in your voice is back! These are very interesting. You're so clever. 😊

I think the kind of mass making you don't like is more like an assembly line, where every piece is identical. Your project is more like a "group make." 🙂 Love them!

Those are very creative and a great video. Have a great day ❤❤

I just love the sound of excitement in your voice as you create. Another great tutorial. Xxx

I love these so much I had to watch a second time while I created with you. I also used the “Specimen” stamp and live them too! So many possibilities with this wonderful idea! Have a Blessed day!

I think this is an great idea and you seem to be very excited about it, which is great. I think if you started with complete blanks without the holes prepunched you wouldn't have to worry about the hole position until you were ready to punch and add the finishing touches!!!!!! I personally think they would look better with inked edges, but that's just me!!!! Having a few on hand doesn't necessarily mean you are mass makiing!!!!! 🙂

The only time I really mass make is when I make cards, like at Christmas, to send to more than one person. And, yes, it does get boring (I have a large Christmas mailing list). Thanks, as always, for your inspiring ideas. Meg

I love these with the color. I purchased the stamp set and I already have assorted washi stickers. Yes this is a great mass make ❤❤❤

Have the same stickers and am not fond of some of them. Now I know what to do with them! Terrific idea that I’ll try soon. Thank you. Christine

Ooooooh great concept building on your previous video, the possibilities, wow....... just a few thoughts - were you to create a sheet of your stamped tags and then stamp on your stickers multiple times, you would be able to use every portion of your sticker, all with varied edges and imagery, cut the circular portion, apply to your disk and then punch or die cut your circles!!!!!! Also are you familiar with wet strength tissue? Learned of it from Froyle and that would allow you to create your own "washi" stickers then using a glue stick to apply. And another random fun enhancement I learned from Toni is that after you have set your eyelet, hit it with a texture hammer for an incredible distressed look!!!!!!! How each and everyone of you inspire and add soooo much light to our art and lives!!!!!!! Have a most terrific day and thank you as always........ 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌼🦋

Another great tutorial…..thanks for sharing!

Wonderful Idea dear and does not matter what you call it ,is sorta like mass making but different as you are not making them all the same ,but really does not matter is great to make some things to use when making and love idea of making them different and different colors dear as yes we often need different colors. love ya dear and Thank you again dear .💖

Love this idea! I am so happy I found your channel Love it when you say Don’t freak your freak ha ha thanks for all you do

I LOVE this! I have some stickers I'm not crazy About, and this would be perfect to give them a new look!! Thank you for sharing!❤😊

Love the way you do things.

Oh, die sind wieder soooo toll! Und: mach wie Du es willst❣️❣️❣️Ich mag alle Deine Videos/Prozesse/Sachen! Und danke Dir. LG

I love watching you create your artwork. Each one is like a little masterpiece. I hope your heart has this much joy as I hear in your voice. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

In my opinion, i like to mass make im this way. I vary color position and emd up with similar pieces but all different. These are so cute!! Now i want to print my own washi stickers for more customization ❤

Thank you for sharing this idea. It looks like a lot of fun. When you made the one with the torn sticker, it made me think of the Japanese technique you had in last Dephemerember. Mending it with gold. Thanks again from the Netherlands 😊

Love this, have lots of washi stickers and want to try different shape stamps. I agree only like few get bored and the don’t know what to do with them all. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I enjoy your comments and your projects. Most of the mass makes I've seen are the same item but all decorated different. Hardy any of them look identical. Christmas cards are about the only thing I've seen where they make 200 of the same thing.

OOH! I LOVE YOUR MASS MAKING!! 🤭😄 But seriously, I am crazy in love with these little guys! I hope you're seeing signs of spring! I'd like to see a video of nature around your place. ❤❤❤

i love this idea. I am not so good with making dangles. This is can be made a dangle without having to use other materials.

Great little project!

I saw your first video where you said that you don't care for mass making. I instantly identified with that! I fell into the trap of doing that and found the joy of creating a journal was gone. I just quickly made something that I didn't pour my artistic creativity into. Now if I watch a creator who mass makes things I only make one or a few that will be lovingly placed into a journal. I have wondered if some people don't consider junk journaling as art? Like just gluing and pasting and mass making everything for an entire journal in an afternoon. Those can be lovely but I don't feel like they have an artists touch like the journals you make. I appreciate your process and that not all of your videos are aimed towards beginners. Thanks for challenging those of us who have been creating for many years. It is nice to have fresh inspiration after so many years.

I do like this concept

You have inspired me! I got out my garden catalog and started tearing out florals to make stickers of for my next misc ephemera collage... love your creations!

Hi Luise. I completely get what you're saying about mass making. I can't do it either. And I do not class what you did here as your typical mass make it's mass because of the quantity you have at the end but none of your individual pieces looks remotely the same. Love it !

So cute! I love these!

Each of us are artists and we all create differently. Teaching others with the freedom of doing it their own way gives them the opportunity to see where they bloom. I am not big on mass making either but for some it is their happy place. You do a wonderful job teaching with options that fit everyone. You have taught me so much and I apply it in my own way. Keep being you!!

OK LUISE, KEEP SPREEDING THE JOY & KEEP DOING YOU!!!! Do take care. USA

I haven't even watched the video yet! But I am loving the comments.🤩 And I already know I love EVERYTHING you create, Luise.💗

❤❤❤❤love this....❤❤

Watching your video, I came up with a cool idea about those translucent washi stickers: before you peel off the acetate backing, trace the reverse sticker image, with a black permanent marker, onto the acetate, then peel it off, and you have a transparent element of the sticker also to use!!!

That's a brilliant idea!

I enjoyed watching you play around with these.. I had seen the first time you discovered it and was happy to see you re-visit the 'technique'. As far as my opinion goes... I think it's a bit of both... if one of your viewers has an idea to work with or in combination with an idea you have/had, then I'd like to see it, because it may help all of us, you and the viewers, discover something new. But yes, in the end, I think you have to like the idea or technique too, otherwise you would not do/use it again, and I also think if you don't like it, your heart/soul wouldn't be in it so you might not 'give it your all' as the saying goes. Sometimes we see a technique that is not a favorite, but I try it and change it a bit and put my own 'touch' to it and end up with something we truly treasure.

Cool! Thanks!

💜💜💜

Spreading joy one little button tag at a time!

This is the perfect project to get me back into my craft room. And...it reminded me of my forgotten purchase of Tim Holtz stamps sets, including field notes that I haven't used yet.

This is great 😊

❤

We all have to do what makes us happy when making our art. I like to start with a base like circles then go in different directions to play what come to mind. Love your ideas. You follow do you. Thank you for being you.❤

Yes this is going to make me happy. This tutorial is just what I need. I can feel your happiness Luise .❤ just brilliant.

I love your creativity, and I'm with you, I can not mass make, as I never know what I'll need for any of my projects in colour or style! You dont have to say anything about your process, as we all say, you do you! and we all love you for it!

Dearest Luise, since English is not our mother language, my listening had got between "mask" and "mass"making.... lol. Then I've read all the prior comments before mine to check if someone's got the same feeling I've had and I only had seen "mass" making. Anyways, in my humble opinion, You are an UNIQUENESS-GREAT-TALENTED MAKER/ARTIST!!!! I do understand the need of mass production sometimes but you are able to do it as we all are: uniqueness, single Human beings! I do admire your particular style! TKS for sharing your shinning soul! LOVE , from 💚💛🐝❣

I love listening to you speak. Your voice and accent is beautiful and i could listen to you all day! ❤ I love your artwork just as much! HUGE Hugs from central USA.

I ❤ what you have done❤ Great job😂

Luise, such a brilliant idea, you always do a great job, big hugs. :)

I’m going through my stamps and seeing what I can find to do something similar. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have to agree with you Luise! I have tried to "mass make" and I get either bored or frustrated! I started out making cards a long time ago and don't do that any more and I couldn't stand making given 2 with same stamp or paper. I like the details and imagination finishing 1 completely! Then I have to put everything away and start the next one. I think I could do this like you said, the combo of colors, I probably wouldn't do 10, the most I can do of something is 3!!!!! It takes me hours just to make 3 tags, cuz I have to complete 1 at a time! I am weird!!!! Like you, people that can mass make things have a lot of patience. I have watched some ladies make maybe 12 "bases" of a type of say envelope and the decorate just 1. I can't do that either!!!! I get too overwhelmed!!

I like these and don’t really care what you call the process.

When I “mass make”. I will make items decorated for ongoing and upcoming projects. Most of my items are made, but I do not decorate otherwise until I am actually working on a project. But I make my bases and experiment with new techniques when I “mass make”. I also try to do at least one per season because for instance during fall and Christmas, I like to have some premade things because I easily get bored making gift tags for instance for everyone’s gift. This next year I will be making advent calendars for each of my families households. So, that is 14 households. So, I have already designed on paper each of those advent calendars to look different, so each month I sit down and mass make the components of same techniques, but decorate them each differently and individually. I have it all planned so that all the advent calendars are finished and in the mail to the various family households so they receive them by thanksgiving g day. As a thanksgiving gift of sorts as we all decorate for Christmas on the day after Thanksgiving. If I did not do a “mass make” of the Christmas items each year, including my gift tags and cards then none of it would ever get done. But none of those things ever turn out as “creative” as my other items. But I do mass make I undecorated bases to have on hand.

Love this sticker mini series Luise! I am wondering what happened to your black glass mat?! It looks like it survived a craft war, poor thing…… 😂

This is brilliant! All kinds of ideas come to mind using this technique. I agree with your opinion on mass-making, I don’t think this qualifies.

I think we get what you mean, as others said you don't have to justify anything. "Mass make" can imply a mass-production mindset, meaning just plow through an assembly line that is predetermined and doesn't need thought about each particular item. I get that you are saying you don't like the idea of doing that for yourself, you want to pay attention to each item and make changes etc. I think most creatives are that way, even when trying to build up the stash by making multiples and trying to make it more efficient by doing it in steps, they are paying attention to making each one right. This doesn't apply to the "grab and stick without overthinking it" type of projects, the benefit of which is exactly that - not overthinking it - and those are good for when you are paralyzed by perfectionism which does happen to a lot of creative personalities too. But mostly whether it is called building your stash, or mass making, it is just fun to make things that don't have to be part of a larger project, that you can get done and enjoy on their own, and then have them on hand when you are later making a journal. I love your page tabs and these little embellishments, and how happy you are about finding something new.

I get what you’re saying about mass making because I feel like it isn’t as fun and it ruins my creative process. I think it’s because mass making and repetitive tasks are left brained (logical) activities instead of right brained (creative) activities. Too many logical activities inhibit my mojo.

I may have a different understanding of mass making. I might spend time cutting or inking or making lots of bits a pieces, but they aren’t the same. Maybe I don’t know what it is. I do hear about mass producing cards, for example. I never think that applies to me because I don’t make items to sell. I don’t even make the same Christmas card for the (admittedly few) people I send them to. They’re all different designs. I don’t mind spending a lot of time working on pieces though, without knowing whether they’ll be part of a specific project.

👀 Oo. These look cool! And I’m with you. I hate making the same thing twice, but having these little variations does give you more options to use them. And since when did Glossy Accents come in crackle??? 😱

I agree with you about mass making. It bores me.

Luise i just wanted you to know i did not freak my freak despite what you hear

I was so confused. I thought those white stickers were stamps. Im like why is she stamping on a stamp. Then of course i opened my ears and paid attention....yikes...getting old is tough😂😂😂now i know why youvsay dont freak your freak thstscexactly what i did. You are so very cute. Obviously I would never had thought to do this but i really like it❤thats why i dont use digitals. I like my ephemera to fit my page. But to mass make cut tags and and decorate to a point then finish for the particular journal is fine with me.😊 to tell you the truthe im gettingva little sick of the tim Holts stamps. Everone uses the field notes and im a little bored with them. No offense timmy

I have the same opinion as you when it comes to “mass making”. That’s why everyone’s stuff all looks the same. BORING
