Your paperclip idea is genius. I noticed so many KZread 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!

Great, great video. Just what needed, included more than a couple of laughs.

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 KZread! 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 KZread. 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.🙏🏻🖖🏻🤭 Ps This is one of the reasons I don’t comment much📣📣📣🤐

So.. what type of printer do you have that allows for a 12x12 print?? Great ideas! Thank you!

@sparkbirdstudios

Жыл бұрын

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.

with me its bring out a needle and my eyes stop working, I go cross eyed and everything goes blurry. I used to pride myself on how easy I used to be able to thread a needle 😂

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.
