Thank you so much, I'm really happy you enjoyed the video! ♥ Oh that's so nice! I really want to try stitched notebooks after seeing how beautifully people work with the materials, but I noticed it requires certain mastery that I don't have yet. As a newbie to notebook making, I found that spiral notebooks were easier and a good start, and I love making it. ♥
@@caroljystudios Hiya...stitched are not that hard actually. You already have the most important tool ( the large guillotine ) , after that , it's not complicated. I sometimes stitch mine on a sewing machine, sometimes punch holes and use thread. Even staples at times. On a machine, I only use 15 sheets of 80gsm paper...any more and the machine throws a tantrum. I also support another notebook creator ( we're in Australia). They both stitch and staple theirs. Also, they glue fabric to their cover cardstock, to give them a unique feel. Happy experimenting.
@caroljystudios Just found a video that might be helpful. It's very old, but I found it the most useful. Sea Lemon...12 yrs ago...DIY saddle stitch bookbinding. :)
So cute! I've had a Cinch machine for over a year and I'm finally going to try it out. Question: do you use a laser printer for the cover? Also, could you just have the Cricut cut the tags with rounded corners and the hole? Would save you some work.😊 Love your videos!
@spiritedblossomart Hi there! 💚 I print the cover with my inkjet, and then I print with the laser printer where I want to foil laminate. About the tags, I did change later, and now I get it all done with cricut. It really saves a lot of time 😂 Thank you so much for being here! 💚
@caroljystudios Great job! How do you place the part of the design that is for the laser printer after you’ve printed the inkjet part of the design? Which one first?
@jadestarcrochet Thanks! So, I have the design separated into layers for what goes to inkjet and what goes to laser printer. First, I print on my inkjet, wait for the ink to dry for a little bit, and then I only print the part I want to laminate with my laser printer. After printing with my laser printer, I put the laminate foil over it and pass on my thermal laminator. I could make a video showing the process. It seems complicated, but it's not. 🥰
It's so cool that you make these yourself - they look amazing! Well done. Very relaxing video. 💖 (Ps your cat is beautiful!)
@shinyb4ts Thank you so much! 💚 It makes my day!
And that fluffy is Jasmine, my little inspiration ✨️
omg love how you make everything from scratch!
@socutedoodles Thank you so much! 💚 I love doing things with my own hands. It would probably be faster if I source some of it, but then it's no fun! 🤭

Lovee❤
@@gyenaeo Thanks!! 💚💚💚
I really enjoyed your video. I make the usual ' stitched' A5 notebooks, but I am gravitating more to the spiral version. Well done.

How many pages did you use? What size wire? Love your kitty!
What laminate sheets do you use? Such a beautiful finish 😍
Thank you! 🥰I use thermal laminating film roll 1.2 mil for the cover protection. I got it from amazon ☺
What cardstock are you using for printing the covers? Thank you in advance super cute
@Paperinparadise I use photo paper for the covers, the brand is Canon. Thank you so much! 💚
Love This Video ❤
@@brittanybrown1990 Thank you so much! 💚
Muito top Carol 😊😊😊
Obrigada Tio! ♥
Love your video 🤩. What paper do you print on?
Thank you! 🥰 I use photo paper to print, and then I laminate for protection.
