    It was amazing what happened when you sanded that embossing! That was like a magic trick! The butterfly page was beautiful. You are so clever and creative! Thanks, Kathleen!

    I have seen your emboss and sand many times but I don’t think I have seen you emboss after sanding and then sanding the embossed. So many possibilities. This has been great repurposing of cards.

      Thanks so much Deb! That little bit of sanding at the end really enhances the emboss, though I had to be a bit careful because of the napkin.

    I love using sandpaper, but keep forgetting about it. I really love how everything turned out. Very Lovely. Thank you for sharing these with us. I could cry as I got rid of 99% of my old cards a couple years prior to me starting junk journals. I did get more free ones from the tent not too long ago so now I now what I will do with them TYVMFS ☺♥

    I enjoy so much watching your process and tips, as new to this and watching journal makers it appears that junk journaling requires many expensive pieces of equipment and supplies so your methods like coffee dyeing simplify things thank you

    • @BeAgainBooks
      @BeAgainBooks  9 месяцев назад

      I’m glad this is useful. Yes, there is a very wide variety of books we make, isn’t there and sometimes it is discouraging when we don’t have the right stuff to follow along. I’m pretty much a mixture here. I have some pretty cool stuff, but I also like using junk when I can. Thanks so much for stopping by. I have a playlist of using affordable supplies, etc. if you are looking for that specifically.
