My Unfinished Projects Have Their Own Shed! | Junk Journal Catch-Up & Upcycling shopping bag

Welcome to my garden shed of later, guys. This is my shed I had to uh put together lately for all my I will later do them projects. As you can see, it's filled with boxes which were previously in my craft room. And because lately I kind of had a hard time to walk through this shed happen. Hello and welcome everybody. Welcome back to my channel. It's Eva from Bohemian Crafting here again. I'm coming to share with you today my new digital kit. also my new digital kit as a freebie for all of you. It's already listed on my Patreon and also some projects which I made in the past few days along of building my crafting shed or storing shed. Uh I'm going to be talking a little bit and bulk you through to this collection and it was very much inspired by a really beautiful generous gift from my neighbors who came to visit us and they bring what they did plant actually uh they did plant uh potatoes, raspberries and blackberries and they bring baskets with all these goodies to us and it was such a lovely gift and that gave me inspiration to create a digital collection which I will use uh for creating photo album for them for my beautiful neighbors. I already tried that photo album. It end up also in my shed because it didn't go well. I had to change it. So, it's in those unfinished projects which are now in my shed of later. I've been chatting about this one with my amazing patreons and uh if you do like beautiful crafty humor go to have a look on my patreon site that post it uh public post and I think you will enjoy all comments there uh everything what we wrote to each other it was very cheerful and I can't express enough how much I am grateful for my patreons they amazing bunch of people very uh kind loving and very funny and I love them so much. So these papers you can see which I am flipping through they are from my new collection Bramble book and as I said it's inspired by the gift I received from my neighbors and also by the bush of uh blackberries I do have in my garden. And very next to my shed, I do have these beautiful blackberries. Look at them. It's not many, but I do have Don't eat it. That's mine. Chase like them, too. Look at them. Past two weeks I've been sorting boxes and box which will go to my later shed and which will stay in my room. I do have uh loads of things to sort it out already but there are still few little boxes and few bucks which I need to finish. And because it was uh time of reorganizing and making my room supportive for my creativity, I've been also decorating and remaking some some of my uh storage boxes like is this clear one. I found it on Teemo and I really like the size. So I decided to change it into look of museum those vitin cabinets or draws. Uh I decided to also fill it the boxes with cardboard box like uh the floor. I did used old one and I cut it on pieces which will fit into those little drawers. First I wrapped them in black paper uh as I wanted to have their you know that dramatic look and then I glued over that black paper on one side brown paper and I did distress it with my nail file. So I received this beautiful look and then I went to uh change color on those handles of that box and on kind of like mantels or edges of these boxes. I have used black acrylic paint uh alcohol ink brownie and black and also wonderful Prima Marketing wax that was gift from my amazing gift uh amazing friend Eevee. That was amazing gift really. It's 6 years old and it still works. So to be able to color all these plastic pieces, I had to wipe off any kind of residue from, you know, when they make these these organizers. Then first I used black acrylic paint and once it was dry, I used over it those alcohol inks. It gives beautiful base for that wax. And as I said, this wax is 6 years or maybe even more. Uh definitely six years old and it still works. Really guys, these waxes are amazing. They do make wonderful job on any kind of surfaces. You just need to make sure that you will uh make that surface clean from any kind of oily stuff. I love this bronze color. So, I did use it also on that clear plastic box and uh I did color it also these little bridges on the side and I really love the result. And this is my plastic organizer which will fit into my room much better way than uh if it will be just clean or clear plastic one. I really love this effect of that uh you know that wax on that black painting. It really gives beautiful vintage wipe and I do love this ruler I had for many many years. I found that second one and uh if you did saw my video in the past I think it's already two years when I have made this uh poking tool for journals uh you will recognize that it it is much smaller. It got broken few times actually uh from that original poking tool. I do have this inside only including that tape which you can probably see under my painting. This is from that original also these sides are but I had to cut them down a little bit. This and this it's from that cutting these sides shorter and this and this it's from cutting these sides shorter. They were too much long and it was kind of wiggly all that uh all that credle. I just cut it smaller. I also added cardboard box here and here to kind of make it thicker and look a little bit better. I uh added a lot of hot glue as you can see. Um but painted it actually looks quite well with the painting over it. I need to paint it here few times more. And then I added that ruler. I did used hot glue also for editing that ruler just to make sure it will hold. So there is plenty of hot glue underneath here and over the edge of my uh credle because you know these don't have don't have any any holes for screws. And uh I really like these rulers. I never use them as a ruler. I always use them as a decoration. So now I do have this one and this one. And I love how it looks with all those bits and pieces. Uh if you do like organizers, I will put link down below for this one. And I do have also another one which I actually like very very much. I think it's perfect organizer for open projects for projects for journals we are working on and we do have separate maybe washi tapes, stickers, stamps. This little box has um little organizer here. Then pocket here and then another pocket underneath. Deeper pocket. And I do have there my British papers which I did share a little on my Instagram with these. I did share these papers uh with my patreons and I already also made a little organizer. this little organizer which does have it amazing sliding effect and magnetic pockets here. All of these are magnetic then you can slide it back. Okay. Yeah. If you don't get stuck and close it with this elastic band. So that I made with this uh British British papers or along the British Isles uh papers or I mean that's the name of my collection. I really love this collection. This is inspired by my life here in UK by everything I love about UK about England, Scotland all all United Kingdom you know. So these colors are colors of the United Kingdom flag. I do have that flak everywhere. Actually in this collection there are loads of Yeah, I do have here upside down. Look at that. I didn't notice just now. Whoops. So I do have there so many images with flax and then so many images of the things I really love about UK about England. I think um that so many things which happened here lately are making me to create even more something with uh English theme because England deserves the attention, you know, the good attention. So, I do have this British inspired collection also on my Etsy. My patreons already have it and I'm planning to create journal from that and of course you know iconic uh post box and telephone boots and few images like this and and as a gift I do have for you seven designs for a garden journal. There are some background papers, some ledge papers, and some ts and labels. I just they do have edges. I just forgot to change my settings on my printer. So, it did printed without, you know, from the without border actually. So, the images they do have nice edges. They do have white space around. I just my printer. It's crazy. So, these these will be like a freebie. All the links will be down below. My patreons already has all of these collections. So if you are my Patreon, go to have a look. This is for all of my patreons that berries and the British Isles along the British Isles are for Patreons with tear with digitals. And for today uh I decided I will start to create my pages or start to choose what I will use for my pages. And uh one of the things uh I would like to use is this shopping bag. Actually, it's nice and strong. This is the cooling bag and I don't mind this shiny side because I do believe I will cover it with some kind of decorative paper. I do like that thickness. So, one of the papers in my journals in my journal will be creating from these And the measurement how I should cut this uh shopping bag I will take from another find which I uh got through to my cleaning room or organizing room. I found this stack of envelopes and papers and envelopes and index cards which are prepared for journal. And uh I really like this one. Look at this. They are uh tea dyed, coffee dyed, and they are already with sewing effect these envelopes. So I was thinking one of those um something something pages, pockets. I'm not sure. Uh will be these envelopes actually. And these index cards. Yes, of course. And probably these postcards because I prepared them for something and then they I then then place them in those piles. So now it's later now I'm going to use them. So measurement uh of my journal will be actually this and these sewn and u teedy envelopes. They are DL envelopes and that will be measurement for creating pages from book pages from normal paper for my journal and from this shopping bag. So this will be my measurement. I'm going to tell you this is 8 and 1/2 by 4 and 1/4 or 4 and 38 4 and 3/8 of inch and it is 11 by 22 yeah 11 by 22 cm that's the size of my envelope and that will be the size I will try to get from this paper back. I'm going to speed up that process of making my pages from this shopping bag just because if we will watch it in normal speed, we will all fell in sleep. So uh what I did I took my envelope and I made marks on that shopping bag and then I have cuted strips from that shopping bag in the size of the height of that envelope. Then I took my guillotine, not my guillotine, Tim Holtz guillotine. Brilliant stuff. By the way, if you are looking for some uh stable and really very good quality guillotine, I do recommend Tim Holtz stuff because he always has wonderful quality of supplies. So, I took my guillotine and I have cuted those strips on four and half inches uh pieces from each folded side. And then those pieces between those strips between those ends I guess uh I have scored on my scoring board in the size 4 and 3/4 9 and half I believe and that rest I have just folded down. I will use it as an pocket in the process of creating these uh journal pages because I wanted to have these journal pages uh a little bit decorative and somehow interesting. I also added tabs on the sides. Uh I made three styles of tops. Uh top t top uh bottom tap and middle tap. So in in that journal it should be spread nicely and they should fit really well to you know to do to do beautiful side effect on my journal. That was all what I did with this paperback. And then I started to mix these uh shopping back pages with those envelopes and graph papers and postmarks which I found through to my cleaning process. I do have prepared pages for my journal. Uh I have added here this graph paper. I do have here those uh sewn around envelopes. Those pages from box and I also added uh papers I have printed long time ago. I think it was keto diet I think. So yeah, calories some recipes. So I did print it out this one very long time ago. So I do have some of these pages um left. I think I did print that out twice and I'm going to be using them here. Just don't want to read it off. You know, they do have that beautiful old color already yellowed. And here it's that rest from my shopping bag. Then another envelope. And then is end of that graph paper. And I did mix all these envelopes, papers, also postcards in some little bunches. And I will work through and embellish them, put them together in some signatures. And I'm thinking to do maybe this first one right now, decorate it somehow. So for this first opening, uh I decided to use first my embossing folder, I have found this one on Amazon. It does have uh window arc and it is from uh crafter's companion and I never used that. I just received that a few days ago. So I'm going to be using that and I will see how that will go. Where I should open it? probably here. Woohoo. Looks good. And it will fit here just exactly. So, I'm going to use that embossing folder right there. You will see it does look cute. So now I'm going to cut the window. So I'm going to cut between these sides and cut slightly here. Keep just this one uh intact with the sides here. I'm going to cut. So uh the sides of the window will be able to open. And I'm going to also cut separate window slots and then I will replace it with acetate sheet. So first I'm going to cut straight lines between this Going to flip it over. Place double-sided tape. And now I'm going to cut those windows in between. So I do have cuted window and I do have opening. Now I'm going to grab one uh acetate sheet. This is from some old uh photo album. So, I saved these acetate pieces because they do have beautiful texture. So, I'm going to use it here and I'm just going to glue it over that window. So, I do have acetate in those windows window frames. And I'm thinking to put another acetate here as well to that window because then from this side uh I would like to have a pocket actually. So now I'm going to put one piece of acetate here over over that old window. So I do have piece of acetate here as well. Now, I do have uh paper on these sides here. I made it slightly longer, but I don't have to cover all the way. Uh I'm going to be using this paper from my collection. And I will just place it over it. I will use my sewing machine and sew it here and on the bottom. And of course that lef over I will just cut off and probably use on other side because this could be really nice in there. So before I will glue it down I did facic cut it out this corner flower including all those leaves because it looks really beautiful here at the front. I will and it actually sits exactly on that spot which is perfect. So, I'm going to be using this one here. And here I will need it slightly longer. So, I did glue piece of paper underneath. And what I did fussy cut it out from the bottom of this uh sheet. I'm going to actually glue here kind of extend this side. from before. I had uh decorated one coin envelope with this uh blueberries, blackberries paper and I decided to use it as a pocket on this page. And uh I also wanted to add there some decorative element and I do love look of metal piece. So I decided to add there uh an eyelet and I end up with two eyelets as a decoration. I will add there later and button. Very next step was little stamping all around with grungy stamp with that texture and few writings. These were I believe sample stamps. And then I just assembled some decorations and inserts. So I do have a little ribbon here. And here I added lace and bhuton. Just very simple decorations. This is also like a pocket. And now I'm going to decorate this front uh with this one. But because it's just, you know, fragile paper. Well, it's strong, but this is very thin. I'm going to reinforce it with uh resin. So, I do have resin over the fruit and I can now glue it right here. So, this is a kind of like reinforcing thing from old uh envelope which came probably from Amazon. I think I'm going to use it right here and I'm going to create one extra pocket. Just going to simply glue this piece. Which way? this way or this way? Well, I like more this color, so I'm going to glue it that way. So, now I can glue it right there. I'm going to cut off this slot here inside. Well, it would be definitely better if I will remember. I do have this stuff and I found this stuff before I glued and sewn this paper down. So I will be able to make these things, these changes easy way. But right now I will just slide in my cutting mat, get up my knife and cut the window here where there is that slot right there. And I do have my pocket. Look at that. I can see through. So I can put some long tack from this side. So for the pocket here, I have this piece of not sure what was that before. Uh but I did use this decorative paper in the background. Then I use this strip from uh printer paper. It's from that um what is what is the word never ending? I don't remember exact name of that paper but I will try to find out and link it down below. And it fits here just exactly so I can decorate it with something. And I'm thinking to use some of these beautiful images of the uh seed pockets fronts. So I'm going to cut it and use something. And because I have printed out these designs on very light paper, that was my kind of like testing print and I don't like to waste my paper. So, I'm going to of course use it. Uh, I back that paper, that print with old file folder in this beautiful brown color. And now I can cut out all images. I'm going to also keep what is around these um seat pockets because there is some writing and uh I added there just because it can make beautiful a little embellishment on my journal pages. So even these side uh strips, these can be used like maybe washi tapes, maybe a little decoration behind the picture. So I can use this as an accordion piece and have it glued here or I can use separate image and just do some layout as an embellishment here. So, I'm going to use this as my embellishment on that. And I'm going to use one of these strips to place them here because every kind of bits and pieces from those printables should be used. There is plenty of things we are wasting in our planet. So let's not to add there even more. Even those small bits and pieces we will save. It's good, you know. It's at least something. This one I'm going to glue here on the bottom. And I'm going to add there some embellishment. This will add thickness and texture. Once it's dry, I'm going to cut these sides. And this I can make it either like pocket or maybe like some opening here. Why not? And for that opening part, I'm going to take this large um index card because I think it will hold really nicely my decorative piece. I'm going to fold that index card the wave where it will make beautiful base for that seat pocket design. I think this one will be just exactly. Show yourself. Yeah, this will be good enough. Use double-sided tape and use it just for gluing it down on my tuck or insert. Now I'm going to cut those corners here and here. And before I will glue it here, I'm going to sewn in this on the top. And I'm going to make it like a pocket from the top. So I will sew it on these three sides like this. Now a little bit more embellishments. I think it will be really good. So, I'm going to add there some washi tape and probably some easy stamping from some of these stamps I do have on on my little carousel. So, I have added washi tapes, some stamping and that um circle from washi tapes actually, which is perfect decoration. So, now I'm going to add their whoops also um eyelet Just poke the hole and fix an eyelet. These are 9 mm eyelets or grooms because they do have that underneath circle this washer or what is it from other side. So these are gmets from a tops. I really like it with that metal on there. So now I can glue it to my little T. So as I said, uh it will be glued with this double-sided tape. First I will cut off this. And now I can glue my little extra here. And before I will add my little tuck, not not so little, long tuck with a little opening uh to my pocket here. I have found in those boxes. I still need to sort out this frame. This is from my green collection but I don't remember exact name of that collection. If I will find it I will link it down below. Uh this frame which is kind of prepared to be used and this is made from uh my son's uh school book. Actually I saved book they had for learning Germany and from book pages of that book or from pages from that book I have made uh some envelopes long time ago. I also I do believe this is coffee dyed with that um tone which is had it has. So, I do believe this is coffee dyed and I made it with that. Oh, yeah. With those pages from that book. Oh my god. So, I'm going to use that here. And I will create some extra opening. I don't know what is going on, guys. Just somehow can't talk. So, I'm going to glue that envelope inside. Going to add a little bit of a glue here. And have you seen new uh Tim Holtz video about Halloween ideology? I need to watch that. I haven't seen it yet. I have to watch that because there is always so much inspiration in these videos. Those makers are awesome. They are very talented and amazing really with all sharing all these ideas. So, I need to watch that video. I'm going to be inspired a little bit. You know, maybe it will help me to sort out more of my scraps. Oh, come on. Sit there. Okay. Like that. Okay. Okay. Yep. I do have that. Now this frame, I'm going to put that frame right here. Glue here, here, and here. And that way I will have kind of like entry from this side. Will be like little pocket. And I'm going to be using double-sided tape to glue it down. And make sure I will don't put more of double-sided tape than I need. just you know flipping the way it will sit actually I'm thinking this way so it will have beautiful frame around here and place it right there like that. Okay, now I can place my tag here and I can either leave it underneath or maybe I can fit here. Oh, just exactly. Look at that. Oh, I didn't plan that. But I really like that that I can fit exactly. Um, if I will have some long paper clip, I can clip it here. I will have to have a look if I do have some longer one. Oh, like is this one? Look at that. Oh, quite big paper clip. I'm going to place it right there. Look at this. Okay, I can hold it this way. Something can be placed also here in this pocket. So, I have added one little paper. I do have here for ages. It's from some old documents. And then this is sticker. It's like frame sticker. I added in this pocket. And then I do have that window. And I found these. I have made these. Oh my god. I think eight years ago maybe maybe even longer. Seven seven years ago I will say probably like something like that. I also shared these designs with my patreons long long time ago. I hope I will still find them in my computer. Uh these are scans of uh those small little cards. You can find that they were like I think with cigarettes or with matches and you can collect these uh little images in like album of these images in collect collectible book or not sure how did the right name of that but I did resize that those images and scan them and resize them to make them like cutie insert for my journals And I have prepared them like uh on a sticker. I do have here double-sided tapes on all of them. So they can be used as a sticker. I'm gonna place it in that window right there. Tada. Tada. There can be place anything, you know. But right now I do have that this one. So I do have my little book done. This I'm going to keep for writing space. And that is my first page of my future bramble book. I do have loads of papers to work with. I do have also my cute organizer to store all these little scraps, bits and pieces. Also for those who like to have some organizers, I will put link down below for this one as well because I think these organizers are just amazing. I do hope you did enjoy the video, short video, short walk through how I made this one. So that's all my sharing for today. Thank you so much for joining me and spending your time with me.
