You can see how I put this hinge spine journal together on the longer video.
This is also my very first time using the Mini Cinch, and things don't go exactly as planned! Instead of starting over, I show you the mistake I made, how I fixed it, and why I think it's important to remember that crafting doesn't have to be perfect.
Whether you're new to the Mini Cinch or looking for fun patriotic paper craft ideas, I hope this project inspires you to create your own custom notepads.

I wanted to make something patriotic, and “USA” was the perfect choice. Just a little resin, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of red, white, and blue. ❤️🤍💙
We'll build the journal from start to finish and add a variety of interactive elements including pockets, flip-outs, tuck spots, and pages in different sizes to make the journal both beautiful and functional. This project is a wonderful way to use those patriotic paper collections while creating a keepsake you can enjoy for years to come.
Whether you're new to journal making or an experienced paper crafter, I hope this project inspires you to create your own memory journal for summer celebrations, family gatherings, vacations, or everyday moments worth remembering.

I'll walk you through the entire process step-by-step, sharing what worked, what I'd do differently next time, and a few lessons learned along the way. This project was inspired by the beautiful Craft Room paper collection from Echo Park Paper and is perfect for adding to gifts, journals, scrapbook layouts, happy mail, and more.
If you've ever wondered whether you really need acetate for shaker projects, this tutorial may give you another option using supplies you already have on hand!

Using silhouettes like butterflies, cupcakes, elephants, trucks, keys, and more, I'll show you how to trace around cardstock shapes with a Fuse Tool to create custom shaker embellishments. Fill them with sequins, beads, confetti, or other shaker bits, then use them on cards, gift tags, scrapbook layouts, journals, planners, mini albums, and other papercrafting projects.
One of my favorite things about this technique is how easy it is to customize for any theme, holiday, occasion, or recipient. Whether you're creating birthday projects, baby albums, school crafts, or everyday embellishments, these shaker shapes can be adapted to fit almost any project.

These DIY shakers are quick to make, beginner-friendly, and one of my favorite low-mess crafting ideas because you can easily open them back up to add more sequins, confetti, beads, die cuts, or colorful shaker bits anytime you want. No special tools or heat tools required!
I’ll show you how I made 5 different shaker projects using clear adhesive cello bags, decorative papers, sequins, and embellishments to create bright and colorful handmade accents perfect for:
• Handmade greeting cards
• Gift tags
• Junk journals
• Scrapbook layouts
• Mini albums
• Happy mail and swaps
• Craft fair ideas
If you love using a Fuse Tool like I do, this is such a fun alternative method to try when you want a faster and more flexible shaker project!

One of my favorite things about this project is that you can customize the inside of the shaker with more than just sequins. I’m also using die cuts both inside and outside the tags for extra texture and detail. These would be perfect for happy mail, junk journals, gifts, mini albums, cardmaking, and more!

I just trimmed off one flap and suddenly it became the perfect card with a pocket for cash, a gift card, or a sweet note inside 🎁
Honestly such a fun way to level up a simple card base using supplies you probably already have ✨
If you’ve got paper pads sitting in your stash, this is such an easy way to turn those cut-aparts into interactive shaker tags. I’ll walk you through how I fuse the page protector, add sequins, and finish everything off with a reinforced eyelet and a pretty ribbon tassel.

I’ll walk you step-by-step through the scoring, cutting, and assembly so you can create this 7" x 5" folder with confidence. This is one of those projects that looks a little fancy when it’s finished, but I promise…it’s very beginner-friendly.

We’re using simple letter stencils that I created from a printable (just using a font -- League Spartan (217) -- and cardstock), and then turning them into custom shaker letters filled with glitter, sequins, and even little clay bits.
These are perfect for:
- gift bag tags 🎁
- bookmarks 📚

- scrapbook or mini album embellishments ✂️
…and honestly, there are so many different ways you could use these!
Now, this is one of those projects where we kind of work step-by-step, test things out, and adjust as we go—but don’t worry, I’ll walk you through everything along the way (and we’ll fix anything that needs fixing 😉).

Each bookmark measures approximately 2" x 6" and is finished with a yarn tassel for a cute handmade touch. I’ll show you three different ways to create shaker-style bookmarks using scrapbook page protectors and the Fuse tool, plus I share some helpful Fuse tool tips along the way.
These are perfect for:
• Easter basket gifts
• Happy mail
• Book club swaps
• Handmade teacher gifts
• Using up small paper scraps
Whether you are new to the Fuse Tool or looking for new ways to use it, these bookmark ideas are simple, fun, and customizable for any theme.
Ways I make bookmarks in this video:
1️⃣ Mostly clear shaker bookmark with a fussy-cut Easter egg and confetti pieces
2️⃣ Patterned paper bookmark sealed inside a page protector with shaker bits
3️⃣ Shaker bookmark with a patterned paper center and clear shaker windows on both ends

For this swap, I went with a fun Easter theme featuring an adorable bunny who looks like he’s falling right into a pot — with his cute little tail sticking out! The bunny image was created using Cricut Design Space, and I finished each ATC by stamping and heat embossing a sentiment across the top for a little extra shine and texture.
ATCs are such a fun way to experiment with designs, techniques, and themes on a small 2.5" x 3.5" canvas, and swaps are a great way to share creativity with other crafters. I hope this project gives you a little inspiration if you participate in ATC swaps or just love making small papercraft pieces!

This easel-style desk holder measures approximately 5" tall x 4 1/4" wide x 1/2" deep, making it the perfect size to hold a standard 3" x 3" sticky note pad and a mini pen. You could even customize the pocket to hold a slightly larger notepad if you’d like!
I used cardstock and decorative patterned paper for mine, but this project is completely customizable — switch up the paper, colors, embellishments, or theme to make it perfect for:
- Teacher gifts
- Coworker gifts
- Craft fair items
- Back-to-school
- Office desk decor
This project is beginner-friendly and a great way to use up your favorite paper stash!

📄 Paper Collection Used:
Valentine's Day by Echo Park Paper: echoparkpaper.com/valentines-day-collection-kit
This album is inspired by the original design of @SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS with my own adaptations added. The accordion foldout creates 13 pages, perfect for photos or journaling cards, and I also included a pocket with an additional fold-over piece for even more space.
Accordion albums are one of my favorite ways to use patterned paper, and this mini size makes it great for gifting, memory keeping, or seasonal décor. Whether you’re documenting Valentine memories or just want a fun paper project, this one comes together beautifully.

In this tutorial, I show how I design and layer Valentine themed bits — hearts, envelopes, XOXO letters, and more — onto a hotel keychain blank and then seal everything in place with a glossy layer of resin. This creates a smooth, durable, high-shine finish that makes these perfect for keychains, bag charms, gifts, and Valentine treats.
These are fun to make for Valentine’s Day gifts, craft fairs, swaps, and even cute additions to cards and treat packaging.

The top portion of the card features a 2026 monthly calendar made by stapling the months together, while the bottom holds a sticky note pad that helps support the easel design. This makes a great desk gift for teachers, coworkers, friends, and anyone who loves handmade paper crafts.
At the beginning of the video, I also share a stackable calendar I created using a Creative Fabrica file, which I’ve previously shared in a short video. (youtube.com/shorts/M9EzwImX540)
This project is easy to customize with different papers, themes, and note pad sizes, and it’s a great way to use up scraps while creating something practical and gift-worthy.

It also makes a perfect handmade Christmas gift—and yes… you definitely need one for yourself, too!
