Why the Cocoa Daisy Deluxe Journaling Kit Always Sells Out

Image
(and Why You’ll Want to Subscribe Before the Next One Drops) If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m a big fan of all things Cocoa Daisy . I’ve used their kits for years in everything from creative planning, journaling and memory keeping. But one kit has my whole heart—and apparently, everyone else’s too—because it always sells out! I’m talking about the Deluxe Journaling Kit . This isn’t just a cute little bundle of stickers and paper (although it has plenty of both). It’s a monthly delivery of calm, creativity, and curated goodness that turns a blank page into a storybook of your life. Let me show you what makes it so special—with a peek inside one of my favorite themes: “Where the Sea Dreams.” ✨ What’s Inside the Deluxe Journaling Kit ? Each month, Cocoa Daisy creates a journaling kit around a theme, and they go all in on the details. The “Where the Sea Dreams” edition featured: Soft watercolor prints in dreamy blues and sandy neutrals *Exclusive Ocean-inspired washi a...

Wet Felted Spheres

Image
This week I start teaching a weekly class at The Minnetonka Center for the Arts about Wet and Dry Felting and wanted to let you in on a little bit of it too. This step by step tutorial teaches you how to make felted balls that will be a component in a necklace which I will show later on. Start with 1/2 oz. corriedale wool. I get mine at one of two places, The Textile Center shop and The Fibers Studio . You can also pick it up on Etsy . This time I am using this variegated dyed one purchased at The Textile Center . The corriedale at The Fiber Studio is a better quality wool but it only comes in solid colors. Trade off, I suppose. The soap is from Kiss My Face , a pure olive oil soap. Fill a bowl with water and place the soap in it and mush it around. I like to do it this way until the soapy water opaque and slightly yellow then I take the bar of soap out. When wet felting if you fill your bowl with warm or hot water it speeds up the process. I want beginners to use room temp water (so...

Stationery kit

Image
The BIGGEST hidden gems within the Stationery Kit is undoubtedly the included vellum and acetate sheets! Using just those 2 sheets I made 5 different projects and I've included 3 just right here! This framed pocket could be my favorite one with it's rounded corners and clear front made from the plastic sleeve the Stationery Kit came in.  I embellished a tag included in the Creative Kit contents where this pocket is also the perfect place to put it's other companion tags within their kraft paper envelope. This scrap piece of vellum is inspired by an envelope flap.  Adhered to the page on its long side it created the intentional landing space for the Flourish Stickers and journal card from the Creative Kit.  Adding a large tag doesn't add to it's functionality, but it sure labels what 'things & stuff' I have tucked away underneath. Spring and hand stitching always makes me feel like a pioneer waiting on the busy season to start.  I easily whip stitched aro...
