Turning Coffee-Dyed Paper into a Shabby Grunge Valentine Policy Pocket

Hey hey In today’s video I’m creating a shabby grunge Valentine policy pocket using coffee-dyed paper and pieces from my shabby grunge digital kit for my Valentine’s junk journal. I love how coffee-dyed paper instantly adds age, softness, and character, and it works perfectly with this romantic, time-worn style. This project was inspired by a fellow creator, @VonsJournalCreations beautiful work. https://youtube.com/@VonsJournalCreations?si=Mxe_ItAu-IicSx0W really encouraged me to revisit policy pockets and play with layering, texture, and muted vintage details. It’s always so lovely how creative inspiration travels through this community 🤍 I’m keeping everything soft, neutral, and imperfect — lace, ephemera, with some heavy grunge, and those little details that make junk journaling feel slow and special. I have tea dyed lots of papers using Oolong tea that gives absolutely amazing results it is listed in my Amazon shop, and I also used some hibiscus tea for the pink affect. I hope this gives you ideas for using your digital kits in a more tactile, handmade way. Grab a cuppa, get cosy, and let’s create together ☕✨ Because the weather has been so bad everywhere, I’ve postponed my stamp release for now, but I still wanted to give you something to play with in the meantime 🤍 So I’ve got some digital kits coming, which I also used in this journal: • a 20-page background paper kit on my Etsy link below • a 30-page ephemera kit on my Etsy link below • and a 5-page freebie on my Kofi link below You can use them exactly how I have here — with scraps, envelopes, scissors and whatever you’ve got to hand. Your homework for the weekend: grab your junk mail, grab your scissors and have a go ✂️💗 Thanks so much for watching and spending a bit of creative time with me so grab a drink and a snack and get cozy 🤍 #junkjournal #vintagecraft #ephemera #papercraft #craftybytoni https://craftybytonistamps.etsy.com My kofi : https://ko-fi.com/craftybytoni Please allow 1-4 working days for packaging I do combine shipping on all international and U.K. orders, shipping cost international shipped tracked and signed for, all uk delivers are sent either 24hr or 48hr tracked delivery My Amazon Store : Check out this page from craftybytoni https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/craftybytoni?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfshop_aipsfcraftybytoni_3ZT6N5BFF11WCDG6CGV8&language=en_US Here's the link for my American Amazon store : Check out this page from craftybytoni https://www.amazon.com/shop/craftybytoni?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfshop_aipsfcraftybytoni_GVVEDD4WBZX1C9V5D5V1&language=en_US Craft with me Playlist : Craft With Me https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmrvj-OcbhgE9Wxgx-RUxz3UYbHO0ZCvZ R These are Amazon affiliate links oh some of my most used products, I earn a commission from any purchases made this doesn’t affect the price you pay but really helps me and supports my channel… Filmed using my iPhone 13 Pro Max & Sony ZV-e10 camera Also used my iPad Pro 12.9’ And Procreate drawing app Socials : https://instagram.com/crafty.by.toni https://vm.TikTok.com/ZMLH59v2u/ https://pin.it/mBzVA10 Thank you so much for joining me I’d love to hear from you in the comments and don’t forget to like and subscribe hitting that bell so you are notified every time I upload
