News and Updates from 1134 Press

You might have noticed, depending how frequently you visit this site, that there have been some changes over the past couple days. In a previous blog post I wrote that we were working on a new look. Well, I’m still working on it. We like the cleaner look of the website, but there are still some more changes I would like to make. I’m sure it will be an ongoing project. So, when you come back next, you will likely notice some more differences—big or small.

In other news, today’s video will be coming up later tonight. Sometimes life has an annoying way of interfering with things. In the meantime, though, check out a playlist! Start with the video below. It’s an oldy but a goody! Scrapbooker on a Budget - Eco Friendly Paper Crafts

Junk Journal with Me: Episode 12

In this week’s Junk Journal with Me video, Bryonna uses ephemera from previous videos to give some more Junk Journalling inspiration. This week’s video is sans commentary. The music, though, is very jazzy; super chill to sit back and watch an awesome spread being made.

Check the video out below!

Earlier this week, we produced a video all about creative ways to use stamps. The fun stuff in this video isn’t limited to using stamps, though. Also watch a specimen card be made and how to create a “window” in your paper craft project. Watching the tutorial is much more enjoyable than reading about it. So, check this one out now!

We hope you enjoy these videos! Subscribe to the channel and catch new ones every Wednesday and Sunday—Thanks!

We're Back!

We’re back, baby! After much effort, we’ve finally gotten to a place with the big studio move where we can get back to business as usual. That was kind of a wordy sentence, but I’m going with it. Grammatical considerations aside, I’m excited for the next chapter in the 1134 Press story; I hope you are too. 

We are looking to add a slightly different style of video to our YouTube repertoire. There will still be the videos that you are already used to, but we are flirting with the idea of including more process-oriented videos; these would be a little shorter and primarily focus on the construction of various papercrafts. 

This week’s video (posted Wednesday evening), is in the style described above. I think the video has a chill vibe and is good inspiration for creativity. Check it out at the link and subscribe if you haven’t already!

Thanks everybody, and we hope you’ve had a happy and safe holiday! 

Making "Happy Mail"

In this week’s video, Bryonna shows how to make a uniquely decorated and designed Happy Mail. A Happy Mail will oftentimes contain a variety of ephemera. This week’s video includes ideas and inspiration for your own Happy Mail ephemera. More paper crafting techniques are also shared.

Have you ever had a pen pal, or created a Happy Mail? If so, we would love to see your story in the comments. We hope you enjoy this week’s video; subscribe if you do!

Eco Dyeing Paper for Receipt Collage

I think our most recent video might be my favorite. Bryonna tries something new this time, and the results are varied. Ultimately, something really cool is produced. Without spoiling anything for the video, I’ll just say it was quite the science experiment.

The video is linked below. Check it out for more paper-crafting inspiration, and learn some fun techniques for eco dyeing paper! Also, the handcrafted receipt dispenser that Bryonna shares at the end of the video is so cool—you have to check it out!
