Supplies used.

• 1 sheet of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper
• Paper cutter
• Book Pages
• Scoring Tool
• Aleene’s Tacky Glue
• Distress Ink Walnut Stain
• Blending Tool
• French Words from Calico Collage
• Scrap of Fabric
• Sewing Machine
• Bird Nest and Egg Cube
• Warbler Stamp
• Archival Ink
• Bird Silhouette Cube
• Amarillo Rose Digital Journal Kits
• Cut and Create Amarillo Rose Ephemera Book

To begin, select a full sheet of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper.  From the top score at 7.5 inches. Then rotate the page and cut two inches from the bottom. Score half an inch from the bottom after making the cut. 

Fold up the bottom which becomes a pocket for the inside of the folio. 

Turn the page right side up (pocket will be face down on your surface) Score from the right edge at 5 inches and again at 10 inches.

Here is a template to help with where to cut and score the page.

Cut the 2 x 12 inch strip down to be 7.25 inches. This will become a pocket.

Decorate the folio with sewing and stamping. It is fun to add some stamping to the inside of the folio. Another option is to decorate the inside with scrapbook paper, or leave plain for additional writing space. 

Add journal cards and tags to the pockets. I used some of the Amarillo Rose Digital kit from Calico Collage. There is also a Cut and Create Ephemera book from Calico Collage that can be used, especially for those who don’t have a printer.

Adhere the pocket to the front. Use a mason jar journal tag in the front pocket to keep the folio closed.

So many goodies can be added to this folio. Since I created this to fit inside a pocket of my journal I kept it somewhat simple so that it wasn’t too thick.

This One Sheet Folio would make a great gift to send to a friend.

Supplies Used for the Masterboard Into Junk Journal Elements Tutorial

• Scraps of Papers (Gel Prints, Painted Papers, Book pages, Digital Images)
• Aleene’s Tacky Glue  (glue sponge)
• Foundation paper (I used a book page)
• Ranger Archival Ink, Jet Black
• Three Leaves Stamp 
• Butterfly LG Stamp 
• CFF613G Sunkissed Cube 
• Dog Rose Stamp 
• Beach Rose Small 
• Fiskars Easy Action Scissors 
• Versamark Watermark Ink Pad 
• 1912 Stamp 
• Corner Roses Stamp 
• Gold Embossing Powder 
• Fiskars paper Trimmer 
• Bella Rose Med stamp 
• Digital Images from Calico Collage
• WH152A Love flows quietly Stamp 
• WH142D Never Stop Exploring QT 
• Distress Ink Walnut Stain 
• Blending Tool 

Pull out those scraps and get started. Sometimes I like to pull papers that coordinate and other times I pick random papers. Since I wanted to make a few items to go with a journal I’m creating I decided to pick papers that went together.

Adhere papers to a base paper. I chose to use a book page as my base, but you can use junk mail or anything you like.

Once all the papers have been adhered to the page it is time to add some interest with rubber stamps.  I like to pick patterns that I feel will look pretty over printed papers.

Adding gold embossing powder to the last layer of stamped images gives a beautiful shimmer.

Now that all the stamping is done it is time to cut up the page.

Some of the ways to use this page is to create pockets, journal cards and more as seen below.

Corner Pocket / tuck spots are a great way to hold additional journal cards

Traditional Pocket and Belly Band

Tall Journal cards

Lots of goodies can be made from one Masterboard.

Create your own Masterboard, take a photo before you cut it up. Then cut it up and make elements and take another photo. Share these photos inside the Event for the May 2022 Challenge Friendly Junk Journal People Facebook Group. Then the first week of June I will draw a random person who submitted their project to win a $10 off coupon to my shop.
