All About Robins Junk Journal Tutorial

Today is All About Robins Junk Journal Tutorial. As I’ve been cleaning and organizing in my studio / craft space I found some All About Robins items. I also found a journal cover that was given to me and decided that it would be a good time to combine these together to create a junk journal.

Supplies used:

The inside of the cover was decorated by the person who gave me the cover. I decided to leave it as it was and only added to the inside spine since it was blank.

On the right side I stamped the Henna Rose and then layered over the top of the bible page. The Doily was sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and then I stacked a few pages from a tear off notepad that my Mother in  Law gave me a while back. Then over that I added an image from the All About Robins Sub Box and the word inspired that I stamped a long time ago.

I like being able to combine different kits together. On the left I used a page from the Musical Botanical Mini Journal. The bird on the pocket was from a dictionary. Sometimes those dictionaries can have some wonderful images, keep an eye out for them. On the right side was a page where I laid a card down and then sprayed through a stencil. It created the negative space with a border of the stenciled pattern.  This effect is great to create two things at one time. And actually I created three. The base Page, the journal card and a mop up page. Adding the little bird stamp in the corner adds a sweet touch.

I found a package of printed little tags when I was cleaning and thought it would be good to put one on this page. The right side of the page is a piece of tissue that I sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists then Rubber stamped a few flowers with leaves and a text stamp. Then I used watered down Aleen’s Tacky glue and painted a plastic bag, while it was wet I laid the tissue on the glue. Add another layer of glue on the top side, push the edges in to create texture so it is easy to pull up then allow to dry.  Doing this technique strengthens the tissue paper and makes a cool crinkle sound when added to a journal.

The featured thumbnail shows an All About Robins Page on the left. Then on the right side I used the Feeding Frenzy Stencil with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists on a pink text weight paper. Layered in the corner is an image from the All About Robins Kit. Inside the pocket  are some tags that were given to me.

Adding a simple pocket to a book page looks pretty. I’m glad that I kept some scraps from a project I made a while back. The colors in the pieces all seemed to work well together and these were all from different creative sessions.

I’m so thankful to my friends who send items to me. Many times I remember who gave them to me and many times I do not. Hopefully if you gave items to me you will understand that sometimes it is hard to keep track of everything. So thank you for your gifts. The dear head note pad paper was one of these gifts. Beside it I used a scrap of napkin that was adhered to a book page. I thought it blended well together. On the right was a stenciled page I created during the video. Using Distress Oxide inks and a blending tool I added lots of color then I sprayed with a couple of colors of Tattered Angels Glimmer mists. The stamped flower and text was the final touch to the page.

Inspired by a journal card that Norella of Calico Collage created for her Amarillo Rose Kit I made my own version using stamps and coffee dyed paper. I also used some scrapbook paper and a digital copy of one of my gel prints.

Sometimes you have to be creative when you want to use something that doesn’t fit on a journal page. I really liked this stationary page, but it was too wide to fit on the page. So I cut off the sides and then realized that I could glue them back on and it would fit on the page. Get creative with what you have!

All About Robins Junk Journal Tutorial

Layered pockets are fun to add in a journal. I used a strip of scrapbook paper to create a vertical pocket and then layered on of the All About Robins images as a horizontal pocket. The tag was a printed dictionary paper that was given to me and I just layered some scraps and an image from a dictionary on top.

A belly band is a great way to add something thick to a journal. I made the little folio a while back and thought it would be a pretty addition to this junk journal. It is full of little items to use for journaling.

The back inside cover was pretty as it was, but I wanted to cover up the brand name of the cover and add a pocket. The pink foil cardstock scrap that was given to me was perfect for this spot. I then added a tag from Calico Collage’s Amirillo Rose and one from the All About Robins kit.

How to...

Using Musical Botanica Chipboard Pieces on a Journal Page

Using Musical Botanica Chipboard Pieces on a Journal Page. In this tutorial I’ll share how to use the laser cut chipboard pieces from the Musical Botanica Creative Kit on a Journal Page.

Supplies used.
The first thing I do is select which pieces I want to use and paint them with white acrylic craft paint. Since the chipboard is brown any color that is put on top will take on a dark hew. So by coating it first with one or two layers of white paint allows the colors to show.

Once the white paint is dry then I select what I want to color the chipboard. Today I used the Musical Botanica Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist kit and sprayed some on the chipboard.

I also used acrylic craft paint on one of the pieces.

Using Musical Botanica Chipboard Pieces on a Journal Page

Select a book page and a music sheet to use for the page. Using the book page fold it so that it becomes a pocket. Add color to the page using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists. Then add a pattern using the full stencil from the Musical Botanica Creative Kit.

If you like the vintage distressed look add distressed walnut stain to all the edges.

Optional, sew around the outside edge of the pocket and then across the bottom to frame the pocket. Can always use a rubber stamp to create faux stitches or even use a border stamp.

Using a piece of hymnal book page create a matt to go behind the chipboard pieces. This will be used to give more body and layer over the pocket. I like to glue book pages to thinner book pages to give them more strength. Add stitching around these new matt pieces.

Using Musical Botanica Chipboard Pieces on a Journal Page

Create the stamped sentiment using Music Is and Music in the Soul rubber stamps. I use Archival Ink Jet Black when stamping. Cut down and add distress ink to walnut stain the edges.

Layer the elements on the pocket, use the Flax stamped and water colored image, thread, butterfly sticker to create dimension and interest.

Apply distress oxide ink Seedless Preserves directly on the sheet music and then through the Stencil to create a pattern in the background.

Stamp the Henna Rose Stamp around the edges of the pink tear off note paper. If you don’t have these little note pads, look to see what you have in your stash. Adding color to plain notebook paper is a great way to change those up.

Adhere the flip out pocket to the sheet music. Using Fabri Tac glue adhere the lace down the outside edge. Select another tear off note paper and a fussy cut Coneflowers stamped image to layer around the page.

Using Musical Botanica Chipboard Pieces on a Journal Page

Apply the round treble clef over the hymnal scrap and adhere to the corner.

Put one of the printed journal cards from the Musical Botanica creative kit inside the pocket and then select a plain ivory card to decorate.

Adhere coffee dyed paper to the back of a set of four connected tickets. Stamp the Heart Music stamp on top and then layer a butterfly sticker. Inside stamp the treble clef.

On the plain ivory card use the swirls and music stamp to stamp at the top. Apply a musical instrument sticker (found at Dollar Tree). Add a little Bella rose stamped image at the top corner.

Fold a piece of craft cardstock ATC card in half to make a little card. Apply a water colored flower image on the outside and then apply the small Journal QT stamp on top.

How to...

Layered Paint Gel Print Tutorial

In this Layered Paint Gel Print Tutorial I’ll show how to layer different colors of paint using stencils, stamps and other objects to create a unique gel print. In fact I turned this gel print into a digital download.

Layered Paint Gel Print Tutorial

Layered Paint Gel Print Tutorial Video

Supplies used for the Layered Paint Gel Print Tutorial

When wanting a layered look in a gel print it is important that you let each layer of paint dry before adding the next layer. Sure you can keep going in the wet paint, but it will blur the images and could blend into mud.

The first stencil is from the Wild and Free Creative Subscription Box. I used it with a turquoise green paint in a random fashion. Pick up the stencil and move it to a different section if using a large gel plate. If you use a smaller gel plate you can lay the stencil over the whole gel plate and then add paint where you want it to show.

Repeat the stencil process using the Flowers and Vines stencil. Allow the paint to dry before moving on to the next layer.

For the next layer I used the Diamond Bar Rubber stamp. It is easier to load the stamp with paint using a brayer. If you don’t have a second gel plate like I used, then grab some book pages and brayer the paint out to use as a paint pallet. When you are done using the stamp clean it so that the paint doesn’t dry on the stamp image.

Objects are great for adding texture to a gel print. Look around at what you might have on hand. Good rule of thumb, if it can cut or gouge your gel plate, don’t us it to make marks. Bubble wrap, empty thread spools and more make great items to use.

Once all the marks have been added to the gel plate allow the paint to dry. This may take a few minutes or longer. It depends on how dry your studio is or how much paint you used.

When the paint is dry load the gel plate with the lifting color(s). In my case I used two colors and blended these together.

Use a book page or your favorite paper to lift the gel print. Smooth the paper with your hands or a brayer. Then carefully lift the paper from the gel plate.
