Supplies used for the Flip Through of Two Autumn Junk Journals.

    During the live stream Linda created two Autumn junk journals. She added fall mixed media pages, rubber stamps, stencils and more with the Simply Autumn and Autumn Breeze digital journal kit downloads by Calico Collage

    Using the Sumac Elderberry rubber stamp with the Fall Mixed Media Digital download, when sprayed with the Halloween Orange Tattered Angel Glimmer Mist. The result gives it a pretty autumn look to the pocket.

    As shown on this journal page, the  Maple Leaf Stencil was used on tea dyed paper and the mixed media pocket was created using the Retro Panel 1 stencil.

    Using a book page and the Maple Leaves Stencil and then paired with images from the Simply Autumn digital download by Calico Collage. The result gives the pages the look of autumn leaves falling from the trees.

    Layering book pages with the digital images from the Simply Autumn kit makes a pretty pocket.

    On this page, the Tree Line Stamp was used. Paired with the Journal Line Stencil along with the Crimson and Halloween Orange Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, I hope you would agree that they create a bright and vibrant journal page.

    Linda used the Oak leaf Stencil to create this fall mixed media page. She used the Crimson and Sun Sisters Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

    For the second journal, Linda choose to use the Autumn Breeze digital kit by Calico Collage. This is another beautiful digital journal kit if you are creating a fall journal.

     

     

    Using the Large Diamond Stencil this mixed media journal page was created. An Autumn leaves collage digital image by Calico Collage is a pretty add on image in keeping with the Autumn theme.

    Autumn is the time of year for warm colors and wonderful smells of the season. What do you enjoy the most about this season?

    Over the page Notepad Tutorial is a great way to add writing space to a journal. This removable stack of papers adds a pretty collection of papers to write upon.

    Supplies used.
    Over the page Notepad Tutorial
    Select a piece of cardstock for the notepad base. In my case I used a 5.25×11 inch piece of paper. Score the top edge so that it is shorter than the height of your page, I scored mine at 8.25 inches.

    Dig through your stash and pull out papers that you like. Sheet music, Tattered Angles Dyed Paper along with other papers give a great variety.

    Over the page Notepad Tutorial

    Stack the papers along the score line, but not over the score. These can be glued or use a paperclip to hold them in place. Once all the papers are stacked add a piece of lace and then sew along the top of the stack.

    Over the page Notepad Tutorial

    Add decorations to the page, like stickers and stamps.

    Over the page Notepad Tutorial

    Decorate the base page with distress ink and a page from a tear off notepad. Attach the notepad paper with washi tape. A great way to use up that stash of washi tape! If you don’t have washi tape, you could always use a strip of paper. Further decorate by layering the word Journal over a scrap of fabric in the lower right corner.

    Over the page Notepad Tutorial

    Create an altered paperclip with scraps of lace. I like sewing the lace so that it stays flat and doesn’t add too much bulk to my journal.

    Over the page Notepad Tutorial

    Slide the notepad over the page and secure with the altered paperclip.

    Was the Over the page Notepad Tutorial helpful to give you ideas of adding more writing space? Once you start making these you can see how it would be easy to just spend a day creating these notepads to add to other journals.

    Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box

    In this post I’m Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box. I’ve been saving the boxes from the Instant Ink program and decided that I would try to use one for a junk journal.  The idea came about after I cut the top off of a couple of boxes to use for storage in a drawer.

    Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box Part 1 Tutorial Video. In this video I show how I used the cut tops from the box to create the cover and then create a couple of journal pages and a tassel.

    Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box Part 2 Tutorial video. This video shows how I made several pages and then bound the journal inserts into the cover.

    Supplies used:
    To get started on this journal select items for the cover, In my case I used an instant ink box from HP. But look around your home, you may have another box you can use. Don’t limit yourself, there are so many things you can use!

    Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box

    Adhere papers to the cover. If using corrugated cardboard I like to cover it with a random paper – like book pages. This helps cover the texture that corrugated cardboard can have. I don’t want to see that texture in my cover. If you like that texture, then add items as you see fit.

    Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box

    Decorate the cover, adding any embellishments you like. For the inside I used some scrapbook paper and added pockets. I really love the unicorns in the fairytale collection from Calico Collage. She did a beautiful job creating this kit!

    When I create my journal pages I use the size of the cover as a guide. My pages are a fraction of an inch smaller than the cover so I know everything will fit inside the journal. I also like to create my pages flat and then assemble the journal.

    Grab those stamps, stencils and more to create beautiful layered pages. I love mixing Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, with stamping and stencils.

    Even a paint chip from the hardware store can make a useful belly band in a journal. Look at things you find around you to see how these can be used in a journal.

    Lace is always fun to add to journals too. I prefer to collect ivory and white lace because it is easy to alter the color. Check out thrift stores for old wedding gowns and lace table cloths. Those can be cut up and used in journals.

    Bellyband with Flip and Pockets Tutorial

    Bellyband with Flip and Pockets Tutorial, showing how to use up scraps of gel prints and other papers to create a beautiful interactive belly band.

    To begin the Bellyband with Flip and Pockets Tutorial, start with a sheet of paper that measures 11 x 8.5 inches. This can be any paper, in my case it was a sheet that my mother in law gave me and it was a dark manila.

    Score at 4.25 inches and again about 2.75 inches from the other end. Look at the diagram below to see where to score. You can also make it any size you like. If your journal card is smaller then you can make a smaller space for the pocket.

    Bellyband with Flip and Pockets Tutorial

    Fold over the first flap at the score line. Next, fold over the second flap. It may need to be adjusted depending on how deep you made the first score line.

    Since I wanted my first flap to be able to hold a card that measured 4 x 8 inches I added a strip of paper. Cut a strip 1 inch by 8.5 inches and glue it from top to bottom about half an inch in to create a tab for the pocket.

    Now you have a base to decorate. Cut pieces of paper to decorate and create pockets. In the video I created two pockets for the smaller flap and one for the wider flap.

    Once all the pockets have been created adhere to the base. Now you can fill the pockets.

    Supplies used:
    In the image below you can see all the goodies I added to the top pockets.

    For the inside of the flap I decided not to decorate it, but you can add anything you like.

    Lots of goodies for the pockets here. A mini journal, tag and an altered paint chip.

    The band that holds the flip out is a two inch strip of paper that I attached scraps to and then sewed around each scrap. It measures 4.25 inches on each side.

    Using Velcro I attached the strips together and then folded the excess around to the back. Then I glued the pieces on the back and to help keep it smooth I applied a piece of packing tape.
