Select two envelopes that are the same size. Spray with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists. Layer a stencil on top and spray again. Adhere the envelopes together using the flap of one envelope on to attach to the other envelope.

Add a decorative touch using washi tape or strips of paper. Could also stamp a border on each envelope.

Spray Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists on a smaller A2 size envelope or make an envelope to fit your larger envelopes. Add Calico Collage images or even rubber stamped images. Fill the inside with usable journal cards and embellishments.

The invitations I used had cards with pockets. These were perfect to add journal cards and mop page turned into stationary.

    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.

    All About Robins Junk Journal Tutorial

    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.

    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.

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSIbOrXwW9Y?feature=oembed&w=750&h=422]

    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!

    Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box

    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.

    Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box

    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.

    Creating Mini Journal using Instant Ink Box

    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.

    Whatever supplies or style you use to create a journal, just have fun creating! Remember there is no wrong way to make a junk journal. Use what you have on hand, collect things you love and enjoy the process. Have fun creating your own version.
