Today I wanted to share a really nice tiny journal you an create using the December Card, Tag and More Kit by Tres Jolie. I love how this turned out. It's definitely got some spaces for journaling, adding small photos and other memorabilia. I hope you enjoy today's tutorial below I have a step by step for you to start the tiny journal but I have more details with my video tutorial.
To start off I used the tiny journal from the April Card Kit. I inked all outside and inked the edges of all the pages using vintage photo ink.
Next I tore my pattern paper into strips and distressed the edges and inked them. Then adhered them on. I thought this was a unique way to add some creativity to the outside cove to our journal.
I both the front and back of the journal like this.
Next I cut all my pattern papers at 4x4 inches there are 14 pieces in all and ink the edges.
Next I started adding the Stamperia chipboard pieces onto the pages. Please view the video tutorial for more details in how I decorated each page.
With this bookcases piece I added foam tape to the back so it actually becomes a pocket.
Here is the finished Vintage Journal. Down below I have photos of how I decorated each page. And don't forget the video tutorial has more details.
The booklet that is in the chipboard pocket is created with a 8 x 3 1/2 inch pattern paper and has lined paper inside that is sewn together. I adhered the lace for a closure.
This booklet measures 7 x 3 1/2 inches has the lace adhered for a closure and I painted the metal leaf with bronze stain and added the white flower with leaves from the December Scrapbook Kit, I also added one of the embossed stickers that comes in the kit. I attached this booklet to the page and inside it has a sticky note pad.
This pocket is created using the post card paper and I cut a straight line across leaving a 1/4 inch on each side. Decorated with a gold embossed leaf from the project before, a chipboard lock piece and the embossed stickers from the kit.
This pocket is a torn on the edge and inked. It measures 5 x 3 inches and scored 1/2 inch on the right and left side of the 5 inch side and 1/2 inch down the 3 inch side, fold under and adhere the flaps down to the page to create a pocket.
I hope you received some inspiration from this Vintage Journal using the December Card, Tag and More Kit. I like that it has lots of areas for journaling and you can add in more flaps or extras if you'd like. You can journal, keep memorabilia inside and display photos inside as well.
