Handmade Junk Journal

Hello beautiful people! I think this is my 22nd junk journal that I made so far and many more to do. I remembered my first junk journal that I made it was a disaster. I was watching a youtube tutorials and they are using double sided tape to put together a junk journal. So I tried using double sided tape and at first I was happy because it was going so well but when the weather gets cold my pages fell apart. So I researched youtube for more tutorials and learned how to sew and found the best glue to use for the pockets and tucks. It worked perfectly and never had a problem with my pages falling apart. I never used double sided tape for any of my pages for years. Please check out my flip through video to see the inside of this junk journal.

You Inspire Me Card + Distress Ink

Greetings! I like how this card turned out. Honestly it took me at least two days to finish this because I was having problems making up my mind on what embellishments to incorporate. I wanted to put mix flowers but it would look too busy. So I decided to just use leaves stencil and applied texture paste and colored it green using distress inks. The butterfly that I included in this card is from “The Paper Studio Everyday Kraft” scrapbook paper which is awesome. I also added leaves embellishment and applied distress ink to get that dry leaf effect. This card will be up for sale in my Etsy store which will open very soon. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you like this card.

Butterfly Card Layering + Texture Paste

Happy Friday everyone! Today I would like to share with you a birthday card that I made for a friend. I like creating handmade cards for love ones because it is more meaningful to the recipient and more attractive than the ones you buy at the store. I also like receiving handmade cards because of so much love that they put into it. Every handmade cards are a work of art. For this card I applied textured paste by using Bricked Stencil from Tim Holtz collection. I used my silhouette portrait to cut my butterfly and applied distress ink. To make the card more interesting I added layers of torn scrapbook papers and burlap ribbon. I also added some flower embellishments and decided not to color the flowers and leave it as is. For every project I’ve done, I always love to add a splatter of colors as my final touch. It gives it more like a grungy look. Thank you for looking. 🙂
