My Creations Journal

Directions:

I love these new bound journals! They are so cute and easy to make. I made this one for a dear friend’s birthday recently. Here’s how:

1.    Take a 5×7 piece of floral paper and 3 x 5 piece of striped paper and sponge the edges with Juniper ink. Attach the striped paper to the center of the floral piece. Wrap a piece of the wide Crème Brulee ribbon around the lower edge of the striped piece.

2.    Now for the stamping! Stamp your desired definition on a piece of Vanilla cream cardstock in Juniper ink. I love this stamp set because the different definitions are all so beautiful. Mount on Olive cardstock and then again on Juniper cardstock. I made the Juniper matt wider than the Olive the matt. Attach on near the top right of the page. You can add 2 brads along one side if desired.

3.    Take your White Daisy paper flower and sponge Juniper ink on the tips of the petals. Attach to the lower left side of the paper using one of the beautiful Filligree Charms. Now slide the decorated piece into the plastic sleeve on the front cover.

4.    For a finishing touch, add knots of Crème brulee ribbon. You’re done!
