 Boxed Journal

Part 2

In this part, I will show you how I made the small journal for the center panel of the box.

The cover of the journal will measure 4" by 6" and will fit perfectly on the inside middle panel.


For the cover of my journal I used number 12 from the Couture Creations Sweeping Plains collection. I cut the Kookaburra and wild flower panel out as one piece and folded it so those two images were on the inside cover. I also had a piece of burlap so I cut it to size, glued it to the front of the cover and on tthe top of that I place another image from No. 12 with the Aussie flag showing. I used a piece of seam binding as a tie closure on the journal which was glued under the burlap.

I used a corner rounder and rounded all the corners on the cover and also on each individual page in the journal. I collected roughly twenty random pages to use for my journaling pages. I cut them at roughly 5 3/4'  in length and the width at 3 3/4". I gathered my pages together and then stitched them into the cover. I used a three hole pamphlet stitch to attach the papers to the cover.

Showing a couple of the papers I used for the journal.

When I had put my journal together, I used my glue to attach it to the center middle panel on my box.

Besides making the journal for box, I also decorated some more of the panels on the box.

You can view part 2 below in the video, which will give you a more detailed process.

Have a Great Day Guys!

FLOW-ISH JOURNALS are addictive!!

Recently I joined a swap at our Australian Art Swap Group on facebook where we had to put together a flow-ish Journal. I absolutely love putting these together as it gives me a chance to use up a lot of papers and items I have been hoarding. A flow-ish journal is based on the Flow magazines and books with the intent that everything inside can be pulled out and used by another person in their own art works or projects. Below are a few pictures and videos of me showing you through the ones I have put together. Once I start one, I seem to want to keep making them. Todate, I think I have put together at leadt five of these types of journals and sent them to friends and swap partners. This Flow-ish journal is the one I made for the swap. The cover was a real estate guide booklet and I decided to decorate it, to make it look a little prettier. It is full of patterned papers, die cuts, tissue paper, handmade envelopes and pockets filled with odds and ends, that I thought the recipient w

 ATC HOLDERS This is a very fast and easy project. I used my the leftover image pieces from the Sweeping Plains Papers to decorate a few Artist Trading Card Holders. Each made holder can store eight ATC's.The base of the holder is made from cardstock I had in my own supplies and the pockets that hold the ATCs, I made from a manilla folder. The Base Cut your cardstock to 11" x 3". Then score at 2 1/2", 3 1/4", 7" and 7 3/4"/ Fold on score lines. The Pockets Cut your manilla folder to 6" x 4". You will need to cut and make eight pockets. Score with long side up at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". Then turn once with short side up and score at 1/2". Fold along score lines. Cut the small square off the bottom corner and then cut from 2 3/4 score line to edge, taking off  the long 1/2" panel. Use your double sided Ranger LetterIT tape and place on the botton flap and the side flap. Fold over score lines to make your pocket. I used a 1"

Hello Everyone, Today I was still in the mood to play with the wonderful paper from Photo Play and wanted to do a project that was fun, easy and quick. I searched Pinterest for a free downloadable  heart box  template and was quite surprised to find one straight off the bat. What you will need for this cute heart treat box: *a free printable from pinterest *a cropodile *Blazing Red Stazon ink *Photo Play Crazy for you paper *Elements sticker sheet called Wild Love *double sided tape *some thread or twine for decoration *small brads to attach handles *small piece of cheese cloth or fabric  Then I used the template to cut the shape from The Photo Play 'Crazy for you' paper and folded the paper on the marked fold lines and that gave the shape of the heart box. I inked the edges of the heart box shape with the Stazon Blazing Red Ink and was now ready to decorate the front and back of the heart. I decorated the heart shapes before I folded and adhered the box togethe
