How to Make a Travellers Notebook – Junk Journal

This is my first attempt at a junk journal. I decided to make in the style of a traveller’s notebook. It turned out great, I think. I used the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP) to decorate it.

Making mini albums is one of my favourite things to do. I love how out of a few pieces of chipboard you can create something unique and beautiful to hold all your precious memories and mementoes.

This travellers notebook (TN) is made from chipboard. It measures 7 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ with a 1 1/2″ spine. You can make them whatever size you want though. If you wanted to you can make the basic album and instead of making a TN you could widen the spine and use a hinge binding system instead.

Wishing you Much Happiness – Stampin’ Up!

I have another easy and simple card to share with you today. This is one of my single sentiment cards. I love the script on the sentiment that reads “Wishing you Much Happiness Today and Always”. I love big bold sentiments as they make for quick and easy cards.

Wishing you Happiness Card - Stampin' Up! — Wishing you Happiness Card – Stampin’ Up!

One of my goals this year is to use up as much of my current designer series paper (DSP) before it retires. This card uses the DSP from the 2018-2020 In-Colours, specifically Lovely Lipstick and Blueberry Bushel. I’ve always loved the combination of pink and blue. They look great together.

The stamp set used here is So Sentimental and comes in a bundle with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The dies are stitched and the rectangle ones are scalloped as well. So versatile!!

Snowglobe Shaker Card – Still Scenes – Stampin’ Up!

I have another attempt at a snowglobe shaker card to share with you today. I love the idea of a shaker card but don’t enjoy making them. The sequins get everywhere and more seem to stick to me than get in the shaker dome!!!

I’ve used the Still Scenes stamp set to stamp the wintery cottage scene. I have coloured it in with our watercolour pencils. I love colouring in and watercolouring is a very forgiving medium. The two polar bears are so cute and love the image of the mother kissing her little baby bear.

Balmy Blue – 1.5cm x 9.5cm

I felt the background was a bit bland and therefore have lifted using the same snowflake sequins that are in the shaker dome. I adhered them with a tiny dot of Tombow. The “Take Your Pick Tool” makes placement super easy without getting your fingers stuck in the glue.

Copper Embossed Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have a very simple and easy copper embossed birthday card. Heat embossing is magic. I will never forget the first time I saw this dull powder turn shiny and metallic.

This card is so clean and bright. I love the way everything coordinates so beautifully with Stampin’ Up! The copper embossed sentiment is enough of a wow element, so nothing else is needed.

I think this is a great card for a novice crafter as it allows you to make something you can be proud of with not a lot of supplies or special skills needed.

As I type this, it is the start of the bank holiday weekend and for once the sun is predicted to keep on shining. I hope they are right. By the time this goes live we all know. Here in Lincoln, it is the Steampunk Asylum weekend so I will be going out tomorrow to see the huge variety of costumes on display.

Pop of Petals Congratulations Card

I have a beautiful floral card to share with you today. It uses the Pop of Petals stamps set and matching punch. This card does pop and is a lovely bright congratulations card for any flower lover. I love flowers and feel sad as the flowers start to die and Autumn comes. This card can keep them alive.

I love the pinks in this card. They are Melon Mambo, Rococo Rose and Lovely Lipstick. These colours all work so well together. I’ve given this card some bling with rhinestone centres for the flowers.

These little flowers from the Pop of Petals set are a great way to use up all those scraps we have lying around our craft rooms. A card like this one is great for children to make as they can stamp all the flowers and punch them out. They can have great fun arranging and glueing down all the flowers and leaves however takes their fancy.
