'Oriental Garden' - Mini Envelope Journal


A 4 x 4.5 inch Mini Envelope Journal assembled using tab binding. Crafted 4 envelopes each containing a mini journal and each journal bound with a 3-hole pamphlet stitch. One mini notepad included in last envelope. Journal pages are purchased and printed from Etsy seller "DigitalScrapHelper" which I resized. The Journal envelopes, journal covers & tags were made using Stamperia 'Oriental Garden' 8x8 inch Scrapbook Pad Papers. Each journal has 10 pages. Used Tim Holtz linen tape for tab binding. ('ShabbySoul' on YT offers a tutorial on envelope tab binding.) I used a torn piece of black batik fabric with wood beads as tie closure.
