3" Square Mini Cinch Notebooks

Power back long enough to publish this post after being out for 53 hours. Prepping for the next storm. Meteorologist says to expect more high winds and snow this time🤞

These little cuties are 3 inch square mini cinch notebooks with rounded corners.

Used a variety of papers from my stash. Thanks once again to THE CINCH to do the bookbinding!

Junk Journal Cinch Notebooks & Minis Too!

Made a few Junk Journal Cinch Notebooks. The marble cover was an old book I de-constructed and salvaged the cover. I used distressed papers and Tim Holtz ephemera.

Used blank papers & steampunk 'Stamperia' Scrapbook pad papers for the flip up mini notebook.

Bookbinding was a cinch, thanks to THE CINCH!

Mini 'Cinch' Bound Books...

 

These are the little books I've recently bound using 'THE CINCH'.

Two on left in back are 5" x  7"...my Junk Journals. Smallest I've made are 2" x 3", 2" x 4", and 2.5" x 4". I've bound 3" sq. and 4" sq. and rounded corners on some. Many are 3" x 4" which either flip up or are bound on the left. A few are 4' x 5".

And...I have more that I've made!! 

Will plan to do a flip thru video soon. 

 

Loving THE CINCH!
