Infinity Christmas Tree Card

Started with an 8 inch square black piece of cardstock to create this Infinity Christmas Tree Card / Never Ending Christmas Tree Card. I used Stamperia's 'Christmas Greetings' Scrapbook Pad to decorate.  Followed Sam Calcott UK - Mixed Up Craft tutorial to make this fun and easy to craft card! Happy Crafting!

Infinity Christmas Card

I created this 6 inch square Infinity Christmas Card / Never Ending Christmas Card using Stamperia's 8 x 8 inch Scrapbook Pad titled 'Christmas Greetings'. I used black cardstock base and blue cardstock for matting. I followed 'Nicole Fenimore's easy to follow tutorial. In her video she mentions that she offers measurements on her blog. I made a coordinating envelope using 9.5 inch square cardstock with the We R Memory Keepers Punchboard. Fun to make! Happy Crafting!

Junk Journal Using Old Book Cover

I gutted an old children’s reader titled 'The Natural Method Readers, A Fourth Reader'. Great tattered old book cover. Added some Junk Journal flavor with distressed papers and a few other embellishments. I kept it mostly blank for journaling & more embellishing :)

A Great way to fill up or stuff a plain Junk Journal is with 'Raggedies'. Gives the appearance of being stuffed with papers but allows the recipient of the journal the option of keeping the additions or not and using it as just a writing journal if they wish. 'Nik the Booksmith' on YT did a recent tutorial on making 'Raggedies'. Check out my Dec 30 post to see the 'Raggedies' I added to this journal.

Christmas Junk Journal

Another Christmas Junk Journal. This one is a little larger and measures 4.5 x 7.5 inches. I made it using the tab binding method using Tim Holtz Linen Christmas Tape. Lots of Flips, Flaps, Folds, Tucks, and Journal Cards. File Folders were used to create mini writing journals. All made using Tim Holtz Christmas Ephemera.

Mini Christmas Junk Journal

 I made this Mini Christmas Junk Journal using Tim Holtz Christmas Ephemera and Tim Holtz Christmas Linen Tape to create the tab binding. Cute little chunky size chock-a-block full of goodies that measures 2 inches by 3 inches. Fits nicely into a Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Trinket Tin! Makes a sweet gift!

Beautiful Blossoms ~ Never Ending Junk Journal

Created this four signature 'Never Ending Junk Journal' (or sometimes called a 'Flip Flop' Journal) using Stamperia's 'Hortensia' double-sided scrapbook paper for the cover and for creating flips, flaps and pockets. I used a variety of pretty papers for the signatures and botanical images to create journaling cards. It measures 4 x 9 inches. Lots of variations and tutorials available online if you're feeling crafty! 

A Watcher in the Woods

 I gutted or rather deconstructed a vintage book and retained the cover and spine and kept them intact. I created this woodland theme Junk Journal by binding a variety of papers from handmade paper, rice paper, tissue paper, newsprint and a variety of tea-stained papers. I edited digital images and printed them on many of the pages throughout the book all in keeping with a woodland or forest theme.

I liked the way the book looked with just the bound signatures so I left all the Ephemera Inserts (journal cards, envelopes, notepads, etc.) as loose elements that can be rearranged or completely removed! This provides a flatter surface while journaling in the book while still being able to load it up with all the wonderful ephemera. Sweet gift for a nature loving friend!
