I created this 5 x 7 inch Multi Foldout Folio Journal by following a tutorial for the basic structure on Liz The Paper Project. I altered mine slightly. I used solid color cardstock for my base. To decorate my journal and create Journaling Cards I used two Stamperia Scrapbook Pads; Precious Roses & House Of Roses.
The basic structure for the first little Journal/Notepad in the video below was inspired by Art by Pamela G which I altered slightly. I printed a digital print onto Rice Paper from Heart and Soulful and created my cover adhering it to my base made from a manilla file folder. I made two signatures using assorted papers. The little booklet has a total of 24 pages. I stitched the signatures using a 3-hole pamphlet stitch onto a piece of self-adhesive denim fabric I had and adhered it to the inside spine of the journal. I distressed the cover, cards and paper edges. Made a few journal cards and a tag with a strand of stone chip beads and used torn batik fabric for a tie.
The second little Boho styled journal I constructed with a beaded spine using a downloaded digital from Heart and Soulful which I toned down a bit and printed it onto linen fabric for my cover and glued it onto chipboard. I used handmade ivory papers with Aster flowers with deckled edges which are printable and writable. Great little notepad measures 4.5 x 5 inches. Has 3 signatures sewn in using a 3-hole pamphlet stitch. Booklet has 30 pages. I was inspired by a tutorial from Heart and Soulful and designed my version altering it slightly.
Another Book in a Box! Love the idea of a book in a box! Makes a thoughtful gift for a journaler. This booklet measures 4 x 7 inches and fits nicely into this lovely lined, multi-patterned, decorative, wood faux book box. Simple one signature booklet with 20 pages stitched with an easy 3-hole pamphlet stitch using waxed thread. I printed these gorgeous papers from Medieval Mirage onto both sides of the printable handmade papers (Watercolor Recycled Cotton Deckled Edge Papers). The papers are so beautiful they didn't need any more adornments! Makes a lovely writing journal in a giftable box! Micron Archive Ink pens work well on the papers. Below is a short video.
I had this lovely blue print decorative wood faux book box with an interior lining and new just the book I wanted to make for it! I made a 4 x 7 inch journal with one signature and 20 pages. I printed these ethereal, dreamy digitals from LianaScrap onto two different types of printable handmade papers. I used Laser & Inkjet Lokta Natural Papers AND Watercolor Recycled Cotton Deckled Edge Papers. Since the papers accepted inkjet so well they are also writable. Micron archival ink pens work really well! The papers are so gorgeous I didn't need to embellish! Makes a lovely writing journal with its' own keepsake box! Below is a short video, enjoy!
This is a simple, easy to assemble tab bound mini journal I made using washi tape and folded papers. The washi tape tab binding holds the text block together. I glued the first and last page of the text block to the inside of the front and back of the cover. The cover was made using two separate pieces of handmade paper and another piece cut to size and glued to the cover pieces to create the spine.
I made a little box (3 inch sq.) for the book (2 x 2.5 inches) using double-sided scrapbook paper from Stamperia called Cosmos. You can find an easy to follow tutorial to make a gift box any size at Crafting For Almost Everyone
