Altered vintage book journal junk journal

I worked on my 3rd attempt at a junk journal/altered book notebook today... this one can be purchased on my Instagram account (here).  I think I am finally figuring out the flow, and I love working with my cinch! 

This journal was made from a vintage book “Our Poisoned Earth & Sky” copywriter 1964. It has a silver metal coil bind allowing this journal to lay flat when opened.

The journals size is 5.5 x 9 (not including metal coil spine)

This journal includes:
📚 15 pages from the original book
📚 Vintage sheet music
📚 Envelops
📚 Vintage plant information cards
📚 Pages from a vintage plant book
📚 100 pages (200 sides) of plain white paper

Magical Day (Stampin Up) Mermaid Birthday Card

I just love the Magical Day Stampin Up stamp set! So I wanted to create a card using the cute little mermaid!



I started by selecting coordinating papers. 

I cut the card base to 5.5” x 4.25”
The second layer (the patterned paper) was cut to 4” x 5.5”
And lastly the card piece was cut to 3.25” x 11”

For the first card I scored the card layer in half and I then scored several lines to the half way line. 

Using my ATG I taped all the layers together. 

I stamped out the mermaid and the little seahorse and colored each in using some Stampin Blends. 

I used a 2” circle punch to cut out the mermaid. 


I put some tape on the back of the circle and I then added some thread. 


I popped the big mermaid circle up on some dimentionals. 

I fussy cut the seahorse out and added some rhinestones. 

Stamped the sentiment on the inside. 





 I just love this super adorable stamp set!! I see a lot more Magical Day cards in my future!!



I made a few changes on the second card. Watch the video below to see those details.

That was fun... but I wanted to see what else I could come up with!

Here’s what I created...

Jar of Love (Stampin Up) For You Card Set

I was looking through the Annual 2017-2018 Stampin Up Catalog, and I saw an adorable card idea on page 28 that used the Jar of Love stamp set, so I had to give it a try! 



I decided to make a set of cards I could give away as a gift. 



When creating this card I would ink up my stamp, stamp once on a piece of scrap paper and then stamp again (without inking my stamp back up) on my card base. Using the same color I would ink up my layering stamp and stamp on top of the first image. That is what creates the “layered” look. While I only used 3 different ink pads to create the flowers, it looks like I used 6!

 



This is definetly a beautiful, fast and easy card to make... as long as you remember to layer!

Lots of Lavender (Stampin Up) Card

Using the Lots of Lavender Stampin Up set, available now for FREE durning the 2018 Sale-a-bration, and of course some Stampin Blends to create these beautiful and simple cards. 


I used my big shot and a Tm Holtz Thinlit die to create the cut out portion. One card I popped the white layer up on some dimensional and the other, I simply taped it down with tear tape. 
 

I used sentiments from two different Stampin Up sets and of course, added some string behind to give a little extra texture.
