My First Junk Journal: Decorating Tags

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate. I am here with another instalment in my Junk Journal series. Today I am decorating the tags I made last week.

I am really enjoying making my first Junk Journal and so excited to be sharing it with you.  I take you through the process from start to finish ...not that it is finished yet of course! It is a work in progress and I hope you will join me. I have made mistakes and I have learned from them and I have enjoyed every minute.

If you missed the beginning episode 1 you can view it here :-) I will be doing this every Wednesday so do subscribe to not miss any. I have created a playlist on my YouTube channel so you can easily find all my tutorials in this series.

Measurements and Materials


I normally give you the measurements of my projects, but for this project this will not always be possible as it is often not precise as it involves ripping paper!

The signatures in this Junk Journal are me using A4 sheets folded in half to make an A5 sized journal.


  • I took 1 sheet of standard card stock (A4 in UK) 
  • I stamped over both sides of the cardstock
  • I cut 2" off the short side then cut this in half to for 2 tags
  • I used the 2 different tag topper punches on these to make the tags
  • I cut the other Piece of card stock at every 3" on the long side
  • This made 3 tags 3" wide and one slightly smaller
  • I cut the corners off the top of the rectangles to form tags
  • I punched holes in the top of the tags
  • I used scraps to make hole reinforcers
  • Then I decorated using book pages, coffee stained doilies, words I had printed, flowers from the paper collection I am using
  • The journaling mats were stamped with a retired Stampin' Up! stamp and decorates with various stamps including a word prompt for the journaling  



    Now watch the video tutorial to see how this was made :-)
