Quick Vintage Postbox Mini Journal

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today on Junk Journal Wednesday😀

I am taking a break from my Flower Fairies to bring you a quick mini journal. I was reading the updates on the Stampin' Up! demo website and they are launching a new kit today and I was reminded of this precious Parcel card kit that I have had a while. It costs £11.25 and you can make 8 of the cards or even 8 of these journals. I have also used the kit to make a mini album which I will link below. 

I have split the tutorial into 2 parts as it took me so long! Don't get me wrong it is a quick mini but I am sure you wouldn't want to watch a video over 2 hours long! 


Quick Vintage Postbox Mini Journal Part 1


Measurements and Materials

  • I scored a line 3/8" from the centre fold to create a spine
  • I added some Mossy Meadow cardstock to the back panel to create a back cover
    • I stuck the back flap on on 3 sides to create a pocket
    • Back cover 5" x 3 7/8"
  • I used some Daffodil Afternoon DSP for the signature cover
    • 4 3/4" x 7 1/2"
    • Scored @ 3 3/4"
  • I gathered sheets of tea , avocado & red cabbage dyed paper
  • I also used some parchment paper and some bought vintage style paper
  • Each sheet was also cut as per the cover
  • I also added a paper bag
  • I created my own tabs by punching out a circle, folding it in half and then punching quarter circles from each edge - see photos below & the video
  • I made the tags using the Tailor made tags dies

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