Let's Make A Journal From A Packet Of 12"x12" Paper

Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

Last week I shared a project using the lovely blue & white flippy page pocket and I said I wanted to make a journal with the rest of the paper, doilies, ribbon and memories and more cards.  Well here it is! I still have some more decorating to do and some more tags and journalling cards to make but the journal is made and the cover is on.  

I bought the Designer Series Paper, matching Memories & More Cards, ribbon and doilies, all from the Last Chance Products in my shop now. These are only available until the end of June 2022.  All these products are £20.01! What a bargain. I have worked hard at getting this ready for todays Junk Journal video so that you can see how it turned out and if you want to make one similar there is still chance to buy the products. 

Let's Make A Journal From A Packet Of 12"x12" Paper



Measurements and Materials

  • Each page is 5 1/2" x 8"
  • SO each 12"x12" sheet was cut down to 11" and score @ 5 1/2"
  • Each sheet was then turned and scored @ 8"
  • This formed each page but I didn't want a 4" pocket so I trimmed each down
  • I took 1", 1 1/2" & 2" off different sheets so I had different sized pockets
  • The white paper I used was 120gsm
  • I cut the sheets to 8" x 11" 
  • I scored @ 5 1/2" on the long side
  • I then put the pages together and alternated between the white paper and the Designer Series Paper
  • Vellum insert 6" x 8 " score @ 4" on the long side
  • DSP was attached to form pockets on the vellum insert
  • The cover was made from the white card that comes with the paper pack
  • I cut 3 sections, the spine, front and back
  • The spine was 3/4" x 8 1/4"
  • Front and back 5 3/8" x 8 1/4"
  • I used construction tape to join the sections together
  • I covered the cover with the DSP 
  • The spine section was 5/8" x 8"
  • The 4 sections for the outside and inside front and back covers 5 1/2" x 8" 

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