Junk Journal Pockets & Tags Using Edith Holden Images

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. Today as part of my Junk Journal series I am showing the pockets and tags I made using just pages from one book. It is a craft book based on the work of Edith Holden. The images are just gorgeous and many people who make junk journals use her book. I do have the book myself but as yet have not managed to cut it up! I was delighted to find this craft book i a charity shop and now that I have gutted this book I feel I may be able to cut up more books! 

This is the book I found, in fact I found 2 of these and bought them both. There are amazing full pages of Edith Holden drawings at the start of each section. One for each month of the year. I think I might use these for a planner. 

It was my aim with this project to use this book and only this book, I wanted to help my niece see that she did not need lots of supplies to make a junk journal.

Posted For You Vintage Card

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it and hope you like the project and will take a look at the video tutorial as well.  I was playing with the lovely set Posted For You and the great rectangle postage stamp punch and came up with a lovely bright card. Then I decided to make it again but this time go all vintage. I love both versions but really love the vintage one. The bright one is coloured in using the Stampin' Blends but the vintage one is watercoloured with the ink pad and a paint brush.

Measurements and Materials

• Card base is hick Very Vanilla card stock embossed with the Old World Paper embossing folder
• It is a standard size card base, half a sheet of A4 scored in half
• 5 7/8" x 4 1/8"
• I stamped the 3 images from the tamp set in Crumb cake and used an aqua painter and some of the ink to just colour each image in
• I then punched out each one.
• The were popped up on dimentionals on a mat of Crumb Cake cut using the lovely Ornate Layers
• The sentiment was stamped with Crumb Cake and cut out using the stitched rectangle
• This was then matted onto Crumb Cake
• 1"x3"
• I tied a bow with linen thread to just finish it off
• You can see in the picture below the difference between water colour and using the crumb Cake blends - I like the more subtle look of water colour for this card
• I have also included pictures of the Shaded Spruce version  

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

3D Paper Trimmer August Blog Hop: Vacation

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Thank you for visiting my blog, I am taking part in the 3D Paper Trimmer Blog Hop today and you will have hopped her from Kathrin.  Welcome I am Gez from the UK.  The theme this month is Vacation so I have made a concertina file folder to collect all the tickets and memorabilia while on holiday ready to scrapbook when I get home.  

Measurements and Materials

The measurements for this project depend on the size of the envelopes your use. I have made 3 of these now. The original 2 were made using envelopes designed for 5"x7" cards. The folder I have made for this tutorial uses A4 envelopes cut in half so it quite a bit bigger. 

I am really pleased with the look of my up-cycled envelopes with this gorgeous vintage looking World Of Good DSP from Stampin' Up! and feel it looked a bit like a old fashioned attache case. 

• 3 brown A4 envelopes sealed and cut in half
• This forms 6 pockets for the file folder
• There are two ways of gluing these together
• Place glue the whole length of the envelope
• OR
• Place glue just half way down the envelope
• For this project I put the glue just half way down each envelope but in my 2 smaller ones I have done both ways and I think I prefer this way
• Card stock was cut the same size of the envelopes and adhered to the back and front of the stack of envelopes
• I decided to use Whisper White and ink it up with Early Espresso ink
• I could have used Early Espresso card stock but I did not have enough and actually I prefer the look of the inked up version as it goes well with the vintage look of the DSP
• The DSP was also inked around the edges
• I matted the DSP onto the Whisper White
• This added more strength to the folder, the original ones just had DSP on them
• The flap was made from Whisper White card stock, DSP & a layer of envelope on the inside
• I measured the width of my envelope and cut A4 down to that size so the flap length was the size of the standard card stock width
• Both the envelope and the DSP were also inked around the edges
• Whisper White was again inked with Early Espresso 
• To enable the flap to curve nicely I scored every 1/8" 
• I used a Memories & More card for the closure
• This was matted onto Whisper White in the same way and a piece of envelope used on the inside so it all matched
• I used the Faux Sued Trim & the Antique Slider to fasten the folder
• Ribbon was stuck between the layers of card and Memories and More 
• Enough ribbon was cut to go all the way round the folder with extra to allow for expansion and to tie 
• The slider was placed near the Memories and More card and when tying the ribbon it was looped through the slider for extra security
