It's A Brand New Day - Donna's Wrapped Journal

Hello Crafty Friends!

I don't know about you but I reckon you can never have too many journals, TNs and planners..... hehe one of my weaknesses! But you can use tem for so many things and handmade journals are just SO special!

Today Donna creates a beautiful wrapped journal - and guess what she's going to use it for? Brilliant!!

Hi all,
I hope you like what I created with the Box I received from the
Evil Enabling Aunty Vera this month..
I love the Wrapped Journal Die from Sizzix - Eileen Hull. There are just so many things you can create from it and I thought for 'It's a Brand New Day' in January why not create one for my poetry
and stories from 2019.. 

I cut a Wrapped Journal from a piece of strong cardstock and painted both sides with
Gesso.
( Don't use a shim with this die as it cut all the scored lines, ask how I know this lol)

I sponged the journal with Distress Oxide Inks in the order as follows:

 Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Iced Spruce, Fired Brick and Frayed Burlap.

Spray separate colours with water and dry before adding the next colour. I did this to both sides.. 

Looks pretty don't you reckon...

I embossed a piece of brown cardstock with the 'On The Go' Texture Fades by Tim Holt and cut a strip for the front of the journal.

I die cut the Credit Card Sleeve and Tags by Eileen Hull in embossed dark brown 

and edged it in gold pen.

A strip of washi tape and a stamped coffee cup backed with 3D foam tape finished off the front.

The three tags from the Credit Card Sleeve and Tags using the stamps with the Core Products.

How great does this look together..

The inside of the right hand side of the Wrapped Journal. I stamped the coffee cup rings all over the inside of the journal. I then punched the cups (minus the handle lol) and popped them up using 3D Foam Tape over two strips of the lovely paper..

Inside of the journal. Using the same coffee stain stamp, I stamped it over the journalling card to give it a uniformed look. A small coffee cup stamped on the flowered paper and fussy cut finishes off this side with a bit of glitter (of course).

I cut a piece off the border paper for the front and covered it in Nuvo Crystal Drops after adding a little Kindy Glitz to her dress and lights.. I then fussy cut two tea cups (tea for me please) and popped them up using 3D Foam Tape. I also painted them with  Nuvo Crystal Drops.

The Wrapped Journal..

I Hope I have

Inspired you to Create

Glorious Things

Hugs
