Let's Make A Spiral Bound Journal Part 2

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


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

I am bringing you the second part of my new Junk Journal With Stampin' Up! Series.  I am using the free Sale-A-Bration bundle Beautiful World. This bundle consists of a stamp set and a matching paper pack. The Paper is 12 sheets of 12"x12", 6 different double sided sheets and you get 2 sheets of each. I have been very frugal with the paper and think you could get 4 of these journals made from the pack. The journal has 6"x4" pages so is smaller than I usually make but I do like it. I am using an actual book cover for the cover of the journal which is a new thing for me. The journal is going to be spiral bound which is also a new thing. I was inspired by Tracie Fox's journals. 

In this part I am making the pockets and tags.

Measurements and Materials

  • Each page is cut to 6" x 4"
  • The book covers 6 1/4" x 4 1/4"
  • I had to cut the cover down and in the video you see how I did this
  • Each tag is 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" 
    • I used the Very Best Trio Punch to add the corner detail to each corner
    • I then scored lines on each tag
    • I scored @ 5 1/8: & 5 1/4" on the each long side
    • I scored @ 3 1/8: & 3 1/4" on the each short side
    • It may be easier to add these score line before you punch the corners
  • Each pocket measure 2" x 4"
    • These were cut from the spare 6" x 4" pages I cut from the Wonderful World Paper 
  • Each pocket was edged with card stock die cut with the border from Penned Flower dies
  • Pocket for the inside of the cover was made from the plain book page 
    • 3" x 4 1/2"
    • Score @ 1/2" on each end of the short side
    • Score @ 1/4" on each end of the long side


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