Let's Make A Trifold Journal Insert From One Large Book Page

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


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

Today I am bringing you a project inspired by Wendy Townsend.  I watched her video on making a double book page pocket flippy folio and decided to make one myself. As I often do I watch, I make, I forget half of it but carry on anyway, I check the original video and realise I made it completely different! 😆

But none the less I was inspired by her video! I do intend to have a go at making the actual project she made! 

I really enjoyed making this so had to make another and video it. I make the video in 2 parts. The fist part is constructing the trifold journal inset and the second part is making and decorating the tags and pockets.

Measurements and Materials

  • I used a large book page with full length illustration of a herb
  • With the page in Landscape
  • I folded it in 3 and made the top fold slightly narrower than the other 2 so that I could add a tab to it
  • I folded up the the bottom 2" (aprox) of the page to form pockets
  • I added pockets so that each side of the sections has a pocket
  • I stamped and distressed with ink and sewed round the whole page
  • I made 6 tags using another page and half of the book pages
  • I used the Very Best Trip punch from Stampin' Up! to make the tag tops
  • I used various Stampin' Up! stamp sets to vintage up the page and the tags
  • I kept the images in the page as I thought they looked good
  • I added vintage music paper, dyed cheese cloth, tickets, butterflies and a word prompt to each tag and similar to the pockets
  •  The final touch was an eyelet and  charm to the tab 


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