Ink Stamp Share October Blog Hop - Autumn

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

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

I am hopping with the Ink Stamp Share Blog Hop today and the theme is Autumn. This is so well timed because I have been making a mini autumn journal. I am making this for a swap and am very excited to be doing this. I have decided to make it spiral bound because I really enjoyed making on of these and I am interested to see how it looks in a mini version. 

I have been hoarding a lovely pack of Stampin' Up! DSP from years ago and this is the perfect project to use it on. I am also using stamps from the current catalogue as well as my favourite retires stamp sets. I love how the stamp pad ink matches the DSP used.  The front cover uses the lovely Rustic Harvest DSP, this sheet is perfect for a front cover and other sheets work well in the journal as well. 

Measurements and Materials

• Cover made from grey board/chip board
• 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"
• Designer Series Paper fir front and back cover cut 1/2" bigger all way round - 3 3/4" x 4 3/4"
• Card stock for the inside of cover 3 1/8" x 4 1/8"
• Pockets for the inside of covers 3 1/8" x 2"
• Score @ 1/2" on the short side
• This gives a fold over at the top of the pocket for strength and decoration
• Each page in the journal measures 3" x 4"
• Pockets 2" x 3"
• Score @ 1/2" on the short side
• This gives a fold over at the top of the pocket for strength and decoration
• Flip out pages 4" x 4 1/2"
• Score @ 1 1/2" on the long side
• This gives you a 1 1/2" flip which allows for a tab to be added & won't interfere with the spiral binding
• I have a Zutter bind it all which I used to bind the journal

Video Tutorial

I have filmed the process and the tutorials are split into 3 parts.

Part 1 - getting the paper ready and cut up for the journal

Part 2 - making the tags and decorating the pockets and pages and adding the binding

Part 3 - the flip through

I will have a play list on my YouTube channel call Mini Autumn/Fall journal so you can find all the videos there once they have all been published. 

Time for the closeups!
