Dainty Flowers Journal Part 5

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


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


I am bringing you another episode in my Dainty Flowers journal.  

In this part I am making the cover and sewing in the signatures.  I have used a sheet from another DSP pack that is free with a £45 order during Sale-A-Bration, Favoured Flowers.  I tea dyed the sheet so it had the same vintage look as the other sheets.  I found some lace I had bought from a charity shop for the spine and added some lovely vintage looking ribbon. I couldn't decide between just a little label on the front or adding the vellum frame, I went with the stamped vellum frame in the end.

Measurements and Materials

  • Each page measures 8" x 8"
  • Some were left at 12" wide to form 2" side pockets on each page
  • The 12'x4" off cuts will be used as pockets, tags and journal cards
  • I made some diagonal pockets and some gusseted pockets out of the left over DSP 
  • I added book pages, music paper, tea dyed paper to complete the pages in the journal
  • I also took a page out of my old ledger book ... now that makes this journal really special! 
  • I used some tags I had previously made that went really well with this paper
  • I also made some tags with the scraps of DSP left and decorated the pocket fronts
  • The cover measures 10" x 8 1/2"
  • It was scored @ 4 1/2" - 5" - 5 1/2"
  • I used the 3 hole pamphlet stitched to sew in the signatures 


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