Junk journal from old photo album

 Hi and happy Sunday.

Today I'm sharing my latest junk journal with you.

It is made from a old photo album that I've won bidding at an online action.

The album is dated around 1900 and it had 4 original photo's in it (carte de visite).

I've cut out all the photo frames and used the cover to make a junk journal 

with a hidden spine.

It is a large journal, 10,5 x 8,5 inches  and it has lots of original vintage

 papers and ephemera pieces

The journal was listed in my Etsy shop but it was sold in no time. 😊😲

There is a flip through video on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/2k0srb68Bpk

Here are a few pictures.

Vintage tags/journaling cards

 Hi, I spend my afternoon making these three tags/journaling cards for future junk journals

I started with 3 pieces of cardstock, about 6,5 x 4 inches.

Then I decorated the cards with all kinds of layers of fabric and lace.

Did some sewing on the fabrics.

Some of the fabrics have script on them. I printed those myself. 

I also added cute vintage photo's, frames and rusty embellishments.

Here are the photo's:

I really like how these turned out. 

The inspiration came from an image I saw on pinterest. This image here. 

I thought it was so beautiful.

And luckily, I have so many beautiful things in my stash, 

it was easy for me to create these gorgeous tags.

I hope you are inspired also.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Spellbinders small die set of the month December - Sketched florals & frame

 Hello, I hope you are doing fine.

Today I'm sharing my card made with the Spellbinders December small die set.

For more information about the Spellbinders monthly membership clubs please click here.

This months small die set is so much fun. It has 12 cutting dies with a beautiful frame and lots of different flowers and leaves.

Here is my card.

For this card I used black, pink and gold as the color combination.

I die cut the frame from gold cardstock.

The flowers are cut from different pinks and off white cardstock.

For the leaves I used two shades of green.

The "congrats" die cut is from the Simply perfect collection and 

the "have a blessed day" sentiment is from the mini everyday sentiments collection.

I adhered all pieces to a black cardstock panel.

Some flowers and leaves are added using foam tape to give the card more dimension. 

The black panel was then glued to an off white cardbase.

 

To embellish the card I added pink gems.

Spellbinders large die set of the month December - Layered stitched background

Hi friends, welcome to my blog.

It's time to share my first card made with the December large die set.

This month's set consists of 6 cutting dies and it is a stitching die set again. 

We have seen more stitching die sets this year and I love these kind of dies.

 It's so relaxing to stitch, great for stress relief!

Here is my card. It is a Christmas themed card but you can use the dies

 for all kinds of celebrations.

I went for a very colorful Christmas card. I was inspired by this picture I found in Pinterest.

I love all the different colors and I wanted to do something different then the

traditional red/green/gold.

For the stitching I used 2 strands of embroidery thread.

The sentiment is from the Spellbinders October small die set.

This set is still available at Spellbinders here.

To embellish the card I added multi colored gems and a glitter bow with two bells.
