Inspire Art Mixed Media Junk Journal w/ Video Tutorials

While at the NAMTA conference with Canvas Corp Shannon Green and I make this super cute little junk mini journal and I really had fun making it, so I re-created the idea from the supplies I had on hand in my stash.  A little bit of everything went into this little book from all the companies I work with, for that is what a junk journal is all about anyway pulling things together from what you have!!!

I really pulled my inspiration from a number of places, first the little book Shannon and I made, second is the color scheme from the Creative Embellishments May Inspiration Challenge (peacock), and third the 7 Gypsies Wanderlust Open Doors papers with the keys, doors, and knockers helped add to idea for the embellishments.

Here is video Tutorial for Part 1 - Construction

Here is the video for Part 2 - Adding pages and inserts plus color using glimmer glaze and glimmer mist

Here is the video for part 3  - Embellishments and the Walk Through

Here is the peacock inspiration for this journal.

Cute Trio of SImple Cards **Canvas Corp & Tattered Angels & Eyelet Outlet & Rubbernecker Stamps & Beacon** w. video Tutorial

I got into card making mode and this time I used one sketch to create 3 cards in different colors.  Come take a look!!

I just got the new resins bows from Eyelet Outlet and I had to make something with them, so take a look at my process video!!

Here is a look at each card up close.

Instead of placing a sentiment outside the card, I placed it inside using the Rubbernecker Stamps.

For the card base and cardstock I used Canvas Corp products.  I actually used the back of printed cardstock that I had scraps of and it had a ivory or kraft background, best way to save money!!

 

 Tattered Angels colors I used to match the colors of the resin bow and flowers.

I matched the colors of the resin bows with the flowers, brads, and enamel stickers to give 2 colors per card.

Thanks for taking a look!!
