Learn how easy it is to create sweet and pretty journals using file folder dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs. In this video I share three ways, from easiest to more advanced, as you'll learn the basic 3-hole pamphlet stitch, how to make a traveler's notebook cover from scratch, and then a hard-bound book with a stitched binding.
The 49 and Market collection I used in some of the projects is the Curators Botanical 12 x 12 Collection. Here is a link to it and some of my other current favorite crafting supplies: www.amazon.com/shop/annettegr...

Thank you so much Annette I really really enjoyed watching you create all these amazing and inspiring journals. I made my granddaughters a journal each one year, instead of a birthday card. And even though I say it they turned out really well and the girls loved them too. So mission accomplished. I love ❤❤❤❤❤ these that you’ve created too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

Wonderful! Thanks. Have fun making yours. I did find that the Kraft Tex alone was a bit flimsy, which I think I mention in the video, so you'll want to line it or double it up for it not to bend too much. Especially the prewashed kind.

@AnnetteGreen Жыл бұрын

Awesome Jama! I would definitely double it up, or put a layer of reinforcement on the inner spine if you go with the Kraft Tex method. It tends to bend too much on a single layer. Thanks for watching.

Very nice journals, Annette! I would love any one of them in my stocking. I've done the three hole phamplet stitch, but not the five. Didn't look too hard to do. I will more than likely be making some of these. Thank you and take care.

@AnnetteGreen Жыл бұрын

Hi Carole and thank you! The five-hole stitched binding is definitely not "hard" just a little tedious for some people. It's my personal favorite though. It really holds up well like a real book. I hope you enjoy making yours.

Tyvek or other synthetic paper (stone paper) is great for strengthening the spine.

Love the journals. I'm new to inks so I have a question. I love the faint image of the flowers. Do I remember or misremember, oxides are water reactive, will the ink smear if writing in the journal with a marker? Thanks.

@AnnetteGreen Жыл бұрын

Thank you Nancy, and that's an excellent question. Yes, Oxides are water reactive, so I would stay away from a marker. Instead I would use a ballpoint pen. If i had a light enough ink in archival, I would've used that. Thanks for watching and for your question.
