Double Flipout Pocket

 Good morning

I have a project to share with you today that I saw 
Cori Dahmon create on her YT channel called Creating with Scraps

This is to go into the Daisy journal I am creating for my grand-daughter, showcasing her 2023 year.
I have used the Simple Daisies digital kit from SunflowersAndDors

Mine did not work out exactly like Cori's but it is a great addition to 
my journal as it is.

In the video I do show how both versions are created so pop over and check it out.
There will be a link to the video at the bottom of this post.





Here is the video

Compliling and Constructing Denise Boddey Journal

 Good afternoon

I want to share the compilation and construction of my new journal.

I am using papers from Denise Boddey Designs







I have created two signatures and used a three hole pamphlet stitch
to bind my signatures in.

I have alternated the patterned papers with a green/grey plain paper.
I used a stencil and Bundled Sage Distress Ink to add a little detail
to the plain pages.

You can see the process in my YT video

No sew fabric binding for Daisy journal

 Good morning

I have tried a new style of binding for this journal.

I saw this binding in a video by Treasure Books.

It is called tab binding and can be done with fabric, paper, lace, 
anything really that will be sturdy enough to withstand the opening of the pages.

I have chosen to use an upholstery fabric sample for my journal.

One of the advantages of this type of binding is that the book sits completely flat when it is open.


Front Cover


Back & Front Cover


Interior pages


The Spine

Hydrangea Card for Denise Boddey Designs

 Good morning

I have created this beautiful Hydrangea card using papers from 
Denise Boddey Designs, in particular her Enchantment paper collection

I have also used a great stamp and die set called Build a Hydrangea 


The papers I have used are Tip Toe and A Magical Place.


As you can see there are several layers to each of the little flowers that create the Hydrangea.
Each of the flowers have been shaped before being added.
A little bit of sparkle has been added to the centre of each flower using Kindy Glitz

Full instruction can be found in my video
