Design Team Project

Hi everyone! Welcome back, or welcome to my channel if you are new! I’m so happy you’re here!!
Today I’m sharing my Design Team Project for Ruby and Pearl xo. I’m creating some Open Spine Junk Journals! I used the Yellow Rose kit, Creme Brulee, and a few other favorites (all listed below). This is a Craft with Me Tutorial, and journal flip through! My inspiration for today’s project comes from Heather who created a stunning Open Spine journal with a wonderful tutorial that I’ll link below. You can also see pictures @stonenest55 on Instagram.
You can find all of Heather’s beautiful kits in her Etsy shop linked below.
These journals are available FOR SALE upon completion, but you can comment below or message me on Instagram or through my ETSY shop to reserve now! I hope you enjoy today’s video and will find some inspiration here too! I appreciate every one of you being here, and I am so grateful for your friendship and love on all my videos! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share xoxo

[@annerdner9889]

Beautiful!!

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Anne! xoxo

[@jeangreen1810]

Love all these papers and your version of the lace binding journal is, dare I say, gorgeous! I’ve just bought the fancy ledger. If I iron the sari I damp it first then iron with a cool iron. 👳‍♀️💌💖

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Jean!! And that’s a great idea for the sari, thank you!! You will use those Fancy Ledger papers over and over again, they’re so pretty! xoxo

[@shellylaw4]

Meredith, these are so pretty! I’m going to try to make one. Yes, I do iron my sari. Not always but very often. I get my sari from the place in Tucson also! Thank you for sharing this! ❤️

[@MeredithHenning]

Shelly! That’s awesome! I’m a fan of the quick shipping and great prices! I can’t wait to see your version of these pretty journals! xoxo

[@susafoe]

This is such a pretty way to create a quick but super gorgeous little journal. Beautiful papers and lace you used. Thanks so much for sharing. 😍 Will definetely re-watch Heather's video as well.🥰

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Sue! So glad you enjoyed! Heather’s version is gorgeous🤩

[@debragrindrod4924]

I have ironed sari several times with no problems!

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Debra!! xoxo

[@rosehillpapercottage7179]

These are darling Meredith! I’ve always loved this style of creating a journal. It’s just soooo dreamy😍😍😍

[@rosehillpapercottage7179]

Also, I sometimes iron my sari and sometimes I don’t….and sometimes I iron it and crumple it again how I want😂 It all depends on the look I’m going for but mostly I don’t bother. You can iron it on the silk setting too🤍🤍🤍

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much sweetie!! xoxo

[@MeredithHenning]

@@rosehillpapercottage7179 LOL!!! I love it, I’m a paper crumpler so I guess sari crumpling makes sense too 🤣

[@RaindropLila7]

I loved watching your process! They are so beautiful, Meredith! I don't usually iron my sari.

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Lidia!! I’m thinking I need to make some with your Old Soul and Olivia Grace kits so I can use them again, obsessed 🤣

[@RaindropLila7]

[@TheJournalCottage]

Helllo, Meredith, so happy to be here . Oh my goodness, I love the image you chose for the cover !! And one of my favorite wall papers of Heathers as well as one of my favorite junkjournal binding methods ! Remember seeing this “series” of hers on the graphic fairy! Thank you so very much for brining it back ! And you have truly done a wonderful job. Everything is gorgeous, Meredith. Love the lace you chose for your journal as well ! Hope you enjoy the rest of your week xx Cheryl 💜

Hi there 😊😊, this is super cute and a fun video 😊😊😊. Thx for sharing 💕.

[@MeredithHenning]

@@GingerUrban-f3z thank you so much 😊 💖

[@JournalBreezeYT]

Love how they turned out Meredith!! Heather's papers are so gorgeous, as are your lace hinges. The white hinges you didn't use would look beautiful with the black and white flower cover you mentioned. TFS!💕💕

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Kimberly!! And YES!!! They totally would, I’m going to try it!! TFW 😘

[@DorothyJanetoo]

Oh Heather - I love both of these and thanks so much for the tutorial. I have always wanted to make one of these!

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you Dorothy, I loved Heather’s tutorial and was immediately inspired to make these!! Super fun and easy! TFW xoxo

[@janehunt6386]

Beautiful video. Silk disintegrates with Eucalyptus and heat. However I would use wet tea towel between the fabric & iron if it needs ironing.

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Jane!! Appreciate you watching xoxo

[@NormaBennettSYD]

The neutral palette is wonderful, love the cover image ❤ I've been watching Heather's video again recently too, the rustic style of the open spine is very appealing.

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Norma and I agree!! Loving the simple rustic look lately! xoxo

[@rubyandpearlxo]

Oh these turned out so pretty!!! I am so glad you shared creating these!!! I think that binding style is so easy and always turns out so pretty!! Love love how you used those papers for the cover.. everything is stunning! Thank you Meredith! 😘💕💕 Also you can use a flat iron curling iron to iron your sari.. easy and quick!

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Heather and oh my goodness, never would have thought of the straightening iron, brilliant!! I’m going to try it now 🥰😘

[@shellylaw4]

@@rubyandpearlxo what a great idea!

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

Awesome Willa, you will love working with these beautiful kits! So inspiring and pretty! TFW xoxo

[@SewHappy061]

These are so gorgeous. You've inspired me! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much and yay!! I hope you make one! TFW xoxo

[@jupiterarts_crafts]

They’re both so lovely Meredith and love the papers you put together, Iove that Crème Brûlée kit as well as the gorgeous Yellow Rose print. Yes, I do iron sari silks sometimes at really low setting, but most of the time they just look great wrinkly😍

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Virginia!! And thanks for the sari advice! Will try xoxo

[@VintiqueChic]

So beautiful Meredith ! I love the digitals and lace that you used. So inspiring!

[@MeredithHenning]

I love the laces you used in your open spine journals! I've made a couple of these little journals - just love how fun they are to make. Meredith - yours came out so pretty! 💛

[@MeredithHenning]

Yes Sue!! You totally should, so fun! xoxo

[@melodyfisher1512]

I love these, Meredith! I just watched Heather’s tutorial (for the umpteenth time, lol) and here you are with these beauties! I’ll take it as a sign that I should make one as my next journal. I agree with you about the cover on the second one…soooo pretty. The sari and lace really compliments it, too. Oh, and I don’t iron my sari…I like it crumpled! Thank you, Meredith…😊💕

[@MeredithHenning]

Thank you so much Melody and LOL, how many times have we all watched Heather’s amazing videos, so inspiring and now YES it’s time to make one!! Thank you on the sari tip too, I do like the crinkly as well xoxo
