How To Make Window Style Journal Covers | Step By Step Tutorial

[@MandaFandaa]

This is gorgeous. I always appreciate how you go out of your way to show how to do certain techniques without fancy tools.

[@JohannaClough]

Thank you so much! I know most people don’t have all these tools! ♥️

[@bradleyyael6853]

I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me!

@Bradley Yael Instablaster =)

[@bradleyyael6853]

@Genesis Davis thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Lovely! I am usually more a viewer than a commenter but I want to say how much I appreciate how much I learn from you. Thank you for sharing!!

[@JohannaClough]

Thank you for commenting today 🥰🤗

I love this tutorial and have seen it several times, but never made my own journal in this style. Today I finally started working on a cover inspired by this journal, I'm using a Cicely Mary Barker fairy image in my window and thinking the background colour will be lavender. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and inspiring us with your unique creativity Johannah.

Love everything you do! You’re the reason I junk journal. I started with the “Nameless” hard cover, crackled window journal about a year ago and am still clinging to the soft cover fabric window journal you last did. I n can safely say, I know what my next journal will be now! Oh, and I recently got a die cut machine but it never occurred to me to use it (duh!) for the cut out on the cover which is historically my nemesis!

[@longdaysjournal]

Love for you to see how my botanical birdie window journal cover turned out!

[@lacynicolecreates2035]

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing your process and tips. I found junk journaling by accident last year and have been enjoying the creativity ever since.

[@akamiss99]

This is a beautiful project, thank you for sharing. I especially liked your simple, clear, instructions that anyone can follow 🧡

[@joshenyou360]

I love this technique! I will be trying this. Thank you so much

[@marybethschuiteman484]

Thank you so much for your expertise and encouragement. You have been my "go-to" girl for my reletively new junk journal journey. I absolutely love my nameless journal. I love the colors you chose for the crackle look on your cover. Can't wait to see what's up next.💕💜 From the U.S.A.

[@elenalaskari4739]

Dear Johanna, I always loved your window style covers and the distress look you give to them with the crackle paint!😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing the how to of these! I'd love to try making one for myself! ❤❤❤❤

[@sassyh154]

Love this Johanna... Was watching your new personal journal video to come here... Seems like I could do this... It is a great step by step tutorial... Cheers for Sharing...

[@joannekempf3350]

[@loveandpapercuts2988]

Lovely as always! Thank you for sharing! I will have to see if I can do this with my electric cutting machine. I love the circles the best! Would love to see a tutorial of “waterfall style” Christmas journals?

[@tuesdaymoriarty8655]

[@PinkOddBird]

Super pretty! Love your frame style covers! Thank you for sharing your process with us ❤️

Thank you!!

[@delightfulcreationsbyamber]

Hello Johanna I’m a new stubbier from Juni’s channel. I have watched a few of your videos so far. You have a wonderful style of creating. This is such a lovely journal cover I will give this window version a try.

[@korsgaardjournals1422]

One of my wishes are absolutely a die cut but I have sad when I sell one of my journals I will buy one and the next is a trimmer where I never have to change the blade. I use a lot of money on just the blade to my Fiskars trimmer. The cover looks SO beautiful and spectacular 😍 I really appreciate you to share your ideas Hugs and blessings from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@JohannaClough]

It’s good to practice with what you have until then! I didn’t have one either for a long time, but definitely a game changer!! ♥️

[@weaver7249]

[@bella-jo8zn]

[@rajaniyadav9140]

Da paint is soooo soooo beautiful ❤ Wr did u get it?

Thank you SO much🌻 really appreciated

[@JohannaClough]

My pleasure 😊

[@Zynartrax]

It looks so gorgeous, I can't wait to see what you'll add on the inside! Thank you for being such an inspiration. Is that picture by Eloise Wilkin? She has such a soft, warm style to her drawings, I'm really glad you introduced me to her work :) I hope you and your loved ones are well and safe (been hearing terrible news about the fires), wishing you all the best. x

[@JohannaClough]

Thank you so much! ♥️ Yes it is! 😍 could never get sick of her work!

[@haleygoldsmith9550]

Love this!!! Could you do a DIY for soft covered journals?

[@JohannaClough]

Yes! I also have a few already on my channel 😊

[@riteasrain]

It's lovely, thanks for the tips :)

[@magicalsoulvibes6813]

Hi wat did u use for the gold on the cover please?

[@sabrinaandbenji1390]

Very awesome tutorial!! Thank you,. I also want to know how you made the base of the book cover like the white part in the veery beginning of the video that you glued the cardboard to, please and thanks, you are awesome Johanna

[@JohannaClough]

I can’t do a video on that part as people have purchased the tutorial from my etsy shop, but i’m sure you could find a video that shows similar x

[@yvonnedebruin595]

Fantastic 🙂. Thank you for sharing.

[@Anna-de4mu]

So lovey 💕😊

[@mumusjourney1811]

Thanks for sharing! Loved it! A cover tutorial would be awesome from the begining ^_^

[@ozinesz]

Thank you so much for showing us this! I always wondered when you put the photo in. Now I know it’s one of the last steps. Thank you! I also downloaded your tutorial on Etsy, so now I can really make my own covers with my own photos/images. I do have one question: when you put on the varnish, do you also varnish the image on your journal cover?

[@JohannaClough]

Thank you ☺️ yes you should varnish everything including the image! It will keep it protected and stop anything getting marked, chipped or scratched x

[@sherylbotulenko8843]

Do you have a specific paint you prefer?

[@anitalonn63]

Hi Johanna , Thank you for sharing :-) I wonder what size is the junk journal and the travel journal you making in your videos, in cm ? Thank you :-)

[@Anna-hz7jn]

Hallo Johanna, thank you for this video. Please can you tell me something about the crackle medium. How long must it dry before I take the last acryl paint on it? I m from Germany and my English is bad, sorry. Hope you or anyone else can help me. Greetings from Germany

[@craftyteacup8852]

What is the measurements to your beautiful blue book? ......I want to make that same size book 💕💗💕💗💕

[@claudiainman5749]

Thank you so much for share!

[@lydiasabina]

Very nice.. Please do more tutorials. May i know the dimensions for

[@szvetlana1000]

The image is wonderful! I have an older daughter who is brunette and her little sister is blonde, just like on the image. Can you tell me which book is the image from? I would love to find it

[@JohannaClough]

It is from a child’s garden of verses by eloise wilkin
