Junk Journal ~ Using Up Book Pages Ep 46 ~ Easy Book Page and Napkin Journal Cards! :)

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hello all! I was wondering folks... Do you make things like journal cards) to have a stockpile to pick from at the ready or do you make as you go for a specific journal?

[@oneeyeopen5044]

Pam 💜♥️. Ty again for another wonderful idea!! I I can’t cut a straight line for nothing. LOL

[@theresasuttle711]

I do both. I like to stock pile but sometimes the ‘theme’ of the journal calls for something different than what I have.

[@Sweetje81]

I try and mak ethem in all colors cause these are my favorite to do! Again a video that is so pretty!

[@JOBETHSEXTONSCraftyCauldron]

I do it both ways, depending on the journal. If I am making for a specific person, I make most things up as I go along. But, if I am putting together a general, junk journal, I just make up a bunch of stuff and then use those.

[@elainet5870]

I do both. I especially like to make things in front of tv. So those items often become my make aheads.

[@megperry5586]

I watched your video on making a junk journal because I was thinking...why would anyone want a journal made with junk....Good Lord help me I am afraid I found my addiction. I still can't say that I would ever write in one of these beautiful pieces of junk art but they have captured my very crafty soul. Love your art and easy going ways, thank you....off to goodwill for some junk nature books that i won't mind cutting up.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Meg! Welcome to the family! Boy can I relate! Everything will soon look like fair fodder for a journal! Come down the rabbit hole with the rest of us! Its fun to make journals of all kinds! And always remember! Its only paper :)

[@wilhelminabezuidenhoudt5702]

Thank you so much.... I love listening to you. You are such an inspiration. Have a blessed day

This only serves to feed my current obsession with napkins, and gilding paste, thank you. ~ Lisa

[@vickievegas1837]

L B I am obsessed with napkins! I have a drawer full! I wish they sold them in five packs so I wouldn’t have to buy 20 of the same design. I should start a napkin trading club!

[@LB-vl3qn]

@@vickievegas1837 You should! I'll participate. I could start a store with all the napkins I've got.

LOL, I think we need more napkin videos :) I have a ton that need using up :)

[@donnaflorian554]

I love seeing the finished product. This helps me to decide if I want to watch any farther.

They are just beautiful

[@Dezertroze43]

Absolutely fantastic video. Thank u.

[@donnamatoi5256]

Pam I have to tell you that I really enjoy your videos and you have helped me to start my day on a happy note. My husband and I live with my 93 yr old father in law to help him out, well this past month he has drastically declined and finally is at peace this past Monday. I was watching your video and it really kept my spirits up and today is the first day I had time to sit and have my coffee and to watch you! Thank you for being there and keeping my spirits up! I will still continue my ritual, but at least I know I won’t be heading into a long day. ❤️

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Donna, I had no idea! I am very sorry for your loss. He was lucky to have you as family for sure. I wish you much relaxation and rejuvenation when possible. Many blessings to you and your husband.

[@chrishosek6636]

Just love these napkin tags.

[@laruecampbell498]

Soo enjoyable...fun fun...the napkin trick works beautifully..and the sanding block is amazing...thanks IT'S SUCH A DELIGHT TO HEAR THE PARROT 🎵

[@juneribbons5196]

I've been doing a little of both. The first tech that I made were supposed to be to hold my altered dominos and I did mass production. Then I got a little to fancy and they overwhelmed the dominos. So I have a bunch of them. Then my things were packed and I was watching utube and saw junk journals and fell in love with these and I made the epherma as I went. I did do some mass making of paper clusters when I had no cord to sew signatures into 9 to12 journals. Now I've moved again and my craft materials are again all packed and not crafting was driving me crazy so I had found some of my fabric scraps and lace drawers so I mass made fabric clusters. NIW I'm playing with envelops. I bought a little book to cut up and have made a couple of multiple pocket cards. I made 2 purple card sized that I was going to make into flips, but they would look lovely on journal fronts so I want to mass make more similar to those. I love these little ones. Espically the way you made the heart

[@rhondaerickson1180]

I just love you! You are so fun and I just love your style! Thanks so much for all your great ideas!

That napkin/tape trick! 🤯 And the gesso trick to calm down the shine from stickers. Wow! This is the first video I have watched of yours, but already a fan!

Hello I am Rosita from the Netherlands, I watch your videos, nice and busy, inspiring, thank you

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Rosita from the Netherlands! Welcome to the family! :)

[@arizonamonarch]

I don't know where you come up with all of these fantastic ideas, but I just LOVE this one! I have so many napkins that I use in decorating the junk mail envelopes and would love to use them somehow in my journals. I used to try to make/find supplies as I went along but, thanks to you, I now have a great time making and stockpiling ephemera. I'm a Stickles addict now, too, LOL. Like you, I have to consciously move my work to a drying area or I'm constantly smearing Stickle art. You've given so many of us the inspiration and simple ways to become crafters. Not sure I can express just how thankful I am for all you do. Thank you and God Bless!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

This really touched me! Thanks! So happy we share some time together :)

[@barbaracabrera207]

So love these Pam,ur awesome techniques r so beautiful! Could watch all day! But then there's life! Hugs to Sunny!

[@overflowmiss]

Hi Pam, I've watched many of your tutorials but not commented thus far....a little remiss of me! I'll stand myself in the corner for a bit...but what I wanted to say is that I love you come what may attitude, the way that you demonstrate, explain, talk yourself through your tutes. You are so endearing. I also love that your worktop is not pristine, but shows the wear and tear of crafting. Thank you for your tutes and the manner in which you share your love for crafting. oh btw, I love how you used the sanding block to remove the tissue from around the journalling card, but though it was too cumbersome to use on the heart. You could use an emery board on smaller, more intricate objects like the heart. That's what I thought you were going to do. Regardless, thanks for the lessons and the laughs. Jude in the land of Oz!

[@shannonarmstrong9571]

More great offerings from the Outpost! So glad to know about the clear matte gesso. I enjoy mass making. When I deconstruct a book I separate the pages into piles: envelopes, fussy cuts, pockets, etc. Then I do the basics, faux stitching, inking, background stenciling...it’s nice to just open a box or two, pull a few things out and then go to town customizing!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Awesome ideas Shannon! TFS! :)

[@sarahjokerst6096]

Thanks, Pam for a great idea! I spent my day in quarantine doing a variety of book page tags with the napkins. I love them! I appreciate the tutorial of pulling both plys from the napkin. I had previously ended up with "puffy" napkin projects and now I know it's because I didn't get rid of both plys.

[@dottiewatson3394]

Beautiful tags

[@saduck1]

Yes I do on cards and I make ahead little pockets out of toilet paper rolls. Then I can just grab one when working on a journal. Big plus I can do them when I’m tired they are fun and fast!

[@KerrieDuff]

Oooh I knew there must be something I could make out of the rolls. I used to collect them to fill and make crackers for Christmas but then got too many so chucked.

[@lindasonnenberg3704]

These are pretty! To answer your question...I'm a beginner so I'm making them as I go. It would be fun to have a stockpile tho.

I go through old cards & cut out words, and some magazines too. Also I cut out large numbers and large letters which look good to have just one of them on a page or card. Also the large fancy script capital letters look good, such as an E or W.

[@1888starz]

I love all your journal cards, such beautiful imagery and those blings are adorable. Journal cards are great no matter what size. This has inspired me to try some. You make them like I do, always gluing the ends to make them just right. That tape trick is great too! Love that sanding block, I have one & now I'll use it. Thanks for tips/tricks. Great video.
