[@nancysale188]

I finally had the time to watch the complete video. Kyra~you did an amazing piece of art.....that is exactly what this cover is. I am going to try it....eventually....and I will probably watch this video many times. Thank you for showing us this. Blessings....

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Aw, thank you so much! 🤍I'm so glad to hear you really liked it, and am excited to hear you are going to try it! Best of luck with your journal! 🤍

[@susanmills9718]

Love your work Kyra, very beautiful and creative. Especially love the window spine with stitching!

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Thank you so much!🤍

[@chrisgibson8409]

Oh Wow!!! That turned out so very pretty!!! It definitely suits the style of the paper. I will keep this idea in mind when I do a journal that has a theme that it would look great with. Great work!!! 🥰💖

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Thank you so much! If you do give it a try, please share it with us on Facebook! I would love to see how it works out for you.🤍

[@anitabarker3125]

❤Excellent video. You give very good instructions. This journal is absolutely gorgeous. In my opinion it’s is one of the best you have made . Love ❤all your new ideas.

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Aw, thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! I wasn't sure how everyone would feel about the colors so this makes me really happy to hear!

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

Stunning! You really did a fabulous job. I love that you used what you had, because most of us would start with a cereal box (and have to paint it!) So I appreciate the clear instructions keeping it where we can actually do it without buying tons of new products. Gorgeous! Hugs ❤️🤗

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Thank you!! I'm glad you found it helpful and realistic. It was funny, I forgot to tell Steph I took the box, so when she got home I just got a text saying "The cereal is gone. What did you do with it?" hahaha 😂

[@helgafriese2724]

Thank You for this beautifull idea. I'm planung a lace journal to do, so now I can follow easy this tutorial ❤❤.

[@maryellenzamulinsky8470]

Absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@MichiP.]

so amazing 💙

[@creativeembellish]

Gorgeous!

[@Leena-jt8cm]

🥰 wow! Lovely!

[@leesam3012]

So pretty! ❤

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Thank you so much!

[@2CraftySeniors]

Very nice! 🥰 I like the feminine look that the pearls give. 😻 I also like the colours in this journal, although I usually prefer greens to blues. 😸 I also love the lace on the edges. I don't get out very often but really need to find some laces and haven't found any for a decent price online. I have plenty of ribbon, but not much lace... and the lace works much better. Walmart needs me to visit their crafting area. 🤣

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Haha, it's true! Walmart usually has some good sales on their laces so we grab a few now and again if we happen to be getting groceries. Everything is so expensive lately, so a bargain on lace is a must! Thanks so much for watching! 🤍

[@AJDRLD]

Thank you for the video. Been waiting for this one to pop up since you posted the others for this journal. Beautiful and love the tutorials on this and the pages 😊

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Thank you so much for waiting patiently! 🤍 It was a lot of fun to work on!

[@AJDRLD]

@@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340 is beautiful!! That and the Edgar Allen Poe are my favorite but you’re so creative with ideas I have many more favorites, it’s hard not to purchase everything LOL Your tutorials are very easy and fun to watch and enjoy. Love your videos. Thanks again.

[@hellehyldgaard8793]

Wonderful cover 💙🤍🩵 love those lace windows 🩵🤍💙 I think I’m going to try it, but I’ll be sewing the fabric towards the spine to make it cleaner looking 🙂

[@shirleyciphery1090]

I love this tutorial. You are very thorough in explaining all the steps involved. Thank you.

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Thank you!

[@terribradburn6685]

[@preciousmemoryboxesjunkjou3642]

Beautiful!

[@cheriehugler3302]

So beautiful!! I noticed your name on your glue... Kyra. My daughter's name is Kyria !! with an i but pronounced the same as yours

[@LuvsSno]

Amazon has a really great pair of Deckle scissors for sale.. I think my pear came from the UK.. didn't have any luck with the round Tim Holtz tool, and didn't see much results with the Tim Holtz Guillotine cutter edge..

[@sandralacey7395]

Your work is always so beautiful! Question, please. What is the curly stuff sometimes used to tie a journal shut or little pieces of embellishments.

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

We use a few different things: lace, sari silk ribbon, seam binding ribbon, twine, hemp string, etc. Hope that helps!

[@Imjinks64.]

That is DMC embroidery floss. There is a number on the tag that is the color in case someone asks for the color you are using

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Thanks for the tip!

[@marlenecampos1000]

Really Love it 💕 What do you do with all the journals? Do you keep them or give them away?

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Most of them sit on display in the craft room until we pull them for reference. We've had some talks about selling them since there has been interest, but we are still a little divided on that subject, so currently the shelf remains their happy home. :)

[@boredgrandmadesigns]

❤Beautifully done. This is a gorgeous, very elegant journal cover.

[@LeticiaUPC]

Hello! It's a beautiful craftwork! I have a question: if I want to sew signatures with this stitch, I just have to follow the way you did your faux ones with the signatures in, is that correct?

[@user-sb5tu9ml2g]

I have the same issues. I measure 5 times and still cut wrong. Lol

[@Imjinks64.]

If you do all the left to right at once then go back and do the right stitches. \\\ then /// this way both sides look good. Less back tracking

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

That would probably work too. :) Any way you want to do it!

[@Imjinks64.]

That is the proper way. I do counted cross stitch. Very fun. Just wanting to help if I could

[@cathiharris5809]

Can you share the size of that die cut frame, both outside dimensions and inside hole dimensions? I purchased a real pretty one but it is way too small. Thanks for any help you can offer?

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Hello! The outside is about 5 inches x 6 inches (wxh) and the inside is around 4 inches x 5 inches (wxh). Hope this helps!

[@dorothygrissom1846]

I have searched everywhere and cannot find the ornate oval die cut frame you used in this video. Will you please provide a direct link to purchase one? Thank you.

[@myporchprints-junkjournalt5340]

Hello! Down in the description box under the "Crafting Supplies We Use" section towards the bottom is a link for chip board die cuts. Unfortunately the one used here isn't sold any more, but you can find similar items with that link. Hope this helps!

[@pjjaco4177]

Absolutely beautiful!
