POP-UP features in your junk journal are easy - learn how!

How do you add delightful, unusual surprises to your journals, notebooks, and folios? A simple circle or image cut-out can become a super-fun pop-up, and it’s WAY easier than you may have imagined! Join me as I show you two simple ways to do it.
Also in this video:
“When’s My Birthday?” by Julie Fogliano and Christian Robinson was such great source material for this project, and I was so lucky to find this worn-out copy that was headed to the shredder. If you were as captivated by it as I was, here’s the Amazon link! (But I’d advise letting your little ones enjoy it in its original form long before you take your scissors to it!)

As someone who was memorably bad at solid geometry many decades ago, your careful instructions and the VERY cool result are so wonderfully appreciated. It really is amazing! 🥰

[@annekenlon]

Oh, Judy, you have me chuckling. I must admit, I also had memories of my high school geometry teacher, Mr. Hutton, as I was doing this. Hope you try the technique - with Beethoven in the background, of course!

Hello Anne! What an intriguing new idea to add to journal making. I love the pop-ups. As a retired elementary teacher, I truly appreciate the artwork from the little reader. I think even picking up children's books at thrift stores to use the artwork and photographs in is such fun. I did a little Journal that featured the Winnie the Pooh characters throughout when I reclaimed the artwork from a book that was falling apart. I was able to use primary colors for pages to make the images stand out and totally loved it. I passed it along to a friend that had a new baby boy so that she could do a little journaling about his journey into the world and she could add photos. It could be little brag books for grandmas that could be easily carried in a purse. You did such an amazing job teaching everyone the mechanics of making these pop-ups. The one with the rose is so adorable. I could also see turning one of these little folios into a Christmas gift card holder putting a gift card in each pocket with the sentiment added to the top as the pop-up. Yes, I also come from card making background. I'm sort of in the Christmas in July card making mode currently and thought I would make a few of the gift card ideas for a card swap that I am involved in. The swap won't actually happen until October, so I have lots of time to create.😊 ❤Thanks for the inspiration as always.

Such sweet observations, Pam, thank you so much!

How fun and positively original ❤ The idea of a pop-up as part of a journal is fantastic! Really very unexpected and such a nice surprise 🎉 Thank you, Anne. Fantastic Project. ❤❤❤

[@annekenlon]

Thank you, Julie! That element of surprise really is fun, isn't it? I think I'll be doing more of these - it turned out to be so much easier than I expected.

Hi Anne! Love the pop-ups! You are an excellent teacher and always give us clear and simple instructions. Math is everywhere! TFS!🩷🩷🌹🌹

Thank you, Marcia! Yes, we spend a lot of time talking about math and geometry with our little grandson. He just loves math - more so than I did as a youngster, but I love it now!

[@annekenlon]

Way to go! I'm delighted it worked for you - have fun making more!

[@KimberlyChristy-ql8ww]

I may have spoke too soon, it's not fully popping up. I'll keep trying 😂

[@theresa_lili]

If you want to learn pop-ups Michael Jacobs has several. His other books are wonderful paper craft books as well.

[@annekenlon]

I’ll look him up, thanks! 😊

[@kathythomas671]

Hello Ann, Is there a chance you might do a video how to get started on a junk journal from the beginning? Thank you!

[@annekenlon]

Kathy, I will absolutely do just that! I've had a couple of other folks ask for something similar so I'm glad there's interest in it. I'm just back from another camping trip so I'll put this on my list to start working on very soon . Thanks so much!

[@MarisolNoriega-yz1zb]

I would like that to

[@kathythomas671]
