Tutorial Part 3 | how to make a super easy no sew journal from a book | step by step

[@suzyemery]

How very cool...I would never have thought to stamp on something to make a tab! Genius Rachel! So happy whenever I see you have a video...because I feel like, whenever you do, that you and your family are well...!! Praying for you and everyone affected by this dreadful virus. Big hugs ♡ Suzy

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@dianecampbell5801]

Lulu is so sweet not wanting to disturb you and wanting to make stickers with you.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@dodipc]

So glad we have you to watch during these hard times and isolation. I look forward to your posts each and every day! Thank you, Rachel!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@bonniezieman3424]

1:30 a.m. Laying awake wondering what future holds and then I realize "I could watch Rachel instead!" A much better way to spend a sleepless night! This is going to be one great journal. Love all the different tags and stamps. Tfs.

[@roxycreations679]

Oh dear, we have a very uncertain future! I'm sure if everyone does their part to help get the virus under control everything will sort itself out! Thank you so much!

Bonjour,je suis Sophie(Dimitri c mon fils),merci bcp bcp pour ces 3 vidéos, je vous suis très régulièrement,en ces temps de confinement c encore mieux.Surtout continuez svp à nous inspirer.

[@sue_nz_kiwi2520]

We are now in lockdown here in New Zealand. Thankyou for all your videos which help to keep me sane lol

[@roxycreations679]

I hope you are well! Thank you so much 😊

[@sherryrector2275]

You go right ahead. It’s your project.

[@123.ABC.33]

I am really enjoying your work on this journal. As we sit in 'wait and see' in the USA I get to smile as you work. Thanks so much.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@melodywilloughby4041]

Very good Rachel. Glad you are all well. The front of the journal with your Moms creations are gorgeous. Now those would probably sell really well. Thanks.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@lorigordon1970]

Really enjoyed watching this project unfold. Thank you again for all the inspiration and entertainment.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@lynnsinclair123]

3:00 in the morning and, after watching you work on this journal, I can't wait to get into my craft room. Thanks, Rachel.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@jilldavidson2204]

Lorrimarie Jenkins has the best altered book instructions I think. She says to always have the spine flat on the table and hold the 2 pages to be glued vertically from the spine when you glue them. This way all the pages 'sprout' directly from the spine rather than becoming lumpy as they compensate for having to bend to lie flat. Love this work you are doing now.

[@lauragaudry3402]

A great journal! The simplicity leaves me yearning to fill it with all my thoughts and ideas! You are an artist! Oh, by the way, please ask Lulu to pass the strawberries, they sound delicious 😋. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️

[@roxycreations679]

They are really tastey at the moment! Thank you so much!

[@chaselip]

This was so fun and you are so funny. Thank uou😂😂💝💝

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@jetwasik1648]

These 2 KZbins were a lot of fun to watch. Especially liked the stamping. Can’t wait to see the other one. Tfs

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much 😊

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

I adore what you did with this no sew journal. I have to look and see if I have a book I could do that with, I know I have several spiral blank art books maybe I could use. I could really tell how much you enjoyed this project, good for you, it lifted my spirts to see how fun it was. 🌸😊🌸

[@roxycreations679]

It was a lot of fun! Thank you so much!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

It's looking really good. Mum's piece worked well on the cover

[@roxycreations679]

Thanks Sas, I really like making these. I did such a bad job with the first one ( the Jessie Chorley)

[@justjudycrafting7401]

Live this idea. It’s so therapeutic to watch someone stamp. You have some really great stamps.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@lorieedwards5770]

I love how this is turning out! I now know what's on my list next! Have a fabulous day and you guys stay safe . You are all in my prayers daily. Xoxo

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@susanhetler4704]

Love the stamped tags! Love watching you craft! Love hearing you and Lulu interact! Love chocolate 💜

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@PinkSallyProductions]

Really enjoying watching your process Rachel. Thank you for keeping me company whilst I’m in bed poorly (not with covid I hasten to add, which I am grateful for!) 🌹

[@roxycreations679]

I hope you feel better soon! Thank you so much! Hugs Rachel

[@PinkSallyProductions]

Thank you Rachel, I’m improving each day 😊🌹

[@feekyle3457]

Love this project. Have started one for myself. Thinking I’d collage in it every day now we are in lockdown here in NZ. 🤞

[@roxycreations679]

Great idea I might do one too! I love your collaging! Thank you so much 😊

[@debbymartens3453]

Love, love the altered book and love your gorgeous stamp collection. Have a lovely evening,

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@lynnwhittington2628]

This has been a great series. Loved this no sew journal.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@cwsowell]

Great project - love how it turned out! You do make it look so easy, but I know it's just a trick you play on us!

[@roxycreations679]

Nooooo! Thank you so much 😊

[@tfntexas]

That was so fun watching you work on this journal...it’s maybe my new favorite! I love all the stamping and tabs.

[@roxycreations679]

I enjoyed that part too! Thank you so much 😊

[@krissmith8857]

Loved the recycled paper tag! I think the plain back of the tag would look great with your little bitty bee stamp because it would bring out the washi tape on that page. Loving this series. Beautiful work!!

[@roxycreations679]

Oh I will have to have a look, great suggestion! Thank you so much!

[@candycanecreates]

This is wonderful, thank you! I have a really tall book and I wondered how I would get big enough pages for it, now I can try this and just use it's own pages. I'm so excited, thank you again!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much 😊

[@juliemarie1116]

I LOVE HEARING LULU* SHE IS SWEET BACK GROUND NOISE ;)

[@JOBETHSEXTONSCraftyCauldron]

You make this look so effortless. Everything just seems to fall into place. The journal is really nice! I love the tabs. Such a nice touch! Thank you for the video. It was good to spend time with you.

[@roxycreations679]

My thoughts exactly about the circle tab...going to do one of these for sure...I like the covered pages ❤️

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@juneribbons5196]

This book is totally awesome. I absolutely love the stamped papers. They are so cooI have a few stamps. A couple of butterflys and the alphebet with scrolls and a few that I got in a grab bag. I'm going to have to give this a try !!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@sveapea72]

This is beautiful Rachel. Love the colors 💚

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@andreajohnsMyPotteryBliss]

I ordered the makeup holder boxes you talked about the other day. They just arrived from Amazon and after sponging them down with antiseptic I had a fun hour or so reorganizing my clear stamps. I think I’m going to separate my wooden backed stamps from the wood part. The wood takes up so much room. I could free up quite a bit of space for other fun stuff if those darn stamps didn’t use so much room.

[@roxycreations679]

I love the drawers! It's so much easier to use the stamps now. Thank you so much!

[@patriciasilva9427]

Really like your videos. I think I saw almost all of them 🙂. And thank you for your great ideas

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@annettedepete4314]

Good idea you had making the tabs. Thank yoy😍🌴

[@AtSusiesCottage]

A great project Rachel, this style was the first one I ever made when I was still scared of sewing in signatures lol, a perfect thing to make while we are all stuck at home! Stay safe xxx💕

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@anita4291]

Love how it turned out! Tfs.

[@roxycreations679]

[@aprilcarter749]

OMGoodness, Ms. Roxy I just love this no sew journal, I’m so thankful to whomever asked you to do a tutorial on how-too! I just watched ALL 3-parts. I’m so excited to make one for myself, (a journal that lays flat) It takes you from making journals the same way all the time. Hope I can get the correct papers out of the book. And, I may ask what’s the measurements of the book? Thanks so much for sharing 😊🤗👍🏾💗!!

[@roxycreations679]

It's about 6''x9'' I think. Thank you so much!

[@ImGinaMarie]

Rachel as I sit and watch you I keep wondering about your versa fine clair....isn't it an embossing ink you use with embossing powder? I know you can use many different types of ink for embossing but versa fine is usually used for that purpose I'm thinking...just wondered... loving this journal...thanks so much for crafting with us, we love you! Also, what does clair mean in Italian? Clear??

[@roxycreations679]

I don’t know as I never used embossing powder. I’m not sure about Clair in Italian. Thank you so much 😊

[@andreastewart5722]

This is a project I’ve been meaning to do, thanks for the inspiration!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@dsflc]

Love it!!!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@sharonpetty6101]

Still want this journal if you can part with it!!! Love. Love. Love!!!@

[@iamwhatiam4075]

Love it!!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@zoramaeedmonds3677]

Hi Rachel, love this project so much 😍. Could you possibly tell us how many pages you ended up with? Can't remember if you have already mentioned it. Thank you, stay safe❣

[@roxycreations679]

I ended up with 16 pages (32 page faces). Thank you so much!

[@ephemeraphilesbytomi]

What are the interior dimensions of the drawers? Sometimes the seller only lists the exterior dimensions and it doesn’t quite work with one’s plan.

[@roxycreations679]

I didn’t have a plan. I would take 1.5-2 cm off the width to estimate the interior measurements

[@sarahhunnicutt3769]

Hi Rachel! I love your style. Where did you buy the turnip stamp that you said you bought because the seller Stamped it on the outside of your envelope? Just like many other people said I really appreciate being able to watch your videos during this challenging time. Thank you!

[@roxycreations679]

I bought it from Maki stamps on Etsy. They have wonderful stamps. Thank you so much!

[@janb2162]

I COULD HARDLY HEAR YOU THIS EPISODE..I CHECKED OTHER CHANNELS & MY PC INNER SOUND TESTS....THOSE WERE OK. THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO SHOW US THE GLUE BOOK TUTORIAL.

[@roxycreations679]

I haven't changed anything at my end the sound is the same as the other videos.

[@janb2162]

Oh My, Rachel, as I looked back on my comment...it appears as if I was shouting at you. (the capitalization and all)...I owe you an apology for such a loud complaint. 💗@@roxycreations679

[@zoramaeedmonds3677]

Ps could it be 15?

[@roxycreations679]

Close!!!

[@kathyjean4785]

❤️

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@kessell637]

And I enjoyed Lulu’s muffled chatter in the background. My own children are grown up, and I’ve retired from teaching: I miss young people’s voices.

[@marthamanigross]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️💕🤗🤗🤗

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@sarahhunnicutt3769]

I guess the stamp is actually a poppy seed pod...
