BOOK COVER IDEA! MYSTERIOUS JUNK JOURNAL! Step by Step Tutorial to Create Book Cover! Paper Outpost

[@barbaraburgdorff7025]

Pam, I must say that you are in rare form today. I haven't laughed this hard since the last time you were on a roll. Yes, I would rather have a paint type brush than a candle for Christmas. Yes, I would cut the back out of a top or shirt (maybe) if it suited my needs. You have a gift for not only sharing your artistic talent, but you share your love of crafts, of life, your pets. I just feel happy after spending a hour with you. I thank you. Barbara in Texas

[@tcovington0711]

I feel the same Barbara, your Oklahoma sister Terri...just give me some Pam and Sunny...n im happy for the rest of the day...

[@lagreno11]

I feel the same from Spain. Love u all 💕

[@lindamaynard9404]

I think we need T-shirts with Sunny on them ❣️

[@GrumpyManatee]

The dog has the best face. It's like annoyed acceptance. Perfection.

[@Cinditaylor234]

This is awesome......really awesome! Problem is, I sit and binge watch your videos for hours! HOURS! My floor needs sweeping and mopping, and yet I sit and watch a ton of your videos.

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a wonderful day! 🥰 Pam, this is a beautiful cover. I love the grunge factor. I loved the cheerleading story. I cracked up but it also made me a little sad. I was a professional ballet dancer and teacher, and so when I had kids I made it my mission to teach every kid in the neighborhood how to do cartwheels because there is nothing more fun, as a kid, to do a bunch of cartwheels in a row until you get dizzy! 🤣🤣One of my daughters turned out to be a gymnast. Thank you for the video and sharing Sunny and Holly with us. Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️

[@michele3438]

Pam you know what matters. Love, kindness and fun. Love your videos. God bless everyone happy crafting.

[@dioneglenn7692]

Oh oh oh grunge the edges of the book!!! That would make roses pop!!! I love this idea!!

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

I saw a suggestion a while ago to use a small silicon jar opener at my desk to set the ink/oxide on when swiping with daubers. It keeps the ink from moving around when trying to work one handed. Works well.

[@michellejanossy8186]

Great to hear Holly! Missed him in the last video.🦜 Great idea using a bone folder to separate the spine! From a medical perspective that is an odd sentence! 😂 Thanks for all you do Pam and fam! 💕

[@cgbyfran9697]

🤣🤣🤣

[@theresewallentin2856]

Beautiful book cover Pam. Great that the audience don’t know the “word” before they start watching the video and when they have, no one can abandon you because of a “word”. So cute that it’s Sunny’s videos 🐻‍❄️💙 Have a wonderful weekend ☀️ and big hugs to the entire Pamily ❤️

[@TheAAdele05]

Hello Pam! I can’t say I like just one thing about this project, I like everything! Color, birds, roses, sewing stitch……everything! 😃

[@angellove2911]

This looks so cool! Does anyone else see the spooky face in the fabric?? Very eerie😯

[@darlenesmith7154]

Still working on my beautiful..(yes..I I'm learning from you and it's beautiful) junk journal.....the gator mouth is very wide...book is filled with what I've learned from you...thank you Pam...Sunny and birdies.for your channel....you are great.......people..make a journal. !!!!!💕💕

[@trntrry43]

I ALWAYS cut the corners short! Since watching you I now do the corner tuck and no more peeking corners!!! Thanks for all your ideas and I just love your videos!!

[@karenvilleda888]

Wow! Sunny memorized it all!! 🐶 he’s so smart! I wonder what other things he can do 🤔

[@livingroomcrafts1237]

Your video's inspire me to do these too and the way you teach/show us all how to do these is just wonderful. Thank you so much for doing all of these video's for us all. I appreciate you so much for these it gives me the courage to do them too. I was that person too I couldn't do the cartwheel either and still can't.

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good afternoon Pam and Outpost peoples! 💕 Enjoying this! Last journal I made, I lost a good 3 inches of cover fabric on one side due to crooked tearing. Ended up using the piece for inside cover (barely fit!) rather than outside. 🙄 Woe to me who loves torn edges. The struggle is real. 😆 Have a great weekend all! 💕

[@lalagamma4452]

Loving it Pam! Positive Healing Vibes and prayers for you and your fur and feathered family! Be safe💕🐞 Namaste 🥰

[@Zandain]

What an amazing idea! - for my own taste..I would bring out the gilding too; just a smidgen, to highlight the roses 😉🌹 I am also a big believer in 'happy little accidents' they make life much more quirky! 🤣 Thanks for the inspiration, Pam 🥰 🐾 hugs-a-plenty, for Sunshine 🐾 and the feathered hoard 🦜🪶 hello from Denmark 🌸🌱

[@TheOldladyB]

I really like that idea for a cover. FYI. What I do with dull needles and exacto knife blades, I have a pill bottle that I wrote used on and I put everything in there. Works great.

[@cathlynballard8409]

Perfect cover for the photo album of a Halloween Costume Party! Looks like the engraving on a tombstone and mummy wrappings. I loved this!

[@loisfrancis7896]

Yes Pam when you compare it to all other things it is not so important any more life is to short have fun

[@rosemaryaugustine130]

I never knew about the lines to break off the edge of the craft knife.i won’t be throwing away any more when they dull. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks!!

[@sandrabooth7642]

Absolutely off the scale. Fabulous. THANKYOU 😊😊

[@janillingsworth7478]

That cover is very pretty in a grungy way. You are very entertaining.💗

[@emmkaa2099]

IDK if I can say this is "beautiful" because of its spookiness but I will say that it's "ultra-bitchen" (I figure that if my high school teacher could say that outloud in the '70's I can type it here). The modeling paste rose front cover is **chef's kiss** - I've never seen that done before, and the totally on-purpose wonky stitching inside the front covers, might I say, well played... NAY, PERFECTLY executed. That bird stencil might be a must-have too... its very spooky here and at the same time I can see it being a beautiful addition in any nature journal. My compliments here, Miss Pam! Love and hugs , MK ♥️🤗🏜🤗♥️

[@juliemonroe105]

Pam, what a neat project. Happy to learn these fun techniques & ideas.

[@ammother]

I absolutely love this. Now if I could only figure out to get my tea towel to look like yours. So. good!

[@carmenzermeno7707]

I love this grunge book cover. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity. I learn so much from you😄❤️👍

[@kathydellit4235]

Hi Pam , that rose is just amazingly gorgeous I just ❤❤❤ it is much 😊. The whole book cover is absolutely gorgeous

[@kiminalaska9363]

Loved this tutorial so much I watched it 2 times back to back. Ok, well, I fell asleep thru part of it the first time but that doesn’t mean I thought it was boring.

[@peglamphier4745]

I've been cheating on you, Pam, with ladies making dragon eye book covers, but I'm back now, contrite and ashamed of my straying ways. You are just more fun than all the rest. And you do such great things.

[@thecreatorsattic]

On my channel, I sand the (gold/title color) writing down with a sanding sponge/block. I use a 60 or an 80. If you want to strengthen it, I just use the Mod Podge over the spine, (The purple labeled Modge Podge, because it has a sealer in it, also) and it eradicates the title. Love this video!

[@aducksaysmoo]

Oh my god you make me laugh. I'm learning as much as I can from you as I gather supplies to make a junk journal for my daughter. Love this cover.

[@cathyyoung1165]

I just got a fairly stencil. I am glad you did this video. You must be a mind reader!

[@sarahslone8598]

Aww your puppy is so adorable

[@cynthiat6505]

Ordered from your Amazon page…and this demo was exactly what I needed!!! You’re always so timely! Please keep “yapping” because it’s delicious!!!

[@ajsinspiredlife665]

Super cool book idea and love the quote from John maxwell

[@leannel1381]

Absolutely spookiest! Lol! Oh man I need to quit my job so I can make more journals….lol! Been up since 3am. Couldn’t sleep! This made my very early morning! I really love the bird! ❤️📕

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

Love this cover…more play coming!

[@sunshinegirl8214]

OK Pam, I wondered about this one really…when you first started. I should have known you would end up with flying colors. Love it! 🧡

[@erikaf1215]

You always makes me laugh. I love your personality.

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Pam you are amazing. That's real cool. Love how you did the 🌹 rose ..the black is outstanding. Thanks so much for showing us how to make this cover. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.🤗🤗🤗 Hugs to the family..

[@gloriaskipper1691]

Hahahahaha! I can’t do a cartwheel! I LOVE that story Pam! I absolutely love all your stories! We have so much in common!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@teresabitterling3008]

thank you, i can't wait till i get home to give it a try.

[@ilakaiser3778]

A beautiful eerie cover.💜💜. A still bristle paint brush might help mold the fabric to the modeling paste. 💜🐞

[@debrak5314]

Love the spooky theme!!

[@pamclare6222]

Helpful Hint: I use a seam ripper to take the books off the spine. It zips right down the webbing material---no fuss and no muss. Spine maintained every time.

[@carmelarugel4722]

Your so entertaining. I love your work thank you for sharing your talent. Carmela

[@karenmack254]

Oooh! This came out really cool, Pam! Love it! 🥀

[@mrsdiana324]

Those cotten t towels take vegetable dyes really well beets onions kins etc

[@wendyschmidt4339]

I shouldn’t have sit in the back. You didn’t hear me yelling Spooky tree stencil. Maybe inside. Love this idea. Thank you so much for the dish towel tip. Living in a very Rural area supplies are far and few. Snuggles to Sunny❤

[@leisacarnahan7647]

That is an amazing cover. I love it.

[@sandikalin636]

Oh my, I LOVE this so much,. I just happen to have the towels to do this with. Fun to watch and loved the outcome ❤️❤️

[@karinroloff4562]

ah! very spooky....looking good....😻

[@betsaydabonilla5753]

Wow it’s beautiful

[@patriciarinaldi9390]

Kindred spirit ...no cartwheel and no split either I was a foot off the floor as a kid in ballet. You know what? I rather have art. I so get it. 🤣❤👋

[@SharonMiitchell]

Love this book cover

[@letha57]

[@vickygreen8064]

Quack, quack tape. Haha love it!

That was enjoyable thank you Pam

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Fabulous cover

[@susanthesassycrafter4620]

BEAUTIFUL!!!❤

[@lindahowe2293]

I save Tic Tac bottles or one could use an old prescription bottle to put bent pins, broken needles and dull cutter blades. They will stay confined and not bite anyone!

[@sherryliberto6749]

Beautiful cover. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Have a super fantastic weekend 💜 Sherry

[@maggielinstead6112]

You inspire me with every video.

[@brookeg8833]

I Was laughing hysterically when you were talking about hoarding. My husband says I'm a hoarder.I say no I'm not as I cut up an empty cracker box, save candy wrappers, collect materials from the thrift store, well you get the picture. Lol I also loved your album cover today.

[@terichiarelli6210]

Oh Wow! The cover is beautiful Pam!! I’m working on a mushroom book right now…thanks for the awesome digital prints🤗 FYI…if you tear your fabric once it will “right” itself…then all the other tears will be straight😊😉

[@Maggiesplace48]

Fabulous book cover tfs Pam...Kia Kaha...

[@bobbiehawkinsjsyharricot]

Love🖤 these spooky 👻 🥀✨💨 ideas Pam!! These step by step videos are my favourite 😍! I’ve finally begun my junk journal journey and I’m glued 😮🫠 no pun intended 😂 but I’m using every spare moment to work on it and when I’m not working, I’m watching you for ideas 💡 and if I’m not doing either of those I’m searching all over for things to use and add in everywhere I go.. you’ve opened my eyes 👀 to a whole new world 🌎 even if that’s a really cheese 🧀 fest Disney style line 🧜‍♀️🧚.. I just have to say thank you so much I really needed a focus my life and it’s great to have this abundance of skill and knowledge right here, so thank you 🙏 😊 blessings to you 🙌🕉🪙🏅🧩🧧🏷📄📑📜📃📒🗞📓📖🔖🗂📙📚🖇🖌✒️📝🧾💌🛍🧘🏼‍♀️✨🌬🫧

[@deannabates1575]

I never could do a cartwheel either. So we’re both in good company.

[@nancivessells1909]

WOW that is really cool. TFS

[@kristinaclark9162]

So beautiful!!

[@OrangeTabbyCat]

Are we making a Halloween journal all together now??? That would be THE BEST! Oh and another thing….linocut and linoprint! I have just ordered the tools. First time in 41 years I will do that again. All kinds of stamping and printing techniques interest me. I thought it would be great for junk journals. But I could be wrong, I still could cut some fingers off…..

[@caroltanzi29]

Pam: this journal cover is looking very unique! Can’t wait to see the next step. Carol from California

[@joanfriant211]

Great idea Pam!!!

[@nancythomas1954]

This was really cool! I think I may even have the right fabic stashed away ......hummm some where..... ;) Thank you Pam I really enjoyed your video, you make me smile, and I learn cool stuff!! Take care and be happy.

[@blazin_kitty]

Love this and the whole idea! Can’t wait to try this!

[@doreethorpe4800]

Love this cover Pam! Really love the idea of using the texture paste under the fabric. Gotta try it!

[@sherrydennis2419]

I love the look of this one!

[@rhondazamora8136]

I love this technique! Thanks, Pam.

[@kathylussier3633]

Such a fun video Pam, I have to tell you, it didn't scare me!!! lol

[@elizabethpatterson7465]

I am with you, Pam... have never done a cartwheel in my entire life!! 🤣 But I am intrigued by this book cover; I may have to try and give it a go!

[@dianahazelton1399]

am I the only one that answers Pam back when she ask questions lol

[@CoolTaxiDriver]

Is there a difference between Fabric Fix and FabriTac? They’re both made by Beacon.

[@paulomeedave1330]

Such a fun project 😁

[@pclouse07]

Pam, this may come as a shock to you…perhaps a revelation…but cartwheels are NOT necessary in the world of paper junk journals! 😂😅(However, being a great story teller is a wonderful asset!) So…no need to haul your asset outta here. 😉😆 I so LOVE your videos. Thank you for this idea. It’s gorgeous and just the right amount of grunge. ❤

[@number1nanaof2]

Totally loving this. Yes, black roses are great, and yours came out marvelously! Abby Sciuto on NCIS loved them. She was very Goth and a gift of a bouquet of black roses were well received...So yayyy for the black roses! I love the addition of the black bird. Perfect. Can't wait to see how this turns out. 🥰❤️🦇🪶🖤✔️....ps...I could never do a cartwheel either so don't feel left out. 🤸‍♂️😖🤪

[@cazmountain2066]

New to you but you do cheer me up xx

[@Solo3198-]

I love this cover!

[@jamiemiller5705]

Hi Pam, I love the look of this and was wondering if you can use the same concept, possibly using a file folder?

[@noraabner9985]

I use a small medication bottle to put blades in when full then place in trash.

[@kellybrush4803]

Hi Pam! Question for you...would you stitch your signatures in this book cover or would you stitch them to a piece of cardboard and glue in...or would either way work?

[@happymailmagic]

Love LOVE *L O V E* this Spooky Cover!!!

[@hcjdove372]

Love the cover. Hello Sonny. Another great tutorial.

[@barbkniess3985]

This would be a great idea for the Harry Potter journals that I am planning to make for my Daughter and her friend. Thanks Pam!

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I am hoping to make Harry Potter journals too if I have time. To be ready though I scanned some left over fabric from a HP quilt. Scanning isa great way to have themed paper.

[@barbkniess3985]

@@KelleysQuiltsandCruises Good idea as it is very difficult to find HP papers, even the hardcover books (my daughter won't let me use her set, lol).

[@hulie67Julie]

This cover is totally awesome
