Vintage vs. Clean: Two Fairie Wings Journals

Do you love the worn, vintage look? Or the simple clean feel? I'm here today to show you two journals made with the same materials but with a very different look. I share some tips, a suggested supply list, and a walk-through comparison of each journal so you can see the potential with just a few added ingredients. My tutorial as each of these handmade journals will be available in my Etsy shop as well. No matter your style, my tutorial works for either. Posting these in my Etsy shop on 06/23/20 at 6 p.m. EST. (U.S.)
AFTER THE VIDEO NOTE: In addition to the materials listed in the video, you'll need a 12 x 12 sheet of medium weight chipboard for the covers and spine of each journal.

The second one is A LOT prettier. Looks clean and fresh. Love it.

Thank you! 😊

Normally I love the shabby, stained pages. But the cheerful fairies look wonderful with the white, clean pages. Great books and thanks for showing both!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you Cindi. I agree with you. I'm usually more a vintage shabby girl, but I loved the clean white pages too. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for showing both versions of this journal - you have solidified my thoughts to go CAS with mine. Both are beautiful, but I like the brighter colors better.

[@mackinacdog]

I love the vintage version but both are gorgeous!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you Teresa! I agree about the vintage. It’s my favorite.

[@KristineDesignsHandmade]

This is my favorite G45 collection! I love the look of the two different size pages. I love how you used all of the new dies, too.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much! It was fun to make them two different ways.

[@UandMeGod]

FYI~ You are so incredibly talented! I love everything you create!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you SO much Michelle. You made my day. I’m delighted you liked the projects.

Annette, this couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've been collecting my supplies for a specific journal I have in mind for about 2 months now and was trying to decide on which presentation form I wanted to use. With your sharing of these two, I was able to make up my mind...I need to do both, lol. I'm even more excited about my project now! Thank you for sharing these side-by-side auditions. I am a big fan of your work. Donna, in California.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Donna Kennedy Hi Donna, thank you so much. I’m so happy you like them both. It’s fun to try them in slightly different styles. Enjoy!

[@olivemaycards]

The vintage version has a lot of dimension and texture but I love the clean bright colors of this collection, so I think I'd stick with the clean version. Thanks for sharing both though - it's great to see that you don't *have to* go vintage.

[@AnnetteGreen]

These are the comments I love to hear. Thank you. We all like different things, for sure, but it's so nice to see both versions to compare.

[@michellenettleton3748]

Vintage is my fave! ♥️

[@AnnetteGreen]

Mine too, I must admit!

[@stylesformiles79]

Both are just beautiful!

[@AnnetteGreen]

stylesformiles79 Thank you so much!

[@deborahcox3214]

These are fantastic, love how you show both styles with the same paper line. I see a tutorial buy in my future!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Deb! I hope you enjoy the tute. These are fun to make.

[@christinamorin3651]

Love these! Beautiful journals!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank you so much Christina!

[@cathyb2281]

Both journals are gorgeous tfs

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Cathy! So glad you like them.

[@UandMeGod]

Is the tutorial a video tutorial or written instructions??? I love these and would love to learn how to use my Graphic 45 paper in this way. I have a hard to following written only instructions.... Probably because I am newer to this sort of thing. lol

[@AnnetteGreen]

It’s written instructions with photos for all the steps. I try my best to make my directions super clear and easy to follow. If you purchase the tutorial and aren’t happy, please let me know and we can work something out. 😊

[@ThreeGsHomeschool]

I was looking at the tutorial listing and it said we would have to have 1 Fairie Wings Chipboard Pack. Where would I find this? Thank you for these beautiful books, I love them both and cant decide lol

[@AnnetteGreen]

Sorry for such a late response. It would be hard to find now since this is such an old collection now.

[@gerrybrow2144]

I like your fairy wings album but not the junk one but when you go yo buy them you have to buy both of them.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Both albums sold out quickly, separately. There is a listing for the tutorial which applies to either style. You simply decide how you want to make it, either clean or vintage, then follow the directions. Hopefully this clears it up for you.

[@ireneread2491]

I cannot find your tutorial on etsy????

[@AnnetteGreen]

Hi Irene, I'm late to respond here. Did you eventually find the tutorial? It's still there.
