Mini travel Journal

Hi lovely people,
Today I would be sharing an easy travel journal using the Papericious Let's Go paper pack. I love travelling ,clicking pics and thought a mini interactive travel journal would be a fun way to document the journey. So sit back, relax and enjoy the process. 
I made a 4 x 6 inch mini journal as these are easy to handle, infact you can make different ones for the various places you would be planning to visit and I am sure you would always cherish filling these.
I started with taking coordinating cardstock for the internal pages of the journal to the Let's Go paper pack. The cover of the mini journal is made using the kraft cardstock as its thick and sturdy for the journal.
Two pieces for cover pages and one for the spine. Round the corners of both the cover pages.
For the spine score at 1/2 inch. I have made three scored divisions to accommodate 5-6 pages. I would be using paper cord to tie all the pages to the spine. Punch holes at both the ends of the spine. 
 Use a good adhesive/tacky tape to join the spine and both cover and end page of the journal. 



 For the internal pages score in the center and punch holes in symmetry to the spine's punched holes.  
 
 Next step is lining the base pages and outer cover of the journal. I love this paper pack, it has very apt prints for the travel theme.




 For binding the pages to the spine, pass the paper cord/jute cord from the inside towards the outer spine and knot it. Its the easiest method of binding the pages to the spine. 











Hope you get inspired by this mini travel journal and do share your versions with us. 
Keep crafting

Easy Diwali Cards and Garland



Hello everyone!
 Heena here from bloomingpaperbuds.com. Today I have some easy Diwali cards and a tutorial for cute paper Diya garland to share using the Papericious Diwali paper pack. So Let's begin!

For this card, I have used white textured cardstock and Apple green coloured cardstock, I have created a watercoloured background on the textured cardstock and the lanterns and sentiments are fussy cut from the Diwali paper pack.


For this card, I have used the crocus coloured cardstock and chipboard elements from the Diwali themed chipboards. I  have cut small tiles of the pattern paper from Diwali pack and glued them using glue dots. The chipboard elements are heat embossed in gold.

Now let's begin with the tutorial, To make the paper diyas take a piece of cardstock and cut out a circle of diameter 5.5cms for the base. 

Now cut the circle in half.
Cut a piece of pattern paper 3 cms long and 14 cms wide, you can customize the size depending on how bigger or smaller you want the paper diyas to be. 
Now using a scoreboard, keep scoring at 1/4'' along the width. (you can skip this step and directly start making the folds)
Now make the accordion folds.
To make the flame, cut a teardrop shape out of a cardstock.
Apply a coat of clear drying glue and sprinkle golden glitter.
Now, first stick the flame on the base and fan out the pattern paper in a semicircle and stick it on the base using a hot glue gun.
Take a fine thread and secure it on the backside using a tape and the paper diya is ready! You can either tie the other end of the thread wherever you wish to hang them or stick them using a transparent tape. 
I hope you found my post inspirational, Thank you for visiting!
