Journals for Sale on Etsy

Hello everyone!

I have been asked whether I was making journals for sale, and as a matter of fact I have never done it before. I have of course sold some of my works if I was asked for something specific, but I have never created journals with the purpose of selling them in the first place. 

Well, since there has been an interest, there are now 4 mini journals available for sale in my Etsy:
Journal 1 
Journal 2

Journal 3

Journal 4

Each one measures 4 3/4" X 5 3/4" and has a 2" wide spine. 

The covers have been wrapped in fabric and have a decorative paper on top in the front, whereas the back is fabric only. The spines and the band-closures are made with genuine leather. Three out of four journals have tiny pressed flowers encased in the printed specimen slides in the front, and one journal has a printed image with the flowers instead. 

Each journal has 3 signatures and a little add-on notebook. I have used various kinds of papers alongside different book pages, as well as digital printables from many creators, including myself :)

I heat stamped the words "Nature Journal" in the front of the band closures. On some leather types the words came out less distinct. I need to practice this technique more and experiment with different thicknesses of leather. 

Here are all 4 journals together:

I have a flip though of each journal in the video format:

I hope you like the journals and find them inspiring. 

Thanks for hanging out with me :)

A new digital kit in my Etsy store and a Ko-Fi freebie

Hello!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer. Here in Texas the temperatures keep on rising and it's way better to be in- than outside. Early mornings begin with close to 83 degrees (+28°C). It's hot! :)

Anyways, there are a few updated that I wanted to share on the blog:

1 - There is a new digital kit in my Etsy store and I love it so much!!! It includes 14 pages of various nature themed printable elements. Once you are done assembling everything, you will have a lot of pieces to use.

Here is a picture of what the final result will look like:

I invite you to watch a really short video overview of the kit, too:

2 - In addition, I have a added a little freebie to my Ko-Fi page. The printable includes 4 base tags of neutral tones and 4 oval frames with children' portraits. You can use washi tape, die cuts, flowers and lace from your stash to spice up the tags. Below you can find a preview of the freebie and the examples of the tags that I have created with it:

That's all from me for now. 

I hope you have a wonderful peaceful and crafty day!
