Make a Beautiful & Unique Christmas Journal
Whenever I make a journal, whether it's for me or for someone else, it needs to be just the right mixture of magical little details, with some bare, inviting space to really welcome and invite users to fill it up with memories in creative ways.
I’m passionate about making journals, and using them to ignite an interest in memory keeping.
Christmas is always such a magical time, and Christmas books are one of my favourite journal themes to create. Each year I love making a new collection of softcover Christmas journals, that are perfect for documenting one Christmas season.
For the first time, I am sharing my entire process in depth, so you too can learn how to create them.
In this class you will learn:
How to create a faux leather cover with window focal points, and add special details that add depth and dimension without ever limiting the use of the book.
Learn how to create interesting, inviting, rich and varied pages and signatures, to create a balanced and usable journal. And bind it all together into a beautiful book you can fill up with your Christmas memories, give as a gift, or sell in your own shop.
The techniques you learn in this class can also be applied to so many different types of craft or journal projects other than just Christmas books. There are skills and methods included within this class that you can use and apply in all other themes and many other creations.
With my thorough step-by-step guide, it’s suitable for complete beginners or more experienced crafters.
As well as all of this there are bonus videos and exclusive printables. I include alternative ideas and materials wherever possible. I'm sharing an alternative method to dying or distressing paper, that does NOT use tea or coffee. So you can make beautiful smell free and acid free distressed papers. Plus heaps of additional ideas, suggestions, and all my little tips and tricks!
This class has a lifetime access for the life of the course, so you can take your time or revisit the content whenever you need.
I’ll be right here to guide you along every step of the way, and I'm available with any questions or additional support you may need throughout your journey.
So join me today! I cannot wait to see what you will make!
