 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel. It's Eva from Bohemian crafting and today I'm coming to share with you a little bit different type of craft and this This craft I'm taking when I'm kind of like overloaded by making a books while ago. I wanted to do my Art journal, so it took one old book and I started by to be inspired by Marta from Mara Mismol art or by Vicky from Vicky Popeye, you know, I'm probably saying her surname wrong. So I'm very sorry for that. I will put links down below For all those amazing mixed media artists. I'm inspired by and I started to do a few layers but then I literally gave up because I Think I was Like a little bit scared that there is so many pages and what if I Don't have any idea that will makes me so sad That will makes me like disappointed from myself that I still have look this book and I don't have any idea So I started to do Art journal my way. It's totally different and it makes me satisfied because every time I feel like I finished one mini small book these are my Art journals and All these mini art journals or more I can say booklets Are holding just one art page and it makes me so happy It does have also pockets, which is something what I Totally love to do. So it has pocket here at the front. It has one pocket here Maybe for some note and it also has my art My art page where I am trying to create something beautiful and nice and of course as A package I'm using envelopes if you know my channel, you know that I do love to create from envelopes So this way I'm creating my art journal pages and I have to tell you I am enjoying it so so much. It's so much fun. I started to use also kind of like funny Funny quote, so which I found That's why I am enjoying it very much. I will have They do have a new website buy me a coffee. You don't have to buy me a coffee by the way but on that website will be here and there some Free downloads of images I am using here in those art journals So I will put a link for that by me a coffee Website down below for those who want to have a look what kind of images I already have there If you want to create your art journal and I really have to tell you that this is something very satisfying for me I'm always I am always having finished Finished project. So if I will ever Never ever have any idea for our channeling ever again. I will be not sad, you know I will be not disappointed from myself that where is my creativity. I hope you know what I mean by that Look at this. I really love this one here. I used by the way purple color which I feel kind of like Uncomfortable with purple color color, but here I really love that I am so happy of this page and That quote from plateau. It's just beautiful. I created also my small galaxy I do have videos for I think this three One two three for these three pages. I'm not sure about the trust I think I don't have the trust but these three pages they will be like tutorial or Sharing and process sharing no tutorial. I'm not that skilled with creating our journals But this way I'm feeling so happy to create my mini art booklets I'm using my colors my pencils my Acrylic paints which I haven't used for ages and that is important that I'm starting to use stamps stencils Everything I bought through the years in those mini journals. So for all those Who wanted to start the art channel, but maybe you wasn't Ready to go for a full book. Maybe this Just one small booklet will be maybe good idea for you, too So today I would like to share with you what I did. It's I hope it will be easy that it will be not too complicated I'm always using one sheet of cardstock. It's always a for size But you can use any any sheet of paper you want that it should fit to some envelope Which you will prepare for your art art page. So I'm using DL envelope With a window because I would like to have that window on the top of my booklet. So I'm using DL envelope a for size sheet of Paper and I am always preparing my booklet the same way So first I'm taking my sheet or cardstock And I'm making a mark a Little bit smaller here. I'm keeping gap and here. I'm marking a little bit smaller than is my envelope Then I'm cutting my sheet This bigger piece. I just fold it half and That smaller piece I took my scissors. I folded those two corners together and cut The edges to create kind of like envelope flap so very simple way I cut the corners To create like envelope flap then the envelope itself taking my envelope Cutting those sides So I will have one large piece Before I will move To create something on my sheet and on my envelope I'm gluing this Flap of my envelope here on that envelope Oh my explanation start to be very creative, right? I'm sorry From the fault or from the bottom of my envelope. I'm making mark Three and three quarter of inch and I forgot to tell you measurement of my envelope just bear with me three and three quarter Three and three quarter go there. Just draw a line and my envelope size it's four and I would say three eight By I think it was eight and half eight and I cut it a little bit eight and Five eights. I would say it was When before I cut those corners the those edges So once I do have that line here. I'm taking my new flap of my envelope On a few of my booklets. I took this a Zooter machine. It's wonderful Bind it all machine. It's using for binding pages together and creating journals But I am using it also as a paper punch because it is actually paper punch and it makes beautiful Very decorative Holes, so that's why I am using it. I like it that look And now here Like this So now I'm gonna apply the glue here on the spot behind that Line I draw So I'm gonna apply a glue in there and glue my new flap Right here It will be a little bit smaller than is my envelope, but because I'm always backing My booklets with the black paper all over up That's totally okay It's kind of invisible That and I'm coloring always my booklets So it's kind of invisible that there is a gap On each side here. So this is my preparation of that base and Also, yeah here because I do have that folded sticky strip on my envelope It's mostly, you know, you have to fold it up and then this one it's sticky as well So just clip it down Because I do have here that folded flap I'm just secure those sides with a glue fold it up and I am also folding these edges down and That's all basic preparation on On my booklets I did on each of them exactly same way and Then just the creative process. I'm gonna also take here My envelope punch board and I'm gonna punch those corners to make my art page a Little bit more beautiful. I Think those those Rounded corners are kind of like more friendly At least I feel that way. So that's why So I do have prepared my booklets. I do have prepared my art page and I was thinking Because I showed you a few of these booklets. There will be those videos I'm not gonna say tutorials because it's definitely not tutorial. I Have got here this Beautiful vintage phone and I do have you This is so cute quote Reality called so I hung up And I really love that quote. It's so cute So I was thinking I'm gonna create something with this today so for my Building background I've got here this studio light stand sale Here we've got the number but I will also write the number in the description box below I've got here Tim Holtz stumps because I love them I've got here glitch Number one and number two Stumps and I've got here those amazing fed-up types These are so gorgeous. So I'm gonna choose choose use Use some of these First I'm gonna some yeah, and I've got here a tea dye color and I will also take black ink Normal black ink, which doesn't react with a water and I would like to try this one This is a Little bit dusty This is spectrum noir It's water reactive dye and it should react the same way like does Distress ink from Tim Holtz so I want I want to try and this is a smoked pearl. It's kind of like gray mixed with brown it's it's very Very wonderful color. It's like this one here. I'm not sure this one here. It's kind of like Gray brownish or I'm not sure how to describe Here they show brown, but it's more like a gray brown So we're gonna start to do something. I think first back stamping background stamping. I'm gonna choose this I guess these because I love them these are my favorite my total favorite from this stump collection So I'm gonna stamp here and there on my paper and also on the envelope We will try to do some light stamping gonna move this and some hopefully Yeah, just like Easy stamping here and there and everywhere And I'm gonna kind of like clean my stump Here and Here. Yeah, it's nice and clean. I'm gonna take this one and for that I'm gonna take different color. You've got here this Red one it's like dark red nearly burgundy color and because communication The telephone and the reality and in real my most favorite Most favorite combination of colors it's black That vintage like coffee tea brown kind of like something between ivory and you know Ivory and coffee that beautiful brown color So I'm gonna try to Mix it here some some kind of color combination you you are able to see on Graphic 45 the communication collection That it's actually going to my mind right now I think it's the most beautiful scrapbooking collection In the world that communication It's so gorgeous And this one will be here. So I guess So very light stamping with this It's like burgundy And I'm gonna clean my stump here And probably here yeah Very light stamping with this so I do have stumped my Backgrounds for the next part. I've got here this t-dite distress ink and I'm gonna just Make my spa I'm gonna spray it with clear water And dip my paper into it and I'm gonna do some beautiful coloring And I think I'm gonna do a little bit more And color my envelope. Yeah, I think there is a lot of color now It's wet enough gonna let it dry And we will continue and because I want to use heating tool and Dry my papers quite quickly. I'm gonna give it try and take this acetate piece very carefully Off from my envelope. It shouldn't make any Silly mistakes because the paper it's wet. So It should go well If I will be careful enough other way other way I will rip it off. That's what was happened many times before so, you know I have to be very careful, but I can take off that acetate. I'm gonna save that acetate because later once I Have done my envelope. I'm gonna glue it back Stay good So now I can use my heating tool And I can dry envelope and also that paper So both my papers are dry and I do have here a few alphabetical stamps So I think I'm gonna stamp also some words because the reality What is the reality now? Especially about communication when we have here that telephone It's tiktok instagram People stop communicate normal way face-to-face So first I'm gonna try to use this like written one and I know if I will place it the right way I can actually create like a written word But I am very terrible with stamping So I'm not sure how that will go But I'm gonna try I'm gonna try somewhere here on the bottom. So if I will be not successful I can always use some washi tape And cover it with washi tape or masking tape, you know to do something So I'm gonna give it dry And write down communication My stamping and here It's kind of not not straight But I don't mind so I'm gonna take my glitch stamps And with vintage photo just tone in tone I'm gonna do some soft stamping in the background Just the tone in tone. I don't want to overloaded it Because I want to use also my stencil and do small texture in there And I hope in the end it will look gorgeous So I'm gonna do just very soft here this one. Yeah And of course I need to do something on my envelope as well And I'm gonna take this stencil and try to do some stenciling Where I think it will look good on my paper as well So both of my pieces are dry and I forgot to switch off switch on my camera when I used Tea dye distress ink and my brush and I kind of distress heavily That stenciling all around here. I used also a little bit of that red Of that of this dark red color just here on that side to put there a little bit more color And now I have prepared I got here this beautiful this beautiful Those beautiful dyes from Elizabeth craft craft designs. So these are planners essential dyes And here is a number if my camera will zoom Here is my number. Uh, not my number. Here is the Here is the number Of these dyes and I use this telephone Uh, dialing circle and that telephone inside and I did cut out from Black card stock and also from white card stock and then I distress it this way Then I or not distress it color it With that dark red ink So I do have three those dial dial dials Uh, circles in black and two in red and I also do have These small telephones. I love them very much. They look so cute And because this was looks this Did look quite empty You know just with foam it was quite empty So I'm planning to place them here, but before I will do so I would like to have something in those areas here. So I'm gonna Take my t-died papers I think one sheet will be enough. I'm gonna take one t-died paper I'm gonna draw five of these circles I'm gonna draw inside and outside and also those Um These small circles and in those small small circles, I'm gonna stamp some words with my small stamps And then I will back with those papers my Those die cuts and I will come back to show you what I have created So this way I will draw five of them for each of these dials And I will come back once I do have stump in there something So I have stumped my dials and I stumped their words. I think they are all For most of us reality. We want we want a lot. We want a happiness Happiness we want a peace in mind or well, of course in the world We all I guess want to have stability and We want to have hope for better future Especially now with the world what is happening. So I stumped these words and I I'm gonna Fix them somehow here, but for me those edges are not Too much bright and by the way, I stamp it with those small stamps From stump and those it's very cute small stamps I'm gonna put all names in the description box. So I've got here this stump collection now. I think I lost that. Oh, no it there It just fell out I've got here this stamping collection from studio light again, and this is This one I'm gonna write it down as well So I'm gonna use this a stump. It's kind of remind me those international envelopes With that red and blue striping, but I'm gonna use just black ink and I'm gonna stamp all over of my page to do Kind of a little bit dramatic edge So I do have my stump pink and with black marker. I'm gonna Color the edge of my telephone I'm gonna a little bit, you know this kind of like distress or color All that white edge because I don't want to see it there It looks much better When that white edge is color red So all that image It's working much better with the background So I do have prepared my images and I think it looks much better now with that, you know black edge So I'm gonna try Place them on my paper I'm gonna use for gluing Here just normal glue normal Glue stick, but so I'm gonna first glue these Black pieces here and then on it Yeah, I think here To make sure I can read it this way. Yes Okay So first those three black pieces black dials, I think somewhere Okey-dokey And now the red dials or pieces this way And I do have here also my beautiful phone and those small mini Phone apparatus. I'm gonna place I guess here on the bottom like decoration What I'm gonna keep them on the end. I will see not now right now because this telephone When is it in real it has the rope from this this thingy this end to this this stand So I'm gonna take some I think I'm gonna take this one And take my Poking tool And that phone is that rope or the wire. It's usually here in that apparatus So I'm gonna Put that rope through And then glue it here on the top using my glue I'm gonna secure it with masking tape Here and here I'm gonna make some kind of You know that layer like that rope can looks like I think I will try Oh, I should go here Okay, I will have to somehow fold it I think I'm gonna take the needle So I do have on one end of that String the needle now. I'm going to place that string on my glue here I meant it to wrap it this way to do small Hook or You know, usually those ropes are too curly Okay On my glue On my glue And here because I forgot so I'm gonna go behind the telephone. I'm just gonna poke the hole here And go there with my String behind go back go back And I will go out from here. So I'm gonna poke the hole where from I want to pull that string again And it's right here. So it will looks like that rope. It's laying behind The telephone it's kind of like wrapping that telephone all around And here I'm gonna put a little bit of glue and the backed apparatus I'm gonna lay down and here I'm gonna go again through to the paper And I will secure it from backside With a masking tape. I'm gonna Let it dry here Here I'm gonna secure it with masking tape. So I do have that base done and I'm gonna Glue my quote on my page at other half There and I'm gonna use these small Telephones telephone apparatus Just let them flying here and there Oh or on my fingers Yeah, here I said here and there, okay Okay Now I'm gonna take this beautiful amazing Thingy it's bind decks. It's acrylic binder And you will see that in those next videos that I am using this bind decks all the time It's for sealing everything. It's also perfect when you want to do some shading, which I would like to do now So first before I will do my shading. I'm gonna use this bind decks and Some brush And with a brush I'm gonna wipe A wipe I'm gonna make top coat and I have to be a little bit more fast because I use distress ink And distress ink React with any kind of liquids So I have to be very fast here And I used also this This black ink. I will have to swap my black ink Okay, this one is reacting as well Not good way So I did my top coat using that Bind decks I will put link down below as well It's what it works For acrylic paints that you can mix them together and make better Painting and it also works really beautifully like top coat and Right now I do appreciate that top coat because I want to do some shading And I want to have that ability if I will be not successful and I want to wipe out something This helping me. So for shading I can use those oil pastels and it works Like a magic. So if I will take that oil pastel and I will wipe it Around and I will don't like it. I'm gonna take wet wipe I don't find any And I can just wipe it off and it's done So I'm gonna work my way up All around of all images. I do have here And I will do my shadows And shades So very carefully step by step I'm gonna make my shadows and also under my quote Or around my quote And if there will be too much, I'm gonna just manage that With that wet wipe So I do have my shadows That was lots of wiping and my hands was pretty much all black from that But I I'm happy with this and I think I'm gonna take my A gel marker This is beautiful White gel marker. I will put link down below as well for those who want Have a look and I'm just gonna draw some lines And maybe around I'm small do the link Okay, I think this is enough. I'm not gonna overload it and and now to my holder For that I'm gonna take just simple black paper. This is piece of wrapping paper So any kind of paper you will like And the base I'm taking my envelope and here I would like to have that pocket. So here I'm not gonna place any glue here Between this fold and this fold and I would like to have that pocket Probably that's deep So I guess This space I would like to keep clean without glue, but that rest I'm gonna use my glue stick and on that rest. I'm gonna put Pretty much nice amount of glue Now with my scissors. I'm gonna cut that paper around and I will try to keep about one eighth of inch Um kind of like frame around to think About this this size of frame all around So it looks like this I can add also some sewing all around So I will start here. Where is the pocket? I'm not gonna sew. So I will start here. I will go all around Till here and here I can go down From black cardstock. I have cut it two One inch circles with a hole in the middle and I'm gonna fix my closures. So I'm gonna fold Fold my Cover Here Fold the cover Close it. I'm gonna take one circle and make a position where I would like to see it I think one here And another here and I'm gonna draw A point and punch the holes So one here And another one right here I'm gonna punch the holes and fix those circles So first I'm gonna fix the circle on the Pocket not on the flap. First on the pocket without the string And then on the flap I'm gonna slide that string Then fix the circle With the eyelet and fix it and I'm gonna a little bit Mash it down Here that short The left over first thing I'm gonna cut off And now it's time to take my creation. I'm gonna fold it half It will be placed somewhere here. So I'm gonna have a look Yeah, I think I can leave it this way I'm gonna distress it a little bit with vintage Not vintage with that t-dye distress ink to make sure it's kind of matching all together Just that that visible edge Yes It will be much better. So I'm gonna put a glue on all this side, which will be glued here to the background So I'm gonna Place my paper in the middle and fold this over And press it together Let's make sure It will be nicely glued to the background Then I'm gonna put the glue here here and here And fold this over it And by that I have created pocket here I can fold this one And close my pocket and my mini journal or art journal art booklet One page art journal I don't know how to call it But it's all done and it's finished And it looks like this And I have to say I really like this combination of these colors.
