Travel & Cruise Journal by Nina

Hello Crafty friends, I am so excited to share with you this fun Travel Journal that I made with the new amazing die set Journal Template Die Set by Art Impressions. I also used the cute Pack your Bags stamp set.

The set has all the dies you need to create a stunning journal. I used the biggest die to create the outer cover from white Bristol Smooth paper. I then created a single inner page and I folded its flap along the score line the die created and placed double-sided tape on the flap and attached it to the inner side of the spine of the journal.

Now that my Journal base is ready, I stamped and colored my images from Pack your Bags stamp set using Copic markers. I did not color the shirt of the travelers because I am gonna cut them from patterned paper later.

Copic Shades:

Reds: R39 - R29 R27

Yellow: Y38 Y08

Browns: E99 YR27 YR24

Blues: B04 B02

Grey: C2 C3

Greens: YG17 YG25

I started with my cover, I cut the lovely frame from red cardstock and placed it on the cover on top of a blue sky paper from Lawn Fawn and attached the ship with tiny sun and clouds from Lawn Fawn Platform pop-up add-on.

For the first spread I cut the letters to create the word bag from Stitched ABCs dies by Lawn Fawn and attached the bags on the left side page. I also attached the sentence "Pack your" from Time to Travel paper collection.

For the backgrounds here I used Lawn Fawn Flower Market Paper Collection.

On the right side I attached the cute lady. I gave the image dimension with foam tape.

I stamped her again on a patterned paper and cut out her shirt and hat and glued them on her image. I die cut some accessories from the Journal die set to decorate the scene.
