Valentine Collage Folio

January 15, 2022

This little Valentine Collage Folio is a cinch to create!

You may remember the Santa Ephemera Folder here: https://sugarlumpstudios.com/santa-ephemera-folder/ that I created in December. I really enjoy making these little folders and with so many seasons/holidays throughout the year you could make quite a few options.

I love using water color paper as a folder base because it is super sturdy. You could also use a file folder, or cardstock. I added two pockets inside cut to size and secured down with double sided tape. The front cover and pockets have digital papers glued to them. I then decorated the cover with a variety of collage images, heart paper doily, buttons, and foam heart stickers.

Inside, the pockets were filled with postcards, envelopes, Valentine greetings, and tags. I kept the look and detail very simple for this whole project. Another great thing about making these. You can get as detailed as you wish!

Junk Journal Ephemera Pockets

August 9, 2021

Today, I am sharing these little pockets I made that can be tucked into journals. I created them by using old vintage sheet music that was cut to various sizes and folded in half. Using my sewing machine I stitched the sides and bottom. A 1/2 circle was punched at the top, and little bits of ephemera and a tag tucked inside. I then decorated the front with various digital graphic printouts and rubber stamps. The pockets could then be glued into your journal. Very fun to create!

Lost Souls Moleskine Art Journal

August 1, 2021

Hello and Happy August!

This little spread is made in my Moleskine Journal. I have used a variety of paints, collage images, vintage music sheets and metallic markers. I covered the pages first with a parchment color craft paint. Once that was dry, I started adding the sheet music strips. I then went back and added the collage images (postcard, postage stamps, butterflies, forget-me-knots, and pretty girl.)

Once the collage items were dry, I added the metallic marker dots along the edges of the pages. The lyrics, were then typed up in Microsoft Word and printed, cut into strips and added to the spread. Through this whole process, I am using Liquidtex “Matte” Matte Gel Medium.

Blues Journal Layout

July 29, 2021

I added this little spread to my Traveler’s Notebook the other day. Now, all I need to do is write inside.

The prints were from Etsy and all done in blue. I thought it was so beautiful online. Most of the afternoon was spent cutting them out once they were printed. However, there are PLENTY of images to make many more things with which I love.
