Friends, I’ve got a fabulous project to share with you today! I’m going to show you how EASY it is to recycle cards and turn them into booklets – or journals (your choice). This can be as simple or as elaborate as you want, but one thing is for sure, these books are super addictive to make. You can turn any greeting card into a journal and use up your craft stash and supplies that you already have!
Would you believe the background I used on this card/journal was made with the leftover papertowel from my watercolouring? You can check out my video tutorial HERE if you missed it. I think you can recycle most anything – especially if you’re even a little bit creative. And let’s not forget about the craft stashes that I know we ALL have! Bins of leftover papers, bowls of buttons and pretty embellishments, baskets of ribbons….am I right? It’s time to pull them out and use them and these sweet booklets are ideal for our pretty supplies! So grab some cards, gather your items and have fun!
Making journals out of greeting cards isn’t a ‘new’ thing – but it may be an idea you’ve not seen before or thought of. Junk journals, gratitude journals, dairies, notebooks – all can be made from recycled cards (as well as LOTS of other items too). The possibilites are endless!
If you are interested in seeing another variation of journals/booklets, check out my video “Quick Mini Journals”.

I loved watching you make this little journal. Beautiful. More Please!
I agree with Linda! This was a great video and so inspiring. I love the embossed butterfly…I would make dozens of them for home decor!
Thanks for sharing this process with us Tina!

Thanks so much Sue!!! I also love how the butterfly turned out! I plan on focusing on this technique in a video soon. HAPPY STAMPING!
I just love this idea, making card junk journals are a little more manageable for a busy person. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you like this Louise!
