Love Journaling – Valentine Tag Journal

Hello there, February is flying by! Our Eileen Hull Inspiration Team's theme for the month has been "Love Journaling". The designers have been interpreting this in all sorts of fun ways (check out Eileen's blog). I decided to make a Valentine themed tag journal with a matching stand.

For the stand, I discovered that the pocket from Eileen's Frame Pocket Journal Die fits perfectly on the Phone Stand. Nice! 

I used the Library Pocket, ATC Card & Tabs Die Set, to make journaling cards for the pages. I imagined that you could write all the reasons you love your significant other on each page. 

Did I mention how I love that the pocket fits perfectly on the phone stand? ;-) Let's take a look at some of the tutorial steps…

Step 1 – I used my Gel Press plate to print onto sheets of mat board to lay down all the base colors and textures. After I cut out the parts I stenciled on the hearts. (Tip, you can use your dies to create your own stencils. I used Eileen's retired Hearts Journaling Cards dies to cut through a thin piece of plastic to make the stencil I used below.)

I didn't use the little phone stand front pieces but they made
it into the photo. Ignore them ha ha.

Step 2 – I also printed the tags, cut out of white and kraft cardstock. Another tip, you can use your dies to make stamps! I used the Mandala Die to cut a shape from fun foam and adhered it to a piece of scrap plastic. I used it to stamp with paint on the tags.

Step 3 – I added some stamping to the tags (Eileen's Snail Mail - Postage set) and attached them to each other with pieces of Linen Tape. Easy peasy!
