Index Card Art Journal/Diary


Today I have the privilege of acting as Guest DT over at Creative Artiste Challenge Blog!  The challenge theme is always Anything Mixed Media Goes!  

Well, this was perfect for me since I had recently acquired these lovely vintage papers from Vectoria Designs and wanted to incorporate them into a 3-D type piece.  

I chose this Index Card Art Journal/Diary project after running across an idea like this for writers.  A writer shared she loved having access to index cards as one option for writing instead of books; she found it less intimidating for quick writings and such.  It got me thinking how fun it would be for ART journaling!  I could go grab an index card and just go from there.  Then all the cards could be housed in this box!

I have cut some cards from scrap pieces of mixed media papers and cardstocks for my box. 

In the video, I refer to a project I made before using this box cut/pattern.  Details can be found HERE.  Very different look!

Check out the video below for a tutorial on this little vintage box!  


   Material List:

Book Lover Paper Pack Vectoria Designs
Cereal Boxes
Leftover paper/cardstock for cards in box
Black Solid Cardstock and Blue Paper from Stash
Black Marker
Metal Title Plate from CTMH (retired)
Laces and Kitchen String from Stash
Adhesives: Fabri-Tac; Double Score Tape

I'm sharing this box with the following challenges:

  11. Congratulations, Katrina, on your guest DT spot at Creative Artiste! Your project is fantastic and such a great idea! Index cards are certainly less intimidating than blank journal pages and I'm excited to see what goes into your lovely collection.
