Decorate a Junk Journal Envelope

I will show you how I turn a simple envelope page into something special by adding some flip outs that don't take up too much bulk.  I will  also show you how I decorate the envelope by adding pockets, cutouts and page tabs. Exciting stuff!



I created 3 flip out panels with torn edges and side hinges using book pages and coffee-dyed copy paper. 

I glued the panels to the back of a book page panel that I glued onto to one half of an envelope, sewn into a junk journal.


I then decorated each of the flip out panels. On the front flip out, I added an image of a possum and a berry branch. To complete the look, I added a small specimen label. 

On the inside of the front flip out, I added a small postcard as a pocket. 

On the next flip out, I attached a tag with a flower cutout on the top.


On the next flip out, I made a double spread, collaging torn scraps of paper across both panels, to create some journalling space. I then attached a leaf-shaped page tab.  


If you'd like to see how I made this triple envelope flip out, then watch the tutorial by clicking on the Youtube video below:
