Welcome to my Corner of the World
I thought long and hard about how I wanted the cover of this journal to look, as it is quite small I thought too much of the cover would be a little overwhelming so chose to go with a shaker card for the wow factor and a simple elegant closure, both of which I share in today’s video. If you are not into journal making you could still use this technique to create a greeting card with a shaker front.
- Front Cover: 6 1/8 x 4 1/4 with all the papers and layers etc
- Picture: 4 15/16 x 3 3/8
- Frame: 2 pieces 5 1/4 x 3 1/2 Card ~ then cut the frame 1/2 on all sides on one piece
- Window Sheet/Acetate : 5 1/8 x 3 3/8
Check out the video to see how everything goes together:

Please note that I am not endorsing any particular products nor am I being compensated for using them. I am sharing an idea and hope that you will be able to use products from your own stash to create a similar card 🙂
I love to make use of all the supplies I’ve collected, regardless of age! I apologize if it gets frustrating when some are retired, but I have found that many of these, or very similiar items, can be acquired on the used market. I’ve tried to give the info I have on each product so you can go looking if you like…happy hunting!
