Decoupage Journal Cover DIY

Hey everyone! Today I am playing along with the Designer Crafts Connection's Decoupage Link Party Blog Hop! I'm sharing a simply journal cover I created using the Pocket Notebook Diecut, Botanical Tissue Paper and Mod Podge.

I started by cutting out two Pocket Notebook diecuts covers from Mat Board.

I cut two pieces of the Botanical Tissue Paper larger than the pocket notebook covers. I applied the Mod Podge to the covers with a sponge brush and then carefully placed the tissue paper onto the covers. 

I also slowly worked the air bubbles out and what didn't rub out disappeared with two more coats of Mod Podge.

I adhered both halves of the cover together, added a decorative oval diecut and a chipboard flower sticker to the cover.

I adhered patterned cardstock to the inside covers and spine. I also strung the spine with elastic cording to hold notebooks and closure.

There you have it! I plan on adding junk journal style notebooks to this at a later date so stay tuned. Be sure to hop along with the rest of the DCC team and see how they used decoupage in their projects. You can  the post HERE. Also if you have any questions about this project please let me know.
