Embossed Journal Covers for Summer

Craft Basics· Summer

Summer is a time for making some of the best memories, and it’s just around the corner! We’re getting our plans set and are so excited for what’s ahead. I want to be sure that I remember the details of our summer fun, so of course we’ll be taking lots of pictures and videos, but I also love a good journal for documenting life. And today we’re sharing a tutorial for the cutest summer journal cover ideas. These summery journals will be perfect for you, your kids or your friends to use to record all the details of summertime that you never want to forget! Keep reading for the tutorial.

Summer Journal Cover IdeasSupplies needed for these summer journal cover ideas:

  • Blank Notebook Journals
  • Embossing Folders or Stamps
  • Vinyl
  • Embossing Ink
  • Embossing Powder
  • Heat Tool
  • String

Summer Journal Cover IdeasStep 1. Apply embossing ink to the dimensional side of the embossing folder.

Summer Journal Cover IdeasStep 2. Carefully press the folder, ink side down, on your notebook. Press each design to make sure ink is transferred to the notebook.

Summer Journal Cover IdeasStep 3. Carefully remove the folder. I love the imperfections that come with stamping – it makes each final product unique. With that being said, if there are gaps that really bother you, you can stamp the notebook again to achieve a cleaner design. Repeat the design to fill the cover of the notebook.

Summer Journal Cover IdeasStep 4. Cover the ink in embossing powder. Then pick up the notebook, allowing excess powder to fall off. If powder remains on areas that you don’t want embossed, you can use a small paint brush to dust the powder off.

Summer Journal Cover IdeasStep 5. Use the heat tool to set the powder. You will notice the powder bubble slightly and become a little lighter in color.

Summer Journal Cover IdeasStep 6. Cut a strip (2 inches or so) of adhesive vinyl, and apply it to the binding of the notebook.

Summer Journal Cover IdeasStep 7. Make a tassel from string. Attach it to a long string. Put the tassel at the bottom of the notebook, then bring the string up the notebook and over the notebook pages to the back cover. Secure the string with hot glue inside the back cover. Trim any excess string.

Summer Journal Cover IdeasThat’s it for these summer journal cover ideas! Now you’re ready to document all your summer fun!
