how to make cute embellished library card pockets

October 14, 2021

Hey Lovelies!

It’s been quite awhile since I shared any sort of process video on my Youtube channel. But today I have a fun little DIY process for you on how to make these cute little embellished library card pockets!

So I really wanted some of those little low library card pockets that you can get in bulk on Amazon, but I really didn’t want to spend money on like 100+ library card pockets when I only wanted a few of them to alter and use in my journals. They looked simple enough to make that I decided instead to create my own from just some plain cardstock and scrap pieces of paper.

I used 8.5×11 Michaels Recollection 65 lbs cardstock in the color White Dove for the base of these pockets and embellished them using different paper scraps I keep in this little floral bowl on my desk. I absolutely LOVE how these turned out! They are so quick and easy to make and you can literally batch make them and easily use up all your little scraps. I love that.

I like to use these little pockets on the inside page of my journals, where I like to keep a library card—or similar card—which documents when I began and finished the journal. But these pockets would be fun to include on any page in your journal or even as little floating pockets that you clip in with a paper clip. They might even look super cute in happy mail packages too!

Anyway, I really hope you enjoy this little DIY video. Please tag me on IG if you end up making a few of your own. I’d love to see!! xx

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
