If you love to get creative and put a personal touch on your projects, then you’re going to fall in love with our brand-new Shabby Tree Junk Journaling Kit! Junk journaling is all about taking bits and pieces—like papers, trims, tags, and little treasures—and turning them into something that’s uniquely yours. Whether you’re documenting memories, jotting down ideas, or simply playing with paper, this kit gives you everything you need to let your imagination run wild. It’s packed with fun textures and one-of-a-kind goodies that make it easy to create pages full of personality and charm.
We’re thrilled to introduce our very first Base Pack for Junk Journaling! This kit is filled with all the essentials you’ll need to dive right in and start creating.
What is Junk Journaling?
Junk journaling is a creative way of making a journal using a mix of papers, embellishments, and everyday items. Think of it as part scrapbook, part diary, and part art project. Instead of relying only on store-bought supplies, you can use things like book pages, fabric scraps, tickets, tags, envelopes, or even bits of packaging to build pages that tell a story or capture a mood.
The beauty of junk journaling is that there are no rules—it can be as simple or as detailed as you want. Some people use it to document memories, others as an art journal for collaging and doodling, and some just enjoy the process of layering and creating. Every junk journal ends up being a one-of-a-kind treasure full of personality and charm.
In this kit, you’ll get not one but two journals to craft and experiment with—one measuring 5.5″ x 8″ and a smaller one at 3.5″ x 8″.
Both journals feature a smooth brown cover and include 96 blank pages, perfect for your creative touches. Each one also comes with a ribbon bookmark to help you keep your place.
Inside the two bundles included in your kit, it’s all about texture! Each pack is filled with unique materials to help your pages pop—fun accents, a handful of buttons, and cardstock designed to mimic a variety of playful textures. One pack leans into greens and darker tones, while the other has more peachy, brighter colors to give you a cheerful contrast.
You’ll also get a gorgeous set of 30 floral stickers to add a pop of beauty to your pages. These feature vibrant yellow and golden roses with lush green leaves, giving you plenty of options to decorate, layer, or highlight special moments in your journals. They’re easy to peel and place wherever you need a touch of charm, and with 30 included, you’ll have more than enough to play with as you design your pages.
You’ll also find a set of 20 Maple Leaf Melody stickers in your kit. These gorgeous green leaves come in different shades, from soft light greens to deep, rich tones, making them perfect for layering and adding natural texture to your journal pages. They’re a great way to bring a touch of the outdoors into your designs and can be used as accents, borders, or focal pieces.
The kit also includes a 20-piece eucalyptus sticker set. These delicate stems feature soft, rounded leaves in shades of green and teal, perfect for adding a natural and calming touch to your pages. They layer beautifully with florals or stand on their own to give your journal spreads a fresh, botanical feel.
The kit also includes 10 ornate frame cutouts, each designed with beautiful floral and scroll details. These come in a variety of soft, vintage-inspired colors with hints of gold, cream, and muted greens. They’re perfect for highlighting photos, quotes, or special embellishments in your junk journal, giving your pages an elegant and timeless touch.
This bundle is packed with a variety of paper and plastic pieces that are perfect for layering and adding dimension to your pages. You’ll find a mix of textures—some pieces are sheer, some are completely see-through, while others are sturdy paper cutouts or flexible plastic accents. From delicate lace-inspired prints to whimsical shapes like butterflies and hearts, this assortment gives you endless ways to play and create unique designs in your junk journal.
I am just loving these Hollow Lace Papers! You’re going to get a mix of soft, pastel designs with butterflies, florals, and pretty little details, plus another set that has those rich vintage browns with an aged, antique look. Both sets have the most beautiful lace-style edges, and they’re perfect for layering into your pages. Whether you want something light and romantic or rustic and old-fashioned, these papers will give your journal such a unique and elegant touch.
I hope you’re as excited about this kit as I am! Junk journaling is something we’re going to be doing together often, and I can’t wait to see all the fun ways you put these pieces to use. It’s such a great way to get creative—even on the days when you don’t really feel like it or just need a little inspiration to get started. I know once you sit down and start playing with these goodies, the ideas will start flowing. This is all about having fun, trying new things, and letting your creativity shine!
This bundle will be available on our website Saturday, September 13th at 12 pm EST!
