Small Hema Haul!

Hey there! :D I hope you guys (mostly girls though) had a great weekend!

My local hema store had been doing some rearrangements for the past weeks to add more crafting & stationery stuff. So every few days I couldn’t help but sneak a peak at what they’ve been adding to their stash! The worst part was that I could actually look into the stacked boxes and see all of the stationery things that I couldn’t buy yet. o.O Seriously…

BUT a few days ago it was finnaly finnished! :D I tried not to go over the top with what I would buy, so I only bought what I just couldn’t overlook! So here’s what I got in a full picture!

On the right you can see I bought 6 cute colored clips! :D You know I love colors & colorcoding, and when I saw these, I obviously couldn’t resist! So yess, I took those along with me! underneath lay some cute colored pockets that you can stick wherever. :) I thought it might be usefull in the future! (especially the picture sized ones!!)

Now for some more pictures of the stamps&washi tape!

There was this little box full with letter stamps with different fonts. Obviously, resistance was futile! :D In the picture above I stamped my alias name! :3 I’m really develloping a soft spot for wooden stamps lately (aside from my clear stamps love ofcourse!)

This was another set of stamps! :D Aren’t they just lovely?! I love how it even has some cute quote stamps! And yess, that pineapple also won me over! Then for the final stamp set here they are:

I especially love the cute banner thingy! That leaf frame is perfect too! :D so yess, I’m very happy with my new stamps additions! Now for the last part of the haul, here’s the washi tape I got!

I actually tried ignoring the glitter washi tape for a few minutes, by just walking around the store… But for some reason my feet led me back to them each time! Aren’t they gorgeous? o.O I also really liked that other cute set! :D I have to be honest about this “Hema-trip” though. If I didn’t contain myself like I did, I might’ve gotten A LOT more stuff, but I feel kinda proud that I didn’t go overboard! ;D Plus, you have to admit, these finds are hard to ignore right?? :p

That concludes this “Small” Hema haul! :D I hope you have a good day!! bye!

My current Washi Tape collection & my little Washi book!

Hey there! How are you guys? :D
A lot of you know how obsessed I am with Washi Tape! The past year I’ve collected quite an amount of Washi Tape, ranging from very cheap ones, to crazy quality ones, all kinds of colors and patterns! I thought it was about time to give you guys an updated collection! I made a little Washi Tape book where I have an overview of my current collection! In the video I share with you where I mostly buy Washi Tape, the story behind the little book, and ofcourse  my entire Washi Tape collection! :D

Here’s the video below, if you wanna check it out! Oh! By the way, I have almost reached 1000 subscribers on youtube! :D Sounds like a great number for another giveaway doesn’t it? ;)

I’ve made some free journal cards! + decorating video!

Hey there!

Seeing my by blog and youtubechannel grow little by little thanks to everybody’s support really makes me a very happy person! :D So before I tell you what this post is about I want to thank you all for the kind support and feedback! ;) Every little comment and like counts to me! Because of this I’ve decided to put some more things into the ‘freebies’ section of this blog! Therefore I decided to design some free printable Journal Cards (Project life cards)! :D

I had a lot of fun coming op with simple doodle inspired black&white designs! Here is an overview of the journal cards I’ve designed so far and that I will put on the blog!

It was a real creative challenge, but so much fun! You can see the desings are very simple, but you all know I love simple designs thehe. ;) Anyway the whole point of this doodly black&white theme is that you can add some color to the journal cards yourself! So, where can you download these? You can find them in the header: “planner freebies” section! It’s a word document on A4 paper (which you can change to lettersized paper) ! All you have to do is download them, print them on thick paper and cut them out ! :D Then they are free to use for whatever little project!

Want me to design some more free journal cards? Please let me know in the comments below! :D I would love to come up with more designs! Also, please share me your thoughts and if you like them! ;)

When you use the journal cards and post pictures on Instagram feel free to add the #Jessjc or #Jumpyjess ! Because I would love to see how you use these journal cards! :D

Now! I’ve made a video where I talk about the Journal cards and show you some examples of how to decorate them! Here is the video if you’re interested:

Again, let me know if you’d like more! :D Bye!

DIY Turn your Passport case into a “Midori Traveler’s Notebook”!

Hey there! :3 To make up for the mini-hiatues I’ m posting some more this week, as you might have noticed! I did a little experiment on a lovely passport case I found at the “Flying Tiger shop” for 2 euros! It fit the traveler’s theme so well that I decided to try to turn it into a traveler’s notebook! And here are some pictures of how it turned out! :

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! :) I didn’t have any other color elastic, but I feel like it fits well! What do you think about this Converted Passport case? I would love to hear!

If you’d like to know how I did it, check out the video down below! It’s an easy DIY and you don’t need much! When you happen to stumble on that one great passport case, you could try it out! I would love to see what yours would end up like! :) Thanks everybody for the support and enjoy the video!

Made my friend a “See you soon card”!

Hey there! Some of you might know that I love making personalised cards for friends, family,… There’s just something about making that unique card for that one person! :D One of my dear friends from Japan that stayed in Belgium for over a year on an exchange program is going back to Japan. Of course I could not say goodbye without making her a card! I haven’t really shared many cards I make here on my blog, but will do more from now on! :) I will miss her very much!
Here is a picture of the card:

It’s not anything complicated as you can see! But I think simple cards have a certain charm about them! :) Do you also love making unique cards for your friends? I would love to know!

That’s it for this little cardmaking update! ;) Have a great day!!
