Lady Scientist Steampunk Junk Journal: My Porch Prints

Lady Scientist Steampunk Junk Journal by My Porch Prints

I've been a fan of steampunk for years. There's just something about the idea of Victorian-era charm mixed with a little science fiction. It's romantic and exciting. Plus it makes for a great journal theme!

This journal is called "Lady Scientist." It's a mix of inventions and natural science with a touch of feminity. It's a binder-ring journal. The covers were created using medium weight chipboard & printable papers (links below). The pages were also made using printable papers. Instead of printing double sided, I printed one-sided on cardstock and glued them together to make thicker pages. Then I used an eyelet punch to create the holes. Enjoy!

The bookplate is a black metal label holder. To attach the clasp, I used brass fasteners and lightly spray painted them with black paint, letting some of the gold show through.

This "corset" page was created with black cardstock and eyelets with ribbon strung through. I actually used a large mixing bowl from my kitchen to cut out a partial circle shape, then traced it to create two the same size. These became the sides of my corset. It makes a cute tuck spot! :) The train image is from a kit in my shop (see links below).

Steampunk style gears and printables from my shop were used for these pages.

This waterfall fold was so fun & easy to make! I'll try to put a tutorial video together for it. The insect specimen cards are from my Etsy store. The spinner clasp is from Tim Holtz.

This page was created using cabochons & bezels, metal necklace chain & ring clasps (links below).

For this page, I used more of my printables and a small brass hinge I had in my stash. I attached it using my spray-painted brass fasteners to create a fun moving part.

Again, this hinge was attached using my spray-painted brass fasteners. So easy and fun to make these moving pieces.

The left page here has an Industrial Pocket Tag from my Etsy shop. On the right is a page my daughter created. I thought it went perfectly with the "Lady Scientist" theme! The tape measure on the far right is actually a card that slides out of a tuck-spot.

These are some of the printable cards & other pieces I used. I picked a small flower outside and placed it in the bottle as a "specimen". :)
