Travel deck of cards

DIY Travel Deck of Cards

So this is something different that I wanted to share. This is my completed travel deck of cards. It’s a regular deck of cards that I DIYed by covering the backs up with plain white labels and took with me on all of my backpacking trips abroad. Whenever I’d meet and hang out with someone new on these trips, I’d have them tag a card for me. It’s kind of like my very own travel yearbook of sorts, but it’s functional at the same time. I never leave home to go on a trip without a deck of playing cards, so this acted as my personal trip yearbook and playing cards. Anyway, I finally completed my first travel deck of cards on my last trip to Europe and I wanted to share how they came out.

Definitely check out the small video below, where I just talk about this travel deck of cards and the idea of having a travel deck of cards and using it to remember everyone you meet on your travels. There are also close up footage of each set of cards from the four different trips I took.

Christmas week in my Hobonichi Weeks! I’m enjoyi Christmas week in my Hobonichi Weeks! 

I’m enjoying how this journal is slowly becoming another scrapbook of sorts. It’s been interesting to see how it’s been evolving.

Honestly, I think I have more fun decorating my pages with all the fun sticker bits! xx

I’m keeping an Unraveling Journal this year! I h I’m keeping an Unraveling Journal this year! 

I haven’t successfully kept one since 2023 and I really do miss my unfurling process. I’m also going to try to document my One Little Word journey in here. 

I’ve wanted to make another @amitybloom style journal for such a long time and was studying Nazy’s beautiful layered journals to see if I could make one of my own. It’s almost like she knew what I was up to because at the ending of the year, she offered her Hanky Diaries course, where she teaches the exact layered covers I had been studying! Signing up for her class gave me that push to finally make mine. The timing was perfect!

So this journal is my take and I’ve got a full walkthrough of it up on my YouTube channel. The cover is so tactile with lots of layers of fabric and paper. I absolutely love it. It just so me. 

Highly recommend Nazy’s class, as well as her Artist in Bloom class, as I drew inspiration from that one too. xx
I’m behind on sharing my Joy Journal spreads in my I’m behind on sharing my Joy Journal spreads in my Hobonichi Weeks. This was the week right before Christmas. xx
I’ve got a new YouTube video up, going through my I’ve got a new YouTube video up, going through my 2025 journals and sharing what’s lined up for 2026. I’ll be using lots of the same types of journals, just the next versions of them. These are my main journals:

✩ Pocket Filofax - my monthly/weekly planner
✩ Hobonichi Weeks - my joy journal
✩ A6 Hobonichi Hon - my soulscape journal
✩ A6 handmade fabric journal - my lovely journal (art/junk/scrapbook memory keep hybrid)
✩ B6-ish handmade journal - my unraveling journal (and OLW)

Though, now that I have this video up, I’m thinking about adding at least one other journal—a small art journal. So, I might have to film an update lol. But I hope you enjoy if you watch. 

What’s in your lineup? xx
Another week, another spread in my Joy Journal. I Another week, another spread in my Joy Journal. I got to go to another Ben Barnes show, my second one this year! xx
