Here’s the scoop on the most popular sizes that fit beautifully (and happily) into your bookish layouts.
Tiny & Mighty: The Mini Covers
For all you bracket lovers and TBR challenge fans, mini covers are your best pals. Sizes like 2” x 3” or 3.25” x 4.75” are perfect to squeeze multiple covers on a single page without cramping your creative style. These little cuties fit snugly in grids or alongside your bullet points, helping you keep track of those ever-growing reading lists with style.
Just Right: Medium Covers for Reviews and Wrap-Ups
When you're putting together a review spread or a monthly reading wrap-up, medium-sized covers do the trick! Think 4.25” x 2.75” (landscape) or 5” x 8” (portrait)—large enough for the cover’s flair to shine through but still leaving plenty of space for your thoughts, ratings, and doodles. Perfect to strike the balance between bookish beauty and journaling space!
Showstopper: Full Page Covers
Sometimes, a book cover just demands its own page—right? For those times, go grand with 5.5” x 8.5” or 6” x 9”. These beauties are ideal for feature spreads or when you want to highlight a favorite read with all the fanfare it deserves. It’s like giving your book its own little spotlight in your journal.
Pro Tips for Printing
Be mindful of your journal’s page size when choosing your cover print dimensions—you want them to look neat, not squished!
Leave a little breathing room around your covers—about a ¼ inch margin—to keep things tidy and allow space for your notes or adorable stickers.
If you’re going digital, keep your cover sizes consistent so your pages stay harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
So next time you’re printing covers for your next crafty journaling session, remember these handy sizes to make your pages pop! Whether you’re mini-ing your way through a TBR bracket or going big to showcase a beloved read, there’s a perfect size for every page in your journal.
Happy journaling and happy reading!
