    Some great tips but I would like to offer one. People who do junk journals might not stamp a lot and therefore don't know. Please don't rub your stamp across the ink pad. This causes ink to build up on the side of the design wall as it is scraped across. This can result in a blurred image. Instead, tap the stamp up and down on the pad, building a layer of ink, putting the ink on the top surface of the design, not the wall. This is especially important when you have a detailed design or a solid image. Press straight down on paper and press all around, don't rock the stamp. I hope this helps for those of you who wonder why your stamped images come out blurry.

      That’s good advice! I never learned proper techniques, so I am sure that is happening to my ink pads. Thanks for the suggestions!

    • @recoveringsoul755
      @recoveringsoul755 8 місяців тому

      That is good advice. But stamps are purchased, not "junk" or something you'd normally throw away. I think a true junk journal would be made of things you normally would throw out. So making marks with ribs on corrugated cardboard might qualify as a stamp. Made with old coffee or something maybe

    using an old book to ‘store’ stamped images as well as collages are great ways not to lose sight of pieces for later projects.
    by the way, the hand cream tip is perfect for a messy person like me!

    Kelly, I love your tips! My favorites were putting on hand lotion before crafting, using pattern paper to stamp images, making a stamped images book later use, and gluing paper scraps into a book for later use. I would like to see more of the suggestion to expand a spine with fabric. I cannot visualize the finished journal. I think I will search for a video on this technique. It is an intriguing idea. Thanks for the tips!

    I loved the scrap book! If you would take the time to put those scraps in your scrap book as you were working on a project not only would you have a reminder of the project but you would have a lot of coordinating elements and perhaps you could even tear the page and use it in your project

  • @navyboymommygramma
    @navyboymommygramma 2 роки тому +3

    I LOVE that last idea. And I'd be careful with the hand lotion one because you don't want to leave prints of your own digits on your projects, but on the other hand.... that might add a cool touch to what you are making. 😊✌

    TFS Kelly- I learned several new things & love that it is so short! However I couldn’t figure out what to do to make the expanding spine, and I would really like to see how it is done! I like the idea of the curved spine- do you simply cut down the center and use the entire tube?

    • @rootpursuit
      @rootpursuit  2 роки тому +3

      I am making a video soon on the expandable spine! 🌺🐿🌺

    Great video!!! All the tips in one place, finally lol. I have a tip that I can't remember where I saw, but have never seen since. And can't believe that bcuz it's genius. If you stamp regular tissue paper (with archival ink), tear it out and Mod Podge it to your page, the tissue paper will disappear upon drying and all that's left is the image. It'll make you look like a maestro!!! This also works if you draw the image yourself as long as you use waterproof pens like Sakura Microns.
