What a wonderful idea!! Thank you Tracie! You never cease to amaze me! ❤️❤️❤️

Wow that is superb! I can't wait to try this, thankyou Tracie. Those papers look absolutely stunning x

Love this idea. The effect is gorgeous!

Hello from Kentucky. Love everything! I have some beautiful hand stitched pillowcases and doilies too. Some are my mothers. I collected some delicate wild flowers day before yesterday that are the most beautiful lavender blue color. I tried to dry and press them, they sadly did not keep their color. If I can find those again I will try this remarkably clever idea. I love nature (I have deer wander through my yard all the time; along with some critters that are not so cute). My mother taught me the love of flowers. I will use this idea often. Thank you for sharing your tremendous talent.

Thanks so much for sharing how you make the vellum! They are gorgeous!

Genius! I love the idea of scanning fabrics and plants then printing onto tracing paper....and napkins, I have been sticking them to paper. Here we go, I will be rummaging for items to scan....now where is that dog 😉 xx

Brilliant idea scanning the grass and flowers and then printing them to tracing paper. I'm totally stealing it. Lol!!!! And if you ever decide to sell these here I will buy ALL. My favorite is the grass one.

I have been wondering how to get tracing paper through my printer. This has been so helpful thank you for doing this video! You Rock!! xxx

Brilliant Tracie I love it & you made it very easy to follow Love the scanned doily, a great way to preserve some treasured things.

wonderful! wonderful! I’ll be taking pictures of all sorts of things and scanning away for sure. Thanks much!🦌💌❤️📚🙏🇨🇦

I love ❤️ all ur ideas! I'm also a gardener and have lots of gardens with so many different flowers and greenery to scan! What a great Way to save images of my flowers w/out waiting for them to dry, I'm going to use my older printer and try scanning some on the tracing paper . Thank You again for another great tutorial Tracie. P.s. I live in the USA In the East. "Exeter NewHampshire "

Love this idea...so cool!!! Thanks for sharing Tracie!!

Great ideas Tracie, I love the wild flowers and grasses. There are so many things you could scan and print, so far I've only tried images in books! TFS xx

I love the nature prints you did, gorgeous! I have a new printer, so I think I'll hold off scanning that sort of thing on it for now. Debbie :)

Lovely papers!! I will be trying this out when spring comes.

Tracie that’s so awesome and cool and I really love 💕 this idea 💡...... I can see there’s loads of possibilities for this, and I’m going to have a go at this. Thank you so much 😊 xx Mags

Fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing with us ❤️

Tracie such awesome ideas! I love how you tried all these different items and scanned them. You are too cute and funny, great tutorials by the way. Tfs 😘💕

Another great idea....Thanks for sharing....Off to buy tracing paper! lol (I think I need to make a list....watching videos sends me on a shopping trip.....Life is grand !!)

Love this scanner idea. I forget I can do that but I do love doing mixed media prints scanned to velum as accent pages. You are right - if using ink jet - they come out very wet unless you set it for draft quality which uses less ink and of course gives a less vibrant print but still effective. Thanks for sharing.

BRILLIANT! I love the scanned images! If you want to protect the glass on the scanner, you could put down a sheet of transparency (not sure what they call it in the U.K.?) It's a clear plastic sheet that is used on overhead projectors. I would think that a regular, sheet protector would work; the kind that are top-loading that are used in 3-ring notebooks. Those come in clear and frosted, so that might be fun to play with, too! :-)

Thank you so much for this info. It was really helpful.

Thankyou just purchased 66gsm tracing paper and you answered many questions

LOVE the tracing paper idea. I've done it with Vellum, but it's pricey. I love getting the opposite pic on the back side, also. Very cool. tfs Tracie :-) x

Thanks for this great idea and tutorial. It works wonderfully and is SO easy to do. I used Seth Cole 25 lb tracing paper and have had great results.

This has been very helpful. Thank you for the idea

Brilliant ideas, Tracie! Even a novice like me understood everything you said. Please keep the videos coming! 😁

Those are very awesome!

Thank you fir sharing this is fabulous!!!!!!

This is brilliant!

Keep the tutorials coming!...Thanks for the inspiration!

Brilliant idea! I'm gonna scan some flowers I dried, before I put them in journals and never see them again, lol.

I LOVE these!! I will try it. Thanks !

Love this. So many great ideas! TFS

Wow scan and print such a good idea thank you. Going to scan some photos I wanted to use but didnt want to tip them in as I cant replace them. And tracing paper on top of paper wow deffinatly using that idea plus with my tomoe river paper as can never get that to go through. 🙂🧡

Such helpful tips! Beautiful! TFS!

Please don't give up, I love you, your doing a great job!

Love this idea! Im totally gong to go find some things to scan! xo Michele

Great idea!!!! Thank you for sharing...😊

oh my goodness you are so smart what a wonderful idea 😍😍 oh and yes i have so many of those napkins 😋😉 so happy you liked them as much as i do 😄 Keep doing what you do cause your awesome!! oh and so not pants!! 😊😊

I've watched this before but the paper is so lovely I watched it again.

Another brill idea tfs x

this is brilliant, thank you :) do you buy special tracing paper or could the lunch wrap that is often used for tracing paper be used? I was thinking of using the tack spray that I have for quilting to hold these in place as I have used that on small vellum pieces I have to get them to hold to the printer paper

Very cool tutorial!!👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻😍😘💜💕 TFS

Absolutely beautiful ! I wish I had a way to do this without a printer though. ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely pages. Thank you

Such a cool idea and very interesting, I am off shopping to find tracing paper, where did you get yours as it looks good quality ?

Absolutely awesome idea to scan items like fabric. I just put a note on my phone to remind me to do this. My sister and I are just starting our craft business (good luck to us lol) and this is a great idea. Thank you so much. :-)

this is amazing, thanks so much for sharing! if you don’t mind me asking, what type of tracing paper are you using for this? also, i don’t know if this is something you would know the answer to; but if i were to print, say, a quote on tracing paper like this, and wanted it to be on the ‘back’ of the paper (the side that would get some adhesive put on it) it would come out ‘backwards.’ do you know if there’s a way to print it on the back side, but still have it read the proper way when you turn it over? like mirrored or inverted or something like that, is it possible? sorry if i didn’t explain that very well, and again thanks for the very informative video. (:

Very interesting, thank you :)

I love all your ideas; they're very useful. I think you could spray the specimens with hair spray to keep them from shedding inn the scanner.

❤️Love❤️ the video Tracie!!! Can't wait to try it! Who is the woman you recommended to watch for sewing things with the tracing paper? It sounded like you said "stupid Mary" but I know I just wasn't hearing it correctly!! Lol. Please keep the videos coming. You are a joy to watch!

Very interesting.

Just found your channel / great tutorial. What printer do you have? I’ve got a canon ink jet and when I printed some digital printables the quality was very poor - do you do anything special in settings? X

thank you so much for the suggestion...I know I can get tracing paper...

Hi Tracie, What setting do you have your printer set on to print the tracing paper/vellum? Thanks Sheila

Thank you

Tracie, I love what you've created. I especially love the grass print. And the first one you showed and the other fabrics you scanned. They are so beautiful. How do I get in touch with you? You do have an Etsy store right? It's early here and my mind isn't firing on all cylinders. I don't know how to PM you on KZfaq.

Thank you for the video. 💞💫

I've printed on vellum and tracing paper but forgot about it until this video so thanks for that! And you're not "pants?" at doing tutorials (is that what you said? Lol!) Anyway, you're doing a fantastic job!

I from Leicester, I wanted to say what a fantastic video you've done, love all your ideas, they are amazing and your videos are brilliant. I got lots of ideas so thank you very much, I would like to ask what weight your tracing paper is that goes through on its own in the printer, as I'd like to purchase some good tracing paper and I think the ones I see in the shops are a bit flimsy, once again thank you for sharing your video😀

What brand of vellum do you use? Love the idea!

love yours video, i am living in denmark and we can´t get all things you explaning abought.

I'm a little bit confused at how the tracing paper becomes vellum when you print on it. I've printed on tracing paper and also on plain vellum . Was wondering if you could explain. Thank you...Irene ..

I tried the baby oil, and it's an interesting result. However, I had concern about oil bleeding onto other papers, and I saw another person with the same concern. So, since you are into making videos and experimentation, I'll share my idea with you. I suggest using wax. I've used bees wax on paper and it produces a similar effect. I didn't have any bees wax so I tried paraffin wax, which is inexpensive. Bees wax is on the pricey side. I would experiment with different forms of wax, though I might not try soy wax because apparently it's water soluble. Paraffin wax may produce a paper that is a bit on the brittle side. Bees wax, though I don't have any on hand right now, seems to produce a more pliable paper. I scrubbed a block of paraffin onto both sides of my paper, heated it up with my heat gun a bit. Then gave it a final iron between waste paper to rid it of excess wax. So, give it a try and tell me what you think.

Mine came out to oily, I’ll try again. Thanks

Lovely imagery! Which weight of tracing paper did you use. Thank you and best wishes, Gracie Wieber

Hello, I have a crazy question, ur opening title says, " how I make my vellum paper". However, ur showing us how you "print" on vellum paper from ur printer. But I was researching on how to "make" vellum paper, using different types of paper, and the oil or oils used, I'm learning that from some videos, the oils used, are "rubbing off" wen inserted to our Journals, im thinking 🤔 this could potentially cause a problem down the line, wen we sell journals. I just wanted to clarify the words "making vellum" vs "printing on vellum" Thank you, have a blessed 🙏 labor holiday

❤️

💕💕

Good morning. I follow you from Italy. What Is "tracy" paper? I don't understand...

I missed the name of the girl who sews on vellum. Could you share that please?

I love the scanned embroidery on to tracing paper. Really pretty. I scanned some flowers and leaves with a sheet of OHP film protecting the glass. It gave a slightly misty effect to the scanned images, and the colour was a little faded out, but it still looked ok. On a totally different subject... I've watched a lot of your vids and I can't read the tattoo on your right arm! It's not keeping me awake yet but I'd love to know what it says. I'm considering getting my first tattoo on my forearm at the ripe old age of 54, to celebrate reaching middle-age!

oops sorry
