You are so welcome!

Thank you for subscribing to my channel.

Ha, ha. I agree to an extent. But I like it when I'm shown what the end result will look like! It's a good thing you can skip forward in the video and/ or play it at a higher speed. To help others I like to put a timestamp in my comment. Like: The real magic starts at 5:50 😄🪄

Yes! I largely agree with this! I prefer to have the necessary information given up front. Being a single mother, to say my time was limited is beyond an understatement. You'd think now that I'm no longer single nor a mother that I'd have ample time but somehow I have less. And much less sleep- oh the irony! Anyway, much like Irish K- I, too, do not wish to be rude & very much appreciate the time that you took to give us this information. Having said that I will throw in what it is I find necessary for a like, a subscribe, or share. I seldom do any of those things because for the longest time i shared an acct with someone else & didn't want the flood of notifications. Drives me nuts. And the way the likes end up in the library lists & effect the suggested viewing, ect... Also, like the others, I kinda want to see the finished product for a second before i go on to watch the entire tutorial just in the interest of time. Otherwise I've wasted a night researching for a list of things i want to spend a few days doing. I started tonight, for example before midnight. It's almost 5am. Still on my device. If I find a video (even if I'm not planning on using the information right away) that meets the 3 things i love best- Quick view and summary of the finished item (preferably the time it takes to make it & supply list) & either let us know what you're doing and when you get to the tutorial in the bi-line. Be upfront with the info. That's it. I'll even pass them on. But if i have to search or wait or it's misleading then I don't usually use them. I save them up so I don't waste a night like i did this one. And those are the videos my gf's & I share the most. And I'm more like to wade thru all the other videos that someone does too

Can't agree more

Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm so glad you like my journals. I hope they give you some inspiration to create your own journals.

Thanks and welcome

Welcome aboard! Thank you for your lovely comment, I'm so glad you are inspired to make these papers for yourself.

Awesome! Thank you!

je t'en prie. I hope I said that correctly. My highschool French is very rusty.

Baking paper is the non stick paper you use in the kitchen. Parchment paper is very similar only a little thicker but works just as well.

Thanks for asking. I used watercolours. Using a makeup brush and keeping the paint fairly dry helps to avoid the wet paint from seeping through under the stencils.

@@theartsiecrafter very cool project. Thanx for sharing

Baking paper is similar to parchment paper which will work just as well

It’s the same... baking paper in Aus and parchment paper in the US.

I believe it's parchment paper (for lining baking sheets). Not greaseproof paper though.

@@Kayenne54 thanks !!!

I've just learned that baking paper is called parchment paper, in the US. Here in Australia, parchment paper is a little thicker and used in stationery. Tracing paper is also similar. They can all be used to achieve the same result. I hope that helps.

@@theartsiecrafter It does. Nice to know tracing paper is an option too. Many thanks!

Sorry to hear that. I hope you have better luck with baking paper (parchment paper).

Have you tried using a glue stick - it's a relatively dry glue that usually doesn't warp the paper.

I can tell you that a regular gluestick works. I buy the cheapest gluestick I can find. I use baking paper to protect the surface when I glue paper onto cardstock with a gluestick. If I don't remove the baking paper before the glue is completely dry, it gets stuck, too.😂 I think the gluestick will work just fine as long as you glue the baking paper onto a porus surface.

You're correct I did use watercolours, making sure not to add too much water to avoid the wet paint seeping through behind the stencil.

@@theartsiecrafter ok, thank you for your answer. I'll give it a try soon.

I'm using mainly watercolours. I do use acrylics on occasion, mainly white and gold paints.

I'm not sure what you mean by acid free? The watercolour paints I use are acid free I think but I'm not sure all the papers I use to make the journals are acid free.

@@theartsiecrafter it was more the baking paper i was wondering about. Its a great idea, i might not use it in my scrapbooking but on other projects. Thanks for your good ideas
