WOW!! So glad this video popped up. This has been one of those all nighter youtube binges. Don't even remember what I started out looking at but went down one rabbit hole after the other and eventually found you lol. I'm 60, I've always done some kind of crafting and have been paper crafting since 2005 but experimented with rubber stamps since I was a teenager, just had no idea what to do with them lol. With all that, this absolutely amazed me! Thanks so much for all your experimenting. I think the one I loved best was the sewing pattern paper. Patterns are pricy, but may see if I can find some at the flea market or find folks who sew, & see if they have any they want to get rid of. I did find tissue paper the same color, so will try that & see if it would give the same effect. Oh, & those wings, back the truck up Chuck, those are the show stopper!

I have sprayed all the things! Everyone should give this a go, it's a game changer. My favorite is the tracing paper because it makes such great envelopes and butterfly wings, ever, ever, ever! But the sewing pattern paper is yummy and crinkly and I love it, too. I made an envelope window using the pattern paper like you did in a follow-up video and it turned out so incredible, I would never have guessed I could make such a cool thing. Thank you again for showing how to do this. I also tried napkins and still can't believe how much it changed them, so sturdy, and how useful they are to me now. It's magic!

Nik , if your glassine paper is cracking when you emboss it using an embossing machine try running it through along with a regular piece of copy paper or even lightweight cardstock. It greatly reduces the break through. Hope this helps. I am new to watching your videos and have subscribed. You’re the best!! So thankful! 😍

I watched Roxy Creations who watched you and her results are fabulous -- I ordered tracing paper from Amazon, but doesn't get here until tomorrow !! Thank you so much -- also -- I print on fabric a lot and I have for years used regular old Dollar Tree hairspray to set the ink (after letting it dry) -- I also spray the fabric prior to printing and let it sit overnight -- it becomes tacky and just grabs the ink -- I only have an ink jet but saving for a color laser -- this is a great new technique -- thank you so much for sharing

I make envelopes from watercolour paper. Once I’ve painted my design and calligraphied the address I fold and glue, add postage. Then I rub over the entire envelope (if sealed …otherwise avoid strip you need to glue) with Vaseline. Use your finger and gently rub a small amount in circles. There will be some excess! Leave propped up in a toast rack for a day, gently rub off any excess with paper towel and leave another day maybe … depends on your paper. This doesn’t make it transparent but smooth and waterproof and seemingly stronger to get through the postal service intact.

Nick, have you tried a glisserin water mixture to turn the tracing paper into glassine? May be less caustic. Love your style and art. You have turned journal making into a money making art...and you NEVER over embellish your books. Each one is a true thoughtful work of art. Thank you. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
