Very fun. I love the stamping idea. Ive only seen this with printed napkins. I dont own an iron believe it or not. Ill have to look for one at the thrift store. I used to iron all the laundry especially husbands shirts. Since the divorce i havent touched one. Im all ironed out 😂😂😂😂 fun video as usual anne with an e😊❤ you are my inspirational guru❤
I love the faux vellum idea! A easier way to shave the candle would be to use a cheese grater. They got small handled ones at dollar tree usually. Then you can get a lot done at once and have a stash whenever you need it! 🤗❤
Great video. I use a slightly different technique to get the melted wax vellum look. (basically warm up the paper and rub with the side of a candle, use kraft paper as a blotter).I love the pockets you made! I'm going to add something similar to my current journal project. I wonder if I can draw an image with permanent marker? Or maybe I will try something with a preprinted napkin. Ooo the juices are flowing-thanks Anne. (It's not even 8 AM yet)
Great tip with rubbing the candle - I’ll try that while my candle stuff is still out! Have fun with the pockets and whatever else you try! Thanks so much.
I just love your videos!! Like everytime I swear❤. I love this idea and cnt WAIT to do this. I'm getting ready to start a new journal and these will Def be added....thank you as always for sharing 😊
I really like this idea! I’m wondering if you could use the faux vellum over pretty paper die cut shapes to make dangles? Coffee is a crafting must for me- nectar of the gods!
Thanks!! I did think about the cheese grater but didn't want to co-opt our only one from the kitchen - and I was doing fine with the craft knife. But I do see on here many folks do prefer grating, so....that's grate! (ha!) Thanks for watching.
Wow Anne, these are fantastic. How does the faux vellum handle die cutting? How about running through embossing folders? I would like to try this in some of my card making. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Thanks, Brenda! I didn't try die cutting but I did use a circle punch on a few pieces - as long as I put a cardstock-weight piece in with the faux vellum, it punched just fine. I don't think I'd try die cutting anything too detailed, though. But it's an interesting thought, thanks for bringing it up.
I love this idea! So fun. I was thinking about the crayons idea, and maybe if you mixed the shavings with white candle shavings, it might be more shear? Just a thought. Reminds me of the Freezer paper technique, but different.
I honestly hadn’t thought of that earlier, Gayle, but if you store your journals in a hot environment, probably best to use regular vellum. Thanks for watching!
That's interesting, Lynne, thanks for sharing that caution. I can see how, if you were storing your journal in a warm place, that some tissue paper wouldn't go amiss to protect other items.
