BUILD YOUR STASH - Mixed Media Art Journal Tutorial- Coffee Filter Collage Papers

[@fazestorm4441]

The cone filters remind me of Japanese fans you could really dress those up and make them look so nice in a journal

[@KarenBurchill]

Yes they make great collage papers. K

So interesting to see how you do these. I have a bunch of those coffee filters from an old coffee pot and I also have the Pendaflex hanging folder, so now I just have to get busy and make some!!!😊😊 Thanks for sharing your amazing creative talent.

[@KarenBurchill]

Looks like you have everything you need for a build a stash session....plus the desire to have fun. Enjoy it. K

[@ChrisSenM]

Your videos are always so helpful. Thank you!

[@KarenBurchill]

Glad you like them!

Ok... I need to go get a pad and paper and come back to rewatch and take notes! I've been on the fence about whether I wanna have a crack at art journaling, and now I definitely want to try it!

[@KarenBurchill]

You should! It can bring you a lot of joy. K

[@RoseOriginals]

You got me excited, so I pulled out the used filter from today's coffee and I make one. Not thrilled with the outcome, but I'm going to lighten it further and add some stamping. This is fun!

[@KarenBurchill]

Sometimes it's a matter of adding another layer...lightening it with adding white...splattering, stenciling etc......when you glue them down they tend to brighten. K

Hello Karen, I enjoy watching you make the coffee filter backgrounds. It’s a nice surprise to see all the variations. 😊

[@KarenBurchill]

Have you ever collaged with these. They work so well. Colors get more vibrant when glued down

[@fazestorm4441]

I love your filters they're really pretty

[@KarenBurchill]

Thanks so much. They work so well as collage fodder. K

[@leotapentecost]

First time I splattered it got all over me the floor, table etc. Glad I’m not the only one. Going to try coffee filter to play with the colors

[@KarenBurchill]

Good luck! and Happy creating.K

[@fazestorm4441]

It looks a lot like you did it on a job play it's so beautiful

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you

[@amherst88]

Great tips as always Karen -- I have always let the wetted filters dry before painting them but your way seems much better!

[@KarenBurchill]

There is no right or wrong...each gives different results....and variety is the spice of life. K

[@juliarushing1920]

very interesting and a great idea. I just happen to have some unused coffee filters...

[@KarenBurchill]

Perfect! Something tells me they will not be unused for long. Have fun. K

Very nice video, I like how you put the name of the stencil on the bottom edge of the stencil.

[@KarenBurchill]

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you. Do you collage with coffee filters.

[@chuckkolb1270]

bravo

[@KarenBurchill]

Thanks for watching. K

[@creativebeanart]

What an awesome video Question, what brand and type of coffee filters do you use? Second, have you done a video showing how you made your own stamps? Thanks

[@KarenBurchill]

I buy coffee filters at dollar store...or whereever I get a good deal...usually store brand/generic. K

[@fibergoddess1]

TFS! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜

[@KarenBurchill]

Thanks for watching!

[@fazestorm4441]

Do you seal them with anything

[@KarenBurchill]

No I rarely seal my art journal pages.
