Fun Technique for Junk Journal Embellishments! Simply Craft with Me! :) The Paper Outpost :)

[@karendananay6730]

Love this idea. I always forget I can pause your videos. It's like we're having conversation

[@gloriahosking3834]

Great idea for using up washi tape. Sonny is so darn cute, even with a grubby face, love him. Bless you all. 🥰😘😘

[@sherryliberto6749]

Yeah, with the Scrappy fabric. Cool 😎,. Thanks for sharing. Have a super fantastic weekend 💜 Sherry

[@janeenrodgers5993]

Fantastic.! Who knew adding a border could be this fun and simple.

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

Hahaha, Pam... thank you. You brought up a haha memory for me regarding markers. We, too, called them "Magic Markers". I was .... I think 8 or 9, and still tended to be a bit rough on stuff, inadvertently. I can't remember details, but this is pretty close to it: Me, playing with (narrow-tip) magic markers, gets angry cus yet ANOTHER tip has retreated into the marker and didn't want to "play fair". Older (by 3 years) brother who lost his patience fixing my markers exactly 1 marker ago: THEY'RE MAGIC MARKERS. YOU ARE KILLING THE MAGIC! Me, startled as he tells me that the "magic" of a marker is its ability to lay down color with a GENTLE touch on paper. No pressure needed. He then fixed the marker, said it was the last time and walked away. (Can't blame him, tbh). So, a rather stunned me sits there, magic markers around me, completely floored by the fact that this was possible. Tested it out. HOLY SMOKES. He was RIGHT! It WAS Magic! (Think on it... pens and pencils require a bit of pressure to transfer ink/graphite to paper. We expect it. Markers do NOT.) Btw, I never did that to a marker again, unless it was a crappy marker to begin with. Anyway... my brother's theory of why Markers are actually Magic Markers. And... even though I now know WHY it works, it's still magical to me =D

[@christinecrow1410]

What a great read. Thanks.

[@meichelle2000]

LOL!!! Thats hilarious!!! Hahaha!!! Your poor brother was over putting the magic back!! We used to call them magic markers too but for me, I thought there was actual magic in the marker and was pretty disappointed the first time I used them (about age 5ish maybe) and got nothing but ink hahaa

[@seameology]

I think there was a brand Magic Markets at one point.

[@seameology]

Magic Markers were invented in 1952. They were the inspiration for Sharpies. If I remember correctly, the magic part was you could still write with them when you wrote on a ceiling or wall orientation. The ink would stop flowing in pens when writing sideways. I couldn't find that on Google. Anyway, I think your brother was mostly correct! What a creative kid!

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

@Seameology ooooo, thank you for the added history on it! Yeah, that would, indeed, seem like magic - the ability to write upside down or on a wall... And some very, VERY wise and creative people immediately (or, well, soon enough lol) saw a million uses for this magic flowing "ink"... and i, for one, am thankful. Good grief, how boring life would have been before markers! Meh, we wouldn't have known and likely would have used whatever we could to be creative. It doesn't surprise me that they are the precursor to Sharpies. ❤️ my sharpies. ☺️ And yeah... bro could be pretty imaginative at times. The fact that he was (kind of) close is amazing... but the dude always was way smart. It's one of my favorite stories about my bro, and I still can't pick up any kind of marker without thinking of that day and smiling.

Super idea to jazz up simple envelopes. Nicely done.

Hi Pam! When you do the faux calligraphy you go back and thicken the down strokes on each letter. Honestly, you can do whatever you want but I know that's one "rule." Thanks for more inspiration!! Hi Sunny!!!! He's so cute! Thanks for sharing!!

[@karennaturallyartby]

Masking projects are one of my favorite techniques- I will definitely try these! Thanks Pam ❤️

[@CarrieRushoway]

This is SO lovely 😍.

[@christinecrow1410]

Pam, you are hilarious. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you

[@embracelostedges]

Vertical strokes are the thicker lines in calligraphy. When I'm watching your videos, my daughter will laugh and say, "Wow, she's a lot." I have to agree but it's a fun chaos. I connect with your chaos, which is good and bad. :-) I lose my supplies all the time, even though I haven't moved.

Lovely, simple idea I would never have thought of! Already thinking how I will use. It is still difficult to remember to say just "markers" as I remember when they 1st came out...& for the time, they were magical. 😯😊

Love these ideas for stamping and creating cute envelopes and faux envelopes. They turned out so cute, and such a great way to use up the unloved washi tape. _ I always called them magic markers too_ . 🐕

I just stamped a few of my long strips of scrap paper and they came out gorgeous. They will be nice to use in a collage.

[@michelleyetman4876]

Nice work as always Pam :) Can't wait to try myself. Love Sunny and his pup-dates 😍

[@janoirmoon5099]

Hi Pam. I think I might still call them magic markers 😂 and I still think they are magical too! Love this idea.. actually all the ideas you shared. Thank you! I never thought of that envelope trick. That's kinda magical too.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

our little Sunny had a busy day lol - i love this idea Pam - how much fun would it be to make a stationery set for someone - i loved to collect them when i was younger - you know back in the day when we wrote letters lol - i look forward to creating some of these goodies - thank you and i hope you have a wonderful 4th of July - enjoy and be safe xx

[@teresazuehls4163]

What a fabulous Idea. Love how you took the idea and ran with it. I don't really make junk journals (did make one from a 5x7 card and loved it) but I can use this idea on cards and scrapbook pages.💖

[@karenstewart8818]

What a neat idea! I thought of gluing a paper clip to it. I'm glad you showed the washi tape as the 'border' to do the stamping. As I still don't have stamps or ink pads yet, I thought, oh, I could use some pretty washi tape I have and be done, or use the washi and then just some stencils and colored pencils or paint. So, my 'to do' list this weekend is a smidge longer!

[@mollymouse4900]

Lovely as usual Pam !

[@happymailmagic]

I've never really been big on stamping, but now I'm really wishing I had some ink & stamps! Especially Peg Stamps!) You always have the most Amazing Ideas! I just realized the only Washi-Tape I have is a tiny 3-pack I picked up at The Dollar Tree! Darn, I need some Washi too! Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to try something new! Of course I'm sure a similar technique/look could be achieved with supplies I already have. •BUT• It'd probably take me DAYS to FIND the stuff in my 'Never-Ending Crafty Storage Closet!' I'd be able to go to the craft store to buy supplies; Create a few Sets of Stationary; Wrap them up real pretty & mail them out for my RAK's this month~All in WAY LESS TIME than it'd take me to find the supplies I bought a while ago & never used! LOL! I need to find some of those cute little stamps you have! Awesome video as always!!! ~🙏💙🙏~
