how I make digital printable background papers for junk journals! [BEHIND THE SCENES VLOG#01]

Luise... how do you make digital paper? How long does it take to create a digital paper collection? What programs are you using? Is it very difficult to make your own digital printable paper or can I perhaps also make my own at home?
This is the start of my new series "MAKING OF - BEHIND THE SCENES VLOG"! I'm taking YOUR questions & suggestions to create a whole new digital paper collection! I'll walk you through the single steps from the first scan to the final product in my Etsy shop! And of course I'm showing you ideas on how to use the printed paper that's laying on your desk!

Ahhhhh! The key to the kingdom ! THE Secret! The Holy Grail of Junk Journal Mysteries!! Such a ROCK STAR you are--thank you 🌼

[@luiseheinzl]

Lol.... Only a part of the secrets ... The whole thing would be way tooooo loooong

[@MorgaineChristensen]

Great video! While I am new to junk journaling, I, like you, am self taught with photoshop. I have been learning photoshop (still am) and creating “textures” for 3D models for years. Creating textures is a similar process to creating digital backgrounds for junk journals. It usually is a long process and a lot of work to create the final product. I am glad you created this so others can appreciate the process and are aware creating background papers is as not as simple as you might think.

[@luiseheinzl]

Oh, that sounds interesting! Can we see some of your work somewhere?

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

If you would want to learn, you can create macros to apply to similar pages. It applies a file of set editing/changes to an image. It would greatly reduce your time when you are editing a series of pages with similar adjustments. I too am self-taught. I love using my Affinity Suite of image editing software and I plan to learn to use macros. It's a must because I do SO much creatively, as I'm sure you understand. Affinity Designer, Publisher and Photo rival Photoshop but are one-off purchases without a monthly subscription payment. I am not an affiliate pushing to get any commission. I just love Serif's Affinity. Thanks for sharing your technique. I love it! 💛

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

The main process for creating a macro file is to remember to set it to record before you start making your changes and adjustments on an image. Once you're finished, you stop the macro recording, name the macro and save it in Macros. Then you can go to it, click and apply it to any image. It will instantly set, in your current open image, every step that you did in that original image. Then you can go on and make additional adjustments to that image if you want. I think macros can contain as many steps as needed. Sounds like heaven, doesn't it? 😄 I think it's a very under-used feature of graphics programs.

Luise, this is a very generous series that you are proposing! Very educational and interesting too. I know how much work a d time it takes to learn all of this and then all the time and work to plan, make, edit and post these videos!! I'm very grateful for all you do!!

[@tanyaknight1201]

I've wanted to know about digital prints for a while now so this playlist will be perfect, I loved watching ur process and the end results are fab x

[@lauragaudry3402]

Thanks for the education. So much technical work in creating digitals…I will leave it to the experts! 🤣😂. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦

[@brendagilbert7881]

WOW! That is so impressive! I did not grow up with digital anything in the 50's and 60's..so it has all been a challenge to learn, even using a cell phone, and computer, so I am blown away at all of this!! Glad you are doing all the hard work, and I see how time consuming it is!! Well Done!

[@janetedens]

Thank you, Luisa.

[@kathysaleeba3397]

Interesting! Some people create, others buy...I'm in the buyer category. Buying won't trigger an occupation migraine headache. :)

[@sandikalin636]

I’m a buyer as well. I cannot imagine even thinking about doing this

[@luiseheinzl]

And I am happy, very happy, that you are from the buyer category! Otherwise it wouldn't even make sense what I'm doing here the whole day lol ❤️❤️❤️

[@joanfriant211]

Ty for sharing this 💓

[@victorialadjadj8592]

Facinating as always Luise, I love watching how your thought process works and having you tell us the little details behind what you are doing. I'm having a bit of a bad time at the moment and finding producing any work of my own very difficult. But, when I watch your videos, I find it very peaceful as well as incite full. Because of the great depth of detail of your own life, you reveal to us in your recordings, it somehow helps me get my own percpective of things more in ballance. Thankyou for being there for me and so many others in our crafting 'family'. Many blessings to you and Gerri, stay well and happy dear friend, from Victoria in England with much love and many hugs 😘💐😘💐😘

[@amyvetter1830]

Thank you for sharing your process, I look forward to the rest

[@createscout247]

WOW! I have been looking for tutorials on how to do this exact process. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Thank you for creating this "series". I look forward to watching any and all of the videos you create in this series as well as the amazing artistry you create. THANK YOU!

[@janinebarash777]

Thank you so much. I also would like to make my own digital. I'm very excited to see this new series.

[@susanmorales8675]

This is just what I was looking for, Luise. You presented the information with such clarity. Thank you so much.

[@JoMamaLuvsReptiles]

Thank goodness I found this! Bless you.

[@denorahmicale5581]

I would never take the time to do this process, but I am so glad you showed this. It is a lot of work on your part. I had know idea how this was done.

[@cathyekl2631]

Wow! That is fascinating!

[@tfntexas]

You put a lot of work into doing digital downloads! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@Astras-Stargate]

You barely started and already I'm ready to buy the kit! I never felt I succeeded at my attempts. I utterly failed at digital inking, too! Can’t wait to see those flip throughs. Thanks, Luise!!

[@Ammiel7]

Hi Luise your work is amazing Love all you do Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺❤️

[@lorettahealy1744]

Thanks heaps for the information 😊 It's good for people to see what's involved. It is time consuming. You are a beautiful creative lady. Have a lovely Easter. Cheers from Australia

Wow! That's a lot of work. Really good information and now I am totally intimidated. Lol

[@cardchick50]

OMG..didn't know there are so many steps......thank you for sharing...now buyers will know it takes many steps and time to produce such lovely pages...💕💕💕

[@Jeannes1234]

I think this is going to be a great series Luise

[@arthouse2030]

Exactly the tutorial I for which I have been searching for a couple of days. I hope you have added one regarding taking photos also. :)Thank you Louise!!

[@selinastephens5265]

Thanks for that, very informative and interesting ❤️❤️❤️

[@veronim77]

Enjoyed video and was very interesting. I used to have photo shop program many , many years ago. But was never as detailed as you. I used to use it for birthday cards only. Your digitals are amazing. I need to purchase another printer so I can downloaded your digi’s . Thank you for sharing.

[@cherrydulaney6572]

THIS VIDEO! Facintating! This is exactly what I was hoping you would teach/show us. Your printable pages are full of depth and wonder. I could not imagine how you got some of the effects on your printable pages. Because I don’t make junk journals, or journals of any kind, I can see that I will be starting at square one to create my own digital printables for my mail art postcards. But at least I know the outline of your process. Thank you so much, Luise.

[@susanmyrick2913]

Fascinating to see yet another skill I don’t have. 😏 I could never have the patience to do this…so I am glad you do!

[@3258pamela]

I am just amazed here.........I just looked at some of Kerstin's work on Instagram (of course I had to follow her) absolutely stunning work. And You Ma'am as well.....ya know I think 99% of the videos I've see have been from Australians, that speaks to me somehow LOL Just found you this morning, looking at how to do digitals LOL.....go figure LOL Happy New Year hun!!! I'm the one on the passenger side, the short one LOL....with my Daughter, Faith.

Thank you. This was most helpful and oh so interesting. Photoshop certainly has opened up the world of digital art.

[@KateriBurnett]

Hi Luisa Happy Easter, watching on TV and commenting as you work. Loved watching this video. It does take a long time to make a background, I work in Photoshop too for making posters or signs for church. I’ve been thinking about making digitals too but not sure how to start. I do love your digitals and I do have many. On to your next video. Bye bye

[@fibergoddess1]

Thank you so much. This was very interesting and understandable. 👏🏽💜

[@jayneterry8701]

I'm in awe too like others here into all that goes into making these pages but then unloading them to your shop. You said it takes a long time. Is it easy to switch from doing art to editing art? They both seem like full time jobs! 😯

[@4alicekg]

I taught myself Photoshop, Photography, Photo Editing, a little bit of Web Design etc., and had so much fun with it! Whether it was for my old job at an Antique Auction Company, or with my own personal projects. It's been years since I've done these things but boy do I miss it. What you do is seriously a whole other level of AMAZING. Just the scanning then editing and color correcting in Photoshop is SO time consuming and tedious on its own. To then add in all the work it takes in the uploading process on Etsy is just mind blowing and I don't know if people realize how much work it all really is!! Not to mention if the process of making your own mixed media junk journal creations, and then doing all these steps. It all truly is a work of art and beauty within itself. Your hard work and dedication is SO incredibly inspiring to me, and I can't thank you enough for having this KZbin channel and sharing all of your amazing-ness with us!! Much love as always 💞💞💞💞

[@4alicekg]

Also I just noticed house of chaos's name is Kerstin - Mine is Kiersten pronounced ”keer-sten”. Is hers pronounced the same? So cool either way because I follow her on Instagram and never knew her name!!

[@luiseheinzl]

Aww 🥰 thank you so much ❤️ I highly appreciate your words!!! Kerstin is pronounced the other way around than your name. "ker-steen" hopefully I have used the right spelling for that kind of "language"

[@billie-jotravels7731]

Love this video and I can't wait for the rest of the series. I have a question for you what do you mean by parameters and how do you know what parameters to put in?

[@barbaracabrera207]

I sometimes remember to scan my favorite papers and pages. When I buy a printer it will be easier. Thx

Luise, my dear gal, is that u on the front of this journal - u are holding (a journal) at the beginning of this video on making DIgitals ?? I don’t imagine it is but it is lovely. She (the baby) looks like u, though. This baby is ‘ADORABLE’ that’s why she reminds me of u. I love what your subject is on this video. U go gal !! Love your follower Darlene 🇨🇦
