How To Create Mixed Media Journaling Cards Using Washi Tape Step-by-Step/

[@BeAgainBooks]

Lovely cards Barbara! I love, love, LOVE mixed media and you are always an inspiration. And I appreciate that you would support Anne - 👍

[@xdebjones]

you do wonderful tutorials that are easy to follow and learn from. and you tell us alternative materials. thank you.

[@irispeters7313]

So many thoughtful steps and considerate processing to build those card masterpieces. I’m totally in awe. I hope those cards go to people who treasure them. I started to gift self made cards and little journals to friends/family and realized that they don’t really value them because they can’t imagine how much creative activity and artistry it means to create and personalize them. And you people surely know about the love you feel about every one of your “babies”. But watching the creativity, spirit and spunk of the Junk Journal Community makes me feel happy to have started my own journaling journey. I appreciate all of you. Thanks so much!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! It is a wonderful community! ❤️

[@ionelena325]

I love these techniques, I enjoy watching Shanouki Art channel and she uses similar techniques. ❤❤❤

[@lindahigham5317]

Good afternoon 👋☺️ 49 dragonflies 🌹 love your cards and the prompts today thank you for sharing enjoy your day 👍🌹💌☺️👋🦄

[@clairehawkes1112]

Love that you went back to the butterflies until you were happy. Definitely worth it imo x

[@amychuck2357]

You creativity never ceases to AMAZE me Barbara!!!!😀

[@hankejoosen4029]

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw your title. Earlier today I was searching tutorials with washi-tape! Thank you to read my mind 😂. Gorgeous cards 🤩🤩🤩

[@49dragonflies]

☺️ lucky timing! ❤️

[@paperpuddles]

I'm always amazed how a blank piece of paper can turn into something so magnificent. I am so intrigued watching your processes. I love practicing your techniques; it is so satisfying to try something new and be really happy with how it looks in the end. Thanks again for sharing your time with us.. 🌹

[@jkmacrunnel]

I love those cards, they are so fun! Nice mixed media project. I actually earlier today made some cards out of master collage board I made. I used a lot of mixed media backgrounds for it, as well as a far amount of washi, then embellished them with some fun ephemera and sentiments. Another you can do is make your mixed media elements on a scrap and then cut them out with the die cut machine. They are less delicate that way when you are adding water and inks.

[@Charlathejournalingjunky]

These look amazing Barbara, I love the grungy look of them, absolutely amazing, I bet Luise would love these for sure lol tfs xxx Lottie xxx

[@andreameyskens2728]

WoW Barbara! Es ist Dir wieder gelungen! Du hast mich (uns) wieder inspiriert! Wunderschön, herzlichen Dank! 😘😘 aus Belgien 💖✨👍🏼🌸

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

Love all the different dimensions it makes your cards pop

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: great job using up washi tape. Sometimes I think that washi tape multiples when you turn your back. Haha Carol from California

[@49dragonflies]

Haha thanks! I think you might be right! 😂❤️

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

What can I say but WOW. Amazing what you do with Washi tape. I always learn so much watching your videos! Thank you for inspiring. Patti

[@wendyk2557]

I love how these came together with the different layers you added and the colors are gorgeous.

[@gillianmilburn3712]

Oh these are fabulous. I love how what you're making seems to start off simple but builds into an amazing piece of work.

[@meadowbookjournaling8210]

Oh my goodness!! These cards are so gorgeous! I love how you used both watercolor and distress ink. Thank you so so much for doing this collaboration with me and showing me so much support ❤️ I appreciate it so much! I love all of the mixed media. This video is so inspiring that to have to get crafting now❤️ Happy crafting, Anne MeadowBookJournaling

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback and for inviting me to be part of your collaboration, Anne! It was the perfect prompt for me as I don’t use my washi enough! ❤️

[@tonyashatley5040]

They turned out gorgeous! You would never know it was packaging! Love it! The backgrounds are amazing!

[@theeditor1149]

I love how the beauty emerged as you went about making them. Im usually not a fan of vintage or distressed looks but these came out so beautiful and perfectly placed. You have a gift of turning ordinary things into beautiful things. So glad I stumbled across this.

[@aprilcarter749]

Beautiful cards I have no die cut machine but will give the hearts a try along with washi tape plenty rolls of those on hand. Thanks for sharing.

[@sandikalin636]

These are darling, Barbara. Great way to use up wash tapes. Thank you for another great video 💋💋

[@ultraviolet13881]

So beautiful!! Also, go to 21:47, you will get a kick out of that! Hardly noticeable, but I loved it. :)

[@debbiecarter6430]

She did, didn’t she? 😊🥰

[@49dragonflies]

Hehehe 😂 😂😂

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

We love you Barbara 🤣🤣🤣

[@maryschuler9512]

Brayed Furlap. Why not? I know you will just giggle at yourself when you realize it. That's just who you are and why we love you!🥰. Cards are beautiful.

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

These are pretty. Like the butterflies after the added watercolor. 🥰

[@sarojm893]

So beautiful Barbara. What an inspiration this is, the next time I would like to watch and create along with you with supplies that I have. Take care Barbara.

[@rowenaroberts813]

Oh Barbara, I just love your work. These cards are wonderful. I really wish I have as much talent as you have. Beautiful! 🥰

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! It’s not talent! It’s practice and passion! ❤️

[@carolschneider8589]

Barbara, these are so cool!! I have tons of washi especially with gold metallic accents. I love the way you use your mixed media on these projects, because it really gives me ideas and helps me be more creative with my materials. Thank you for always giving me inspiration. I always enjoy these types of projects. Keep 'em coming!! Hugs, Carol Schneider

[@coccinella212]

You're so sweet, Barbara. I'm glad I found your KZbin channel.

[@MaureenAstrid]

They are very beautiful sweetie 🥰 I love the dark colors and the whole vibe

[@mmonr]

These are beautiful journaling cards. Yes, I needed tips for using my washi tapes. Thanks

[@connielester1641]

Love the mixed media❣️

[@tuthillg]

Lovely tags! So enjoy the mixed media tags! TFS the inspiration!

[@clareberlin536]

I love them! I also loved the 'brayed furlap' that crept in! New favorite colour ❤️

[@49dragonflies]

😂🙈

[@kykategray]

I wondered if anyone else caught that:) Brayed Furlap is a favorite of mine, too. Glad I’m not the only one that mixes up words. Love these gorgeous, grungy tags! Hugs from KY, USA.

[@nancypyter1511]

Love how they turned out Barbara!

[@janiebrewer5159]

Enjoyed watching your video. We'll look forward to watching more of your videos thank you for sharing.

[@Valkennestblogspot]

Very pretty these mixed media cards! Loved to see how you made these. Greetings Maia

[@melanieevaldi6468]

I liked the butterflies before you darkened them, but of course I'm not seeing exactly what you see although the end result were pretty too. I also love the color combinations used in the background. Smashingly done Barbara !!!

[@msmarlene4977]

Love your cards! I'm getting back to mixed media. I got away from it and don't really know why, but watching your videos reminds me that it was fun to do. Thank You!

[@sandiharkin9922]

Love them both!

[@malindawalk9418]

Your mix media is stunning, luv the way you work, thank you for the inspiration,

[@angelaarnold4255]

Oh wow!! These turned out so beautiful. I really love Texture Paste. And with the Distressed Oxides and watercolor paint on them, they are the perfect amount of grunge. I love how you built up the grunge with different layers of paint and Oxides. Each new color changed the look completely. Can’t wait to try these in my Journal. I just got some extremely sad news on Sunday. My oldest brother passed away. He didn’t want a funeral. So I think I’ll have to say goodbye to him with a similar card dedicated to what an amazing man he was. Thank you for sharing this with us. Your videos are always calming to me. Seriously needed that today. 💔💔💔

[@49dragonflies]

Hi sweetie, I’m so very sorry for the loss of your beloved brother and send you all my love! Making a beautiful card is a beautiful way to say goodbye in your own way! ❤️

[@angelaarnold4255]

@@49dragonflies thank you Barbara. You’re seriously the sweetest person! My Grandkids (and my kids) have been so good to help me through this. Sharing memories and laughing at things he did. The laughter has been so healing. I’ll be okay. I keep thinking about the reunion he’s having with our parents. They’re all in a better place. ♥️♥️♥️

[@annwoleben5439]

Interesting combinations of washi, colors, and texture~

[@sandral.2828]

Barbara, Please make more videos that show how to use washi tape. I must have over 100 different tapes, many different designs, styles and colors. I bought them because I liked them but had no specific plan. Please, help me with more ideas. 🤗

[@lindaallen7605]

Beautiful very inspiring can’t wait to get started xxxxx

[@richardmendoza4389]

This is the 1st video of yours that I've ever watched. What a journey of the imagination! Every aspect of the process fascinated me, especially adding cornstarch to the gesso. I have a feeling I'll be watching more of your content in the future. (...but, oh, that poor brayer...please put that brayer out its misery...) 😉

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! What’s wrong with my brayer??? 😂

[@pattybarr8710]

Beautiful! ❤️

[@WilmaVoermans]

Beautiful journalcards, and happy to see you did not put Gesso on the backside. I see it happen many times on YT and it will ruin all of your pens. Been there , done that :)

[@mariakristinaengen3215]
