bullet journal STATIONERY RECOMMENDATIONS 🎀 | my stationery favorites & regrets

[@mingostudio]

what are YOUR stationery favorites & regrets? also do you have any ideas of how I can use my quill pen or wax stamps in my bullet journal? let me know below

[@createwithlulu]

I just made a custom bullet journal for one of my friends and when I made her wish list I made the wish list look like it was coming out of an envelope but you could wax seal the envelope! Just an idea

[@mingostudio]

@@createwithlulu ooh that's a good idea ty

I think the issue you're having with the paint pens (Acrylographs and Poscas) is that you're not activating them properly. To activate paint pens, you have to shake the pen THEN pump the tip against a surface by pressing it up and down repeatedly to get the ink flowing again before every use. They're designed this way because if they were constantly flowing it would be a mess alllll the time. But once you do that before each use then you should get lovely opaque colours. For the Acrylographs, Plant Based Bride has a really good video with tips that I think you'll love. Hopefully this helps!

i shaked and pumped and nothing was working. (loll that sounds like a poem ahah) but yeah idk maybe it didn't wait long enough who knows. i'll go check out her vid :)

So fun to watch! I could watch you talk stationary for hours. 😂❤

Some people just use colored pencils as the main coloring medium in their bujo because theres no bleed through... its a good option for me bc i love thinner paper but i prefer supertips bc of vibrancy

[@mingostudio]

i love a good colored pencil, but you’re right supertips are the best esp. for bullet journaling

[@cherry-jx6mn]

Thankfully I know I'm not alone with my love of stationary & it's one of my favourite things to shop for. So many stationary types I love such as .... Anything from Stabilo, Uni Ball, Bic, Staedtler, WHSmith, Crayola, WithIt, Flying Tiger, Paperchase, Waterstones, Argos, Woolworths (when it was around, also other sadly obsolete stores we no longer see which sold stationary), Faber-Castell, and when it was everywhere Playboy stationary. Stationary that's sold at English Heritage such as the castles. Stationary sold at museums of all kinds and heritage places Any gift & souvenir shops. Claire's accessories stationary. The odd bits of stationary at Boots and Superdrug, usually around Christmas. Card Factory stationary. Eden Project and other nature related places and thier stationary. Stationary at supermarkets & convenience stores/corner shops/newsagents/off-licences & B&M, Poundland, Wilko, The Factory Shop, Poundstretcher, Home Bargains & charity shops. Also charity and company stationary itself.

Thank you!! I love stickers and washi!! If you aren’t that creative, you can literally create a spread with just stickers and washi. You can also cut out from magazines and glue them with dual tape. I really love to write with fountain pens. Not so much calligraphy or dip pens. However, fountain pens aren’t good for headings, just for writing. I thought that acrylograph was for blending? Or is that another one? thank you so much for this wonderful video!

[@mingostudio]

i've heard acrylographs can be blended just like paint, and also that once they dry you can layer another color on top. but i haven't tried that, i just bought it for a white pen which is why i didn't like it :/

[@createwithlulu]

Thank you for another amazing video! I loved it! Keep up the great work! I just did my 2022 February bullet journal set up on my channel!

[@mingostudio]

thanks girl

Prismacolors are very pigmented and vibrant. Not sure if you somehow got a counterfeit set or if the issue was with the technique.

[@mingostudio]

maybe my technique was off. it was a gift and definitely authentic prismacolors :)

I think I saw AmandaRachLee say in one of her videos that after shaking, you also have to press and hold down the acrylographs tightly on some surface and wait for the paint to come out. maybe try doing that. I have never owned any acrylographs so I can't say for sure. And the Uniball Signo, I love them too. They are such a great quality pen for the price. I use Doms markers and coloured pencils mostly.(Doms is the name of the brand) They do not have a huge colour range. I think they have only like 24 colors maximum in their markers but they are cheap and great quality. And also considering that I am in 9th grade and not like my parents would let me spend 30-40$ for some markers. I never commented on any videos tbh, cuz sometimes people start fighting in the comment sections but this time I had to. I just adoooore how artsy your journaling style is and I would looooove love love to be able to make journals as intricate and detailed as yours.(Not like I hate my own.) But yeah, I just needed to let you know how much I enjoy watching your videos. I must have watched your 2021 flipthrough at least 5 times by now hehe. Stay safe

[@mingostudio]

you are the sweetest hooman omg ty :)

[@mingostudio]

and i've never heard of Doms markers, but they sound nice! I'd also recommend crayola supertips which are really cheap but good quality. Their 100 pack is like $15 hehe

[@GrungeGranny]

Tbh I think something’s wrong with your acrylograph Bc mine never has that issue and it’s definitely always been the most opaque 😅

[@mingostudio]

maybe ahaha who knows
