[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Catherine - I do like grunge xo

[@deannabates1575]

Very interesting idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@evelynrauseo467]

Glad to see your process. I have seen thus done using a citrus cleaner in a spray bottle. That process was not something I wanted ti try, but I would try this. The journal is lovely. I like the stitched page. It really added intetest. TFS. I did. God bless and stsy safe.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Evelyn - this process is really straightforward and while results can vary depending on the paper in most cases the results are fine. Thanks again :)

[@alisoncouzens3736]

Hi kylie I have done this before a while ago though and don’t they come out amazing, it’s a great project. My robin is coming to my doorstep to tell me he wants mealy worms every day, lol so yes, robins are all year around. Loved watching as always and will be doing some of these for my nature journal, thank you for the reminder and all your inspiration, take care, Ali xx

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Ali - all the birds are very active at the moment - it's like a feedy frenzy every time I put food out. And as you say they come looking for it xo

[@devanntylor9798]

Hi Kylie, I'm new to your channel and group and so happy to have found you. This technique is new to me and love the results. When I get clear packing tape going to try it. Loved the hand sewing on torn page - another new technique to try. Have loved jumping in on your nature month theme 🍃🌷🍃

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Devann and welcome to my channel - glad you found me and the group. I love sewing in my journals - just adds something else of interest to them. Thanks again :)

[@sarahmiller6183]

I am really enjoying your videos. TFS

[@KylieCooStudio]

That's great Sarah - thanks so much :)

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Oh my, how wonderful, your journal is so gorgeous. I've tried this method before with the tape transfers and it wasn't too bad, might try and give it another go for this week's challenge, we'll see, but I'm not making any promises. Tfs xo

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much Elizabeth xo

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

I have seen this before but will try this you gave great instructions

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Sherry :)

[@debbieangelstar]

I do feel “several cups of coffee” is a good substitute breakfast 🤣😂 will be adding this to the ever growing list of things to try! 💕💫

[@KylieCooStudio]

Lol Debbie - it's my breakfast too often but my stomach was growling so much I thought the mic would be picking it up!

[@charmainerutters8459]

Thank you Kylie. I am really looking forward to trying out the transfer of images using packing tape. I always find these kind of processes very interesting, what a lovely idea. You have explained it all so thoroughly. I hope you are doing well. 💕

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks so much Charmaine :)

[@susanannlangford]

Lovely idea. You can get very wide sellotape

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks for watching and for your comment :)

[@healingmagichands]

I love this process. I'm definitely going to try this out, I see it as a great way to put images into my Secret Garden journal. I certainly can relate to you being busy in the garden and being behind on comments, etc. I have ben up to my eyeballs in actual Nature out there, still clearing up from the big storm, building path in the Stroll Garden, and getting my vegetable garden set out. So I am SOOOO behind on making pages or looking at other people's. Maybe I'll be able to do more when the weather gets blazing hot again.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Ellie - we've had great spring weather here which has made such a difference during lockdown. have got on with garden jobs that might not have got done otherwise. :)

[@martineflynn3573]

Hello, glad I discovered you x

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Martine - thanks for connecting with me :) xo

[@joyceparkes2678]

Great tutorial thanks so much 🙏🏽

[@TheOldladyB]

Beautiful......and there's nothing wrong with coffee......

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Darlene - and I so agree :)

[@donnacarraway9182]

Thank you! This is really fascinating! Have you ever tried to glue it onto something more translucent like tracing paper? It might make a fun clear-ish tag or a window in a tag. Love it! Also I wonder if you have tried it with a photograph? Wonderful!💕

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Donna - thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes, I love working with anything translucent - so tracing paper, deli paper etc. It's a good idea to try with photographs as well. Thanks again

[@hollymaudsley3187]

Lovely. Will try this.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Holly - hope you enjoy trying it :)

[@selinastephens7602]

Cool project

[@KylieCooStudio]

Many thanks Selina :)

[@jenscreativeexplorations]

Lovely!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Many thanks Jen :)

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

I've tried this years ago but wasnt really happy with the results. It took me too long to get the paper off. Distress wasnt a thing back then! Might have to try again.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks for watching and commenting Cass :)

[@WilmaVoermans]

I like the video(always love your videos) , but I dont understand why a package transfer? The shine always comes through although the matt medium .. A picture can be distressed way better without the plastic. And looks perhaps better than plastic in your beautiful grunge journal. Or do I oversea a point that makes plastic transfers looking better than paper?

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks for your kind comment about my videos. You make a very valid point about the packing tape and that has made me stop and think about it's use especially in a nature journal. I do distress images in other ways and I suppose I was just trying to show something different this time. I'll be mindful of this in future. Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@WilmaVoermans]

@@KylieCooStudio Something different is always good, why not... :) Thanks for your answer Kylie !

[@janetnieves5056]

Gr8 idea,tfs☺☺☺

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thanks Janet :)

[@fazestorm4441]

You could put baking paper between the pages and they wouldn't stick

[@acknims]

paper into the tree?? Sounds interesting but what did you mean?

[@KylieCooStudio]

I'll need to rewatch the video and get back to you on that one Mincka. Leave it with me :)

[@acknims]

Did you found it? Still wondering you know

[@artandminisbyvilma8116]

Will this work gluing them to wood?

[@KylieCooStudio]

That's a good question Vi - it's not something I've tried but I would think that so long as you have a suitable glue then it should. Probably a PVA glue and maybe weighting it down to ensure it can fully bond. I must try it sometime :)

[@nevilgrubb]

What is caddy paper????

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Carrie - it's Khadi paper also known as cotton rag paper. The longer fibres are used to make this paper which gives it a more textured finish than most other papers. Hope that helps :)

[@nevilgrubb]

Kylie Coo Studio “Khadi” paper!! LOL No wonder I couldn’t find it when I searched for it! No I can do another search (I’ve never heard of it) Thank you so much for the help. Just discovered you on YT 😀 Where in Scotland do you reside? It has been years since my last visit .... beautiful country!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Carrie - I always means to put some names up on screen when it's an unusual name ... but I often forget! I'm glad you know now though :) I am around 25 miles east of Edinburgh. If ever you visit again then give me a shout :)

[@nevilgrubb]

Kylie Coo Studio visit you! Absolutely I will! It would be an honor ❤️ When I visited I spent a week in Edinburgh then we traveled to on to Inverness then on to the Isle of Skye. Beautiful country! Don’t worry about putting names in the screen.....I know filming and editing are loads of work....I have done it! It is hard to remember everything!! My husband’s family are the McNaughton’s but I am not sure what area of Scotland they are from. BTW....Love your channel.

[@AmyO.Forever]

I love watching others doing art work, but i had to keep skipping forward because she just took a little too long for my taste. But a few parts were ok. She needs to speed up the process a lot more.

[@KylieCooStudio]

Hi Amy O - thanks for your comment and feedback. I often say in my videos that I am a slow worker - that's just my pace and there are some things I need to take my time with and most of the time I don't want to rush things because I want to enjoy my art and my craft. I do put some things on at a faster speed sometimes but if I think there is benefit to demonstrating a technique at normal speed then I do that - and viewers can use the little gear button to speed up/ slow down if they prefer. I have a number of viewers who prefer to see things at normal speed rather than a time-lapsed video - so I am always trying to strike the right balance. As I say, thanks for your feedback.
