I finally was able to participate in the pajama party today. Loved it. :)

[@jaynesills1248]

SO COOL!!!!!!!!!LOVE IT STACY! THANKS!!!HUGS...

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

Thanks girl!

[@lindadudas9783]

So cool Stacy, AWSOME texture idea's!

[@MrsAlabama]

love all the tips and texture Stacy!!! tfs!!! happy crafting!!

[@Queenofdamned13]

That's awesome Stacy it gives people like me a chance to create without having to go crazy just because i don't have any stencils or textures thanx.....Oh by the way you can make cool flowers with the full of paint baby wipes just dry and save them there's a video for creating the flowers i just cant recall her name but just search it i made some with my own twist you know how it is! 💜

[@AngelroseDesings]

Greta video. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@ClareCreationsAL]

That paper looked great at so many points! But the final result looked like it took hours to create! i LOVE it! There are so many things I use for texture. Fruit mesh, tulle, caps orlids, strap from an old sandal that was disintegrating, belt, bubble wrap, credit cards, cardboard, and even bottles with texture on them. I LOVE how this page looked like old canvas that was painted over and over then worn down over the years!! Thanks so much for sharing everything you do!!

[@ChelleWilson]

Stacy, you are such a crafty inspiration to other people! Thanks for sharing your creativeness for us to learn from :)

[@cleo8665]

Love the backgrounds, Stacy! Thanks for the awesome texture ideas! It definitely helps to create our own tools without spending tons of money. I have a block of floral foam that i think i just might try making a stamp out of. :)

[@rhondagarrison8190]

I'm so happy I found you on KZbin! I love your style and the creativity/re purposing things around the home! I will be binge watching :D

[@lorimcgarrity2146]

totally digging that burlap block. I've got a bunch of burlap, I'll try that with my gelli plate. Most of my texture things is stuff I"ve gotten from the Dollar Tree. Different place mats or sink grates and cool glass platters, the bottoms can be sooo cool. And a lot of the kids toys have some awesome surfaces. I also did a bunch of watercolor paper and stenciled over with embossing paste and that made some great texture "plates". And of course I am sure you already use the produce and fruit mesh bags. They are cool too. I think my utmost fav. for texture is the non skid mats you use under carpets. I have different size holes, some are meant as jar lid helpers and then some for large floor carpets give you a nice big opening. Love those textures. And of course bubble wrap, my favorite is the super duper large bubbles because they give such a cool crackle look when you smush them down. Cellulose sponge is really cool, as is the dish scrubber balls, like nylon or wire mesh, different ones. WOW, that black paper turned out amazing, before the grunge that is. For me anyway, like the final total look but loved it without the grunge colors just as well. Coarse sand paper would be great on the wooden block too. Sorry this comment is so long but I started comments at the beginning and never sent. lol

[@nancywidener2157]

I kept having the same issue with my craft mat every time I went to clean it off! I decided to try tacking it down with a bit of my "least" favorite washi tape....just alittle on each corner! That did the trick...now it does fly all over the place when I'm trying to wipe it off!! :)

[@LORIMERCADO]

That's so neat tyfs

[@mscraftygirl42]

I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for all of the great tips!!!

[@meganfahey9433]

so cool. I love the black. Great for a steam punk like project or just alone. Thanks for sharing! 😄

[@CarolReidCA]

Add some gears & you're gtg!

[@LisaV751]

By the way you are one of the most entertaining teachers on you tube!

[@nickideepwater]

Thanks so much for all the cool ideas. I'm just begining in mixed media, and learning more new techniques is great.

[@karenjohnson6062]

i agree!

[@heatherschye2469]

Oh My Gosh! So smart! Thank you so much for the roller ideas.

[@cjsimplyscraps]

I have to say I was hating the large one with the pink and yellow but by the time u were done I really really loved it!

[@ItayaArt]

Oh my goodness but I love the burlap textures you did! I've got a few different thicknesses of it I want to do this with now. Love the black background one you did too. All just so dang cool! :)

[@ruthm4749]

really like the printing block idea, maybe you could use Velcro on your block and make interchangeable texture pads

[@aliciabell4850]

TY for your info. I don't journal but the paper was beautiful.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

I love your ideas and the looks you got with them.....very inspiring and creative. I'm still not 100% comfortable with making messes but your's always turn out perfect so I'm going to have to fight the OCD and just do it :) Hugs...Janie

[@YvonneG]

i learned so much watching you thanks you so much.

[@gloriaworkman2448]

Feathers are great to do prints and plastic bags also are great .. :)

[@BelindaShort]

Bubble wrap is fun too

[@ritabrandow3750]

That is beautiful paper

[@ScrappinlizziArt]

You just come up with the most awesome things.. I love everything you did on this video and plan to try it myself EXCEPT that darn Styrofoam.. I couldn't even watch you touch it!! It gave me the heebie jeebies so bad that I fell right out of my chair.. I wish I could get over my fear of Styrofoam.. I cannot touch cotton balls either.. I know I am so durn wierd! LOL.. Thank you again for your awesomeness!!

[@chrisharrison5974]

Elizabeth Brewer ...I am the same with cotton wool, it's that horrible crunch...goes right through me...cringe X

[@CarolReidCA]

Awww! We love ya just the way you are!

[@CrazyGreeneyedCraftylady]

I also use this tim holtz black spunge matt to do it on so it soaks in better

[@witsue]

Love the whole video the colours are so wonderful, as you said it looks flipping amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video it is so inspiring. Hugs

[@CrazyGreeneyedCraftylady]

Stacy has amazing ideas, yet ...mine dont come out like hers lol But they are cool i guess, mine look like a hot mess from space but so fun

[@CarolReidCA]

They come out like yours! They aren't supposed to come out like someone else's! Enjoy it!

[@truckerjanierenteria6970]

Have you tried using your used baby wipes letting them dry for ATC cards

[@douleyyates2842]

You use a lot of baby wipes, you should get the walmart brand equate, you get 240 in a refill pack for about $5.00 I use a lot of baby wipes. Pop some in your container that you already have.

[@CarolReidCA]

Douley Yates I just bought a 3-pack for $5 too! Will see how it goes!!!

[@CarolReidCA]

The dollar stores have them sometime s too!

[@renewalof48]

Great info, ty.

[@CrazyGreeneyedCraftylady]

I used black chalk paint

[@gloriaworkman2448]

You could use that grip mats under the pad and that will keep it from moving around ... :) That's if you have any handy ... :) You can get it at the dollar store cheap ... :)

[@barbarakuhn3239]

So you don't have to struggle with your silicone mat you can go to the dollar store and get a shelf liner cut it a small piece of it in a square to fit under it and it will not move around while you're wiping it off Thought I'd let you know seeing how I struggled with that myself and they work fabulous

[@laurasitlington1414]

What kind of glue did you use to make the burlap block?

[@ShelleyCarlson]

🐩🙂

[@aliciabell4850]

With this being do dark, what are you going to do with this? Are you using the cheap craft $1.00 paints? TY

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

its not too dark... i used it as a cover for a journal and for journal pages. And yes, I use cheap paints :) Thanks for watching.

[@CarolReidCA]

Use whatever paints you have. Walmart sometimes has Apple Barrel paints for around 50-75 cents. For mixed media cards, practice, whatever, they are fine! Also, Joann's & Michael's have sets that come out to about the same. Plaid & ArtDeco have sales sometimes too! I got some 16 ounce furniture acrylic paints for about $3.50 on a clearance sale. They are more like fluid acrylics, but come in handy when you need or want that. They are great for paint pours!

[@LisaV751]

What kind of plastic do you have covering your desk?

[@GuadalupeQuinteroCA]

Mary's Mom is a Ranger non-stick craft sheet!!

[@laurasitlington1414]

What kind of glue did you use to make the burlap block?

[@laurasitlington1414]

What kind of glue did you use to make the burlap block?

[@CarolReidCA]

Hot glue works. You can remove it later too & replace it if it gets too mucky!
