I really like how you were able to make the prints appear to have so much depth using the stain/other dark paint(?). The colors finished that layered effect. It is such a simple process yet looks like it took hours. I love this & am going to go see part 2 now. Thanks for sharing your technique. You have definitely inspired me!

[@vishumore]

You are just awesome in crafting something I loved it

[@mickansj334]

Really cool colors and really good, like all your things you do.

[@leandavm8626]

I love watching you think your way through this process and how you resolve issues as they present themselves. It's really looking great so far. Thanks

[@jennifermason9653]

Love it so far...tfs..:)

[@crystalmontgomery-yantzie2638]

After testing a bunch of different finishes, I think the Mod Podge *Satin* Finish (Orange Label) is best for a flat, non glossy finish.

[@kathygb4946]

Absolutely stunning. I love it and enjoyed watching you create.

[@renewalof48]

So Cool.

[@BettsiLedesma]

I'm enjoying this series! Can't wait to watch Part 2!

[@MyKitchenCorner]

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

Looks fabulous so far!!

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Lizzy Wurmann Thanks so much!

[@colleenhudson1254]

The Mod Podge that I get is always white. I had some for a very long time, years and it turned yellow. So I am guessing if it is yellow then that means it is very old. I through out the Mod Podge by Plaid out and I bought new :D

[@ethel2681]

loving it so far, on to step 2 :) x

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Jane W Thanks Jane!!

[@kathrynholden4223]

This was fun to watch and love how it turned out! New to your channel and have learned a lot so thanks!

[@taniasmith9135]

this is sooo cool to see podge podge used and gesso. i'm new to all this and haven't heard of them. now i sort of think i may know what they are used for lol kind of

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Tania Smith Ohh Im glad this helped. I also just made a video today about how to use the different things, so go check that out! I didnt go over mod podge though and that is just a glue meant to be used on gluing paper down. You can make your own version by taking white PVA glue (elmers glue) and mixing it 2 parts glue to 1 part water :)

[@lufernandes2161]

Parabéns 🎊 👏 e com certeza acompanhando todas as partes. 👍 😉😚

[@mytreasuredlife4993]

thanks for sharing this. I will be doing this w my daughters and niece. I do have a question, do you have a recipe for your white gesso?

[@angelbabesuz1612]

This looks fab, I don't have modge podge or that paint you used, can you use acrylic paint over the envelope? :)

[@MsMaria990]

Hi there, love it.

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Maria Diaz Thanks!!

[@thefeatheredhag4279]

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing on to step 2 😊 new subbie here.

[@melangegirl]

Professor, what if we don't have calcium carbonate or bone ash and how do we know if we do or not?

[@MAGGIE660]

LOVE THIS! all 3 parts,. can't find you on etsy on etsy

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+magdalena fernandez Hey there... thanks for watching!! I do have an etsy but I dont have anything up there at the moment. But i plan on making some things as soon as I have more time... thats always the problem right, not enough time in the day!! Thanks for watching!!

[@tinabryant8207]

loved the video and the use of different materials. Can anyone please tell me what (Jesto/sp?) is?

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

gesso is a product used to prime your surface. Acrylic artists use it to prime their canvases so the paint will adhere better to it. But in mixed media, we also use it as a primer... not just on canvases, but journal pages and etc... it make the surface go from very porous to less porous so that your surface doesnt warp when using other water based products and also makes the surface more sturdy and gives it tooth or a gritty texture for when using pastels, pencils, etc, they will show up better because of the rougher surface gesso gives.

[@karenthompson3842]

thank you for the extra large craft mat link. Will hot glue damage it? Thank you. Karen

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Karen Thompson as far as i know, no it wont. Its heat resistant :)

[@karenthompson3842]

thanks so much

[@Anaswonderland3]

love the tutorial.. tfs xoxo Ana ( new subbie)

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Lace Boutique1 Thank you... welcome to our crafty family!!

[@jeannieferdinande5805]

Calcium carbonate is baking soda? Right❄️

[@karenthompson3842]

Love your videos. Did you use mod or deco pauge?

[@karenthompson3842]

Love your videos. Did you use mod or deco podge? What are you using to get the green and pink color on the newspaper please? Your video is fun and entertaining! Thanks for sharing all of your tips.

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Karen Thompson I use both however, i mostly use my own homemade decoupage glue which is just elmers glue and water :)

[@karenthompson3842]

thank you

[@trish3724]

I want to swap a journal, myself I have never swapped one,I don't have a you tube channel do you have to

[@pamobryan5608]

what does her so do and how to you make it?

[@SpankieMadison]

Love this... Question for you...Have you tried this ?? Soy Sauce Stain for antique look on paper ? I seen a tv show a while back and the ladies used Soy Sauce packets she got from a Chinese place and painted over vintage sewing patterns onto an old sewing table. The soy sauce gave it such an amazing antique color tone it was just so pretty looking. Not sure if you have tried this or not but if not it's worth a shot. She dumped it onto a pie tin and then used a brush to stain it onto the patterns. I might have to try it. I have tons of soy sauce packets. Just had forgotten about it until now :D

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Spankie Madison Oh that interesting... did she rinse it off or anything or just left it on full strength? Ill have to look into this! Thanks girl!

[@SpankieMadison]

+Pink Poodle Crafts I believe she diluted it some with water. Not sure if it was wiped off or not. She might have just painted it on and let it soak in. I have been trying to remember where I seen it from it was last summer. But was an interesting idea to make paper items look old and worn. I'll try and remember where I seen it and let you know if I can figure it out :)

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

yeah it sounds awesome... i bet we can look it up and find out how to apply it!

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

ok so from what i found online, you just dilute it in water and use it like you would coffee or tea, soak the paper in it and then either let it dry or use the oven for a more darker effect. :)

[@XOXSPANKYXOX]

+Pink Poodle Crafts - not bad at all then. From the looks that I have seen and the show I seen it on. The color is awesome on it.. Gonna start saving packages from the Chinese place now :P

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

Love the vintage style!! What type of desktop do you work on, the white one? Thanks!🌹

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+GodzHarleyGirl Studio I have a white craft mat that ive used duct tape around the edges to keep it down on my table. I dont know the brand of it but I wish I could find another one cause I love it and ive had this one for many many years and its really time for a new one. :)

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

+Pink Poodle Crafts Cool! If you tell me the name and info on it, I'll help ya find one if possible. 🌺

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

i dont know any info on it other than its a white non stick craft mat :( sorry I got it years and years ago. Ill see if I can find it too, and if so, Ill send you the link! :)

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

Here is a link to a white craft mat and it looks like it could be the same one.... I have a very large one like this which is a bit pricy but I feel its worth it to have a nice big work area but if you didnt want to spend so much there is a smaller one for much cheaper. blitsy.com/products/ken-oliver-extra-large-best-ever-craft-mat-360670

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

I will be buying this as soon as i can afford to because mine is like 10 years old and its not good anymore....its warped and stained, but i have to have white because of my videos, most things looks better on the white background. :)

[@twinels2]

do you have any of your clear gesso for sale?

[@lesliespeers2739]

Stacy, loved watching the process, can't wait to see the next video. Also do you belong to Junk Journal Junkies on FB? If not, i think it's something you might like, if you like making these types of books. TFS ~ leslie

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

+Leslie Speers I do and thats why I made this journal... to do the swap on there! LOL My name on FB is Stacy Evans :)

[@lesliespeers2739]

Ok cool! Will look for your posts. Also there's another group on FB called Trashy Junk Journals where they make books and such with nothing but junk/trash. The person that runs that group (Rosemary) is really cool and nice! Check it out. Hugs ~ L

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

[@cqangie29]

[@ilovetobemom]

Oh sorry, I was not clear, what is your table made of? it is white and I was not sure if it was glass, plastic, ....?

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]
