What a great job you did in this demo. Thank you so very much!!! I am 76 yrs old and started doing decoupage about 6 months ago. This has been a tremendous help to try something new in my journey!! Big cyber hug to you!!

[@BRebornArtHealing]

You are so welcome! Thank you Kathy ❤️

Hello Cara Renee’ so happy to see you today. I love printing on these items also fabrics and tracing paper. I use a cheep glue stick spread lightly, and it peals off once I take it out of the printer with little residue. I use the same “sticky” paper for several sheets of the tissue paper and fabric. I also found “linen” for ink jets on Amazon to print on which is so exciting. I love the way the rice paper looks in journals as a page. Although not completely transparent it still looks fabulous on the other side. And yes, agree, I find rice paper such a gorgeous affect when using for decoupage and on the mixed media I’ve tried. When I use fabric I typically use a medium weight cotton. Thank you for sharing. I’ve got to search for the rice paper for inkjet. Your videos are so amazingly organized and helpful. I’ve got much to learn. Many blessings. 💜

Thank you Cheryl 💛

I will definitely give these a try. I think you rocked this tutorial. If you hadn’t of disclosed it was your first time, I don’t believe anyone would have guessed it. Thanks for giving us some awesome tips and ideas. Hugs from KY

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Your are so sweet! It definitely stretched me 💛

[@Jenifer.flute20]

I’m so glad I found this video before I went and bought a bunch of napkins and printed tissue. It’s not that they’re expensive necessarily, but I just don’t need packs and packs of napkins hanging around ya know.

[@Jenifer.flute20]

I bought a pack plain clear vellum too a few months ago and I want to try printing on it

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Yay!!! So glad you stopped by 💛

[@happymailmagic]

Thank You for sharing this; As I had no idea that you could even print on these different surfaces!

[@HelenJeanneHandmade]

Thank you so much for sharing! I will definitely be trying this in the future. I love the HP Ink program!

[@lorettathanksjesus]

Thank you for this tutorial. I watched 3 other videos, but this is the only one that had all the info I needed. Looking forward to using these techniques for wrapping our Christmas presents ... 👍

[@BRebornArtHealing]

That's awesome ❤️

[@christelvaneyssen7548]

How fabby I love printing on vellum and tissue but never tried rice paper will have a go. Thank you for sharing x

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Sweet 🙂 thank you for watching and commenting!

[@susanhamilton8370]

This is a perfect tutorial to keep & refer to, and very enjoyable to watch, thank you. Having this comparison between 3 different papers on one video is invaluable. The tissue paper looks like the fussiest paper to print on but the lovely transparent results are gorgeous & perfect for what I want to do with them. I do hope my printer behaves as it would save a bundle on the cost of buying pre-printed papers compared to printer ink.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I am happy that you found it helpful ❤️

[@torageirs6473]

I lovet this, I have printed on envelope and then I used Freezer Paper on the back. It turned out awesome. I will have to give this a try TFS

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Glad it was helpful! I love printing on rice paper. I have a big pad and forget to use it though 😊

[@cheryltoler321]

Thank you for showing how to do this, Cara. I've often wondered how this was done, as my printer doesn't like to print on thin paper. I have some vellum I'm going to give this a try on.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

They tissue paper one I put on heavier paper. I use 65 lb paper for most things. I wonder if you'd get different results 🙂

[@pawspaper7878]

This was great. I attempted to print on vellum once and my printer did not like it so now I have new method to try. I will have to be brave and then try tissue paper because it looks so pretty!

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I hope it works for you. When I first trued it couple years ago, it didn't work without the paper behind ut 🙂

[@debraslate]

thank you. i have been tryiing to print on tissue paper with out success. i was trying to put tissue paper on top of copy paper putting copy paper over tissue paper was so easy again thanks.

[@mariarapp3090]

I’ve never heard of printing on tissue paper! It actually worked for me better than vellumI can’t get vellum to print without major smearing. I finally bought some pre-printed vellum to use until I get the motivation to try it again. But the tissue paper turned out great! Thank you!

[@BRebornArtHealing]

What kind of printer do you have? I have N HP inkjet and my vellum doesn't smear...curious

[@mariarapp3090]

@@BRebornArtHealing I have an Epson ET-2760. I can’t find what settings to use. Photo on glossy? On semi-glossy? Regular setting, not photo? Regular quality or best quality?

@@BRebornArtHealing I’ll try heavier paper. I have been using regular copy paper to attach the vellum to. I saw that you are using heavier. Maybe that will help.

Awesome Jenn! So glad you found it helpful 😊 welcome to the channel 💛

[@miizack9762]

Thank you for the tutorial! I will have to get rice paper. I use a rotary cutter to cut my tissue paper. I run a thin line of art glitter glue on the top and sometimes the bottom edge of my copy paper. It holds tissue paper well and I don't lose any parts of my image.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Great idea! Thank you 💛

[@MissMolly3377]

I thought it was a great tutorial...your camera and editing was fantastic. Thanks again.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Thank you so much for the feedback 🙂

[@memoryjournalsbyyvon]

The did an awesome job with this video, thanks so much for this. Double sided tape would work also instead of glue runner. 😍

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I hadn't thought of double sided tape. That would eliminate glue residue 🙂 thank you!

Great information. I like that there are occasional hiccups as when I get them in practice I won’t think it’s because it’s not for me. Thank you for sharing.

[@amydeleon3387]

Great demo - TY! I too, have had success printing on vellum, rice, & tissue paper - but I have an Epson am am not happy with the color output (even after cleaning the print heads many times). How do you seal your ink to keep it from running/smearing on your projects? I use Mod Podge Ultra spray - it's non-aerosol & easy & convenient.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I have never had trouble when printing on vellum or rice paper. I have an inkjet. I have had trouble with regular paper from time to time, smearing. I try to zap those papers with my heat tool before using. I love the idea of a spray mod podge 💛

[@vintagetochic]

Did you attach to regular paper or card stock

[@amydeleon3387]

I just sent the rice paper and vellum through the printer as i would any paper (attached to nothing) - I did attach the tissue paper to a regular sheet of copy paper with matte scotch tape. @@vintagetochic

[@cyndesr848]

When cutting on guillotine if you put tissue or rice paper side UP the cutter will do a cleaner cut for you. Just a tip I saw on another site

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Sweet! Thank you 🙂

[@MissMolly3377]

Do they make a rice paper that is the 8.5 x 11? Or do you have a brand you prefer? Thank you for making this video. It is awesome. I have a really cheap printer, so I am not sure if it will work, but I am going to try.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

You are so welcome. I am glad you.enjoyed it 💛 This is what I use. I have searched before to find 8.5 x 11 but couldn't find any. It is not too hard to cut down.

Thank you Lorna 💛

[@UandMeGod]

I love this video. Thank you! I don't see the rice paper listed under your video?? I will look on Amazon where you said you purchased it and see if I can find it. If you see this comment can you help me out and share what the brand name is of that rice paper? And where do you buy the tissue paper? Is it sold in 8.5"x11" sizes? Thanks again!!!!

[@BRebornArtHealing]

The links for the supplies are on my blog. The link is in the video description box. I just use the kind of tissue we use to wrap things. Nothing special.

[@Jenifer.flute20]

Blowing my mind lol

[@BRebornArtHealing]

We’re you able to try it? 😊

[@erinkaven6533]

Question. How do you stabilize the ink with the rice paper and tissue so it doesn’t run when adding medium such as decoupage?

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I just zap it with my heat tool. I tend to use those things for layering in mixed media so I don't really notice any bleed.

[@CheriBomzArt]

Like using light coat of spray adhesive. Repositionable. Then can be separated & stored in clear file folder.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Awesome idea!!! Thank you. I have some but hadn't thought of that! I sure love community 🙂

[@lonnawatkins7129]

Thanks for this video. It does help to see it in action. I think you mentioned that you used copy paper, but it looks and sounds like card stock. Am I correct?

[@BRebornArtHealing]

You're so welcome 😊 It was quite some time ago. It might have been 65lb copy paper but that would have been the heaviest.

[@suesettera3453]

Hi. Are you using cardstock or copy paper? I know you said copy paper but it looks and sounds like card stock so just want to double check. Thanks! Awesome technique and I want to try it.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I am glueing to 65lb copy paper 🙂 it is the paper weight that I print on. I don't think it needs to be that heavy though.

[@suesettera3453]

Thank you so much! My copy paper is 20lb paper so that's why I was confused as mine was a lot more flimsy than yours. That explains it and thanks for the quick reply! i love your demonstration

@ Cara Renee Hi I am a new subscriber. Loved this tutorial. I wanted to ask does the printed image on the transfer paper smear when applying mod podge to adhere the image to a project? Please advise. Thank you again

Did you mean the transfer onto tissue paper? Or something else? I don't have any trouble using wet medium on top of any of the papers I did in this video. I have an inkjet printer though 💛 I hope that helps. Welcome to the channel 💛

[@hopewilkes74]

Hmm. Interesting and thanks for showing us how to do this cool printing. But when you said on the rice paper it didn't matter which side you put in your printer, I thought it did cause you glued it to a sheet of copy paper. Right? Confused

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I am able to put my rice paper right in my printer 🙂 don't have to glue or tape it. Just ensure you have copy paper behind it if your printer is a top load like mine. I have never noticed a difference between them sides of the rice paper and haven't paid attention to which side I am printing on. The vellum also doesn't have to be taped on. Just feed it in with several papers behind it. This is my experience on my printer though 💛 hope that helps.

[@friedastewart1105]

Rice paper has a shiny side and a matte side and tissue paper does too. Which side of these papers do you print on?

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Looks like it was the shiny side 🙂

[@vintagetochic]

Did you glue it to reg paper or card stock

[@BRebornArtHealing]

Regular 20lb copy paper for the tissue paper printing.

[@lisablack2567]

Do you have issues with ink smearing when applying mod podge, or do you not do decoupage?

[@BRebornArtHealing]

If I decopauge with them, I zap my copies with my heat gun for a good bit, then no problem.

[@lisablack2567]

😮😮😮😮😮😮 Heat gun?! Seriously?!!! I've tried EVERYTHING else to very little avail, so if this works for me YOU ARE MY HERO!! So just zap it for a few seconds, or???? I'm trying this first thing in the morning!! SO EXCITED!
