Craft Your Joy Technique Tutorial: Creating Patterned Paper with Stamps and Ink

Craft Your Joy Technique Tutorial: Creating Patterned Paper with Stamps and Ink

Hi Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by, I’m so grateful you’re here.

I thought it would be fun to launch a QUICK TIP video series focusing on simple techniques you can try for your cardmaking and papercrafting projects. This video is “in the moment,” on the fly. No editing. No voice over. No perfect lighting set up. Just me painting and sharing some of my favorite ways to create watercolor effects using dye-based inks to paint beautiful blooms. I’d love to know if you find this tutorial helpful and would like to see more “bite-sized” tips in the future. Comment and let me know how I can be helpful.

Today’s tutorial uses my new stamp set Hello Beautiful with Gina K Designs. In this video, I’m using stamps and ink to create patterned paper for a card base. Super simple technique that you can do to maximize your stamps and supplies.

My Craft Mat:

I get a lot of questions about the craft mat I use in my videos. It is a piece of poster board from WR Memory Keepers. They call is Designer Poster Board: Wood White. Manufactured by American Crafts. I had the poster board heavy duty laminated at my local Staples. GREAT for photos, video, craft mat usage. It wipes right off and is heat resistant.

You can find this poster board in many craft and hobby stores. Or you can shop via this affiliate link: https://amzn.to/2GKP3Qp

  1. Loved your video! I would very much appreciate it if you made a series of these short, quick tips. I would benefit greatly if you included some tips for actual watercoloring.

    1. Hi Arlene! Thank you for the kind words. I am working on a short tip video series that is just about watercolor. Stay tuned! Thanks for stopping by.
