This is great for a beginner like me and I agree and I am very thankful for you getting to the point right away. Because if it takes longer that 20 seconds to the point then I am out and move on to someone who does. This was was a great and very useful video. Thank you.
Some great tips but I would like to offer one. People who do junk journals might not stamp a lot and therefore don't know. Please don't rub your stamp across the ink pad. This causes ink to build up on the side of the design wall as it is scraped across. This can result in a blurred image. Instead, tap the stamp up and down on the pad, building a layer of ink, putting the ink on the top surface of the design, not the wall. This is especially important when you have a detailed design or a solid image. Press straight down on paper and press all around, don't rock the stamp. I hope this helps for those of you who wonder why your stamped images come out blurry.
That is good advice. But stamps are purchased, not "junk" or something you'd normally throw away. I think a true junk journal would be made of things you normally would throw out. So making marks with ribs on corrugated cardboard might qualify as a stamp. Made with old coffee or something maybe
Oh My Goodness……… Never in any tutorial I have watched have I seen sooooooooo many great AND usable tips and ideas. This is one tutorial I will revisit over and over again……… Appreciate that you have shared and so happy 🤗🤗🤗 to be a new subscriber to your channel 😊
No wonder this video has over 18k views, you can definitely tell you put a lot of work into making this video. So many helpful tips and tricks thank you so much for taking the time to put this together.
This has to be hands down the most effective compilation of tips for junk journal making. You have given me loads of new ideas and inspiration. Thanks a lot!🌿🥀🌿
I love all your tips, especially stamping on pattern paper and storing in a book. What a great way to stamp a ton of images and have them at the ready!
I like having all these tips in one video, even though I've seen them all in multiple places, it's nice to have them here for a quick review in one video. Thank you.
This absolutely the best junk journal I’ve seen especially being new to the scene. I learned more from you in this one video versus the countless others I’ve watched. I’m hooked on your channel now and looking forward to binge watching your videos. Thank you so very much for your time, patience and excellent explanation 😊
Just watching this video 5 months later....I am also new to this craft and agree I learned more from this video versus many others I've watched. I am subscribing and will be looking for more videos from Root Pursuit.
using an old book to ‘store’ stamped images as well as collages are great ways not to lose sight of pieces for later projects. by the way, the hand cream tip is perfect for a messy person like me!
Great tips. I particularly loved the 12 x 12 page clusters, flip glue pages, stamping on pattern paper(brilliant) and glueing them into a book page. Thank you so much. I subscribed and I’m off to watch more ❤️♥️
I have been junk journaling for ten years and definitely learned some new ideas here, thanks!!!! (Specifically: Faux stitches, crayon/coin wax seals, twelve quick clusters, post it note punch hack, curved book spine out of paper towel roll)
TFS Kelly- I learned several new things & love that it is so short! However I couldn’t figure out what to do to make the expanding spine, and I would really like to see how it is done! I like the idea of the curved spine- do you simply cut down the center and use the entire tube?
I'm just starting with JJ. Your tip about mass making tags or cards on a 12x12 paper and then cutting them out... I can't even express how much I love that idea. Thank you.
I’m sold on your channel after watching this ! . Hi from one of your newest subs. Its nice to have found you. I’ve learned more useful tips in this 11:25 min vid than I have in some of the other more popular channels combined! Lastly I don’t want to sound cranky but I’ll take a chance and say “Thanks for not having any of that repetitive music playing in the background.”
Love these tips, especially the corigated cardboard for lines, brilliant! Cool hand lotion tip and 12x12 mass cluster tip! I know this video required tons of editing so thanks for all the tips!
I loved the scrap book! If you would take the time to put those scraps in your scrap book as you were working on a project not only would you have a reminder of the project but you would have a lot of coordinating elements and perhaps you could even tear the page and use it in your project
Kelly, I love your tips! My favorites were putting on hand lotion before crafting, using pattern paper to stamp images, making a stamped images book later use, and gluing paper scraps into a book for later use. I would like to see more of the suggestion to expand a spine with fabric. I cannot visualize the finished journal. I think I will search for a video on this technique. It is an intriguing idea. Thanks for the tips! Esther
I LOVE that last idea. And I'd be careful with the hand lotion one because you don't want to leave prints of your own digits on your projects, but on the other hand.... that might add a cool touch to what you are making. 😊✌
I really enjoyed this video & you had some great tips especially for us beginners. I also really appreciated that you were brief & to the point, not a big long rambling intro, & you were prepared. You obviously put a lot of time & thought into your videos & I have subscribed so I can enjoy more of your ideas as I get into this craft! Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi from Rhodes Greece. I have just found your channel 😁. I've been junk journaling for 9 years. Some of these tricks I have forgotten and some are new. Thank you for sharing ,very nice video. Hugs and kisses from Greece
All great except a word of caution regarding using acetone based glues such as Fabri-tac in well ventilated room only. Advisable to wear gloves to avoid prolonged skin contact for some as well. Read safety warnings to protect precious health. I prefer to use non toxic wallpaper paste instead. No wrinkles even on the most delicate paper. Good luck!
Lots of great ideas here! And honestly, I'm sure MOST of us have old rubber stamps on hand. Even if not, IMO it's fine to use "junk" you BUY along with whatever found objects you have. It's ART people, there really are no rules.
Thank you for some great tips. Some I knew, but some I learned. Loved the sewing tissue idea and the expanded book idea. Than you❤️🕊💯🙏🏻✨👼💕💐 newly subscribed 🤭🥰
THANKKKK YOUUU SO MUCHHH! This will be my first time making a junk journal and your video is very helpful. So far, this is the only video I've watched where every (as in every single tip) is easy and doable.
Hi~My daughter is toying with starting this craft. So I'm copying this list for her. Did you know that #12 is known as a "Larks Head knot"? I guess the old saying is true, "You're never too old to learn", and I've learned a few great tips from you today. Thanks!
Great video!!! All the tips in one place, finally lol. I have a tip that I can't remember where I saw, but have never seen since. And can't believe that bcuz it's genius. If you stamp regular tissue paper (with archival ink), tear it out and Mod Podge it to your page, the tissue paper will disappear upon drying and all that's left is the image. It'll make you look like a maestro!!! This also works if you draw the image yourself as long as you use waterproof pens like Sakura Microns.
My favorites Corrugated cardboard for lines Decorative Paper book focal point 12x12 quick clusters Striped paper picket fence Postit to hold small pieces to punch Book to glue on to later use Lace extensions to spine Sewing pattern paper to stamp on save in book Thanks for the reminders and sharing
Wow some great tips. I especially liked the doily one. Thank you so much for some great ideas. I just stumbled upon your video and im new to all of this junk journaling/scrapbooking so you have a new subscriber 😊
Thank you so much! I was about to give up on junk journaling because my first few designs don’t look great and I can’t buy expensive supplies right now. These tips will help me make my DIY attempts at ephemera, tags, page design look better👍❤️
I nearly didn't watch this,I thought that it would be the usual half an hour of waffling before you showed us anything.How wrong I was! I enjoyed this and learned some great tips.Thank you I'm a new subbie.
Loved it, really really awesome tips, my brain was on high alert.. so I saved the video to rewatch and get all those great tips locked in!! Thank you so much, that was amazing!!
Some great tips, I tried to junk journal,but didn't get far (now I know why) I didn't know about a lot of these tips It must be all about preperation.😊
Great tips for anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, you can spay gillter paints onto newspaper, with or with out a cheescloth or whatever stencil, and then rip the paper in pieces for later use.
The best video on tips I have seen. Plus, it is appreciated that there was not a long preamble before hand. Right to the point. -
Thanks for watching! 🍓🐇🍓

Absolutely! She got right in there and didn’t mess around. I feel like it included something for everyone.
Well done.
And superfast 👏👏👏👏👏
Definitely no long preamble - thank goodness.

I hope this helps for those of you who wonder why your stamped images come out blurry.
That’s good advice! I never learned proper techniques, so I am sure that is happening to my ink pads. Thanks for the suggestions!
Yes, glad to hear that, bit of a hit n miss with me!!! then ohhh!!
That is good advice. But stamps are purchased, not "junk" or something you'd normally throw away. I think a true junk journal would be made of things you normally would throw out. So making marks with ribs on corrugated cardboard might qualify as a stamp. Made with old coffee or something maybe
At some point we need to buy glue

The clusters on a 12x12 piece of paper is absolutely brilliant.

Great ideas!! I’ve never thought of the cardboard as a background stamp or the crayon and coin. You’ve saved me from buying the wax seals stamp set🥰🥰

All great except a word of caution regarding using acetone based glues such as Fabri-tac in well ventilated room only. Advisable to wear gloves to avoid prolonged skin contact for some as well. Read safety warnings to protect precious health.
I prefer to use non toxic wallpaper paste instead. No wrinkles even on the most delicate paper. Good luck!
