😂 have I said how much I love your videos!? That butterfly was awesome! And the page was so cool. I love how you always try something or use something that you've never tried or used before and it turns out gorgeous every time! Such a fun video and I'm definitely going to be trying something new. ❤💕
What an utterly beautiful page.... it's the colours I think. Fresh and gorgeous. So you're playing with pastels....I love it!! I use watercolour pencils a lot as they're quite easy to be accurate. Stunning 🥰 joie 🌿💜🍄
I really like the page, great that you always try to make new things, can really laugh when they don't work out en fix it to become beautiful. Thank you for making me laugh!!!!
Nothing wrong with trying new things, it’s not weird at all! It’s how we learn and grow and watching you is always a real fun treat. Beautiful piece Barbara xxx💕
I have got out of using my stamps so this inspires me to dig them out. My favourite thing on this page will make some laugh but I love those little drawn on wonky crosses. Lol. Small things. Nice video.
Wow, Congratulations to those lucky ladies. How did I miss this. I follow you all the time and I did not even see the giveaway. Watched everyone put their parts together and even watched you, Barbara when you opened each package. I must have crawled under a rock for about a week. LOL Anyway, I was inspired by everyone's talents in making their part of this collaboration. Maybe I won't miss the next one. LOL
I thought, too the number blocks are stamps, but I guess it was made for other collages like lost and found or so, you can use the 3, the 6 as nine, and the 9 as six. You can use them for Gelli printing on the plate and when you print then it will be on the right side. TFS this nice page.
For not really knowing what you were going to do, this page came out beautiful!!!!! I love the drip method too. What a beautiful watery background. Love the double use of the stencil too. Thank you for so much inspiration. I want to try it ALL!!!!!
A beautiful page! Love the butterfly! I've been known to find something I bought in the past but couldn't remember why I bought it -- so you are not alone! I love watching your videos. Hugs from Ireland.
You have had a ball with this one! So lovely to hear and see you work, the giggles and all the trying of new things. Thank you, again! It always inspires me, maybe not directly to do something like this, but I always have it somewhere in the back of my mind when I'm working on a new page. 😘😘😘 I feel I need to find those small ity bitty butterfly stamps I know I have lying around somewhere 😆 to stamp them on watercolor paper and see what comes next... Love, Maureen
You have the cutest personality! You make me laugh as well as teach me new things. Thanks! I have a silly question and forgive my ignorance, which language do you speak the most, German or English?
Aaaw, thank you Sandra! ☺️ it’s not a silly question. It’s actually hard to answer. I grew up speaking both since I was 6 and I think I might speak English more, although I speak German with my hubby and brothers. I never really thought about it 😃
BEAUTIFUL, as always!! I live in the same town as Tim Holtz, so if I happen to see him I'm gonna let him know your unhappy with his products! I'm going to give him your TH-cam info so hopefully he will get in touch with you! He's a super sweet guy and I'm sure he would be sad that you didn't get the very best quality product, especially since you have to go through SO much to get them all the way in Austria!! I just love everything you do and it's never weird! It's fun to watch you experiment and I get SO many great ideas from you! Thank you for all you do!!🤗🤗🤗
Aaaaw, thanks so much Julie! Wow, you live close to Tim Holtz! 😃 I love his products, as you might know I use a lot of them! 😂😂. But yes, I do expect a certain standard when I buy them! 😃
Fun! Judi kins is a vintage company that I miss! I love flipping my stamps around to see what else I could come up with. Plus, using your neo crayons was a great idea! I use dimensional magic on almost everything! Great for eyes, noses, etc. Hugs
This is definitely not wierd! This is a great tutorial as I have so much mixed media that I need to use it up before it dries up!!! It would be great to have some tutorials that use up some more mixed media!!!🤗🤗🤗😃😊😁
I felt some steam punk vibes from this one with the clip as the body of the butterfly! You got me laughing through this one. Thanks for taking us along your creative journey!
I love your design and your free-spirited chances to see what you can create. I absolutely 💯 Love it. You inspired me too. I am going to try your 🦋 butterfly .Thank you for sharing your art.
I have saved the baby wipes after it’s dry and made a copy of them and used it for fodder or after I painted with other things and they came out really cool… just a suggestion
You are so much fun! Yes, I also find things and wonder when I bought it and why. The page turned out beautiful and I wonder what on earth those Tim Holtz blocks are for if they're not for stamping. They're too chunky to go on anything - for me at least. It's a mystery.
Love the stamped butterfly and the way you used the Caran d’ache wax pastels😍😍😍 Ohhhhhh and I am with you about the Tim Holtz Ranger products. It is a big shame that some of the items are so poorly, the designs are super, but the fun in using them soon fades if they are not good quality.
The Tim Holtz number blocks are designed to be a 3D element, not flat, not with the number separated from the block, and not as a stamp. He does have some great large number stamps that you could use in a journal.
Idea for you: Stamp on plain vellum or acetate with permanent ink, color in. If you don't have Modeling paste. Add some baby powder to your gesso to make a paste. Would be cute to add a string to the bullet pin and make a fight path. Very beautiful
Barbara, that page turned out great. Love the colors of the butterfly. Another tip and you may already know, when stamping butterflies or any insect with antennas and legs, stamp the image on your page and then glue the cut out in top and the antenna is already there. I also love Tim Holtz products and am surprised at the way that was made. What else could those block numbers be used for? I would’ve assumed they were stamps as well. As always TFS! ❤️
Hi Barbra!! Your page turned out amazing as always! My understanding of the Tim Holtz number blocks is that they are for display. Like maybe on a shelf or shadow box etc.
I am pretty sure the numbers are made to be used in 3D mixed media projects. By adding the ink and such, you could be causing them to come unglued from the wooden base. I have never used them, but if you think a product is faulty, contact Tim Holtz on his website and I feel sure he will do something to correct the problem.
You might be able to put a piece of paper over the top of the number block and rub a crayon over the top of the paper to make an impression. That might look cool
I don't know if you are interested with this😄 but Carandache is pencil in my language which is write as "karandaş" and spell the same. Its combination of "kara" and "daş" and its mean black stone. I guess in history there was only black colour in their pencils.
Hi there, I'm loving watching your videos, you are so inventive and artistic. I found myself thinking, while you chatted about the wonky numbers and wondered if you could use them with a gelli plate so you'd get a mirror image. Just a wee thought. Tfs :0) x
I'm not sure if anyone ever mentioned it, but I bet those number blocks would be great with the gel plate. I'm imagining that if you stamp those blocks on the gel plate and transfer the print to paper, it'll come out right?
Barbara, I got a set of those Tim Holtz stamps also. And you’re right they are not stamps. I challenge you to do a video on how to use those. I have no idea what to do with them. Thanks
You still can order the butterfly stamp from Heindesign. About the number blocks, I just had to get these after watching the tag video and now I am waiting for the wooden alphabet blocks as well. I think they are designed to create 3D mixed media art. But I like the idea to use them as stamps. To improve the print you can add a cushioned layer under your paper like you might do with these wooden blockprint stamps you can buy for printing on fabric. As already someone mentioned these would be great to use with gelli printing, to stamp the backside of vellum paper or just as an unusual stamp to add texture rather then printing a „pretty“ number. I own a stamp set by Tim Holtz that is called Reflexions which has 3 different scripts all backwards and these would go well with the blocks.
The letter press blocks arrived today and the wood they are made off is better for stamping then the wood on the number blocks. I already stamped all over a big sheet of „sandwich paper“ ( Butterbrotpapier) and it looks great on both sides, either subtle but facing right or more colorful but with mirrow impressions.
🤷🤦28:22 " REALLY Tim Holtz REALLY??" 😂😂Freudian slip, each time you say "stamp" it sounds like you're saying "SCAM". idk, maybe you meant it? HAHAH lol Sounds like a rant I would have in my house, don't worry you're not alone, I feel your pain Barb.😄 lol
Those stamp blocks are probably cheaper versions of his wooden print blocks. They print backwards, too. It does look really cheap, which is disappointing for a Tim Holtz product. If you want to keep using them as stamps, perhaps you could gesso over the wood part, which would help ink stick better. Or even just sand the wood part so that it isn't shiny, which makes the ink bead up.
😂 have I said how much I love your videos!? That butterfly was awesome! And the page was so cool. I love how you always try something or use something that you've never tried or used before and it turns out gorgeous every time! Such a fun video and I'm definitely going to be trying something new. ❤💕
Thanks Paula! I love experimenting in my journal and I hope you have just as much fun! 😃
I love the colors of this page! The blues & turquoise really pop!
Thanks Amy! ❤️
What an utterly beautiful page.... it's the colours I think. Fresh and gorgeous. So you're playing with pastels....I love it!! I use watercolour pencils a lot as they're quite easy to be accurate. Stunning 🥰 joie 🌿💜🍄

Very beautiful layout 🥰
I enjoyed watching you create this page very much.
Really enjoying seeing this journal come together. These colours, especially next to the little bit of grunge, are so effective together. Gorgeous!😄
I've said it before, but you are truly the Queen of collage! Love the butterfly and the whole process.
Aaaaw, thank you Sandy! ☺️☺️☺️
This is definitely not wierd! This is a great tutorial as I have so much mixed media that I need to use it up before it dries up!!! It would be great to have some tutorials that use up some more mixed media!!!🤗🤗🤗😃😊😁

Thanks Jamie! So happy you are laughing with me! A touch of steampunk can never hurt! 😂
Love the way the butterfly turned out. You looked like you had so much fun with this spread!! Thanks

Thanks Margaret! I hope you are having as much fun with mixed media as I am! 🥰
Beautiful!!! Enjoy watching your process :)
Barbara, I absolutely love this spread! What a fun experiment!
Thanks so much! 😃❤️

49dragonflies Barbara you’re so welcome. Yes I agree they do seem large even for a 3D project. ❤️
Very fun!! Turned out beautiful TFS
Hi Barbra!! Your page turned out amazing as always! My understanding of the Tim Holtz number blocks is that they are for display. Like maybe on a shelf or shadow box etc.
Thanks Charlotte! Since when does Timmy create products just for looking at? 😂
49dragonflies I know sounds funny lol but I think for making your own display boxes
Very pretty!
NAILED IT 🤣
Beautiful. So glad you did not use the numbers 🤣. Was fun to see your thoughts process
Always amazing ways of doing things. ❤ Rhonda
Thanks Rhonda! 🥰

Thanks Kathleen! ❤️
💞 so beautiful! Love your arte 😘
Beautiful and fun!
You might be able to put a piece of paper over the top of the number block and rub a crayon over the top of the paper to make an impression. That might look cool
Thanks Sarah! I like your treat of thinking! 👍🏻😃
Exactly what I was thinking. Very good!
Love it.
Very nice page. Love it.
Oh wow, this turned out stunning x
Thanks so much Tina! 🥰

I actually thought the same thing about the tim holtz block stamp, lol, but he does have the large number stamps.
Very pretty and fun 🦋
I'm not sure if anyone ever mentioned it, but I bet those number blocks would be great with the gel plate. I'm imagining that if you stamp those blocks on the gel plate and transfer the print to paper, it'll come out right?

Haha, I think I will keep using them as stamps, at least the numbers that work 😃
OH when you had the safety pin, you had a "ball" clip or what is that called, I'm looking for three days. Thx
They are called bulb pins, you can find them on Amazon too 😃
You still can order the butterfly stamp from Heindesign.

☺️🥰

Love this.
Black thread needed!
I love this, but did you forget to draw his little antennas?
I think so 🙈
The crosses made it look like a grave yard
Hi Barbara, this video seemed to be a 'weird' one (you said weird) but the result is absolutely fantastic❣
did you do your thumbnail with like 4 different circles?
Just one circle…
Those stamp blocks are probably cheaper versions of his wooden print blocks. They print backwards, too. It does look really cheap, which is disappointing for a Tim Holtz product. If you want to keep using them as stamps, perhaps you could gesso over the wood part, which would help ink stick better.

Wait!?! No gilding wax!?! 😂😂💕
I must have been delirious 😂😂😂

How many of those yellow stickers have I peeled off an Amazon box and thrown away, I don’t know what I was thinking. 😝
Me too!
🤩❤️😍
Oh gosh no! I look at something and say when and why?
I am sure we are all guilty of buying things and then forgetting why and the sit on the shelf drawing dust.
