You are the layering Queen! Your color choices for the different layers tie together so effortlessly. Then you add more than one dry embossed pattern and it all comes together like a symphony! I truly enjoyed seeing your finished products because, honestly. I thought what was being demonstrated was a big mess. instead it was harmonic in the end. Bravo, you!🐧💙
I love your comments about not doing a complete project, but then when you start showing it, you say, "I'll just go ahead and show you." Funny how you get so excited with trying new ways of doing the same thing. I'm trying to get motivated and you are helping me in so many ways. Thank you for spending time with all of us.
I have not seen the techniques you used, but I love them. I have been a plaster crafter for many years, so I have a galore of paint. Nice to have a new use for my many bottles. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this! I am rather new to scrapbooking and card making; I have been keeping my scraps and all for some reason - well, I don't like to waste actually! I was not sure what to make of them. It looked a bit like you were mucking about in the beginning, but in the end, wow!, the way you assembled your embellished and upgraded leftovers, the way you put everything together made sense.
I gotta tell you...my mother was AN AMAZING seamstress...she could ANYTHING and DID with her sewing machine...she LOVED fabric....and could never understand my LOVE OF PAPER...I'm like I just you...I just HAVE TO TOUCH IT....I can get SO LOST in my craft room on paper crafting. Love your video.😀
Too funny! Here you are giving us lessons. Then you say "look at that..." what's funny is you sound so amazed by what you did. So cute. Love it. You know what's it going to do. But it's always nice when it works better then expected. 👍❤
I loved watching you play, and your continual enthusiasm for the results you were getting! A great video and great fun. I’m a great recycler of anything and everything and hate to throw stuff away. If you use your die cut remains as stencils with paint or texture paste, eventually a plastic layer will build up which strengthens the paper and makes them into much more durable and useful stencils. Also, once the paint has built up sufficiently, they make fabulous collage pieces for layering (much as you’ve used them).
This video is so much FUN. So cool how you bring interest and texture to your cards. I loved the cards at the end of the video. So artsy! I like they way you talk--great presentation. Thank YOU!
Mind blown! Fantastic ideas and I could kick myself for throwing away all my negative pieces 😖 Oh well - I’ll just start saving them now. I love the idea of the paint chip behind the negative space 👍Genius! 👏👏👏
I use a dry clean eraser instead of a brayer or my hands. That way I do no worry for my brayer if it has paint or my hands not applying even pressure. If you have one of those stamp block that are big enough and you don't use it anymore you may take the stamp off and put a bit of fun foam and it works just the same. Stencil uses. Genius, thanks!!!!!
Just discovered you today. Loved this video, thank you. I have so much acrylic paint I once used in another project a couple years ago and no longer do that. I do make cards and now I know what to do with my acrylics. Just need a gel pad. Be well.
I enjoyed watching you have helped me think in many different ways about my scraps . I am fairly new to the scrapbooking but my mind took off when I was watching.
Great video!! Thank you... And yes, you can use that colorful baby wipe as part of a journaling page background. Check out Maremi’s Cafe TH-cam vid on such a project!! Yes we need to use what we have, and curtail running out to purchase the newest/latest fad or gadget on the market. 🙏🏾👌🏾🎈🎊
Wow! This is one of the most amazing paper card videos that I have ever seen!! Thank you for these great, wonderful ideas. Truthfully, I had a hard time picturing how to use your painted paper backgrounds, but when I saw your finished cards, I was in awe! I love your layering, and use of colors and textures. I am curious as to how the surface of the Gelle plate is different from a hard surface when using paint and a brayer? Why does the surface need to be soft to create these amazing backgrounds? How does it do it?
Pamela B thank you for your nice comments! And about the soft surface of the gel plate for impressions (vs. a hard surface)... truly I have no idea why it makes such a big difference. I actually thought the same thing myself a while back. I thought, “well, why couldn’t I just do this whole thing on a craft mat instead of a special gel surface?” And I tried it, and it just wasn’t the same. I wish I had a better answer. I wonder if it has to do with the type of porous surface rather than the type of impressions. Because when I tried it on a craft mat, everything dried so fast (even with an acrylic bending gel). So maybe the porosity has something to do with it? So fun to play with, regardless. Thanks again for the comments, and if I learn more, I’ll post another reply 😀
What great ideas! Have subscribed...loved seeing the texture paste used. CTMH has some in their current catty & l wasn't sure how it worked. Now will be able to use it! I even have that maple leaf stamp l can use as a template, LOL. Thanks for all this- such smart ideas! ~Ali (Nova Scotia, Canada)
Do you think it would be possible to spritz the jelly plate lightly with water, when you have acrylic or dye colors in a pattern on it like you did and get a beautiful watercolor effect. I enjoyed the video, would love more!!
Loved your video .... I had just cut some shapes from my very old old cricut and came upon your video ( how weird is that ) and am totally excited to try your ideas. You’re too adorable... I feel like I’m sitting across from you with a cup of joe like my daughter and I do when we’re crafting and experimenting and having those oooh aaah ...let’s try this and see what happens moments. TFS 🤗
Angelita Cisneros thanks for the wonderful positive feedback! This was one of the first videos I ever made, so you’re right... a lot of this is just sharing the process and sharing my experiences. Thanks again and so glad you were inspired! Let’s grab a cup of joe and make some art 😀!
Thanks for the compliment! I personally don't see faces, but I suppose it's like looking at clouds with someone. Someone might see faces, and another person might see something else. It's all how we appreciate and view art. And that's what makes art beautiful! Thanks for looking :)
Thanks for sharing this awesome video, i'm wondering just exactly how thick are your stencil papers you are using here, is it like card stock or a thin plastic sheeting?
Hi! The stencil papers are just regular #80 - #110 cardstock, just whatever I used on my scrapbook layout or card. I do have to be careful when using a die-cut scrap as a stencil... I can't just go over it the same way as I would my acrylic or plastic stencils, but it's still a nice way I get more use out of my scraps. Thanks for the comment!
Your cards are gorgeous! I love the altered art look of the designs. Your Gelli Plate tut is one of the more interesting that I've seen. How long has your large plate lasted? Have you been able to smooth out any nicks in it? Have you ever made your own plate?
Thank you for your kind words! My large Gelli Arts gel plate is still in great shape after 4 years (I got it from my family as a Christmas gift!). As far as the nicks, it really doesn't bother me a whole lot. It actually adds a little bit of interest in my designs. And as far as making my own plate... I have not tried doing that, but I have seen videos about it. Thanks again for the feedback! :)
OMG! Love that DCWV Black and White paper pad!! I can envision using my colored pencils and coloring in some of those flowers on your ‘busy’ patterned sheets, then cutting it down for cards or bookmarks. ;-)
Bunty Bunny unfortunately no... this was one of the first videos I ever made on my channel, and I wasn’t sure anyone would be interested in how I made things! Isn’t that funny! You can browse around on my blog, though. I have a few detailed posts about cards I made that don’t necessarily have a video tutorial to match: sandpaperroad.com/blog Thanks for the comment 😀
Hi, Janine. Here is the link to my basic cardmaking (very basic) measurements: Link to "Cardmaking Basics" Video by Sandpaper Road: th-cam.com/video/AGmDOfo5rOA/w-d-xo.html . As for the actual measurements for each layer of the cards I made in the video, I'm sorry, but I don't know the measurements exactly. I was making these cards "on the fly" in the video and not paying much attention to the measurements. This was one of the first videos I ever made, and I have learned a lot since then... especially that it's important to make note of measurements as I go and link to them later. So, my apologies if this isn't what you were looking for. But check out the Sandpaper Road blog for some more recent (and more organized) cardmaking tips and tricks. Thanks for the comment! :)
Awesome ways to use up ur remaining scraps tsmfs sweetie I did subbie hope to see you subbie back xoxoxox with lots of luv stay blessed now n always.😄 😊 😇 💖 💞 💓 💅 👍 💋.
Love your tutorials!! I am looking for ideas to make tags for my retail items and have so many ideas from your suggestions. Mahalo from mauifeatherlei.com
Your information and ideas were okay, but you needed to have your materials and thoughts more organized. It was obvious you had not tried some of these ideas before asking us to believe in your suggestions. Sorry, but your video could have been much shorter and your ideas more valid. It is just my opinion. I do appreciate ideas on how to utilize scraps left from other projects!
FollowMeMove here is what I do: 1/4 cup baby powder 1 Tablespoon white school glue 1 Tablespoon white acrylic paint (matte) a little water -blend all together and use the water to adjust to the consistency you like. Hope this helps!

This is the first time I’ve ever seen how to use the different elements. I’ve wondered how and now I can see the advantage. Thank you. Great video!

Wonderful! Glad you were inspired 🥰
Nice demos
You could also rip the paper up and blend it then make your own handmade papers with seeds in them even! I’ve done that with scraps
Thanks for the video love the ideas and your sense of humor
Inga Wooten thanks so much! 😀
Love the gelli plate ideas! Thanks!!
I bought some small punches and use this type of scraps for shaker bits.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of all these supplies. Glad you are feeling better.
Roberta Hicks thank you! 😊

That is so cool! I've never seen or heard of texture paste or the technique you're using. I want to give this a try!
Amanda Lee it’s fun to experiment! Have a great day crafting and trying new things! Thanks for the comment! 😀
So creative!
Looking forward to watch more projects!

Janice Axt good idea... I’ll give it a shot! Thanks 🙂
Very interesting, lots of ideas tfs
Thanks for this idea, i was wondering if i could use an acrylic paint of any crayons as the color for the paste instead of then distress pen.
Sure! Give it a try! Thanks for the comment 😊
Love the light blue distress oixid on the teal blue cardstock.
Pat Hobbs thanks so much! 😊

Love your ideas I have not long started crafting again your ideas gives me so much inspiration thank you for sharing
Susan Warren you’re very welcome! That’s what it’s all about! Have fun crafting! 😀
Your cards are amazing!
Could laminated paper be die cut and used as a more permanent stencil?? Just wondering. I've not tried this at all. Love it though
Give it a try! You might have some trouble cutting through the lamination, but it’s worth a try! 🙂

Wow, I just subbed. I loved your cards! They were just spectacular.
Cass Wms thanks so much! 😊
Awesome project ideas! Did you notice the 2 faces in your Rejoice card at around 38 min on the left side of the card....
Thanks for the compliment! I personally don't see faces, but I suppose it's like looking at clouds with someone. Someone might see faces, and another person might see something else. It's all how we appreciate and view art. And that's what makes art beautiful! Thanks for looking :)

Good ideas but too verbose.
How to make that paste yourself?

1/4 cup baby powder

1 Tablespoon white acrylic paint (matte)
a little water
-blend all together and use the water to adjust to the consistency you like. Hope this helps!
Sandpaper Road thanks, i will try that!
