Hahaha, Pam... thank you. You brought up a haha memory for me regarding markers. We, too, called them "Magic Markers". I was .... I think 8 or 9, and still tended to be a bit rough on stuff, inadvertently. I can't remember details, but this is pretty close to it: Me, playing with (narrow-tip) magic markers, gets angry cus yet ANOTHER tip has retreated into the marker and didn't want to "play fair". Older (by 3 years) brother who lost his patience fixing my markers exactly 1 marker ago: THEY'RE MAGIC MARKERS. YOU ARE KILLING THE MAGIC! Me, startled as he tells me that the "magic" of a marker is its ability to lay down color with a GENTLE touch on paper. No pressure needed. He then fixed the marker, said it was the last time and walked away. (Can't blame him, tbh). So, a rather stunned me sits there, magic markers around me, completely floored by the fact that this was possible. Tested it out. HOLY SMOKES. He was RIGHT! It WAS Magic! (Think on it... pens and pencils require a bit of pressure to transfer ink/graphite to paper. We expect it. Markers do NOT.) Btw, I never did that to a marker again, unless it was a crappy marker to begin with. Anyway... my brother's theory of why Markers are actually Magic Markers. And... even though I now know WHY it works, it's still magical to me =D
LOL!!! Thats hilarious!!! Hahaha!!! Your poor brother was over putting the magic back!! We used to call them magic markers too but for me, I thought there was actual magic in the marker and was pretty disappointed the first time I used them (about age 5ish maybe) and got nothing but ink hahaa
Magic Markers were invented in 1952. They were the inspiration for Sharpies. If I remember correctly, the magic part was you could still write with them when you wrote on a ceiling or wall orientation. The ink would stop flowing in pens when writing sideways. I couldn't find that on Google. Anyway, I think your brother was mostly correct! What a creative kid!
@Seameology ooooo, thank you for the added history on it! Yeah, that would, indeed, seem like magic - the ability to write upside down or on a wall... And some very, VERY wise and creative people immediately (or, well, soon enough lol) saw a million uses for this magic flowing "ink"... and i, for one, am thankful. Good grief, how boring life would have been before markers! Meh, we wouldn't have known and likely would have used whatever we could to be creative. It doesn't surprise me that they are the precursor to Sharpies. ❤️ my sharpies. ☺️ And yeah... bro could be pretty imaginative at times. The fact that he was (kind of) close is amazing... but the dude always was way smart. It's one of my favorite stories about my bro, and I still can't pick up any kind of marker without thinking of that day and smiling.
I love this video and I always laugh with you watching your video's. I especially identify with your talking and answering yourself but I talk to you when I watch your videos. You bring so much fun to them and no stress. Thank you Pam!
Thank you so much for showing me how to use the washi tape I have acquired over the last few years! I also see a use for all those corks I have saved after making a few cork boards! Putting my small stamps on the end of them.
Vertical strokes are the thicker lines in calligraphy. When I'm watching your videos, my daughter will laugh and say, "Wow, she's a lot." I have to agree but it's a fun chaos. I connect with your chaos, which is good and bad. :-) I lose my supplies all the time, even though I haven't moved.
At first I thought this is a stuffed ,,puppy,,. You sure can do with him what you like. Canada used to be my home a long time ago. N. B. I got so much ideas from you already, have to start soon with my two Junk Journal,s. .....after.....,. Greetings from Germany ♥️🙋
Fabulous too! Really like these ideas! I am collecting a lot of these ideas! I will be making simpler JJ’s with m granddaughters in the fall! This is performed that!
What cute envelopes and labels an borders, Oh my! I love all your fun ideas! Poor Sleepy Sunny! He really just wanted to nap today. 💖Love to all and Have a safe and happy 4th of July America 🇺🇸🎆🎇
@@deannagrooms1039 hello my sweet sweet friend I truly hope Ur well n safe , I love looking at Ur photo , Ur a natural op to me but realy happy we have connected xxx sp
Best way to describe your videos is DINNER AND A SHOW! I end up rewinding because I laugh through your directions. Also, I have one of those pencils but was afraid of making a mess. NOW let the wreckless abandon begin.
Good morning Pam! Got my coffee, my little dog in her bed under the table, and am crafting along! I love how these projects came out, I can't wait to try them on something!
Lovely, simple idea I would never have thought of! Already thinking how I will use. It is still difficult to remember to say just "markers" as I remember when they 1st came out...& for the time, they were magical. 😯😊
Such a lovely Saturday! I finally have a day off and I can spend it, dying/drying papers while listening/watching Pam on my tv 🥰 Easy makes with washi tape and stamps, and yet so pretty, too! 'Grunge look? gone! whoopti do!' Thx for my Saturday, Pam 🐾 Can't wait for next week's pupdate, with wake-up face, Sunshine! 😘 hello from Denmark 🌸 🌱
I've never really been big on stamping, but now I'm really wishing I had some ink & stamps! Especially Peg Stamps!) You always have the most Amazing Ideas! I just realized the only Washi-Tape I have is a tiny 3-pack I picked up at The Dollar Tree! Darn, I need some Washi too! Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to try something new! Of course I'm sure a similar technique/look could be achieved with supplies I already have. •BUT• It'd probably take me DAYS to FIND the stuff in my 'Never-Ending Crafty Storage Closet!' I'd be able to go to the craft store to buy supplies; Create a few Sets of Stationary; Wrap them up real pretty & mail them out for my RAK's this month~All in WAY LESS TIME than it'd take me to find the supplies I bought a while ago & never used! LOL! I need to find some of those cute little stamps you have! Awesome video as always!!! ~🙏💙🙏~
Hey Pam! I'm sure tens of ppl have answered you, as you were wondering if there was a rule for the fat strokes on the script lettering. I've no time going over all your comments, but I can tell you there's a rule of thumb to emphasise the down strokes aka the lines where the pen goes downwards when writing. Cuz with a quill pen you naturally push the pen more when going down, so it makes the stroke automatically fatter than the upper strokes. Summer greetings with hugs from Finland 😘
our little Sunny had a busy day lol - i love this idea Pam - how much fun would it be to make a stationery set for someone - i loved to collect them when i was younger - you know back in the day when we wrote letters lol - i look forward to creating some of these goodies - thank you and i hope you have a wonderful 4th of July - enjoy and be safe xx
Celebration!🎉🎉 I'm finally within one year of your videos! I can't let up now, though, because your new ones will push me back to 1yr out again! I can't wait to catch up, but what will I do then? Oh yeah! You have a podcast! 😂😂😂
Hi Pam! When you do the faux calligraphy you go back and thicken the down strokes on each letter. Honestly, you can do whatever you want but I know that's one "rule." Thanks for more inspiration!! Hi Sunny!!!! He's so cute! Thanks for sharing!!
Good morning Pam! Cool ideas. 👍 Ah yes… long sleeves in the craft room. I call mine ‘scoops’… paper bits, tiny scissors, paper clips, mini ink lids, charms, daubers… amazing what they can scoop up. 😆 Have a great rest of your weekend! 💕
Wonder if the metal clip is a name tag - perhaps meant to to go on a tie or a lapel? You know, name tags from the Mad Men era? Great clips for the spine, or inside of a mini-album that has enough room between the pages.
Thank you so much, Pam! As usual, you have given me more inspiration to do such fun ephemera in my journal. You mentioned you have video podcasts, how do we see those?
This is such a good idea. Thank you for sharing this. U are such a busy woman 👩 with all you do. Thank you for the freebie each month. Blessings lovely 😊 from Colleen NZ.
What a fabulous Idea. Love how you took the idea and ran with it. I don't really make junk journals (did make one from a 5x7 card and loved it) but I can use this idea on cards and scrapbook pages.💖
Hi Pam. I think I might still call them magic markers 😂 and I still think they are magical too! Love this idea.. actually all the ideas you shared. Thank you! I never thought of that envelope trick. That's kinda magical too.
Hahaha, Pam... thank you. You brought up a haha memory for me regarding markers.

I think there was a brand Magic Markets at one point.

Love this idea. I always forget I can pause your videos. It's like we're having conversation
Great idea for using up washi tape. Sonny is so darn cute, even with a grubby face, love him. Bless you all. 🥰😘😘
Yeah, with the Scrappy fabric. Cool 😎,. Thanks for sharing. Have a super fantastic weekend 💜 Sherry
Good morning Pam, Sunny and Holly 🌞🌻
Stationary and envelopes... Happy Mail Fun. Great gifts too. You're such an amazing inspiration!!! The 2ND dog card is definitely Sunny. 💓🐞💖

Great idea 😊 super cute 🥰 love them all 😍😍❤️❤️ TFS 😘😘😘😘 love Sunny 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Fantastic.! Who knew adding a border could be this fun and simple.
Super idea to jazz up simple envelopes. Nicely done.

I so enjoy the craft with me episodes. Thank you.
I had fun crafting with you today 🌷
Love this idea! Looking forward to playing!
I enjoy you and your projects so much!! Thank you!! I love Sonny!!
Loving the border idea but over the moon about making book plates with border 😀 😄
Easy ideas!!! Thank you, again!
Hi, for making the boarders of the little cards I found that a sea sponge works really well too!
@J Reeves Oh..sea sponges! Thanks!
Love this technique!😊
Some great stationary. Thanks for the idea 💡💡💡💡💡💡☺️
Great techniques and creative ideas.......😻
Thank you so much for showing me how to use the washi tape I have acquired over the last few years! I also see a use for all those corks I have saved after making a few cork boards! Putting my small stamps on the end of them.
I’m hooked, making these with lots of color combos and stamps ❤️
Love water-soluble graphite. I remember using it to freak out my art teacher in a drawing class. She hadn't seen them before, and wanted mine...😁😁
Nice way to use up our washi!
What an ingenious idea! I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Vertical strokes are the thicker lines in calligraphy.

“Yo”! LOL you’re so funny and creative!
Genius, love it, you go girl

Best way to describe your videos is DINNER AND A SHOW! I end up rewinding because I laugh through your directions. Also, I have one of those pencils but was afraid of making a mess. NOW let the wreckless abandon begin.

I like this idea and how many ways you can use it! TFS Pam!
Great fun as always! TY
Lovely, simple idea I would never have thought of! Already thinking how I will use. It is still difficult to remember to say just "markers" as I remember when they 1st came out...& for the time, they were magical. 😯😊
Pam you make my week thank you for the funtabulous ideas & giggles 😃 😍🦘
Such a lovely Saturday!
I finally have a day off and I can spend it, dying/drying papers while listening/watching Pam on my tv 🥰
Easy makes with washi tape and stamps, and yet so pretty, too!
'Grunge look? gone! whoopti do!'
Thx for my Saturday, Pam
🐾 Can't wait for next week's pupdate, with wake-up face, Sunshine! 😘
hello from Denmark 🌸 🌱
Love the days off spent with the papers! 💓
Did good, great idea's
funny about the "magic marker!" we called them that in the 70's in NYC.
Thanks bunches. I will be making some of these for embellishments. TFS
Great idea miss pam going to make these thank you hello holly and sunshine and leonardo and happy xoxo

I have ton of tall skinny scraps 🤔 Thanks for the inspirations💜
This a great idea!!! So easy and I bet it is relaxing to just stamp. I will definitely have to give this a try.
Did you give a try yet
These are so cute! Love the technique! Calligraphy is thick on the down strokes. This might help in your future lettering endeavors!
TFS Pam I think even I can do this!
fantastic video!!! love this idea.
Love this

Cool idea Thank you for sharing.. Maybe an plastic stencil or template could be made in the envelope size to replace the washy tape ??? 💕🙏🏼🌷
Son made a good m ode) for the cards!
Charming 💗
pam, do you need a special sharpener to sharpen the stabillo pencil? if so, can you leave a link to the sharpener you use?
your stripey washi tape reminds me of piano keys 🎹
Fab video again. Can you do something using only book pages and stamps maybe buttons as just starting out and thats what I have xxxx
Sometimes I just can't keep up with you. You're so prolific. 😘
Why can’t you keep up is something wrong 😑.
Hi Pam! When you do the faux calligraphy you go back and thicken the down strokes on each letter. Honestly, you can do whatever you want but I know that's one "rule." Thanks for more inspiration!! Hi Sunny!!!! He's so cute! Thanks for sharing!!
Masking projects are one of my favorite techniques- I will definitely try these! Thanks Pam ❤️
What an easy but absolutely fabulous idea. So many ways to use this technique. Thank you Pam💕
Hello Pam & a very quick sighting of Sunshine, I just love this idea, so many possibilities going around in my head. Thank you so much.
Good Morning ☀️ Thanks for the inspiration! Can’t wait to try this-crafting in my pjs!

many times I put bit of stationary in my journals. usually about 3 to 5 envelopes and 6 to 10 papers.with stamps. as well as post cards
I just stamped a few of my long strips of scrap paper and they came out gorgeous. They will be nice to use in a collage.
Thank you so much, Pam! As usual, you have given me more inspiration to do such fun ephemera in my journal. You mentioned you have video podcasts, how do we see those?

Love the stationary ~ new gift idea. Perfect!
Fun idea ! I too grew up calling them magic markers 💕(I’m from Windsor,Ontario) Happy Saturday 😊
Pam, you are hilarious. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you
We're just hanging out ... yes, we are! 😎
Hi Pam. I think I might still call them magic markers 😂 and I still think they are magical too! Love this idea.. actually all the ideas you shared. Thank you! I never thought of that envelope trick. That's kinda magical too.
