Easy Painted Papers For Crafting

I recently had the urge to get up to my elbows in paint since it’s been such a long time. I decided to make some painted papers to use as journal pages and to tear up for collage fodder. These two videos show the processes I used to make a whole bunch of fun papers. The paper, tools and paints are all basic supplies that most crafters readily have on hand. No gelli plate was needed so no worries! 

This first video shows how I made the base layers of paints.

In this second video I demonstrate how to add fun details on top to make your painted papers extra special.

I hope these simple steps have inspired you to get out some paper, paints, pens and markers and have a good old time. Enjoy!

Happy Mail From Betsy Doodle!

I was blessed this week to receive a package of wonderful handmade items from Dee Webster, otherwise known as Betsy Doodle on YouTube. Dee generously gave away a few extra prizes after her “hand of friendship and card for Mr. Doodle” challenge. I am so thrilled I won because she is such a talented lady. Here are the items I received all the way from Lincolnshire, England.

Look at this pile of art supply goodness!

Here are some wonderful napkins to decoupage with. Being that I am originally from England myself, I’m partial to the Union Jack napkin!

Dee’s hand-made painty papers are to die for. I will share the projects I use these in if I decide to take them out of the hoard vault!!!

A large and small pocket folder, ATC, tickets and some marbled papers. I’m swooning. 

I just love this prize and promise to use the items after I’ve enjoyed just looking at them long enough. If you’ve never watched Dee’s YouTube channel, do yourself a favor and check it out. I guarantee that after watching a video or two you’ll be hooked like I was.

Thank you again Dee for such a lovely surprise and thank you all for letting me gush about it!
