i loved¡¡¡ aqui en mexico no tenemos tantos materiales pero estoy viendo como sustituirlos, me encantan tus videos me das tantas ideas creativas, un saludo desde mexico :)
@petitcita2 Permítanme compartir con ustedes algunos sustitutos de los materiales que se utilizan. En lugar de "Mod Podge" el uso de pegamento blanco normal con un poco de agua añadida. Usted puede hacer la tinta de pulverización se añaden algunas gotas de tinta concentrada en una botella de spray y la adición de agua. Mezclar un color que te guste y con el agua se convertirá en transparente. Aparte de estas dos cosas, sólo tiene que utilizar las cosas que ya tienes. Disfrute!
I just found your video, and it is so out of the box for me, but I can hardly wait to try it. I love your idea about using tissue paper from gifts. I feel like as a paper crafter, reusing, just makes me feel a little bit better. Thanks for taking the time to share this technique.
@dee6lite2 So glad you enjoyed it! I think it is fun to try something every once in a while that is outside our comfort zone...and I totally agree - I lOVE when I can reuse or repurpose materials...gives them a new life and keeps them from just becoming more waste! Enjoy...I know you will have a great time!
@CatsandJournals YEAH! Glad you had good results - it is a favorite technique of mine. I think you would be fine doing an image transfer as long as you sealed it with multi-medium - which you have probably done in the creation of the collage itself. Fun idea...got my creative brain kicked into high gear.
This is such a great technique. You created a beautiful background and made me feel like I could do it too :) Thank you so much. Happy new year to you!!!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos, this is my first peak at your videos on you tube. Would be nice if you could please share your website/blog link too :)
@rkramadh Yeah! I am so glad you liked it! It is one of my favorite "go to" techniques...and you really CAN do it! I do have a blog YouTube is weird about printing links - so if you add dot com on the end of this you should be able to get there... jannsstory.blogspot Would love for you to stop by!
@mermafly Thank you so much for stopping by and watching my video! Glad it gave you some inspiration for your own art...it is one of my favorite "go to" techniques and I am sure it will become one of yours too! Merry Christmas!
Thank you- I love it that you say you cant make a mistake...its that thought that holds me back when create...oh what if I ruin it...you made a great clear vid and I learnt alot form it ...gonna keep watching you.

@petrii1998 Absolutely Dawn....I would definitely use a coat of gesso on the canvas to begin...but it works very well on canvas. Hope you have some fun creative time! Blessings, Jann
@modernman5 Here are the products I used: Mod Podge (PVA glue works too), Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (which is a combination of dye ink, water and mica powder), Adirondak Acrylic Paint Dabbers. Hope that helps - let me know if I can be of any assistance or you have additional questions. Have a great week!
@WhatYouMakeIt1 I tried the PVA with water trick earlier and it seemed to work okay! It's quite annoying having to work to a theme, but I can't wait to start making things for family and friends :) I really think home-made gifts are so much better than shop-bought. The care that goes into them is just amazing!
@naah Yeah - I am so glad it worked! I agree...hand-made gifts are so much better. You will have a fantabulous time making them too! Let me know if you have any other questions!
@naah That is terrific! I love hearing that people get a bit of inspiration for their own artwork when they see one of my videos. I think Mod Podge is available in the UK - but I have also heard people say that they use PVA glue the same way as I use Mod Podge....and I do think that is pretty available throughout the UK and Europe. If it is too thick, you can slightly water it down a bit....but know that adding water will possibly cause your paper to crinkle a bit more. Hope that helps.
@homeschmomof4 Hey Jeanne...so glad you are finding some inspiration! I am sure that even as a "newbie" that you are having a wonderful time creating mixed media art....it is just so much fun! For me the key is to see it as PLAY...and to learn to be happy with the unexpected outcomes...those are sometimes the BEST!
@WhatYouMakeIt1 Thanks Jann for the encouragement. You videos have really opened up a lot of fun techniques to try. Just got a hold of some wallpaper from my friend/neighbor just yesterday! I am planning to play a lot more with the summer coming on and almost done with homeschooling till Sept.! ;-)
@homeschmomof4 I think my wallpaper stash is one of my FAVORITE supplies....since I can slop paint all over it and not feel like I am risking MESSING up a canvas! Discovering it is what allowed me to move from being tentative with my creativity - to being abandoned....and I MUCH prefer creating with abandon! I know that homeschooling can really require a LOT of time, energy and creativity too...know you will be glad to have a bit of a break over the summer. Can't wait to see what you create!
love this...thank you so much! this is sooo like what i do. i LOVE pattern paper (have probably a hundred). I found vintage vogue patterns. I even use them on cards. Makes them look very french. ;) then sewing on it even takes it to that next level. I wish I would've taken pics of the journals that I have made. Thanks for this... amazing! Gave me even more ideas to try and incorporate into my process. ;)
@babyblueagle1 Oh I wish you HAD taken pictures - I would have loved to have seen your journals - they sound fantabulous! Thanks so much for your encouragement - I greatly appreciate it.
@Dare2bme71 So glad it was helpful. I think the key is to try and "play" like a 5 year old...who thinks everything they do is refrigerator worthy! Enjoy!
this is such a cool way to make a cover or a hanging. i love it espically since there is little planing (tearing paper & such). i am not a perfect scrapper, so this is great & i have all the stuff to do it with. thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge gave it a go on a small board last night using blues and printed text, alright for a first go although do need to add some flourishes and gold so maybe will look better.
@teakaz123 I would love to see what you came up with - it is such a fun (easy) way to get fabulous results that are different every time! Glad you gave it a go!
@mssuedancer100 I think that folks in the UK call it PVA glue, It is really just a watered down glue that has a little bit more "open" time than thicker white clear drying glue. Mod Podge comes in lots of variations...shiny, matte, for paper, glow in the dark etc. you could also use gel medium as a good substitute. Hope this helps.
@aquaprin They are called Tattered Angle Glimmer Mists. I got mine on Bluemoon Scrapbooking....there is a link to the store on my blog...jannstory.blogspot.com
Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou .... I told my sister her Christmas present was on I.O.U because i hadn't finished it, when in actual fact i hadn't started it ..SHHHH !!!. I absolutely adore this medium and you have given me the inspiration i needed to make her something WONDERFUL !!!!
Your videos and tutorials are fantastic ...HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011
@janicescherer So glad you enjoyed it....and I am glad to share what I am doing -- cause I love being inspired by all the other artists here too! Appreciate you stopping by!
Thank you for your most excellent video demonstrating how you create your mixed media collage book covers. You made it look soooo easy:-) Your selection of the various images were seamlessly well-placed to create a lovely cohesive visually piece of art. I look forward to more of your teaching videos. Also, thank you for reminding us that in mixed media there are “no mistakes"-many times these serendipitous “mistakes” occur to teach us a new artistic lesson/direction.
@Choyce2010 Thank you so much! I really want people to see that the basic techniques are SUPER easy -- and that they can just relax and PLAY -- it is NEVER going to turn out how you pictured it in your mind...but it might just be BETTER! I really appreciate your encouragement!
i really enjoyed your video. the book covers are really cool and unique. my question is how do you assemble the complete book. how does the cover connect to the pages that then connect to the back cover. it would be great if you could do a video on that. 'how to make a hardback art journal.'
@Trags21 Absolutely! I use this technique on wood ALL the time. I would prime the wood with some gesso - just to save you from all your paint, mod podge or whatever medium from overly soaking into the wood. Have fun -- would love to see what you end up with!
This is great! Never used ModgePodge before, but I always wondered how to get textures like that. Can you paint over it to get that same effect, as opposed to spraying the glimmer mist?
@suicideskwid You really can't paint over it and get the SAME effect...because -- the spraying is done while the mod podge is WET...and it is the mixing of the two wet mediums that make it translucent. You could wait until the mod podge is dry and then really water down some paint (or dilute it with glazing medium) and paint it with that and get a similar look.... But you don't have to use glimmer mist -- any liquid ink diluted with water and sprayed over the wet MP will give a cool result
@WhatYouMakeIt1 I ended up putting the MP on hold and opted for molding paste to build texture. I used two spray bottles on the wet paste, one w coffee, one w ink wash. I was rather pleased w the results. Sorta had this rock-like, fossil-esque look to it. Thanks for your advice!
This is great!! I'm responding under my husbands name I'm sure he will love that.. Going to try it right now.. going to look at the rest of your videos over the next little while.. thank you
@julzabro Oh wow...thank you so much! I really appreciate it -- Hope you will use this technique in your own art...I know you will create something FABULOUS!
This is so great! I love collages. I want to start this technique. Tomorrow will run to the shop to buy all the necessary tools. Thanks for giving so much interesting details how to make the work more attractive!!
thank you, love this video. I have been looking at tons but none like this. I am looking for something to cover a notebook and or book, will this work on the spine? WIll it be flexible enough? thank you
@zendoodles You might want to check out my video called "Painting and Collage Tutorial" -- it has another technique that results in a more flexible material that would be great for creating your spine. It shows how to use a scrap piece of wallpaper -- the technique would also work with a piece of fairly thick material too (like duck or twill). Hope this helps!
@sharoncaillier Thank you so much...I am hoping to have some new things to share soon. My internet was knocked out with all the flooding -- so I am only able to upload from my phone....but I am working on some new things -- and when I get the internet back at home -- I will have several things to share...so WATCH OUT! LOL
Hi Jann! Loved this video!! I have seen the finished product of something like this and could understand how it was made but it was fascinating to see you do it! Is your brown craft sheet by Ranger? How big do you think it is? I saw these pink craft sheets that I loved that were very expensive at CHA but they seemed flimsy in person. Is your kind of flimsy? Does it just wipe right off? (20 questions, LOL)
@MsTClaiborne I LOvE my craft sheet! It is from Ranger and is about 18" x 24". It is really thin and NOTHING sticks to it. It is also heat resistant so I can emboss or use my glue gun on it and just is the easiest thing to clean up. The only thing you can't do on it is cut with your craft knife. You should watch the Flowerstoflourishes. Com website as they sell them for less than $10. They just have one deal a day so you have to check every day.
Thanks for stopping by! I typically use the original Matte version...although I own a couple of the others, I just come back to the basic. There is a SHIMMER version that is nice to mix a bit of acrylic paint into....but I really can do that by spraying it with some glimmer mist -- or dusting perfect pearls on it later. I do prefer the Matte to the GLOSS -- but that is just personal preference.
Jan, that must be the term for when I craft---collage, because I never plan anything out! That is the best way to do crafts for me...Thanks for your inspiration!! Carlene aka PinkScrapper99
@pinkscrapper99 Hey Carlene...I love the process of "just creating" - not having a set plan...I love the surprise of the process....I so enjoy watching what you come up with!
Beautiful work! I am always looking for new ideas and will definitely try this! You had mentioned that you coated the board with something first and I can't make the name out from the video. Could you please tell me the name of the product. Thanks!
@scrapmom65 Thanks so much for stopping by. When I have raw chipboard that I am going to be working with -- or something that is a slick surface -- I paint on a coat of GESSO....just to give it a bit of "tooth" and to keep the surface even for applying the collage. There are lots of brands -- I have used just about all of them and can't tell them apart really...
Stephanie....watch just enough to give yourself some confidence...but then attack it like a 4 year old would a blank canvas....no fear of messing it up....just the joy of putting new things down and creating something beautiful@! Please let me know how it goes!
You just never know how it will turn out -- for me that is part of the fun! Thanks so much for stopping by and your kind words....they mean a lot to me!
Evelyn...your message just made me so happy! Last fall I was in a bit of a creative funk....and I took a class that sparked my creativity again...so this feels a bit like a"pay it forward" opportunity. Would love to see some of what you come up with...most of all HAVE FUN!
This is so helpful! I've been saving my tissue paper but didn't know what for....just figured it was good for something.....someday!!!! Thanks for doing this!!!! I love inprecise techniques.....this is great and yours turned out sooo pretty!
Hey Kathy -- thanks for stopping by....I love the "surprise" you get at the end of this technique....and while it is never something I planned...I am almost always delighted with the results. Let me know how yours goes!
You are so sweet! Thank you for your encouragement. I enjoyed reading your profile -- it sounds like we have a lot of things in common! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by! You are super creative -- loved watching your "masking technique" video...can't wait to see what you do with this....so many possibilities!
love it, Jann, I even liked it before you misted and stamped. Why didn't you post this Wednesday!?? I tossed some long-saved tissue paper on Thursday. What is that woman stamp, I like it.
Hey Roxy! I liked it too without the misting....I went ahead with that step primarily to show how I got the results on the book cover that I sent to Karen....but you are so right -- it can look totally cool without it.
And you have just articulated why I have WAY more "stuff" in my studio than it can comfortably hold! The MINUTE I decide I can actually part with something is when I discover a CREATIVE way to use it! Sorry to do that to you.
OMGosh...today, I used my never opened Mod Podge for the first time! I loved it! Thanks for this tutorial and for being such an inspiration!!! Hugs, Rita
I am always looking for ways to use stuff that I already have....if it isn't nailed down in my house...it is fair game! Thank you for your encouragement...I am super glad that this inspired you! Please share what you come up with!
Wanda...thank you so much for your encouragement! I was a little nervous doing this one...not sure if folks would like just "watching the process" -- but I couldn't figure out a way to do it in 10 minutes (collage isn't difficult but it does take a bit of time). I am thinking about doing another one to show how I create journal (or mini book) covers with paint, collage and stamping....what do you think about that?
Thanks Regina! I think collaging is a great way to "break out" of a creative block...just feels like {play} -- which all art should feel like anyway! Appreciate you stopping by!
I did show one book cover that I used this collage technique on -- it was for a travel journal, But the others were just chipboard that I used to create a cover for a mini-album. THe finished project from today's tutorial is going to be a mini-album cover for a girlfriend of mine.

suicideskwid 1 year ago
@suicideskwid You really can't paint over it and get the SAME effect...because -- the spraying is done while the mod podge is WET...and it is the mixing of the two wet mediums that make it translucent. You could wait until the mod podge is dry and then really water down some paint (or dilute it with glazing medium) and paint it with that and get a similar look.... But you don't have to use glimmer mist -- any liquid ink diluted with water and sprayed over the wet MP will give a cool result

@WhatYouMakeIt1 Thanks a bunch! Yeah, that makes sense. I just bought an empty spray bottle. Gonna see what happens when I spray coffee :)
suicideskwid 1 year ago
@suicideskwid Oh I would love to hear what your results are with the coffee!
WhatYouMakeIt1 1 year ago
@WhatYouMakeIt1 I ended up putting the MP on hold and opted for molding paste to build texture. I used two spray bottles on the wet paste, one w coffee, one w ink wash. I was rather pleased w the results. Sorta had this rock-like, fossil-esque look to it. Thanks for your advice!

great video... remember it's MOD Podge and also its pronounced that way... (not "modge"). but most importantly, have fun with it.

thank you, love this video. I have been looking at tons but none like this. I am looking for something to cover a notebook and or book, will this work on the spine? WIll it be flexible enough? thank you
zendoodles 1 year ago
@zendoodles You might want to check out my video called "Painting and Collage Tutorial" -- it has another technique that results in a more flexible material that would be great for creating your spine. It shows how to use a scrap piece of wallpaper -- the technique would also work with a piece of fairly thick material too (like duck or twill). Hope this helps!

Hi Jann! Loved this video!! I have seen the finished product of something like this and could understand how it was made but it was fascinating to see you do it! Is your brown craft sheet by Ranger? How big do you think it is? I saw these pink craft sheets that I loved that were very expensive at CHA but they seemed flimsy in person. Is your kind of flimsy? Does it just wipe right off? (20 questions, LOL)
MsTClaiborne 1 year ago
@MsTClaiborne I LOvE my craft sheet! It is from Ranger and is about 18" x 24". It is really thin and NOTHING sticks to it. It is also heat resistant so I can emboss or use my glue gun on it and just is the easiest thing to clean up. The only thing you can't do on it is cut with your craft knife. You should watch the Flowerstoflourishes. Com website as they sell them for less than $10. They just have one deal a day so you have to check every day.

Great video! What type of modpodge do you use? ( There seem to be many types available.) I'd love to see a tutorial on bindings.....please :~)

@9doves
Thanks for stopping by! I typically use the original Matte version...although I own a couple of the others, I just come back to the basic. There is a SHIMMER version that is nice to mix a bit of acrylic paint into....but I really can do that by spraying it with some glimmer mist -- or dusting perfect pearls on it later. I do prefer the Matte to the GLOSS -- but that is just personal preference.

@scrapmom65 Thanks so much for stopping by. When I have raw chipboard that I am going to be working with -- or something that is a slick surface -- I paint on a coat of GESSO....just to give it a bit of "tooth" and to keep the surface even for applying the collage. There are lots of brands -- I have used just about all of them and can't tell them apart really...

Hey Roxy! I liked it too without the misting....I went ahead with that step primarily to show how I got the results on the book cover that I sent to Karen....but you are so right -- it can look totally cool without it.
And you have just articulated why I have WAY more "stuff" in my studio than it can comfortably hold! The MINUTE I decide I can actually part with something is when I discover a CREATIVE way to use it! Sorry to do that to you.
The stamp is from FiveGreenGoldfish on ETSY.

Wanda...thank you so much for your encouragement! I was a little nervous doing this one...not sure if folks would like just "watching the process" -- but I couldn't figure out a way to do it in 10 minutes (collage isn't difficult but it does take a bit of time). I am thinking about doing another one to show how I create journal (or mini book) covers with paint, collage and stamping....what do you think about that?
