Some great tips but I would like to offer one. People who do junk journals might not stamp a lot and therefore don't know. Please don't rub your stamp across the ink pad. This causes ink to build up on the side of the design wall as it is scraped across. This can result in a blurred image. Instead, tap the stamp up and down on the pad, building a layer of ink, putting the ink on the top surface of the design, not the wall. This is especially important when you have a detailed design or a solid image. Press straight down on paper and press all around, don't rock the stamp. I hope this helps for those of you who wonder why your stamped images come out blurry.

That’s good advice! I never learned proper techniques, so I am sure that is happening to my ink pads. Thanks for the suggestions!

That is good advice. But stamps are purchased, not "junk" or something you'd normally throw away. I think a true junk journal would be made of things you normally would throw out. So making marks with ribs on corrugated cardboard might qualify as a stamp. Made with old coffee or something maybe

using an old book to ‘store’ stamped images as well as collages are great ways not to lose sight of pieces for later projects. by the way, the hand cream tip is perfect for a messy person like me!

My favorites were putting on hand lotion before crafting, using pattern paper to stamp images, making a stamped images book later use, and gluing paper scraps into a book for later use. I would like to see more of the suggestion to expand a spine with fabric. I cannot visualize the finished journal. I think I will search for a video on this technique. It is an intriguing idea.

Great video!!! All the tips in one place, finally lol. I have a tip that I can't remember where I saw, but have never seen since. And can't believe that bcuz it's genius. If you stamp regular tissue paper (with archival ink), tear it out and Mod Podge it to your page, the tissue paper will disappear upon drying and all that's left is the image. It'll make you look like a maestro!!! This also works if you draw the image yourself as long as you use waterproof pens like Sakura Microns.
