Hello! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. I wanted to share a quick tutorial on how to make some journaling lines on your paper when you don’t have a journal stamp or one that isn’t the size that you need.
I will be using the Funky Flowers stamp set today. I love using different stamp sets for different things. See the two stems in the lower left hand corner? We are going to be using those today, along with the wavy one just above those.

First, grab your ink pad, stamps, acrylic block and some scrap paper to practice:

Next, Ink your stamp and stamp lines next to the photo:

Like this:

Then this:

Then, switch to a straight line to mix them up a bit:

So they will look like this:

Then, I added some to the other side of the photo for some balance:

Just embellish your layout and you have some fun and different journaling lines. I even added a few more cutout stamps from this set and a date stamp from the Notes stamp set, too.

Happy Creating,
