Add a Personal Dimension to Your Scrapbook Pages
Creating scrapbooks is a wonderful pastime. I have such a large family that I do not want to
miss out on anything, and I love sharing my pictures and memories with others. Scrapbooking
keeps my memories fresh and alive; I will treasure these pages for years to come.
It isn’t always easy to find just the right paper and accessories, so I like to paint my own pages,
using elements and colors from my photos. Because the new FolkArt® Papier™ Paints were
formulated especially for painting on paper, they are perfect for scrapbooks. These luscious paints
will not warp the paper, and they are flexible when dry, so they will not crack when papers bend
with frequent handling. You can use a brush with Papier™ Flow Medium for familiar painting
techniques, but Papier™ Paints can also be squeezed from the bottle tip and used like a pen for
dimensional effects. The Papier™ line includes Glass Finish to make parts of your designs look as
if they are made from glass. The possibilities are endless!
If you have boxes of photos and special keepsakes, I hope this book will inspire you to bring
them out and create scrapbooks full of the happiest memories of your life. Most importantly,
don’t forget to share these “books of memories.” You, too, can be someone’s inspiration!

PAPIER™
™
GEL
These paints were developed for use
on paper. They are acid free plus they
don’t cause the paper to warp - perfect
for scrapbook enthusiasts. They are thick
and creamy, which is exactly what One
Stroke painters want. Papier can be used
with a paint brush or straight from the
bottle by squeezing, using the tip of the
bottle like a pen. They are available in a
wide variety of colors, including
metallics and glitters. To use these as
dimensional paints just squeeze the bottle gently. The color should flow out of
the bottle easily with little pressure. If it
does not flow out easily, insert a pin in
the tip to clear it. You can outline
objects, make swirls or fill in any area by
just moving the tip around the area. The
glitter colors are best used straight from
the bottle to create an elaborate affect or
to add glitz and glitter to your designs.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to wipe off
the tip of the bottle before replacing the
cap. If paint is left on the tip it will build
up in the cap and cause the tip of the
bottle to bend which will result in poor
outlines.
These acid-free, gel-formula paints were
developed with scrapbookers in mind.
The paints can be used for photo tinting
on professionally-printed matte finish
photos as well as photos printed on a laser
or ink jet printer on matte finish photo
paper. The paints can also be brushed on
printed papers or vellum to create transparent washes. They can also be used
instead of ink on foam ink pads with
rubber stamps. Keepsake Colors Gel dries
quickly and is available in a wide range
of colors, including sparkles.

painting just as a blending medium does
with other types of acrylic paint, but
Flow Medium is made especially for use
with these paints and for use on paper.

The ONE Stroke Technique
USING ONE STROKE BRUSHES
dampen the bristles in water and dry them with a paper towel
before loading. When cleaning flat brushes, you can use the
rake in the bottom of the Brush Caddy. Flat ONE Stroke™
brushes are synthetic and don’t have a tendency to break, but
be gentle.
ONE Stroke™ brushes are essential for the ONE Stroke™
technique. They have been designed especially for this type of
stroke work. Here’s a brief explanation on the use and
purpose of each brush:
Script Liner:
The script liner is used when painting curlicues or string
ribbons and similar items. It is used with paint that is inky
(thinned with water to the consistency of ink). Use this way:
Wet the brush. Load paint on your palette. Dip the brush in
water three or four times. Roll the wet brush in the paint,
twirling the brush to load. Pull out to the side of the palette
until well loaded with inky paint.
Clean the script liner as you would flats; be gentle, but
clean thoroughly.
Scruffy:
I originally created the scruffy by shaping the bristles of an
old, worn out brush into an oval after carefully cutting them
to a uniform length of about 1/2". The ONE Stroke™ scruffy
brushes you can buy are ready to use. All you have to do is
“fluff the scruff ” - remove the brush from the packaging and
form the bristles into an oval shape by gently pulling them,
then twist the bristles in the palm of your hand until they are
a nice oval shape. Now you’re ready to pounce the brush into
paint and begin.
A fluffed scruffy brush is used to paint mosses, wisteria,
lilacs, some hair and fur, faux finishes, and shading textures.
This brush is not used with water. To clean, pounce the
bristles in the Brush Caddy - don’t rake them; the natural
bristles can break. Allow the brush to dry thoroughly before
painting with it again.
Cleaning and Care of Brushes:
Proper cleaning and care makes brushes last longer and
perform better.
1. Clean brushes thoroughly with water. Be gentle.
2. Brush bristles across a bar of soap and work it in with your
fingers, making certain it is distributed all the way to the
ferrule. Rinse with water.
3. Dry bristles with a clean rag or paper towels, shaping them
as you dry. Leaving a small amount of moisture in the
bristles will not harm them. Lay brushes flat to store.
4. Optional: I like to brush the bristles on a non-perfumed,
non-deodorant bar of soap to help them keep their shape.
Rinse before painting again.
Flat Brushes:
flat side
chisel edge
ONE Stroke™ flat brushes are designed with longer bristles
and less thickness in the body of the brush than other flat
brushes, so they have a much sharper chisel edge. A sharp
chisel edge is essential as most of strokes begin and then end
on the chisel edge.
These brushes are ready to use from the package. Simply
Brush Care Tips:
• Don’t allow paint to dry in your brush.
• As you paint, occasionally rinse the bristles with water.
• Store brushes in a container that keeps brush bristles from
bending.

staples. To keep the pattern sheet intact, trace pattern on
tracing paper with a pencil or pen.
To transfer, place the item to be painted on your work
surface and lay the traced pattern in position on project. Slip
transfer paper between pattern and item. Trace pattern with a
stylus to transfer it.
1. Wet your brush and gently lay flat on paper towel to
remove excess water.
2. Pick up paint by dipping one corner of the brush in one
color and the opposite corner of the brush in another color
(for double loading).
3. Stroke brush back and forth in a
sweeping motion. Repeat step 2 once
DOUBLE LOADING BRUSHES
or twice until the brush is full of paint
two-thirds of the way up the bristles.
• When brush is loaded correctly, your
strokes should feel as if the bristles
glide. If the brush is coarse or splits,
you do not have enough paint on the
brush.
4. When you need more paint: Once
your brush is loaded, all you need to
do to paint is to pick up a touch of

ing. You do not need to brush back
and forth on your palette anymore. If
you continue to do this every time
you pick up paint, you will not have
enough paint to finish your strokes.
USING FLOW MEDIUM
Load your brush as normal with the
colors. When your brush is fully loaded
dip the chisel edge into a puddle of Flow
Medium and work into the brush using
the same track you used when you
loaded the brush. Keep in mind that the
Flow Medium will turn the colors transparent if too much is loaded on the
brush, so make sure to fully load your
brush with the colors before loading the
Flow Medium.
TRANSFERRING PATTERNS
The patterns for the projects for this
book are located on the pattern sheets at
the center of the book. To remove the
pattern sheets, open the center staples,
lift out the pattern sheets, and close the
Dip other side into second color.
Colors should form triangles on the
brush and meet in the middle.
Stroke brush to blend colors where
they meet.
If You’re a
Left-Handed Painter
• Always start where I say to end
and end your stroke where I
indicate to start.
• When you are stroking leaves,
turn your practice sheets or
worksheets so you stroke the tip
of the leaf towards your body.
• Experiment by turning the surface at different angles to see
what works best for you.
5
Tips for transferring patterns:
• Reduce or enlarge the patterns as necessary on a copy machine to accommodate the size of your project.
• Use dark transfer paper for light surfaces and white for dark surfaces.
• Lightly tape the pattern to the surface
to keep it from sliding.
• It is not necessary to trace every fine
detail. Transfer the main outlines of the
pattern. Tracing every detail takes away
from the natural look you are trying to
attain.
USING THE PAINTING
WORKSHEETS
The worksheets in this book are
designed to illustrate techniques and
strokes. To practice, place kitchen plastic
wrap over the worksheet and paint the
motif right over Donna’s painting, following the arrows and instructions. Then
just remove and replace the plastic wrap
and practice again.
Because the design elements on the
worksheets may be used in more than
one project, colors on the worksheet will
sometimes differ from those in the project instructions. In those cases, use the
colors given in the project instructions
and refer to the worksheet for techniques
and procedure. ❑

PHOTO TINTING
Use the Keepsake Gel paints to tint black and
white photos. The idea is to tint the picture
slightly, keeping the colors thin and transparent.
Test the paint on a scrap piece of your paper
before tinting the actual photo. Your photo will
be different from mine, however, you can use
the following instructions as a guide.
1. I tinted the hair brown by making a
mixture of two drops of Juicy Orange
Gel, three drops of Sunshine Yellow Gel,
and one drop of Kelly Green. I used the
#8 flat brush on the chisel edge to tint
the hair.
2. Eyes were tinted with Turquoise using
the #2 script liner.
3. Lips were tinted with Berry Wine using
the #2 script liner.
4. For the cheeks, I mixed White with a
touch of Berry Wine and applied with
the #8 flat brush.
5. The shirt was tinted with Berry Wine
using the #8 flat brush.
6. Allow paint to dry. Cut out photos to fit
the tan rectangles cut previously, cutting
the photos 1/8" smaller all around than
tan rectangles.

Light boxes are sold at most craft stores. You can also fashion one out of household items if
you are in a pinch. Simply place a light underneath a glass table, or use picture frame glass
with a small lamp. You can also use a window as long as there is ample light and you can
secure both your brass stencil and your paper to it.
1. Using the ruler, draw a light pencil line on the back of the tan card stock. This line
will mark the bottom of the letters.
2. Turn the brass stencil so that the letters are backwards and place it on the light
box. Turn the light on and place the tan card stock on top of the stencil. Use the
stylus to emboss the letters for the name.
Note: I find it easier to emboss the name starting on the left and spelling it in reverse
order, rather than starting on the right.
