They came with some old stamps that I bought. Am not sure where you can buy more, although you can probably make them with some vellum or tracing paper.

The Kaweco medium has been a really reliable nib for me and seems to play well with all the inks I’ve paired it with so far… except maybe Diamine’s shimmer ink. It still works fine, but every once in awhile I need to run the whole feed and nib under a tap to wash out clogged shimmer, but it’s quite easy to do and works well almost immediately after!

I know… my pocket is hurting because of it 😅

Sweet! I hope you’ll enjoy using them! I can’t wait to unbox my other Kaweco’s, but wait I must 😅

I print my photos via photobook.com 🙂

Thank you so much! ☺️

Awwwhhh thank you! I guess I sometimes feel the need to do better, but don’t worry, if I think I did great I’m happy to praise myself too 🤭. My layering is quite simple compared to others I’ve seen, just mindblown by all their details! I’m too conscious of being able to close my journals somewhat flat-ish so I try not to go too overboard.

First world problems right? Life was simpler when you had to be mindful of having only 36 shots in one roll of film 😅

Thank you!!!

Thank you for that information! Now I know that the ink disappears not because of the specific ink I’m using and it’s the pen itself. Good for using with inks you want to finish off quickly perhaps 😁.

Thank you! Yes, it is a lovely pen indeed. Very classic. I love it!

Thank you so much for watching! I’m a sucker for making things line up perfectly 😂. I don’t use a stamp mat, but I do use a thin acrylic sheet underneath when things get bulky (because that is what I have lying around). I find that acrylic sheets are sturdier, but anything that is thin and won’t bend to the page underneath should work well too.

Welcome to my channel! I use photobook.com to print my pictures as they have my the matte Fuji crystal archive photo paper option, which I prefer compared to glossy photo prints. The photos you see in my monthly layouts are stickers though, and those were made by companies offering sticker printing services.

Thank you so much for leaving me this lovely comment ☺️. Hmmm, the thing with TN inserts is that sometimes one ink will bleed through them and then the next time it won’t. I think there was a shoddy batch and so many of my pages had bleedthrough and I had to cover them up. It also depends on the pen - wetter and broader nibs are likely to bleed more. I know TN doesn’t love pigment inks very much though so stay away from them, but Iroshizuku, Diamine, Robert Oster, Jacques Herbin, have so far been ok. I hope that helps!

@@nadiahkimie Thank you 😘

@@angie_szy You're welcome!

You’re most welcome! I hope you like how it turns out. I think it could look quite nice in a brush marker.

Thank you! 😊

Thankfully the burping didn’t continue after this video 😄 It was probably just too full of ink 🤭. Hmmm, no, I don’t think this ink is waterproof.

😂 Oh gosh, screenshot away! I do that too when I come across brilliant journaling ideas that I want to incorporate into my own journals, because otherwise I’ll forget! I hope you’ve started on your journal 😄

Hehehe, I’m glad you think so 😄

Thank you so much! And thank you for watching. I hope the video gives you some ideas for your journals too 😄

You’re most welcome!

I hope you found it useful 😄

You’re most welcome! Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you! Some people call this tracing paper, some people call it vellum (although it technically isn’t). I bought mine online via Shopee but they should also be available in art and office-style stationery shops.

Appreciate it! I’ll look for this on local shops near me. Follow up question, how do you stick this to become an extra page? What kind of tape do you use?

@@airynigagamao8779 No problem! Ah, if you take a look at 6:40, you'll notice that a generous piece of the tracing paper has been stuck onto one page, and then I covered some of it up with photos. This is to make sure that the extra page won't come loose easily. In 17:04 though, I just glued one side of the tracing paper following the middle fold of the page. I use a transparent roller tape glue to stick the tracing paper down. It has to be a really clear roller tape though. Sometimes it's tinted blue or green and that will definitely show through the paper.

@@nadiahkimie thanks for these very detailed instructions. I did not notice that it was glued on 17:04 until you mentioned it. Can’t wait to make my own and apply these tips 💕

@@airynigagamao8779 You're most welcome. Have fun making your journals!

Thank you! I hope you’ll be able to use them in your journal. It’s a great way to keep them in your collection without actually keeping the whole entire packaging 😄

😂😂😂 I love that comment. Asian genes + hand cream helps 🤭.

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! I’m happy you watched my video and enjoyed it despite there being no voice - I don’t have a voice for recording, trust me 😂. Plus… mic fright!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Sorry for taking so long to reply, I sometimes forget to check in when I don’t have a video to upload 😅. I try my best not to make things too busy as goodness knows sometimes I feel the need to fill every single inch of a page up.

Thank you!

You’re most welcome! Thank you for watching my flip through, I’m glad you enjoyed my video and travel journals 😊

Ah, school sometimes leaves us with certain kinds of trauma doesn’t it? I forever will not like the shade of turquoise we had to use for our school uniforms.

Thank you so much!

I agree with you. It’s very striking when wet and then it looks washed out when it dries. Maybe that’s the intention to make it look like rollerball ink? 🤔 I wasn’t planning on buying this ink but someone gifted it to me, so use it and swatch it I must 😄 (as long as it’s within my colour schemes). It does flow nicely with the blue Safari though!

I am not sure if this is washable but this blue certainly dries paler compared to when it is freshly out of the pen. And it’s true, the Lamy black is really quite black although it has been many years since I’ve used it.

When it comes to royal blue ink asa-gao is definitely a favourite!
