All about Vellum - Video Tutorial

Todays video tutorial is all about Vellum. Its one of the most emailed about products I have, usually, what glue can I use? So in today’s Craft and Chat replay I share lots of hints and tips using the NEW Berry Botanical Vellum which is May’s product of the month and yours for £5 if you place an order of £70.

But first are you free on Saturday? and local to Fareham, Hampshire. I have a stall at the Makers Market being held at Fareham Leisure Centre, PO16 7JU 10am-2pm entrance is FREE. There are over 60 stalls! I’ll be selling my retired stamps, dies and punches, alongside promoting my classes and events. It would be lovely to see you!

Amanda Fowler Inspiring Inkin' Stampin' Up! UK 2026 All about Vellum

There is no such thing as invisible glue for vellum! Your best bet is to using a clear adhesive, my favourite is glue dots, but hiding the glue is by far and away gives the “BEST’ result.

For this second card I made a feature of the vellum on the inside. The vellum was 12″ wide and I scored it at 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 7″, 8″ and 9″. Just be really careful when you are scoring vellum it tears if you press too hard.

I also talked about the NEW Stampin’ Up! Hybrid ink pad. I promised a review once I had time to test it. Sadly I can’t recommend it to replace Stazon and Memento Black ink at this time. My test showed it had a really long drying time and even when dry it smeared when using blends and water colour. Of course this is my experience and my personal opinion, but I won’t be using the ink in its current form.

Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.

I’m thrilled to say we have Christmas and Halloween goodies coming in July! Yes I know its a long way off, but we are almost half way through 2026………. and in my world I’d be happy with Christmas all year round! I’ve placed my pre-order, so expect to see some Christmas projects in early June!

I hope you enjoyed last weeks catch up of Craft and Chats, you have another catch up both this Friday and next Friday, all ready to go. I’m planning on getting Craft and Catch replays out on Wednesday and another creative post on Friday as well moving forwards, so we all have a schedule we can rely on. I just need to get some more videos filmed!
