Meet Katey! Katey has been a friend of mine for years and has played multiple roles behind the scenes at the 1407. Perhaps you got to meet her at Plannerjam 1.0 in Troy, Ohio this past June. She was the one that presented stamping! Maybe you already follow her on Instagram @jollieplans! If you do, then you know art is her passion! Katey has been a great motivator and has been an inspiration for our company!

Katey is the “behind the scenes” talent of the photos we post. Recently, Katey shared her art journal with me. I couldn’t put it down, it was so beautiful and full of imagination! As I was admiring the work, she mentioned that she did all of the artwork in our inserts! She had used tons of paint and markers and nothing bled through! I knew our paper was absorbent and high quality, but this was something I had not considered or tried out myself! I was so impressed at how much the paper held!!

Stamping inks with a touch of glimmer spray finishes off a project perfect.

When using large amounts of paint I put down gesso to prime the paper. 

Distress ink is a fun medium to play with and blend.
