Lets make Scrap Busting Postcards
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2021
- Like all the junk journal makers and collage artists I seem to create an ever growing pile of scraps and I'm constantly trying to use them up. One way I've found very productive and quick is to make postcards, now postcards are not only used as journal cards in my junk journals but I like to send them out as a thank you or thinking of you gift to friends and family. If I'm compiling an order from my Etsy shop or a commission I like to include a personal little note on a unique little piece of art....hence I use postcards I create.
I hope you enjoy this video and find this method of scrap busting helpful.
Here is the link to the acrylic painted book pages I was using in the video to decorate the final postcards.

As I’m watching this Ceri, 2 yrs later I am hoping you still have your sweet Biscuit! ❤ I learned this new technique from you and my respect for you grows even deeper for your down to earth-ness! You don’t need to reply, but thank you again for your work on these videos.
Jennifer, thank you, Biscuit and I are both doing well.
I seem to attract animals as well. Animals are precious. Their love is accepting and unconditional. Makes me happy.
I know exactly why animals are attracted to you, my friend! They are excellent judges of character and are, no doubt, drawn to your big, kind, beautiful heart! 🥰. Just love how these turned out! Wonderful! The little boy is my favorite…love his wings! (With apologies to the poor butterfly who sacrificed his antlers 😂 ). I’ve been dying to watch this video and enjoyed it so much! I need to go through your videos to watch the acrylic painting technique. Love that idea! Sending love and hugs across the pond, dear friend! ❤️
Gayle thank you so much, I'll be doing some Geli printing in the future as well so I'm sure you'll enjoy me getting mucky. Have fun and you're my afternoon coffee break every day and have been for years, you inspire me. Love and hugs.
Love, Love, Love the little boy with wings
I can listen to you all day. I really like your content.
I appreciate that, thank you.
I love watching you craft and get so many ideas. You and Gayle are my favorites.
Thank you Peggy
Hello, Dear Ceri. Was scrolling and my instant reaction... "Oh, yay!!! There's a Ceri!" I also love giving you a thumbs up BEFORE I've even seen your video❣️ Thanks for always sharing every inch of every process in such great detail. Truly, you ROCK🎉🎉🎉
You're the best, thank you
I am so happy that I found you, on UA-cam! It is so refreshing to find a crafter that only wants to share what they do with others. I’m so tired of the ones that are only wanting to sell something.. So thank you from Excel, a tiny town in south Alabama USA.
Thank you Martha and welcome Excel.
I feel the same way about things. I do not usually watch the news. My views on politicians are the same. I find your videos relaxing and informative. Love your projects. I'm basically new to journaling. About 1 year in on album making. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Me too, (on politics and the news). We're not narrow minded Ceri, we just chose to let others run that show so we have more time to focus on who and what we care to focus our attention on.❤
that is so sweet about unconditional love. people have not always been very kind to me either....i understand why u would prefer animals over people......
Goodmorning Ceri, love the cards. You have quite the eye for collages. Give Bisquit a bit of a pet for me. Enjoy your day.
Will do
U always have a unique and different way of doing things...binge watching from Wisconsin.
J'adore vos créations Ceri ! C'est Magnifique !❤❤❤
I love the idea of your glue book. Great idea
Thank you! 😊
Bless her cotton socks. Never heard that before. Great video.
I came here after Gayle did 6 postcards inspired by this vid. I subscribed too because I like what you make.🦌💌❤️📚
Thank you and welcome.
Fun! My first thought after you flipped them over was rooms in a magazine. We all see something different!
We certainly do.
Animals live at a higher frequency than humanity. They know unconditional love, which humanity is still trying to understand. Your magnet is also a higher frequency. It also attracts birds, dragonflies, butterflies and just bugs in general lol. I’ve had cicadas chase me around my garden!
Have a great day Ceri💓
lol.....I remember cicadas from working in Tulsa, they always struck me as other worldly.
Amazing as always! Thank-you,
I enjoyed watching this process! Now I hope I can find your video to see what you do with those glue sheets! Thanks for sharing!
I love how you make a project seem so doable, less daunting. I think it's your easy going style of teaching that takes the stress out of attempting something new. Thank you for that! Love these post cards! And I got some water color paint today, so will try the stamping and then painting the picture stamped, from another video of yours I watched yesterday! I'm so excited to try this! Thanks again!
I’m so pleased you like my content. Thank you.
I agree about the politicians and always like to hear I am not alone. Love watching you share your talent. Thanks and God Bless
Thank you
Hi Ceri, I'm a brand new subbie. I can't believe I've only just found you ! I now know that what they say is true. Good things come to those who wait ! I absolutely love your channel. You're so creative and you make such beautiful things. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I'll be binge watching you in the evenings. Have a greatly blessed day ! 🤗
Thank you Sherry and welcome to my channel. Have fun creating.
Oh dear Ceri, I'm watching you in April 2022, 10 months after you posted this. Sadly, we are in the 6th wave and things are not going well. I think it is a very good thing we didn't know we would be in this thing for the long haul.
I love your postcards. I do Postcrossing and some members express liking original, handmade cards. My goal is to have a bunch ready for these people. I think your method is brilliant.
Thank you, I don’t know what postcrossing is but I’ve a feeling it’s like swapping mail, I’ll have to do some research.
I could watch you all day! Thanks!
Thank you, pleased you enjoy my videos.
Love it
Biscuit sounds like a wonderful friend. I have a black lab, Jerry, who also is a smiley friend. But his ears don't stand up, lol
Biscuit is my little fur brother
These postcards are brilliant. What a great idea.
Thank you Janet.
Brilliant! 6 works of art and you made it look so easy. Thank you Ceri. I love to watch your videos and listen to your precise guidance.
Thank you so much!
Totally with you on loving the animals.
Thank you
I love these! Yes, once again I'm late to this game.
I loved your comment about politicians, I had a good chuckle!
Sometimes laugh is all you can do.
My husband also attracts animals too. He says that it is his animal magnetism in him. Apparently, you have it too Ceri. Nice collage man, great job. Watching sewing is a good thing & you learn quite a lot from it.
Thank you and yes I love to watch other crafts because inspiration comes from everywhere and I’m a sponge for knowledge.
It would be great to see your meals as it is another facet of your personality!
Pattie, I must admit I very much doubt I’m going to be doing food on video as its a tricky one to do.
I use a pin to run a small tear along the back of the label etc ‘et voila’ 😊
These are just lovely! Thank you for sharing.
I totally agree with you concerning sunbathing.
Thank you
Just found you and I’m so glad. You’re such a pleasant person to listen to and watch.
Thank you and welcome to my channel
I haven’t watched the news for years!!
I don’t watch the news or read newspapers, I just observer what crosses my path.
THANKYOU for making these videos....love watching you create your beautiful art and listening to your conversation. ❤️
You’re welcome Kathy.
By the way, you have a positive affect on the world through your sharing of your crafting. Better than most any politician I’ve heard of!
Thank you
Thank you Ceri!! Love these!! I too have that animal attraction thing happens to me too. Many dogs come to visit me at the cabin along with wild animals, bears, fix, deer, birds etc. They always know they’re quite welcome ❤️
As always, thanks for sharing 🙏❤️
Thank you Wendy I think animals instinctively know I’m no danger to them.
Thanks lovely man.I really enjoyed this.Tjhey are so pretty!!
Love, love, love these
cards.
Thank you
Oh i love watching and listening to you! so glad i found you to try and improve my journalling skills
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel.
I am going to give this a go. I truly enjoy watching you. I feel like you do I would be attracted to an animal before a person. Animals are so forgiving & loving especially dogs.
Thank you Dian, have fun creating.
Such a wonderfully fun video, can't wait to have a play!
Thank you
Thank you! I do these with all kinds of stamps, but i never thought of making copies and keeping the master. And to copy them on sticker paper. How smart is that?!?! To think of all the tags and labels I have made......
Love this idea to make my backgrounds.
Great news, have fun.
Totally agree about sewing. I was very reluctant at first to sew on paper but seeing such beautiful work I eventually just had to try it. I’m glad I found you. I love your work. Many thanks for sharing.
This is so useful! I recently made a master board following your example, and I scanned and cut it up, into postcards, but it needed something more. This is the answer! Thanks Ceri!
You’re so welcome, have fun creating.
Hi Ceri, I feel so close you to myself, I don't mind your conversation with yourself at all :-) Being new at journaling I love your videos, I learn a lot from them. Love when you speek at animals (and politics :-) ) I feel the same. Love all your videos. Many thanks and warm greetings from Hungary, Judit Bozsár
Thank you Judit
Fabulous!! And thanks for reminding me that I have stitching stamps !!!! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
You are so welcome Lesley
I'm just getting back to doing my art due to going through cancer treatments which messed up my eyes, Your videos are giving me some great ideas for painting mixed media. My main medium is color pencil so I am experimenting doing post cards with color pencil backgrounds. I also do a lot of crocheting afghans and I'm thinking making things to give to people when I am giving them afghans would be great. Thank you for inspiring me!
You’re welcome and I’m pleased to hear you’ve now completed your treatment.
I'm a new follower, and enjoying slowly working through your videos. This one tickled me, with you talking about being in the sun. The comment that you looked down and asked "Why is my arm pink!?" I guffawed. Spending my life in Texas, that's a check you get used to from childhood - having to periodically run to mom to reapply the sunblock
Lol......thank you and welcome to my channel
youtube recommended you yesterday and I've had a blast watching just a few of your videos. My brain will explode from all of your unique ideas! And I have to remember to stop and eat! Thank you for your refreshing take on paper crafting...I was going to recycle (get rid of) some of my old books, now I know what to do with them.
I checked your website and can't find where you say what those rings are that you keep your washi tape on, that is a brilliant idea. And I gotta see if you have a video on how you made your ephemera books, also a cool and handy idea. Keeps them within easy eye reach, instead of hidden away.
Thank you, Ceri, you've got a fan for life!
Hi there, few things, this is the video where I shared a review of the Washi rings so that’ll give you as much information as I had at the time of filming ua-cam.com/video/rzTR3J0xedg/v-deo.html , I didn’t make a video of my ephemera storage folder but I’ve had many requests to show how I make one so that’s possibly coming soon.
Oh and thank you and welcome.
I loved watching this Ceri. 😍 Feeling very inspired. Thank you.
You are so welcome
i love postcards and this video is great , i am raring to go . thank you .your butterfly boy is fabulous.
Thank you June.
Love the paper doll one!! I’m gonna have to go get some blank postcards now. Thank you for sharing.
Don’t forget you can cut your own postcards from card stock. Sometimes this time of year you can get packs of white greetings cards they can also be turned into postcards.
@@CeriGriffiths I would love if you could do a video showing different ways to use paper dolls. 🥰
I love watching your videos. This one was very engaging and something I’m anxious to try. Thank you for sharing❣️
Have fun.
Nice crafting on these cards…and especially like the personality of your sticker organizer. I should make one for myself someday
Go for it
My brother lives over there and he actually goes a little brown … being Aussie…but his ex-wife goes quite brown which was always frustrating for me because I’m quite fair, turns out they have Spanish background too! Explained a lot
It does.
I really enjoyed this video. Feel very inspired. You style is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this technique.
Thank you
I love these. What a great idea. Have a great day
You too Sherrie
These turned out beautifully
Thank you.
Very interesting!!❤❤
Wonderful!
good job friend
Thank you
@@CeriGriffiths your welcome
Very nice! Thank you for sharing your talents
You’re welcome.
2 years later, I'm enjoying this, Ceri. All new to me...is 77 too late to start? I have lots of books, cards, and magazines to use. You are inspiring!
It’s never to late.
Just wonderful!
Thank you
Love your channel, nice calm voice easy listening.
Thank you
Hi Ceri, don’t forget that if you are putting the postcards directly in the post, that the new postage stamps are much wider because of the QR section and therefore they would cover up your made by Ceri stamped image. Enjoyed the video tfs
I usually put them in an envelope.
Love how nice these came together! Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
I loved them all! TY💕
Thank you
I absolutely love these.
Thank you
I love the name of your Dog!!!
Thank you
I do love these.
Thank you Judy.
I do this same thing with my old glue pages, cut them apart and use them as needed. If I want to make journal cards from them I turn them over and do the same process again with neutral papers. I often sew around them to hold them together better (glue pages are rarely properly glued). I love the postcard blanks though, I have never seen them here.
Thank you
Love this method! You are always adding to more than one card at a time!! Good way to use my security envelopes, too. Might have to put the post card blanks on my Christmas wish list. 😏 (The kids say my list is boring or too short. I only ask for what I need.)
Great idea!
They look fab. xxx
Thank you
I love the way you join them together while you were collaging them. I use postcards for Journal cards and pockets and Tux and this is a good way to make a whole bunch of them at one time. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us
You’re welcome Judie.
Love this idea.
Thank you
They look great! Thank you for sharing!!!
You're welcome
You are such an encouragement, Thank you
You’re welcome Joan.
So true my friend. I agree with you 100%. My older sister wants me to vote but I feel why. Like you said their going to do what they want. I love your video's. Thank you.
I hope the future will change that.
Just love this technique, Ceri. Thank you so much for all you teach us!
Thank you
These turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing 💕
You are so welcome!
Ceri take your pokey tool, lay it perpendicular to your flat service, slide it right in between the sticker, they come apart perfectly.
Thank you
What an awesome idea 😊
Thank you
This was great! Thanks from Dallas!
Glad you enjoyed it Carol
Your sewing is so neat!! Beautiful, can't wait to make some of these
Great thank you
I've just discovered your channel and now am bingeing on watching the videos! Really enjoying your ideas and imagine my surprise when I saw you pull out your washi tape collection which is organized the same way I have mine arranged; difference is that I constructed my own rings with some wire from my stash. This works for me as well and I have never seen anyone else on you tube store their tapes in this manner. Yes, I love animals also and have been vegetarian for 59 years and vegan for almost 4. Don't worry about offending me; I actually enjoy hearing about meals people put together particularly where thought and creativity are involved. Do want to say however that meat is not the sole source of protein and actually vegetables are also protein sources ; even though the protein may be partial in a vegetable; the combination with others can form a complete protein. Sorry you were sick and perhaps your body needed more time to adjust to a new way of eating? I know that years ago my hair began coming out when I tried a vegan diet for 6 weeks but after I made some adjustments and took a more gradual approach I had no problems; in face my hair is thick and long today. Anyway thanks for your sharing and I look forward to more videos.
Thank you Claudia, I’m pleased I didn’t offend. The washi rings are a wonderful storage system because they’re so visually accessible.
Thank you, Ceri, I’m gonna make some of these.
They’re fun.
I just discovered your channel today. Loving your videos! Thank you!
Thank you and welcome to my channel
These post cards were fun to watch! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Thank you Cindy
Love your postcards ... you make this process look so easy!! Well, I will keep trying!! Thanks so much!
Just have fun with it Michele, no stress just play.
Loved the video Ceri. Tkx for the inspiration.
You’re welcome
I love these postcards! Can’t wait to make some tomorrow. I’ve been watching a few of your videos each day and have gone back to watch some over again as well. Your ideas have really inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things. Thank you!
Fabulous
Only recently found your site; I'm loving your work. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome, thank you!
What an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing this!
You’re welcome.
