Making Journal Ephemera from Trash
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2024
- Discover how to transform an image from an ordinary junk mail envelope and a discarded paint chip into functional and beautiful journal card cards. I’m creating ephemera for my steampunk themed journal today, but the ideas can be adapted to fit any theme. Using up the recycled images in your stash is always a bonus!
Thanks for spending some time with me today! I’m glad you’ve stopped by!

It never ceases to amaze me the way you come up with the perfect combination of elements. I love these cards!
Oh thank you Marion! I appreciate that!
Thanks, Kathleen. These are certainly a case of trash to treasure! Absolutely awesome results and it’s always such a pleasure for me to watch you in action, dear friend! 😀💞
Thank you Keryn - you are such a steady encourager to me! Thanks for watching.
Hi Kathleen. I bet you were excited when you saw that beautiful watch image on that junk mail envelope. What great friends you have to collect ephemera for you--and cut the proper end of the envelopes. ;-) I always enjoy watching you work on a project. Sometimes I can anticipate what you will do next, and other times you surprise me by doing something unexpected--to me anyway. Both pieces turned out so good and look great under that belly band. Thanks for taking us along as you worked on this page. It was fun.
Thanks so much Linda! I’m happy to have you along! Yes, I have great friends - this friend gets the best junk mail, much better than mine, haha.
Better than mine, too, from what I've seen, especially the envelope with that watch on it. That's probably the best I've seen yet. @@BeAgainBooks
Fun find, love the tan tissue on a darker pattern. Fun and lovely!
Thank you Dawn! I appreciate that!
What a great envelope that was! It was just the perfect piece to fussy cut and use. I love the way you created that journal card. Have a wonderful day!
It really was Sheryl, they don’t come around too often, haha. Thanks so much for being here this morning.
The two pieces look great together. Adding the closure on the second piece was a nice detail. I wouldn't have thought of that.
Thank you CP!
Just beautiful, Kathleen! I struggle with mixed media, but you make it seem so doable and effortless!
Thank you Jennilee! I’m glad it seems easy - you’re right, it is for me. But I hope you’ll come to enjoy it!
Hello Kathleen , I really like how you make your own ephemera from junk mail. It looks amazing!

Thank you Bront! I appreciate that.
Great pieces! Gave me ideas of how to use my trash and come up with a wonderful pieces of ephemera! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful, you are so welcome!
These turned out lovely.
My instinct has been to round the corners on items in a bellyband, but I never had a reason for doing so. I’m glad to learn that it actually is a useful thing to do.
Thank you Bella! I appreciate you!
That pocket watch is beautiful!
I was pretty excited when I saw it, haha! Thanks for watching Dawn!

Thank you Bonnie! Thanks so much for watching!
Love it all but two things I picked up - spraying the oxide and it will fall into the sanded parts when you wipe it off and the little oval paper plate you bend over and used to secure the extra journaling space - love your ideas Kathleen - thank you!!
I’m so glad you stopped by Gemma and glad you found some ideas! Thanks for watching!
