Lets make Scrap Busting Postcards

- 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.
I can listen to you all day. I really like your content.
I appreciate that, thank you.
Love, Love, Love the little boy with wings
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 love watching you craft and get so many ideas. You and Gayle are my favorites.
Thank you Peggy
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.❤
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
I am so happy that I found you, on CZcams! 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.
J'adore vos créations Ceri ! C'est Magnifique !❤❤❤
U always have a unique and different way of doing things...binge watching from Wisconsin.
I love the idea of your glue book. Great idea
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
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.
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 could watch you all day! Thanks!
Thank you, pleased you enjoy my videos.
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,
These postcards are brilliant. What a great idea.
Thank you Janet.
Totally with you on loving the animals.
Thank you
Fun! My first thought after you flipped them over was rooms in a magazine. We all see something different!
We certainly do.
Love it
I loved your comment about politicians, I had a good chuckle!
Sometimes laugh is all you can do.
These are just lovely! Thank you for sharing.
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.
Love, love, love these
cards.
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 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 love these! Yes, once again I'm late to this game.
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
Such a wonderfully fun video, can't wait to have a play!
Thank you
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.
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.
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......
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.
I loved watching this Ceri. 😍 Feeling very inspired. Thank you.
You are so welcome
I love these. What a great idea. Have a great day
You too Sherrie
I really enjoyed this video. Feel very inspired. You style is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this technique.
Thank you
I totally agree with you concerning sunbathing.
Thank you
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
Fabulous!! And thanks for reminding me that I have stitching stamps !!!! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
You are so welcome Lesley
Love this idea to make my backgrounds.
Great news, have fun.
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 use a pin to run a small tear along the back of the label etc ‘et voila’ 😊
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 love postcards and this video is great , i am raring to go . thank you .your butterfly boy is fabulous.
Thank you June.
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!
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
Love how nice these came together! Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
Love your channel, nice calm voice easy listening.
Thank you
THANKYOU for making these videos....love watching you create your beautiful art and listening to your conversation. ❤️
You’re welcome Kathy.
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.
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!!
I absolutely love these.
Thank you
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
I do love these.
Thank you Judy.
Wonderful!
Just love this technique, Ceri. Thank you so much for all you teach us!
Thank you
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
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
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 czcams.com/video/rzTR3J0xedg/video.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 them all! TY💕
Thank you
Your sewing is so neat!! Beautiful, can't wait to make some of these
Great thank you
These turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing 💕
You are so welcome!
They look great! Thank you for sharing!!!
You're welcome

Thank you
Very nice! Thank you for sharing your talents
You’re welcome.
Love this idea.
Thank you
Loved the video Ceri. Tkx for the inspiration.
You’re welcome
I love the name of your Dog!!!
Thank you
I haven’t watched the news for years!!
I don’t watch the news or read newspapers, I just observer what crosses my path.
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.
What an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing this!
You’re welcome.
You are such an encouragement, Thank you
You’re welcome Joan.
I love the process you demonstrated today and the results were beautiful. Thank you Ceri.
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......
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.
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.
Another winner from you for me. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Thank you
These turned out beautifully
Thank you.
I enjoyed watching this so much!!!!! Also watched the other video where you painted and decorated the book pages. GREAT ideas!!!!!! Thank you so much for shairng with us!!!!!!
You’re welcome Betty thank you
I just love them....They are just awesome, great finish. You have the creative touch to turn a simple postcard into a truly work of art.....
Thank you
Loving your postcard idea & liking the use of the washi storage ring.
Thanks so much!
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 was great! Thanks from Dallas!
Glad you enjoyed it Carol
Only recently found your site; I'm loving your work. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome, thank you!
Just wonderful!
Thank you
Loved this tutorial. Your work is fab and your personality is wonderful and sincere.
Thank you
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
I would not have thought to do this across the cards. Brilliant use of scraps and very beautiful results. Thank you ❤️
Thank you
You tube recommended your site and glad they did as am loving your fabulous ideas!🥰
Thank you and welcome.
They look fab. xxx
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!
Oh my they look so much better with the sewing. Thank you for sharing that
Thank you
