A masterboard collage is a large collaged piece that you can cut up into smaller pieces to use for making:
--ATCs
--book pages in a journal
--background for placing a photo
--mail-art postcards (in this case)
You can make a master board that is 12 inches x 12 inches, and then cut it down to the size of art you would like.
I go step by step on how I created an oversized masterboard, and what I did with it once the first round of collaging was complete.

Margarete Miller the course is very good. It’s thorough!
Thanks so much for the feedback, Cheryl! :-)
These cards turned out beautifully.
You wete populated in my CZcams feed. So glad you were! These postcards are beautiful, especially the addition of your daughter's spin art. I've just started making master boards. Your idea to draw the lines for your post cards is so clever, you can really see how to postion elements to include them on each card. TFS, Tricia
Super! So glad you got some new ideas to play with.
These are just so beautiful, Margarete. Thank you for your instructional videos that help me so much in understanding why you do things the way you do. I’m very much a beginner in understanding art and craft.
Great! So glad it was helpful. 👍🏼
Very beautiful collage master board,post cards I 💞it
Thank you so much 😊
These postcards are beautiful !
Thanks so much! 💜
You are a perfectionist for sure.... I dont have the patience to create like you do...lol
What a cool idea! Your daughter’s spin-art is beautiful. Everything is beautiful.
So inspiring as always! I liked your daughter's spin art so much, I have a spin art unit on order! I love this color combination. Thank you for all the wonderful videos!
Wonderful!! Spin art is so satisfying! I didn't realize until I watched my daughter do it, how cool it is 👍🏼 💙
Love this idea Margarete! I especially like how you sectioned off the paper to help you arrange your pieces. And then the encouragement to walk away for a bit of time is helpful. Thank you for walking us through your process. That REALLY helps and I learn so much that way. These are beautiful postcards.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Sandi. I hope that you experiment and create one yourself :-)
I’d love to see how your daughter made the cards you used. I love your cards too.
I still return to your old videos ... I get so inspired and its funny , when l see your video l learn a lot ... When l begann doing collage l felt l had no time , All had to go so farst ... Then l got sick and had to slow down , and l begann making small collages on playing cards ... Now l am getting better and stronger , and my collages are getting bigger and l am beginning to be good to mix papers and colours together ... People even ask if l want to sell my Art ... But l am not there yet , and maybe l realy dont have much time , so Thank you , Margaret for the wonderful videos with your awsome Art ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments, Ronja. I'm so glad your confidence is growing and that your skills are growing right along ❣️
I heard a suggestion that once you get your layout, take a picture of it with your phone before you start gluing. Thought that was a great idea.
It totally helps :-)
So inspiring and pretty!
Just lovely, including the background music. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea, like the way you ruled the background up to give some idea of placement. Thank you for sharing. Sue💜
Marrgarete, I would like to share with you a trick: instead of cutting the master board into cards and then looking at each one, I made four cards out of scrap 4 x 6, to place around areas where each card will be and isolate each card, blocking the neighboring cards.. This way, each card can be analyzed before cutting. I hope that this makes sense. I like to put a sealer on the master board before cutting, which is why I came up with this solution. Thank you for your videos. I am a new paper crafter and find your instructions to be really helpful.
Beautiful artwork, Margarete. Just beautiful. The video is showing step by step very clearly the process. The tranquility in the video is very nice. Good job!
I appreciate your comments, Edith. So glad you liked it :-)
I love watching you decide on your placement of pieces, Margarete. They always seem to end up in the right spot....you're such a natural. Thank you.
Thanks, Leanda :-) You're so kind to say so. It takes a little bit of fussing to get those papers to go where they nee to go ;-)
Those turned out really pretty! Thanks for showing us how to use our scraps!
Fabulous Master Board tfs Margarete ...
Thanks for sharing, Margarete--I love your work!
Beautiful 💖✨😍
Adorable. I think I might have to try this..it would be fabulous for my journal spreads. Thank you!!! Joie 💜🌿
Cool! I'm glad you've found a new idea :-)
This is an awesome idea! Thanks so much for this video! I love that you walk away and come back to see what you are creating in a different way. No rush! YEA!
I love 'no rush'! ;-)
Really lovely. Thanks for sharing your process.
I like the many different types of paper you’ve incorporated including your daughters spin art! The end result is beautiful. Thx for sharing your process.
Beautiful combination of colors and images. I also like the colors of your daughter's drawings.
Me too. And I've got a whole stack to play with. It will take me years to use them all up and I'm so happy about that ;-)
Love these😊😊
Wonderful video Margarete! Such beautiful music to go along with it. Thank you for sharing.💖
Thank you, Jenny !! :-)
Thank you so much Amy, I really really love 💓 the way you explain the things you are doing, and how you created them. The master board is tot awesome and stunning and gorgeous I really really love 💓 it. And when you’ve cut them up how different they seem then. They take on a life of their own. Wonderful tutorial as always you amaze me xxx Mags
Those are beautiful and you share your techniques very clearly.
Love these postcards tfs xx
Thanks, Carol :-)
Taking pics as you go. Great advice! Thanks.
Great idea. I'd never heard or seen a collaged masterboard before.
Very beautiful collage-art. I love the layouts and pops of colors.
Love how you did these. They are all beautiful!
These are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Margarete! Your collage work is beautiful and this was such a helpful tutorial. Thank you for sharing what you look for in pulling your pieces together...
You're very welcome, Nancy! Thanks for watching :-)
Beautiful idea and video. Love this, Margarete! 💚
Beautiful work. I love the combination of colors and designs. Thanks for sharing your inspiration
So many great suggestions on collaging these postcards. I especially liked the idea of walking away or putting it aside for a different perspective. Glad I found your challenges and channel through Wendy Mason's channel. Collaging has always been an issue with me and feel you maybe the one to help me understand it better. Thank you.
These are fabulous! Thanks for sharing.
it turns out so pretty, yo made me cry when cutting the $1 cuban bill, oh jesus, thats a collectible piece from my country, i have them saved in a pocket with some others around the world, thanks for sharing!
These are gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing your process.
Aww I was so hoping you would show the gluing of the.paped bitz. Bummer!!!
I just used gluestick :-) That's it.
Thank you for this! Beautiful postcards and instructions are nice and clear. Can't wait to try it myself now!
I love your work!!! Very helpful to see the step by step process.TFS
Thanks, Leslie! And I'm glad you found it useful :-)
I love the way you just took pieces of paper tore them up and placed them in varieties of positions. A great inspiration for using some scraps and 12 x 12 kits that I have here. Sometimes I have no clue on where to start because some of the sides are beautiful and I don't know which side to choose at times 🙄 this gives me a lot of inspiration thank you!
I'm so glad you got some good ideas! :-)
Great idea for all the scraps we have laying around!!! Thanks for sharing.
Yes! Definitely a great way to use up scraps.
These post cards turned out ver pretty.
Just love what you did. I think I will try this 💚❤️
Great ideas. I love the spin art in your projects. And with a cat who loves to lay on my lay outs, taking a picture was very helpful. Thank you.
Glad the idea of picture taking helps :-)
Super ideas and tips!! I think you hit the nail on the head with balance; I quilt and it seems to follow suit there as well. I also agree on leaving something be awhile and come back, its hard to do sometimes once you are in the mode of creating but it can make a huge difference later..
It can be hard to walk away and come back. It gets easier the more you do it :-)
I undersrand the need to conserve time, but i would have liked to seen the gluing bits. Lovely masterboard.
That was so informative and helpful. I loved the way it turned out. Thank you
Beautiful...
So cool...thank you for the video. Makes me want to try spin art too!
Margarete, these are beautiful. Thank you so much for showing this technique, very helpful. I certainly will be trying it. :)
Super! You'll have fun creating one, for sure :-)
Gorgeous! I’ve been wanting to do one of these and now I have some direction! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! So glad it's helpful :-)
Thanks Must try.
OMG they turned out amazing ❤️❤️ absolutely love them ❤️❤️ thank you so much for sharing 😘 I just subscribed .. love your work
Thanks, Dana! I appreciate it :-)
I love your hint for leaving something for a while, walking away and coming back to it with a fresh perspective. It's so true for collage and life as well! Collage master boards are awesome. Sometimes I do these when my pile of scraps gets totally out of control, or I sometimes do it at the end of a project (like a journal) to create matching embellishments (like clusters, pockets, and the like). I have never thought of doing postcards, though, so I will give that a try! I really enjoyed seeing your process and your clear explanation of how you approached this project. Thank you for sharing this video!
Thanks so much for your comments, Dawn. I hadn't thought to do a masterboard with leftover project scraps, with the purpose of matching the project I had just worked on. That's such a good idea!
Really like the idea and will try it 😊
Awesome, Thurid! I hope you like doing it too.
Hello Margarete, new subbie here from the UK. I'm so pleased to have stumbled across this video. Your masterboard is absolutely gorgeous! I love how the postcards turned out and whoever received them would have been delighted! I did some spin art a few years ago but they weren't awfully successful. I still have them. Why haven't I ever thought to cut them into smaller pieces? Doh! Lol. I'm so looking forward to stalking your channel! Tfs. Hugs,Dee xox
Thanks for much for watching, Bettsy!! :-)
They are really beautiful! Thanks for sharing your process! I would like to try making a master board sometime too. Hoping you are well!!
Thanks, Juliana :-) I'd love to see you try one. I know you've got all kinds of interesting papers and would make a fabulous masterboard. Go for it! :-)
Aren't master boards fun to make?! Love yours and your daughters splat art pieces!
Magnifique
Merci beaucoup ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Margarete......I loved this video and thanks so much for creating this. Your storyboard is phenomenal and I think that is my next attempt. I too have to take a photo of my work because once I remember one piece my mind plays tricks on me, good suggestion. Also, I never thought of stamping on a scrap and then adding it back to the piece, I’m so glad I saw this. I have ruined pieces because I’m not a great stamper and this will help me a lot. I love the back postcard stickers too, I’ll have to check into that. I felt the postcards for the swap were to thick, so please let me know when you receive them, I used a thicker card stock for them. I so admire all your work and just love how you encourage everyone to be their best. ❤️❤️❤️ Oh........the spin art is beautiful. I can remember going to the fairs and making spin art all the time. I love it and so happy to see your daughter making these for you. It adds so much to the design....I may have to find one and start making some for myself. !!!!! ♥️
Thanks so much for watching, Barbie! I got your postcards and they are great. So well done! They aren't too thick. I will use a "forever" rather than the postcard stamp, and it will be fine. I'm glad you got some good ideas from this video. Masterboards are so fun to make! :-)
Thanks for doing the video. I’ve been wanting to do one of these, but just didn’t know where to start. This is very helpful. And these are gorgeous. I recognize that bill😊
Yes! You sent me that one, Nan. I was thinking of you when I used it. I hope you don't mind that I tore it up :-)
No, I think it is great you used it! I don’t mind at all, I think it looks great on your master board. I gave it to you to use as you please. I’m actually honored that something I gave you was used in one of your beautiful pieces of art
like to cut masterbord to cards..... makes sense to me =)
This was SO HELPUL. I have learned a lot and now think that I know where to start. I have so much of those paper scraps, 12x12 pads that I have leftovers, and now I have an idea how to play with them. I like your daughter's spin art, her in particular. I do acrylic pour myself, but not this type. Does your daughter have a YT channel I can see, or if she doesn't, someone of her friends who do the same type have it? I would appreciate it. I looked on YT, people do a lot of spins but not the same. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I didn't record my daughter creating spin art, but I took photos and wrote a post about it here: www.margaretemiller.com/blog/not-enough-time-for-art?rq=spin%20art
Neat
You are so talented! I love your informational video! Thank you so much for sharing! Do you ever scan or copy your master boards for use in other projects?
Thanks, Cathy :-) No, I don't scan them. I should think about that in the future :-)
Spin art!! I still remember making those as a kid I was just recently talking to my sister about it do they still sell those machines??!
The one my daughter has came from a Kiwi Crate, which is a STEM-based subscription box. It's kind of like a monthly education kit. I'm not sure where to buy them, actually.
I love, love this! I fell in love with your art on Pinterest. Then here you are on YT. You are so inspiring. Could you give me a link to the post card stickers that you found on Amazon please? XO

This is delightful. I had not heard of spin art! Watching you create this is fascinating. Now can you tell me the name of the music playing while you work?
Thanks, Sallee! Spin art is something I remember from my childhood and I'm glad my 10-year-old likes to do it a well. The music is "Ascending the Vale" by Kevin MacLeod, and that reminds me, I need to put credit for that in my comments below the video. Thanks for the reminder.
Wonderful video. Very interesting, I’ve never heard of these “boards” before. What kind of glue do you use to allow them to be actually be sent thru the post ? Thank you !
I use regular glue sticks, Cathie. I just make sure I put on the glue generously :-)
Love this! Do you not coat the top with anything (eg: Mod Podge) or did I miss it?
No coating for me, but it's a personal choice. I like to see the papers in their natural state 😉
I love them and want to do this myself. Do they hold up in the mail? Thanks for a great lesson.
Yes, they hold up just fine :-)
Do you ever use a light coat of gesso to drive some of the too bright bits into the background? I do that a lot so my collage background doesnt compete with my focal image.
I've never tried that, Carol. I'd love to see an example and what that looks like. It's certainly an interesting idea.
I’m enjoying your video very much. I have a question: what are ATC’s?
ATC stands for artist trading card. They are the size of baseball trading cards - 2.5 x 3.5 inch pieces of art, that are never sold, but can be given away, or, usually, traded with other artists. The small size is a lot of fun!
Hi Margarete. I was watching your master board video And I spotted the bank note from Cuba. How did you find it? I was born in Cuba and I haven’t been there in 59 years. Jose Marti is a great Cuban hero and very talented poet. I was wondering if you had more and if you could send me a photo copy of one. You would make my day, month, years.
Hi Carrie, a friend send the Cuban banknote to me. I only had one, and I used it in that masterboard. Have you checked Ebay? You should be able to find one there. Good luck!
@@MargareteMiller thank you.
What to you seal them with so that when you mail them, they don't get ruined?
I don't seal them, actually. I love "naked" paper. I just make sure that my pieces are glued down really well.
@@MargareteMiller if you were going to seal what would you use ? I don’t like modge podge because it can stay sticky
did you mention what you used to adhere the pieces?
I use regular glue stick. Just put it on generously.
You mentioned a company you get double sided tape from dyso...I cannot find them can you give me a lin k or website
Hi Rebekah, here's the link for Daiso. I've actually never had a look at their site, but if you can order online, that might work out great! www.daisojapan.com/
How did your daughter make the spin art, please?
She made the spin art in a box kit. We ordered it online. :-)
Please, please can you help me clear up the 'contention' which seems to arise .... between the two terms? Are 'Marsterboards' and 'Collage Art Sheets'.... considered to be the same thing?
Hi, I have never heard the term "Collage Art Sheet" before, but it's certainly possible to have 2 terms for the same thing. You are probably in a better position to tell me if they are the same or not :-)
@@MargareteMiller - I am very persuaded that they are!.... very similar...but I have since found that the Masterboards seem to include.... Art.... stamping etc... whilst in it's original form.... Collage Art Sheets... would just mean: pieces of paper specifically..... glued together to create a larger piece of paper! (hope this makes sense.... it is simply how I have made it 'understandable'.... for myself! )
being new, learning as I go,,,I keep hearing ATC's,,,,what is an ATC? I'm sure it's such a simple term, I just can't figure it out.
I heard you mention an ATC can you tell me what that is?
Hi Rhonda, it's a card, the same size as a regular playing card (you can even trace one to get the right size). On that card you put some art on it: collage, mixed media, etc. On the back you sign it and say where you are from. After that you can trade them with other artists. Masterboards are great for making ATCs.
What are ATCs, please?
Google it, please. You will find a better definition than what I could give you. 🙂
ATC?
artist trade card. Google it 😉
