How I turn old book pages into focal points for junk journaling

- A little while ago Amy at Crafty Cat released a video about creating simple springtime cards, I’ll link it below, after I watched the video it inspired me to try out one of my mixed media techniques on book pages. It was very successful and a great way to use up your glueing pages or pages from a gutted book.
WARNING, if your paint is too wet or you sponge on too much paint your pages are likely to ripple and distort so make sure you dab the excess paint off your sponge before painting your book page, also paints of a thicker consistency cause less problems.

Catching up on all your videos. TFS! You and Gayle are my crafting gurus!!
Yay! Thank you Linda.
I'm new to the JJ world. So glad I found you. Love watching you create. You are fun to watch and you explain things so well. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with us. Blessings
You’re welcome Margaret
I am thrilled to have found you! So glad you did that collaboration with P.M. Studio. This technique is brilliant. Thanks for flipping through the box. I got very excited to see the gold shapes. As you say they would be perfect for adding a bit of opulence. TFS. 🥰🙏
Thanks so much
I love these, such character to add to a project. Thanks for sharing your expertise and fun ideas!
You’re welcome
What a unique way to add another dimension to a journal. The possibilities are endless! Came across some fab stencils in a charity shop a good while back. They are for stencilling patterns, with icing sugar, or whatever, on top of cakes. Your wonderful idea will have me spending a few happy hours using them. Thank you so much Ceri. Keep up the good work. Love from Ireland.
Thank you Noreen, I’ve heard Ireland is beautiful but I’ve never made it across the sea from Wales....maybe one day.
Hauser is the name of Priscilla Hauser, a well known decorative painter who often appeared on HGTV years ago when they focused on craft shows. She also published books on the art and was featured in many craft magazines in the US. I think she was credited with 'creating' the shade of green that got her name. I was fortunate to take one of her classes years ago in Oklahoma.
Thank you I had heard her name but not known her history
Well, Ceri, this is just utter genius!! I am doing this asap, and sharing it with my daughter so she can too!! 🤩😁
Have fun!
This has been a very enjoyable and inspiring video. Thank you!
Sooooo wonderful!
This is a fresh and fantastic technique. I am not a card maker who makes cards because I need them. I absolutely love your creations. Thank you.🎨 💟 ✨
Thank you and you’re welcome.
Love this idea! Also, Hauser green is named after Priscilla Hauser who is an American decorative painter who was very popular decades ago.
Thank you for the information I'll share that in one of my future videos so we all know why its called Hauser green.
Will have to watch later.
Hi Ceri, I'm new to your channel. a little over a year ago my mom passed away and I stumbled upon junk journaling. I'm always looking for ideas and inspiration. I've been binge watching you and I have to say ❤❤❤❤😊 loving you and your craft. Thank you, please keep doing what your doing.
Thank you Connie and welcome to my channel
I have to say you come up with some pretty good ideas
👍👍Thanks for sharing these lovely tips for using up book pages!
Have fun with them, thank you
Fantastic ideas. Wonderful way to create original ephemera. Thank you
Thank you
This was wonderful. So many ideas in one video. Thank you for sharing💜🐞
You’re welcome
Ceri, I like your filing system for your stamps. Thanks for another great tutorial
You’re welcome.
Thanl you for sharing this with us. I love this idea to use book pages and the multi layers of interest on it.
Glad it was helpful!
These are fabulous!🤩 I think I’m going to make sure I have some pages ready to be painted like this later on 😊
Have fun!
Beautiful technique Ceri! ❤ Thank you for this video. 😊
You’re welcome Sylvia
Wow how fun this is!
They’re so useful too.
I am SO excited about this! So cool, Ceri! I miss my mixed media life sometimes, so this will give me a bit of a play that can then use in my journals. Thanks so much for sharing, my friend! And, YES, plenty of inspiration! You’re the best! Love and hugs! ❤️
Have fun! I love making these and use them so often even if I don't stamp on them they can be a pop of colour to layer blind a label. Love and hugs.
Very cool Ceri, tyvm
Hugs. Maggie ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
You’re welcome
You are always a Joy to watch❤️Great Ideas❤️🙏🏻🥰🎉
Thank you
You can use your die cut scraps for the stencils. Tip:Example is the butterfly stamp-you see the over stamp around the edges, I trim it off with an exact-o knife, then I don't get over stamping. Thanks for the fun project. I will make these. I can finally dust off my stamps. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you I do love my stamps.
Love those. So useful. I am going to make some today.
Wonderful
Ceri, this was brilliant ! thanks so much for showing the technique. I garbed a book sheet and started trying it out even before the end of the video ! It is certainly addictive .. binge watching all past videos.. hugs from Canada

You’re welcome
I tried this last night! I had so much fun. I used watercolor paints and then stenciled over the whole dictionary page with black ink. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome
I've been going through all your videos since I am a newbie subscriber. I came across this video and immediately set myself in doing some and just fell in love with it!!! I have literally spent the whole afternoon playing with different colors and found stamps I didn't know I had. Despite it being late, thanks for this wonderful video!
So pleased I’ve inspired you to spend a joyful day creating and discovering forgotten supplies.
Thank you
You're welcome
Wow Ceri you have given me so much inspiration with your videos, don't think I have enough hours in a day!! I have lots of paints, a few dies and lots of stamps that I haven't used. I don't have any stencils but I am going to use my dies to create them so I know now the possibilities are endless for creating unique pieces. Thank you for making these wonderful videos. xx
You’re welcome, Thank you
This is really cool and I know I will be making some. I'm a new subbie for you. Hope you have a great day💕🐬
Thank you JoAnn and welcome.
Love this, what paints do my children have...
Lol.....
love it, my head is spinning with possibilities. I'm going to see if my local thrift shop will keep (otherwise useless) old books for me. I have acrylic paint and I have stencils, stamps and inks.... I can see myself using these for cards. Thanks Ceri!
You’re welcome
Just a fun idea. Thank you for sharing 😊
Your welcome
Thank you for this project! I have some of those shaped stencils from scrapbooking days! Now I can get them out and have fun!
Have fun.
Really enjoyed this video and can't wait to make some. I picked up a stencil pack at the thrift store: squares, circles, ovals, rectangles etc so I feel like step one is already done.
Wonderful, have fun with it.
Love this project!
Thank you
Thanks for this! It's great to learn new ways of using the abundance of book pages many of us have. 😊
Hi&hugs to you and Biscuit. (my phone now predicts Biscuit after "you and") 😁
Thank you......love that Biscuit is predictive.
I thought you'd get a kick out of that.
❤️
Thank you
😊
Thank you for watching.
Perhaps hauser green is named for Priscilla Hauser
I found out afterwards it was, thank you
👍🏻☺️
Thank you
Priscilla Hauser......a painter and crafter.
Thank you Barbara.
Ceri- one question. What do you use to mount your stamps on? I like your idea of putting like with like
Hi Renee, I mount my stamps in different away some I don't even bother mounting them, if I have stamps I don't like which are wood mounted I'll remove the old stamp and then stick a new one on in its place, If stamps arrive and they're just red rubber sometimes I'll mount them onto foam mount but a lot of the time I just use a little glue stick and attach them to an acrylic block for use then wash the glue off afterwards...........I'm not a good stamping person, I love them but don't always treat them well.
@@CeriGriffiths hi Ceri. Thanks for that info. I realize that I asked the wrong question. I’m more interested in how you store your cling stamps. I remember you saying that you store like with like but do you use card stock to put them on or….???? Sorry to be a bother 😔
