How to create easy Book Page Art
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Just another way to utilise those old book pages we seem to have so many of when we junk journal or repurpose books. Pull out that drawer of rubber stamps and get using them to create your own book page art.
Remember you can stamp anything not just flowers, mushrooms and butterflies.
Happy Crafting

Thank you, Ceri. I never thought about doing this on my book pages. It’s a great idea to mass make a stack of them. I like the idea of pulling them out as I have the time. I can’t always spend an hour or two in my craft room and these are quick and easy. You’ve inspired me!
Fabulous
What a fabulous idea…so beautiful and interesting… thank you… I’m eager to make some and love your teaching style🤗
I've been trying to find new ways to incorporate my art supplies into my journals. Thanks for this simple idea!
You’re welcome
Thank you Ceri; just love this video and the ideas you have. One thing I’ve taken away from it is that I can try and stop the perfection and just be! You’ll know how hard that is though but I will try!! Some of the things you say make me laugh as I think “oh, I would’ve said that“ hehe 😊 Janey xx
I still struggle with perfection but I’m getting better.
Love this idea!!!! I when rummaging around found all the supplies you used. Yay!!! Go me! Tonight while watching tv I plan to make a bunch of these. Thanks for the inspiration.
Have fun
If you use matte medium or medium gloss Mod Podge isn't really good to use I hate to say it doesn't really dry
Love it. Very clever. You are a continuing source of inspiration. Thank you.
You are so welcome
This is fantastic. I love it!
Beautiful! I must try this. Thank you for sharing you time and talents!
You are so welcome
Another fabulous video. You are such a good teacher/instructor, and your work is gorgeous! I love your attention to detail; everything is finished beautifully, even when it's not perfect (most certainly is excellent!) Nothing you do in your videos is uninteresting, and I'm always sad when your videos end. I've been binge watching, just about every day. What will I do once I've caught up?! 😮😁🤭🤗
There should always be more on the way
Absolutely love these!❤
Thank you! 😊
New to your channel, new to journaling, but I like your projects very much and will be trying to recreate many of them. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel.
Just what I needed - great tutorial, as always - thank you
You’re welcome Hazel
Very Lovely! T Y! 😊
I love love your work. You have inspired me to no end. My mind is full of ideas now. When I'm painting something I sop up the extra paint onto plain paper and save it. Now I know what to do witb them. Thanks.
You’re welcome Lucy.
And now I will never not do this! Enjoying you from Oklahoma!
Fantastic
Thanks for sharing this way of painting on book page s. It looks amazing.
Have fun
Lovely, perfectly lovely. I have a can of Krylon workable fixative in the closet that is begging to be used lol. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this tutorial ceri. Clear step by step instructions make it easy to follow and definitely encourage us to try .
Such fun
I like to buy old books from the thrift or charity shops - very inexpensive and I can make sure I m getting something that the original owner is obviously finished with and I pick out something I don’t think many people would wants so my own books don’t have to quake in fear, haha😂
Is that how those piles get on my desk! Always fighting with the piles of project excess….try to clean it up, but get sucked into creating something from the scraps and leftovers instead! Loved this idea, will definitely be trying it, thanks for sharing the process for us newbies!
I am loving gesso. I use it on shiny cardboard - like pasta or cereal box cardboard - and it gives me a great glueable surface. I'm going to try this stamp/paint soon!
What a fabulous technique. Thank you Ceri. I cannot wait to start making these. The fussy cut butterfly immediately sold me . Your videos are the best!
Great tutorial!! Thank you so much for sharing. I will definitely give this a try. New subbie 😊
Thank you and welcome.
Wow! You make this look so easy. Thanks for the reminder about being perfect. I needed that! Hugs, treen
Hi Treen, these are so useful and a good way to take a time out of a busy day.
I don’t have many stamps but I was wondering if it would work with a black floral sticker.
I think it should but you’d have to check how the paint reacts with the ink on the stamp.
I meant sticker not stamp, sorry
Thank you for sharing this. Very informative.
Ceri, Loved this video. Looks like fun and easy to make. Thank you!
You’re welcome.
Like this idea. Can’t wait to try it.
great technique i enjoyed watching this, what is the name of the product you rubbed over the finished piece ?
Tim Holtz micro distress glaze, it feels like a wax
@@CeriGriffiths awesome thanks
I really like and appreciate your channel. The artwork is interesting and in spring. I appreciate your openness and honesty and hope you continue broadcasting. Thank you for giving many hours of entertaining and inspiring entertainment.
I appreciate that Linda thank you
Oh I love this, what a beautiful project , I can't wait to try this, Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
I gave book pages a try with painting and didn't like it...but now I think I will try this with the gesso and tissue! Good idea! Painting, to me is very calming and makes for a project that is easy to tote around!
Sorry book pages didn’t work for you but at least you gave it a go and found it wasn’t your style. Thank you.
I was a bit stuck and lacking inspiration...not any more!!!
What a beautiful project yet "simple".
I just love book pages and will definitely give this a try.
Thanks for sharing 🤗🕊️
Wonderful
loving this so much.
Love you Ceri. Thanks for giving me inspiration for today’s time at my crafting. Will work on using some stamped images and paint. Blessings from Betty in Ohio.😉
Thank you Betty, have fun.
Thank you so much for all your help!
Loved this technique. Having literally just started attempting a journal this is a must. Loved your comment about accepting excellence from perfection. I have made cards (just for myself and friends) and have been told I see with a technical eye as everything has to be accurate or binned! So I am hoping the journalling will be more relaxing and casual in approach. Some wonderfully creative people on these newly found videos.
Linda I fully understand, it’s taken me a long time to accept things that are not perfect and I still struggle some days, but I now view the small flaws and unique touches.
absolutely lovely.

Ceri, I have been looking for an artist like you for years. For a long time now, I have wanted to make an art journal but not known where to start, at last I do. This morning I have watched 3 of your videos, I am so happy you have made them and I discovered them today quite by accident. I have learnt so much already, I can't thank you enough. Lots of love Dot x
Dot thank you and welcome to my channel.
Ceri, you make me laugh, delight and inspire me! Thank you, thank you! I've been looking for something "new" to brighten up my journaling efforts and I do believe this is it!♥😄🖌
Wonderful
Gorgeous. Thanks for explaining each step. Tina, Al's wife
Thanks for watching!
What a lovely idea! I absolutely love this technique! I’m new to your channel and I will be watching future videos! Tyfs!
Thanks so much! 😊 and welcome
Love your pages Ceri! Just a small tip, use absorbent ground.
It will mute the background and when it is dry , it creates the texture of watercolor paper .
I think it is magic in my journals....
Wilma I’ve not heard of that I’ll have to see if I can find out more.
Thank you! I love how you put it on a tag. Fabulous!! I love your thought process. As always, thanks for sharing 🙏💕
Also, FYI … if you get word search puzzle books… many times they have number searches throughout the puzzle books.
Great idea thank you.
You make such lovely art, Ceri. Just watching you craft helps me relax (I watch you while I exercise and can't craft myself 😊)
Oh thank you
Thank you from Canada! 'm enjoying your series... just found you on TH-cam. You are very inspiring. QUESTION: I like your application of random numbers. What kind of book would I look for to get my own supply of numbers? Please keep the videos coming. I subscribed to your channel and I would like to see more to help me get started scrapbooking with my two little Granddaughters. Thanks again!
Hello Eric and welcome to my channel. As far as numbers go I don’t normally look for any specific type of book I just always check when I’m harvesting a book or magazine for anything numbers. If you’re looking for books with the most numbers in try looking for mathematic, engineering, science style books or student reference guides, I’ve also harvested numbers from advertisements in telephone directories, but to be honest when you start to look for them you tend to notice them everywhere, even the ends of bus tickets and raffle tickets. Have fun creating with your granddaughters.
Ceri, thank you for thinking of us newbies!! Absolutely wonderful and useful
You are so welcome!
I loved this video!
Hi from Victoria, Australia again Ceri. I Love this idea as i am rubbish at art but i think i can manage this technique. I watched your video of your challenge with Gayle to use 5 things for a project Your resulting artwork was wonderful. I was enthralled with the story of your journey through life. What a full and interesting life you have led!! Thank you, thank you!
Thank you Diane I’m happy you found my video interesting and entertaining.
Ceri, I love your channel! First time watching! Love it! Feels like home!
Thank you Sue and welcome to my channel.
Thank you for this video. You inspired me to use rubber stamps on papers I had previously painted with my gel plate. Then color them with markers and cut them out to use later as focal points. So glad I found your video last night. The final result is so cute!! Thanks again 🌸💕
You are so welcome
These are just beautiful Ceri! I love everything about them, and your process to make them. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us! 😍
Happy you liked it thank you.
Love this one Ceri. You make everything easy for me to understand and feel like I could really do this. Thank you so much.
Wonderful news Lisa.
Okay so I tried this last night. Wow it didn’t dawn on me how many steps this would take and the drying time. So I didn’t get a bunch done. Let’s see if I have this right..
Book page paint lightly white acrylic paint and let dry.
On tissue stamp image and let dry as well.
On book page put glue and attach tissue paper and flatten.
Clear gesso on top of tissue and let dry.
Paint stamped image.
What was the last step….a wax of sorts? I wonder if regular car wax would work! 🤷🏻♀️I’m going to try it and see cuz I have a lot of it.
Yup you got it.
Love it, thank you
I'm that newbie !! I want to tell you how much I've enjoyed your vids & learned sooooo much. Have binged on them since I discovered you (house work be da@&ed!!) Thank you so much
You’re welcome Nikki
Love this Keri! Such a creative way to make a tag or just make a beautiful ephemera.
Thank you
You are definitely "Mr Inspiration" those tins are the perfect answer. Are they from Amazon? Thanks Ceri. I could watch and listen to you for hours.
They’re either from amazon or eBay.
You are such fun Ceri
Some of your supplies never heard of. I really enjoyed this. Thank uso much. First man I seen and u are great.
Wanda it’s possibly because in the UK I don’t have the same suppliers as other countries.
Thanks so much for showing us this technique! Would you mind if I gave this a try for my channel(with credit to you of course)?
I have no problem with you making a video. Have fun
Ceri, I do love watching your videos. Your awesome. I was just making some vintage tags the other day. I was needing more ephemera. You did it for me. Ty so much.
You are so welcome, I’m so happy my video helped.
Hello Ceri the crafter!!! I have just found your channel, love love love your work. Tfs
Thank you Selina and welcome.
New to you. Such fabulous ideas!! Can't wait to try this. Thank you
Thank you and welcome to my channel
I am going to try this but I am wondering why you use the tissue paper? I've watched the video twice but maybe I missed the point. Is it to keep the watercolor from bleeding? Why not stamp the book page, then gesso the book page directly? The use of tissue paper might be an important hint I need to know. That's why all the questions about it.
Sandy the use of tissue is just my version, I added the layer of tissue to knock the text back a little so its not so dominant however a thin layer of white gesso would do the same thing.
Gracias! Muy buenos videos, sólo que me gustaría estubieran traducidos al español,
Gracias
Love this video. thank you for sharing...Can't wait to give these a go... so inspiring
Have fun!
Love this. Because of my tri-focal glasses I have to stand up to line things up straight. It seems to help ( me anyway)
Thank you, I always work standing up to create I just find it easier for some reason.
I wear verifocal glasses too. Do you have an issue with depth perception when you wear your glasses? Maybe it’s just me? 🤷♀️. These pages look great! 🥰
I struggle in a few different ways with my vari focals but I’m getting used to dealing with them. Thank you.
I heard somewhere...finished is better than perfect...I think it was a quilter that said it but it works for any handmade items
Lol….I’ve a few quilt tops in my sewing cupboard that I’ve never finished because I was trying for perfect so they may be right.
Where can we obtain the flowerblock wooden stamps please Ceri. I love this idea.
Susanne, unfortunate I’m not able to remember, I’ve collected stamps for any many years and a lot of them come from auction sites where I’ll bid on a job lot of used stamps gambling on there being a few gems in the box. When I’m filming if I notice a makers name on the block I try to share that but other than that I don’t know where or when I got them.
Love this
Thank you for sharing. I never thought of this idea or have not seen it done before. I recently got the full set of inktense pencils and I am going to try it out with them. Thank you for sharing your creative spirit with us. 😊
Sounds like you’re got a wonderfully creative project ahead of you.
Brilliant❣️
I appreciate that you keep newbies like me in mind. When the video ends I leave with the feeling, “I can do that!” Not “I wish I could do that.” You are a very effective instructor.
Thank you Dawn and I hope I continue to create achievable projects.
Love it, never saw this before. It was a great tutorial. Thank you💕
Thank you
I really like watching you create,you always inspire me!
Oh thats so kind, thank you.
Beautiful. This beginner thanks you.
You’re welcome
Fabulous .. so enjoy all your videos and ideas. Never thought I would drool over book pages lol now they are my first choice
Thank you Maureen.
Love this! As always, thanks for sharing!!!
You’re welcome
You Ceri. I cannot wait to try this. You have inspired me!
Have fun!
Nice job!
What does a person do with the journals, just craft in them? I really want to know.
I have a video filmed, its a coffee with Ceri where I discuss this topic it will launch on the 3rd of April so watch out for that one.
That was great, I love it! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
You are so welcome Sheila.
Thank you I’m a newby just starting out.
Welcome Paula and just remember to have fun whilst you create.
I think I can do this.What kind d of paints do you use I have no paints and don't know what brand to buy?
Dorothy, I used a watercolour pallet of paints I purchased in my local dollar/pound store, not need for expensive paints, you could even use water colour pencils, have a play and see what works best your you.
I’m new to your channel and am enjoying what you have to share.
Thank you and welcome
I h I love this idea!! Thank you for sharing with us. Xo
Youre welcome Kelly
I will be doing this.. Thank You!
Wonderful!
My clear gesso is a cheap one and it's slightly gritty
So is mine and the grit is perfect as it gives other mediums something to attach themselves to.
Ceri, I quite enjoyed learning this technique
Wonderful.
The best thing for your dry throat is Honey, sip off from a teaspoon!
Oh yes and I’m a big honey fan.
Usually, I take a very dim view of the current trend of tearing books apart to use in collage. With that said, this project is perfectly charming! The first example, with the mushrooms is particularly appealing. Some of the books on my shelves are now quaking in fear! 😉Thank you!
Thank you, I really love this..
Thank you Patricia
Love this, what a great idea!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! 😊
Amazing tutorial, thank you
Thank you
Great ideas. Shall definitely do this.
Thank you
I have one of those slot punches there great for ribbon.
That certainly are, thank you
Mi piace tantissimo! Ti ho scoperto da poco e mi sono subito iscritta. Ho molto da imparare. Grazie!
Grazie
Thank you for great video
You’re welcome Paula
