Arty Ephemera from Unused 12'x12'

- I'm currently working on an arty journal of my brayer roll off sheets for a friend and as such needed to make some ephemera pieces. I'd already completed one background when I realised I should really turn on the camera and share the process with my subscribers as it may be new to some of you.
I first saw this process a few years ago by Julie Fei Fan Balzer, it took some digging but I found it and here is the original video: • Julie Fei Fan Balzer h...
This is a great way to make fun and unique backgrounds out of unwanted 12x12 card stock.
Happy Crafting

Really enjoy your videos. Thank you
Thank you for another fabulous tutorial, Ceri. As for Fe fi fo fum, I think you're referring to Joie de Fi. She's amazing!
yep thats what I think too
It was Julie Fei Fan Balzer, it took some digging but I found it and here is the original video: th-cam.com/video/xEWsO7qR0Bg/w-d-xo.html

I really enjoy your unplanned, "let's just see what happens" attitude of this group. It's wonderfully freeing.
I’m willing to try most things and find a few surprises along the way.
Ceri, you are not only an amazing artist but a fantastic teacher. You really know how to inspire. I get so much out of you walking through your process.
I find you & Luise Henzel really are masters in teaching & the inspiration you both bring pushes to stretch my creative wings.
I admire you a lot Ceri and I want to sincerely thank you for sharing your talent & time.
Thank you Julie, I truly love what I do and I’m lucky to be able to share skills with others whether they’re originally mine or helping promote other creators.
That was a great idea. I can cover that scrapbook paper I'm not too fond of with book pages and scraps, paint over it and do some mark makinging and stenciling over that for journaling cards or tags. Thank you Ceri for sharing your ideas. I enjoy watching your creative process. You are inspiring me to step outside my comfort zone a little more. ❤
I love how you just toned down the stock card. I’m learning so much from you Ceri. Your voice did go silent for a sec
I may have edited a background noise out, thank you.
What a lucky friend who is going to get a beautiful art journal from you. I love those pages in the book. You are the most amazing crafter and you amaze me with each video how you choose your colours. Just a background page of yours is absolute art work for me.
Thank you Susan.
Process videos are vastly interesting to me., and you are very pleasant to listen to.
Thank you
I have admired the backgrounds you and others do. I had decided I would never be able to produce the beauty I saw. After watching and listening, I am so inspired. I really think I can do this with sucess. You are a magnificent teacher. I so thank you. 😊
Thank you, just be aware not everything comes out beautiful I’ve made plenty of mud during my gel print journey and still do.
Near Chicago. Thanks so much for your wonderful ideas. I got some 1930's damaged books from the library (indoor) dumpster. I volunteer there. Tina, Al's wife
That is awesome!
Hi Ceri. Another great video for our pleasure. I feel the same way about doodling. I always think mine looks bad or not good enough. Your doodling is great. I especially like the writing. You always inspire me Ceri. Thanks for all you do. I'm so glad you turned on your camera. 🙂
Thank you and I’m pleased I turned the camera on also.
I have so much paper that I don't like. I can now do this to make cool art. Thank you!!
I realize this was a bit ago but I’ve just come across the video. Marvelous! I am anticipating a long afternoon of decorating pages. The doodling is so much fun. Thanks Ceri. I always learn so much❤
You’re welcome Jayne
I really enjoyed hearing about your peregrinations through the art world as you did your collaging. Thank you for your generosity of mind
You are so welcome!
I don’t comment on your vids enuf ! As I say to Gayle … I watch her in the am and you in the pm :)) I always enjoy your work and am inspired :)) thank you ! 🌻
Thank you, Gayle is my hero.

You are so welcome Venita
Nobody else’s brayer offs look as good as yours!!
Thank you
I Ceri. Thank you so very much for doing all the research in trying to locate the Andy Skinner. I did find it in stockade supplies. I just had to have industrial in my stash. Love it Happy crafting
Great news.
So very glad to have found you!you are truly a Luv 🥰. From Diana in Las Cruces, NM, USA
Thank you Diana.
Loved it.❤ I’m much inspired by you 😊
Thank you
Amazing Ceri. Can't wait to try these techniques. Thank you. You are so talented.
Thank you
Great video. Very inspiring and great job doodling! Way to get out of your comfort zone lol I’m impressed.
Thanks so much! 😊
This was fantastic. As a scrapbooker, I can see me using this technique not only for the embellishments, but also for some backgrounds. I learned quite a bit from this video!
Wonderful new Donna.
Backgrounds are so fun to make. Yours are fabulous. Gayle is how I found out about you. Thanks to both of you. Your art is just amazing to my brain. TFS
Yes they are and Gayle is my hero we promote and support each other whenever we can.
I love the way you keep your stencils! I ran down to local thrift store and found an album that works great for me. So very happy to be able to see them quickly.
It’s this only method I’ve ever found that truly works for me and offers some protection for my stencils.
Such interesting backgrounds!
I really enjoyed your video and plan to view them all. A feat learning experience. I fell in love with Wales when I visited. It's a lovely country.
Thank you Elinore.
Excellent!

Really enjoyed the video! Beautiful artwork 😍
Thank you
Beautiful Ceri. I love to scrape paint!
One of my favourite techniques too.
I love your idea of the tag template for sizing. 💜💜💜
Not my original idea and I couldn’t tell you where I first saw it but I use it all of the time.
Ceri I've just happened to see this tutorial I've throughly enjoyed this thank you so much such inspiration loved this tfs.👌❤
You are so welcome
Wonderful! I have a LOT of scrapbook paper that was given to me. Now I know how to use it up. Thank you…as always you are a wonderful teacher.

Thank you Heather
Thanks Ceri! The volume was great on this video and much appreciated! I really love your videos and your calm, confident manner. You have revived my interest in crafting. Debbie in Oregon, USA
Awesome news
I’m really loving your process videos! Sometimes I disagree with your choices, but within a couple of minutes, I’m saying to myself that was a good choice! Other times I still disagree, but your work as a whole looks so interesting, that I might be finding my own style and still appreciating your artistic eye…thank you for sharing 😊.
Thank you
Yes we all need to find our own style.
Ceri…your experience and learning are so evident. Everything you do or don’t do is purposeful…every color choice, every choice of brand, every tool, is chosen carefully. Such an education for me!
Thank you Susan, I’ve been creating art or arty pieces the whole of my life and I think we all gravitate to what works for us and stick with it, why try something new if what you’ve got works.
@@CeriGriffiths I think I will stick to what works for YOU👍.
Fun video Ceri and you have a nice bunch of tags started!
Yup but I’m gonna need more.
👍✌️🙏❤️✨ seeing this video is a great way to start my day 😀
Wonderful
I love it. Thanks for the tutorial. Greetings from westgermany.
You are so welcome and hi.
@@CeriGriffiths , Hi and thank you, have a good time! Sabine
Just watched this interesting video, Thank you for sharing and I really enjoy listening to you explain it so clearly ... Bless you and have a Great Crafting Day Ceri 😀💖🎨📙📘📗📒
I am always amazed when I watch your videos. Your art work is truly a amazing work of art. You are so talented. You have such a eye for color and placement. You always seem to know when to stop. When enough is enough. These pieces turned out so beautiful as always. I am definitely going to give this project a try.
Debbie, knowing when to stop is my biggest challenge I normally stop before I think I should as I’m scared of over doing it.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this video. I learnt heaps and my artistic bravery went up a notch.
Great news
Always enjoy watching you work! Good call on the waiting on the texture paste... I have almost messed up the blade on the cutter with it. 💖💕 Next package I am going to print out some f our printables.
Fabulous.
I must doodle more, great effect
You should
i just discovered your channel today and i'm already hooked! I love, how your art turns out, very pretty 😍 thank you for sharing it with me/ us 🥰 i like your style, also how you teach! greetings from switzerland! I'm now gonna binge watch your videos 😅
Thank you
Very nice. I really like the way the doodles turned out once cut up. I will definitely be trying something along these lines once I finish my current project.
Thank you, I think I just need more doodle practice.
I love the buttermilk! It's like unbleached titanium. Wonderful creamy color. I always keep that in my stash.
It’s becoming a firm favourite
Fantastic tutorial!!!! Love the hand doodling!!!!!! Like Anna Kitner, I think you are referring to Joie de Fi!!!!!!
It was Julie Fei Fan Balzer, it took some digging but I found it and here is the original video: th-cam.com/video/xEWsO7qR0Bg/w-d-xo.html
This makes me want to paint. I think i will start buying some and try because i have some papers i don't care for. I don't believe in throwing stuff away
Just an inexpensive set of small tubes of acrylic paint is a great way to start.
You and I share the math difficulties, but you make up for it in so many creative and wonderful ways. I love that you used “not so desirable” 12x12’s. I have a plethora of them, and you have given me an eye opening on ways to use them. This would be a great way to make tags/journaling card for the current swap in Makers! Thank you for showing this. Loving the use of pens, and I adore the Wonky nets stencil from them. It has made its way into many pieces for me. Well presented and demonstrated Ceri!
Thank you Lisa, yup my ugly 12x12 papers are a great source of material for my gel printing, i own them and wouldn’t use them for anything else. Very often I’ll search the sales bins for 12x12 because they’re cheaper than a pad of art paper and i love working in that size but you’re right I do cut them down to be covers and ephemera. Maybe next year I’ll try and organise a challenge where people revamp an ugly 12x12 page, it could be with any medium, maybe ill even see if P&M would be up for helping me do it. Mmmmmm, pause for thought there.
This is a great video, Ceri. I really love seeing your process and I've learned so much from you. The tags and pockets you did today are awesome. Thank you very much for sharing. ❤
You’re welcome, thank you
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Such a wonderful idea and I do have a few 12x12 that I don’t like!!😊
I think we all have a few.
My first tutorial on your channel & I ❤ how & what you created.
Thank you for sharing your process it was super inspirational & informative
Cheers from Australia 🐨 🐾
Thank you Faith and welcome to my channel.
I bought some cardstock years ago that I know I'll never use for the pattern. This will be a great project when I get a space cleared. 😆 LOL. You might enjoy some of Cat Hand's videos. She does small journals and projects but sometimes does lots of doodling. Very different style but worth a look. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and process!
Thank you I’ll have to check her out.
I found this very helpful. Thank you. However I did like the original paper you used !! There are many unused paper I have which need this method and FAB use for.
Have fun with it.
Thank you for showing a new way to use up what I call my BUPs (Butt Ugly papers!). I did wonder after the blue and pink layers that it was looking very a la baby colours - but I should know by to trust your instincts.
I'm saving this video as there are several references to other crafters!
Great news
Thank you the main inspiration was Julie Fei Fan Balzer, it took some digging but I found it and here is the original video: th-cam.com/video/xEWsO7qR0Bg/w-d-xo.html
Loved this, Ceri! I must say your doodling is fabulous! It tickled me to no end to see you doodle! Both papers turned out wonderful and then the ephemera…perfect! Love and hugs to you, dear friend! ❤️
Gayle I wish you’d have been with me because I would have handed them over to you to finish off as you’re far better at doodling than I am but. Think I should just do it more until it becomes natural. Thank you Gayle and much love.
❤️
Hi Ceri! Fantastic video. I really enjoyed watching the process. And even though I knew the how, there's always a surprise. When you went for the sunset types of colors on top of the pastels. But of course they were gorgeous!
Ì hope my tips on the master volume are helpful.
I hope they are too, thank you for the advice as you heard I did share it.
Dot from Derbyshire
What a joy it is Ceri to watch you make something which was nothing into something pretty, useful and unique. I always enjoy watching your videos although I don't always comment I do give you the thumbs up. Thank you once again for sharing. Lots of love from me, Dot x
Thank you Dot, comments are lovely but not always necessary, thank you for your support.
Ceri you are such an interesting fellow! You make all your videos so interesting & easy to learn something new. I was amazed at your transformation of "ugly" paper into a background that is a work of art with your creative use of colors, stencils & doodles. I tried you fake writing & was pleasantly surprised at my results. Thank you for being a great teacher & crafter & sharing your talent. I retired recently & just started my crafting journey.
Thank you Chris, enjoy your new journey.
Love the idea..going to do that …Thanks ..ñ
You’re welcome
Ceri , what a wonderful idea. It would be a great alternative for those of us who do not have Gelli plates. I think Anna is correct that it is Joie De Fi.
Actually Robin it was Julie Fei Fan Balzer, it took some digging but I found it and here is the original video: th-cam.com/video/xEWsO7qR0Bg/w-d-xo.html
Fun ephemera! Now I'm going to have to keep an eye on the comments to see if anyone figures out who the originator was. ;) I was happy to see you do some mark making (I almost mentioned that in your FB post the other day).
I hope you have a delightful day. I'm hoping to see sunshine tomorrow (5 days with clouds/rain which we needed - no rain today thankfully). Love & hugs to you & Biscuit
Darcy it was Julie Fei Fan Balzer, it took some digging but I found it and here is the original video: th-cam.com/video/xEWsO7qR0Bg/w-d-xo.html
@@CeriGriffiths impressive that you found it. I'll check her out. Thanks 😁
The woman your thinking of may be Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. This looks very much like one of her techniques. Loved your results - a great (and fun) way to use up those unused scrapbook papers.
Yes Janet you’re right it was Julie, I found the original video and put the link in the description box.
I love your tab corner tool. Definitely be interested in your stencils/masks. Hope you’re having a good October, your voice seemed a bit down. As always beautiful pieces you created for us. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, as you’ve seen by the last PM Artist Studio stream I’ve just launched my first new stencil design with them and there will be more releases as the year goes by and I hope to release new designs each month in 2023, as for my older designs they were made for me and I don’t have the cutting files or facilities to cut anymore but I’m using a lot of them as inspiration for the newer versions. Thank you for your interest and support.
I just ordered a gel monoprinting press plate because of you! It should arrive tomorrow. Well I just checked and now it’s not arriving until November 25th 😭
Fabulous, I’m not sure if you’ve seen this video but it will give you some basics to get started. th-cam.com/video/rV9Pbkwo5pI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=A3mQ4f8OXMw5x_g7
Great video! You explain things very well 😊 I've seen shabbydabbydoda make these, also she makes a master board book out of a old coloring book I think.... it's very fun and useful 👍
Yes Tina does great work.
💜💜💜
Thank you Amy
Ceri, I love the transformation you showed us today! A friend happened upon a great yard sale for paper crafters, and gave me a bunch of duplicate 12x 12 papers that will be getting some version of this. I really like your idea for a notebook for rolling off your brayer; do you think this would work on the thin lined paper in spiral notebooks kids use for school? My son just cleared out a bunch of old school stuff, and it would be great if I could repurpose them. I always make colorful envelopes to send Happy Mail to my grandkids, and sometimes they even like to cut up parts of these colorful envelopes and make cards and things with them. It would be so nice to be able to have a notebook full of colorful papers to collage onto the cards, bookmarks, postcards, junk mail envelopes, and other goodies I make for them. I love gelli printing, but storage for everything can be a bit daunting sometimes…
Linda I think if you're careful and don't get the pages too wet then it will be fine.
Not boring at all.
Great way to use up 12x12 paper you don’t like !
It’s always fun.
Thank you so much Cari, I don't know what you may of done differently but, I could hear you so much better on this one. Lots nicer to hear what your saying 😃👍💯
Deb, all I did was set the volume when I was editing one notch higher, I hope that continues to help. Thank you.
