[@milagladkova4642]

What a great collage ideas of using index cards!!!

[@tbearkelly]

SO pretty, Barbara. And that gilding wax was lovely as well. I always enjoy your peaceful, calm style. What a beautiful beginning to my cool, crisp, sunny Sunday morning....Thank you!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Carol! So happy you are sharing your morning with me! 😊🥰

[@joiedefi]

These have so many uses I'm wondering which of them to choose, to incorporate into my junk journaling. I'm thinking that they would be beautiful as part of a stationery set...with envelopes...mmmmm. So pretty Barbara, so vintage! Just divine❣️🌿😁

[@donnadegale-kalloo5926]

That is a great idea, you can also do greeting cards with envelopes...oh I think I am going to do that for a gift...thanks

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Joie! Love the stationery set idea! 😊

[@jeanninelarsen1065]

Oh baby girl!! So, yeah, I SHOULD be packing to move - four weeks from today we'll be on the road - but this vid caught my eye, so I've been watching it bit by bit all morning. Virtually ALL my supplies are packed, BUT I did keep enough stuff out that I'll be able to make some mini master boards this evening after I meet with our realtor. ...kind of my "reward" for working so hard! Actually, kind of motivation too - *if* I patch the holes in the walls *then* I can craft tonight, right?? MomK's gettin' too old for this cross-country moving nonsense! 😉🧓🥱 Love you, angel! 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

[@49dragonflies]

I have to admit, I don’t envy you for the move….I really hope everything will go smoothly and that you will have a wonderful crafting space again! ❤️

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh my gosh Barbara, I love, love, love these so much. They all just look beautiful, struggling to choose a favourite, but feeling so very inspired x

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw, thanks so much Tina! ❤️ I think I will be doing more of these! 😃

love the wax idea thank you

[@myrasummitt5015]

What a Great way to use up scraps.

[@pambotter365]

Love these master boards. Glad you picked the butterfly one for your page. And the word secrets matches perfectly. I feel the butterfly holds the secret of nature how they go from caterpillars to beautiful butterflies. Perfect! TFS! ❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Pam! I love what you wrote about the butterflies and their secret! 😊❤️

[@pambotter365]

49dragonflies You’re welcome Barbara and thank you!

[@maricontapangco6172]

Enjoyed it so much. Please make some more of them.

[@LauraMe...]

Hi Barbara, I really love how cute these mini master boards came together. It's a great way to use those snippets and things you don't normally use. Really fun too.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Laura, happy you enjoyed this! They are super fun and quick to make 😃

[@livingonview]

I just recently made three, one each in pastels of blue, pink, yellow. I copied mine and I think I liked the copied version better than the original!

[@mylifewithfive]

This was so fun! Love the neutral base. It makes it so easy to build on to it. Thanks for sharing.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Kim, happy you enjoyed it! 😊

[@lucyfanning7496]

You are the queen of collage.Love this.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw, thank you Lucy! ☺️❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Cheryl! ❤️

[@jennypops02may]

Hi really enjoyed this video it’s so interesting watching the process of making the master boards, you make it look so easy and the results are lovely. More please. Xx

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Jennifer! So happy you enjoyed it! 😊🥰

[@AnitaStone-ml3js]

Love how they turned out, thank u for the inspiration 😊

[@cristinashepard3166]

Beautiful! I love Pam's Channel and I use many of her techniques for cards and bookmarks.

[@kitbajdek3017]

Beautiful work! So inspired- already looking forward to the next video!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Kit! 😊

[@PatWalden]

Love how these turned out! I save the cards I get in junk mail from real estate agents, politicians, and such to use as a base to collage on. I'm still working on my technique, but having a lot of fun doing it. Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@49dragonflies]

That’s a great idea! I should do that too! 👍🏻😊

[@lindabrown3558]

Oh my how lovely I love watching you I'm always inspired by you

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw, thanks Linda! That’s makes me happy! ☺️

[@MommytoMikeyjr]

Hi Barbara. I recently started doing master boards. I make them on 12x12 scrapbook card stock then cut it up making 6 postcards size 4x 6. It’s so addicting and it uses up your scraps which is a bonus!

[@49dragonflies]

Perfect! They are really addictive and versatile! 😃

[@marystewart7973]

Omg. That is one gorgeous stamp collection! I am jealous!!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Mary! It’s years of collecting.... 😊

[@mardellnorris-beaty8908]

I actually love making master boards in neutrals then I copy them so I can re-use them. I make the larger copy paper size add different pieces to them when I am ready to put them into a journal. Yours are beautiful as usual.

[@maudhiemstra]

Love these and made loads of them on bookpages. From now on they have the name mini master boards😁 also love these to write on and add to happy mail. Have a wonderful week sweetie 😘😘

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks sweetie! Book pages are of course great for these as well! 😊. Hugs 🥰

[@cheryltallafuss1886]

Barbara, I’m so happy when you turn on your camera. You are truly blessed with such an amazing artist ability 🦋

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaaw, thank you Cheryl, blushing here! ☺️

[@anniefaint6373]

These are all lovely little pieces of artwork,,,,. Xxxxx 🌸❤️🌼

[@nanmau6234]

Love these💕 the small size makes collage much more manageable. Love how you showed how to build up each layer. Will definitely try this. Pam from the paper outpost does have s great ideas . 💕

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! I’m happy this was helpful! Yes, Pam has tons of fun ideas! 😃

[@kimbain4368]

What some might call 'hoarding', crafters call it 'building my stash'. I love the idea of master boards. I think a Nina Ribena video was the first time I saw one being made. (She's quite the master.) These are so pretty! I love all the elements you chose. And I love that they are mini! Thanks for sharing!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Kim! I love that way of thinking: I’m building my stash 😃👍🏻. Nina is awesome!

[@1jmass]

From what I understand, the two major places for focal images are the top left and bottom right of the page. I think it has to do with how English is read. We start reading in the top left corner and finish the page at the bottom right. Anyway, your tendency to add the words to the bottom right is exactly right.

[@marytaylor3675]

These were terrific! More please.....

[@janisfarley5128]

Love these, love the extra touches you add. 😊

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You totally rocked this!! :) Love your artwork!! :) Sincerely, Pam :)

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so mich Pam! You inspired me! ❤️

[@michellearnold3189]

Masterboards are fun and very useful for many items. For me BIG is the way to go and I cut them up to suit the project I'm working on.

[@teresazuehls783]

I have been following Pam from the Paper Outpost for close to a year now. Love her. Your mini master boards are beautiful. Will have to give the smaller version of master boards when I don't have a lot of time or don't feel very creative. I think making these smaller ones would help start your creative juices flowing again.♥️

[@nancywalker7302]

I follow Pam as well ❤

[@teriwhidden9178]

whenever I feel the need for inspiration or am feeling stalled , I go back & watch your video again. One of my favorites.

[@longdaysjournal]

Now that. I am a collage convert, I am finding this signature to be the most fun yet! Keep the collages coming! Also, my go to when I want to secure down belly bands and other tuck spots or pockets where I don’t mind a wider adhesive line is to use a double-sided tape runner.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! I’m not a fan of the tape runners because they are completely unforgiving and have no wiggle room. Also I find their adhesive usually doesn’t last well over the years.

[@ardellakoskinen5359]

These are great! I've seen lots of people do large master boards and they seemed overwhelming to me. So I like this idea of doing smaller ones ... dah! Why didn't I think of that?!?! So now I think I'll give it a go! Yours turned out so pretty!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Ardella! I get that! These are super fun and quick to make. Enjoy! 😃

[@ivodellkelly3831]

Since watching your video this afternoon, I am hooked on your brilliant ideas. I thank you very much. Made a tag tonight.

[@ruthwalzershine429]

Beautifully assembled...Loved the Tones....Your stamp album is quite impressive...Another great Video....

[@chuckkolb1270]

A touch of metallic here and there and everywhere, the whole piece sings.

[@tonyashatley5040]

Gorgeous as always! ☺️

[@marciaporcelli5885]

I have made several large master boards. I just collage the backgrounds and then make copies of them, so I can add whatever elements I’m in the mood for on top. I even added beeswax once and made it “vellum”. Yours are beautiful and I’m inspired to make more!!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks you sweetie! The large ones are very fun as well! These might be less overwhelming though for beginners, plus they are super fast to make 😊

[@anitaturner2999]

Once again you rocked it. Beautiful work. I love watching you create your art.

[@ChattylaineCreates]

Oh my I just love using stickers and its fun, quick and easy... These are really cute in miniature size 😁😁💖🎃

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks sweetie! Have fun with these! 🥰

[@Valkennestblogspot]

This is again amazing! I love your back grounds and the use of stickers. I have so many and never use them but in this way they fit perfectly. Have a nice week Greetings Maia

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Maia! I also need to use my stickers more! 🙄

[@MrsKCumings]

Fabulous ideas - thank you so much! Hugs, Karen

[@margaretflaxman]

Love the mini master boards. Have made the large ones but these seem better. Hurrah you got the gilding wax out.🥰💕

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Margaret! Yup, have missed the wax! 😃

[@melonmahfood2439]

I love watching you create!

[@lovewisdomgrace]

These mimi master boards are super cute. The smaller size isn't as intimidating as the full size.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! I totally agree and they are super fun too! 😃

[@lisajmascord8183]

[@LeighPogue]

These are gorgeous Barbara I have so so many scraps to use up. This would be perfect and fun too. Thanks

[@sherrydennis2419]

Smaller master boards don’t seem as overwhelming, thank you for sharing.

[@roseblitz1439]

Hi Barbara, I loved this idea of the mini boards. For some reason I seem so overwhelmed when I start with a large sheet to college. This is wonderful! Thanks!💖

[@bettybutler1686]

Never attempted these masterpieces.... Jealous of your stamp collection Understand hoarding it, such beauty. Brings such joy just flipping thru the pages. TYFT

[@DonnaHarris3578]

I’ve never done a master board before but it looks like fun and uses stuff at the same time. Going to watch Pam’s video after yours. Oh I am so jealous of your stamp collection. I’ve been collecting for a couple of years but don’t have nowhere as many as you do.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Donna! I find stamps at my flea market 😊
