Bellyband Stash Building

Whilst organising my ephemera the other day I was surprised to discover I only had two bellybands left, definitely time to make some new ones.

[@shellywilliamswilliamscomp783]

I love the new sign

[@susanviney3297]

Love them all. Classic Ceri!

[@jackiekeegan1678]

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed watching your process.

[@mariewohlfield1512]

Thank you for explaining what a belly band is and what it is used for!💕

[@shabbyrosecreationsbykem]

Hi there, I just discovered your fabulous channel yesterday. I do believe I've watched at least 32 of your older videos. I'm so happy I discovered your channel. Long story short. I am now a subscriber to your fantastic channel. Tfs your creativity with us. 😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you and welcome to my channel.

[@PatWalden]

Beautiful results as always! ❤❤❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! 😊

[@jessicabaker541]

The birds turned out really nice!

[@robingoff322]

Great video Ceri! Thanks for sharing!

[@joannoble500]

I love the difference in page colors.

[@betsy2298]

Thanks so much! I love that you tell us what you do and Why you do it that way! Learned a lot and now I feel more secure about using belly bands in my journals.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Happy to help!

[@stefanie006]

Thank you so much for reminding and defining terms!! I so appreciate your ongoing patience with us newbies, even when you're not feeling 100%. ☺️

[@lericamims]

TFS I was very inspired to create lots of joy using this tutorial.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful

[@tutushale]

Beautiful Work! TFS Your videos are great! 🤙

[@christinecrow1410]

Good morning, Ceri. Love the new Logo. It's pretty. Thank you for the belly band stash. I hope your day is wonderful and crafty.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! You too!

[@lisasmith287]

Thank you so much for the tutoral on bellybands, you are such a great teacher. I love how you explain each step and they came out beautiful.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@singhd7]

Hello , Ceri love to watch your videos

[@teresazuehls783]

Love your new colorful logo sign! It looks great. I enjoyed watching your process of how you make belly bands. Yes, the US is also having wet weather. We have 25 states that have major flooding. Crazy! In Arizona the glue dries quickly especially glue sticks. You have to be fast once you get your glue down. 😊 TFS❤

[@dorisandujar8277]

All 3 of your belly bands are gorgeous. Love the button.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh thank you!

[@brant8642]

Your back, yay! Glad to see you. 🎉❤

[@lericamims]

I did this tutorial. I was so very happy. I spent one whole day 8 hours and I made more than 20 belly bands. I had to clean up today! But oh the joy.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wow you did well at building your stash.

[@conniec4629]

Thanks for the link for the butterflies. I ordered them! I like them because they are tiny and will fit in many little spots1

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful!

[@dorisandujar8277]

Hello Ceri, I am one of your new subscribers and I'm also very new to paper crafting, journaling and junk journals. You get the picture. I did not know what a belly band was so this tutorial was so informative. I got a wealth of information and I thank you sincerely. So much appreciated. You are a ton of fun to watch and I can't wait to see you in another video. I think all

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Doris and welcome to my channel.

[@debbie1016]

They turned out so beautiful, Carie. I just love your art/collage style. I am always so inspired after watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@hershellajohnson3800]

Those turned out so cute 😊

[@lucyfanning7496]

Thank you for all the inspiration, particularly the tip of using a label stamp on rice paper.

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@JulieTorrens]

Absolutely lovely ! I am thrilled that you are using your Washi tape too! You created such a pretty and soft look to your Belly Bands. I appreciate this video very much. ❤ 🤔 Now I need to make 10 belly bands. 😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun Julie but be aware they’re addictive.

[@JulieTorrens]

@@CeriGriffiths ❤

[@gilliangarner6225]

I really enjoyed watching this,definitely going to have a go x

[@beverlynielsen6714]

Great video Ceri. TFS. 💞

[@susananderson8428]

I like belly bands! They are one thing on the page, quick and easy. I think it's interesting that when i heard "belly band," i assumed it went horizontally. If you band a belly, it's like a belt in my mind so definitely horizontal. And then i saw folks putting them vertical! 😳 That shows how much i have to learn about junk journals! 😊 Book pages are the perfect beginning for my belly bands. I have a "gazillion" book pages! Great video. TFS ❤❤❤

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Beautifull!

[@weaver7249]

Ceri, you have the ability to turn anything into a masterpiece. Thank you for the inspiration..

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wow, thank you!

[@Astras-Stargate]

I like your new opening!!

[@jensartyinclinations]

Love how you stamp a frame around book page images. Doing ephemera the same is also a way to create cohesion through a journal & it expresses your style too. It’s ok if there’s more than one that’s similar 😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yes! Thank you!

[@brendabutler5738]

Thank you Ceri, love these

[@SpydersCorner]

Ditto to everything said, great video.. ps found a Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden in a charity shop, £1.99 ! beautiful book...too lovely to cut in to...will have to search for a second one!😊

[@kengagnon5302]

I love this tutorial. It was fun and informative.

[@idalujan3571]

Do ever just decorate a beautiful cake just for you? I got one of those cake tools at The Dollar Tree. The tool came in a set of three. The Dollar Tree has a small section now for cake decorating. The belly bands came out great.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Occasionally I’ll decorate a cake for a special birthday or event but it’s rare nowadays as there’s always so many other things that have to be done first.

[@nancymoore1275]

Beautiful belly bands❤

[@carlyswan7447]

Beautiful.you really have an eye for using just the right thing.

[@donnaswisher8408]

Hi Ceri. So happy to see you doing some junk journal projects. All your videos are awesome but JJ's are my thing. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞 (the new logo is looking fantastic. 😊)

[@ludmilaschicchi8278]

Really enjoyed all the tips on making belly bands. You share with us all the details that make a good idea a great one. I love ❤️ the new logo. Have to pause video to enjoy the fantastic colors and design.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! You too!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@thresathompson7252]

I enjoyed watching your video and learning more about another use of book pages. Thank you

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@wandamclaughlin8405]

Love these Ceri. I agree with Stefani006 below. Your patience and great attention to defining and reminders are for processes are so helpful. I don't feel rushed at all when watching you. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I did the 23 and Me and discovered I am part Welsh. 😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful!

[@BeerBabes001]

Yes, Arizona is dry, except during monsoon season. We’re snowbirds and are in AZ until April. 😎 Love everything you do, Ceri!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@artcuriousbymnw]

Ceri you give so much inspiration in one video❤ I was stuck after doing for the first time a coffee dye journal because didn’t know what to do next, you un-stuck me with your ideas, thank you

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fabulous, thank you

[@brendaclark2703]

Hi Ceri! I love belly bands! And doing them vintage style oh yes! You have created beauty! You are so smart to add glue to washi with it upside down! Genius, lol why have I never thought of that?! I’m always full of glue. 😊. Thank you so much for always being so inspiring! Have a blessed weekend, hugs to you 🙏💙

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! You too!

[@venitabucceri8435]

Really cool video, Ceri. Tfs💖

[@karenhughes3558]

Hi Ceri from across the pond 😂, hope your doing well. I just love your videos. Your belly bands are beautiful. I always pick up great ideas from you. You truly are gifted in your craft. 🌻

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh thank you!

[@rn4neo]

Fabulous belly band mass make, love your ephemera stash!

[@toniwatson5256]

Thank you Ceri, I made my first belly band today. Ive just started junk journaling and am loving the process

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful!

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

I like the size of your belly bands. Sometimes I see them made so wide the you don’t see the journal card behind. These are perfect.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Your new sign makes me smile. ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fabulous

[@deniselittle5558]

I love these and it's so much fun to make a bunch of them. But mine never seem to go with anything when it comes down to it.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Maybe part decorate them and only add the focal point when you’ve decided which journal they are going in.

[@lorraineanderson5467]

I’m liking this process a lot! Ideas are percolating…..! Thank you, Ceri (love the updated logo as well)

[@thehobbyhobbit1774]

Loved this!😊

[@julietierney2516]

Saving this to watch later this weekend!

[@karver3440]

Good idea of using book pages for belly bands, they look lovely☺

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! 😊

[@thegypsy1968]

Oh Ceri I love your style and I so enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us! Definitely going to give these bellybands a go Hugs,GinaB💕😍💖🥰

[@Elainelovejoy]

So cute.

[@cowgirlhippiechick9911]

Thanks Ceri! Sometimes when I am stumped, having a process video helps bunches! Grand idea! Much love from New Mexico, USA❤

[@dianemosher3213]

Ceri, thanks so much for this video. You gave me a great idea I immediately when to my craft room and found my clear label stamps,used them on my “flora encyclopedia..awesome results.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful!

[@keenDesign64]

Super fun and I have a newly found, old map book to have a go with xx Thank you for sharing. NEW LOGO looking smashing xx

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yay, thank you!

[@brendagoulette759]

Oh your new logo is so awesome to see. I love how you explain your process. It helps a lot.

[@charlottebelieves285]

I had no idea what belly bands were lol but glad I clicked on this video. As soon as I saw them I thought... bookmark. Those would make beautiful bookmarks, as you said at the end of the video. I recently subbed and am in the process of harvesting my saved card collection still, as that was the very first video I saw of yours. There's just something so satisfying about chopping with my guillotine, muahaha. So that's just great, Ceri, cause now I'm going to be making bookmarks too. With all the itty bitty pieces needed for that. Thanks alot. (Sarcasm) Lol. However, this is where I enlist the help of my 2 granddaughters. I'm afraid to watch another video, hahaha.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun playing Charlotte.

[@michelel3372]

Love these and how you recycled old book pages. They turned out great! Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@rhodatuckey7119]

You lost the music piece on second bellyband...

Great info and tips. Tyfs

[@stargater2892]

Hi Ceri - love the new logo. I appreciate the belly band placement tip. I would have lined it even; thanks to you, I will leave a smidge. Looking forward to making my belly bands.

[@jukes243]

I like these! Thanks! Mr. Ceri. "Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life".

Ceri, love the new insignia!!! It really pops! I liked it ss you made it, but today when you put it out at the beginning, having been away from the old, it really caught my eye! Lovely belly bands!

Thank you

great 💡

[@paulahale3943]

Ceri..Thankyou love your vlogs❤️

[@winterprism9227]

I just thought I would put this out there in case anyone doesn't have ink and the brush thing. You can achieve, essentially, the same effect by running the edge of your paper, at an angle, over the edge of of a marker, sharpie, etc.. Or run the pen, along the edge of the paper, on the side of the nib. Idk if that is clear or not. Maybe one day I'll make a video or TikTok showing how to do so, myself... but if you were to try it and figure out what I am actually trying to say, feel free to show it yourself, if you'd like.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I totally understand as that is how I colour the edges of my Artist Trading Cards, I run a coloured Posca pen against the edges.

[@LeacheaWood]

It's already been an active tornado season in the states. I live in north Alabama and we've already seen a few close calls.

[@jamieherron8300]

GREAT tips! I learned a LOT!!! Thank you once again, Ceri! And, I too, love the new #Freshnitup'd logo!!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yay! Thank you!

[@aliciaholmes8588]

Love the clear boxes your labels and butterflies are in. What are they?

[@CeriGriffiths]

Alicia this video should answer your question kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ3GfZRmhtCjpM0si=7k2M-xWAJBasynp2

[@1970SMary]

Thankyou for the inspiration. I'm very new to Junk journals and am finding all the info and videos overwhelming... there are so many of them. I have a book that has been removed of half its pages and those remaining have been glued together. I am now stuck, what do i decorate it with? will the pages look good together? what if i make a mistake? After watching this video i will start making these bands with the leftover pages and decorate with some old magazines i have. I can then maybe make a journal with loads of belly bands and other embellishments, tags, journal cards etc. (None of which are made yet. ) Thanks again for sharing, you now have a new subscriber. Have a fab day, xx

[@CeriGriffiths]

If I have any advice at all it will be to not worry about messing it up, there are no rules and you’re just starting out. If you mess something up you will learn valuable lessons from that experience. Good luck.

[@gaylarichmond4074]

Thanks for the connection for the butterflies! They are perfect for so many things! New logo is great! Could you talk about junk journals and the thickness of the paper used for pages? I'm struggling with copy paper being too thin but cardstock being too thick and warping so what do I use?

[@CeriGriffiths]

Here in the UK there’s a paper thats a bit heavier than copier paper and it’s called presentation paper, it’s what I use for printing digitalis and also for coffee dying. I normally use it for my signatures. If you watch about the first five minutes of this video I show the paper in its packaging. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYTIZ4t4bcl2hKMsi=mcY-atUvGhtl0Xgp

[@gaylarichmond4074]

Got it! Heavier copy paper! @@CeriGriffiths

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

"World's biggest scissors?" Have you not seen my "grampa scissors?" They belonged to my grampa, and he liked them because he could cut across a page with 2 snips (one snip on bookpage width). 😉

[@CeriGriffiths]

lol……yes I’ve seen your Grampa scissors.
