Creating Ephemera from Tracing Paper Strips! - Craft with Me!

[@Melinda-S]

Love these strips! One of these days I need to finish the ones I started. Thanks for sharing!

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Oh I love your flat bowl idea. Less paper pieces on the floor. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@tinlizzie4444]

Hi Gayle!! I really like those tracing paper strips!! Figure out where you want them , tear, glue and done!! These are awesome!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

The stinking cute fearless little guy is the spitting image of my grandson. Every time someone uses that picture my heart gets so happy. He’s the youngest of five siblings, and I was pulling for “fearless”because that’s a perfect description of my grandson.🥰

[@joyjoyjoyfolie]

Always enjoy Gayle!! Even if I can only pop in for a sec!!

Hello sweet Gayle 👋 l’ve got so much done in the last 2 days. I’ve got rid of so much stuff. What a great feeling to start out the ‘22 and the very best part is my basement and garage is going to be my complete craft room. Isn’t that awesome. I got all my 🕯 🧼 🧴 🪡 🧵 📔 quilting supplies all sorted. It’s exhausting but so worth it. My grandsons are getting all of Gramps tools 🧰 and cabinets. I had to share. I remember your dining? room video craft room, so l knew you would understand how great to get some room. Great idea to save your thumb with inking down. Plus, l just got out that same collage day project to work. I think it’s so fun to flip n see what you get. I don’t think it ever looks bad. Stay warm and thanks for all the videos 🤗

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

So excited for you to have an expanded craft room!! Have so much fun organizing and setting things up! Love and hugs to you, my friend! ❤️

[@betsymcgovern5672]

I love watching you work. I get so many ideas from you. The wax paper idea is wonderful. You are so talented. Thank you Gayle.

[@linnhill7017]

Hi from Aston Bay in South Africa again! Lovely video Gayle, thank you. We are pretty much settled in our new home and it is 28 deg C here today... lovely! Gayle, if you mist the ink on your craft mat with water so that it makes tiny droplets, you can "smoosh" some paper in it to make grungy bits! Have an awesome day!

[@elizabustos7343]

Oh Gayle good luck with your plumbing and your wall.

[@debbiehamlin1662]

Hi Gayle. I finally tried the tracing paper collage technique and I appreciate this video showing how to use them. I am loving this style of collaging! Thank you!

[@AngelroseDesings]

Love the idea 💡 thanks for sharing. See you in the next video and on the flip side. Happy crafting on a budget. Happy everything on a budget.

[@MessyPaperCrafter]

I love it! Not only do I get crafty inspiration, but also helpful tips to help with my arthritic hands! Thanx!

[@DonnaHarris3578]

I’ve enjoyed watching you use stuff and then use up the leftovers. I wish I could be that organized! You have inspired me to try! And I absolutely love those big hearts!

[@josettevaive3895]

If you ever can't think of something to work on just pick up your scrappy journal. I have loved watching that one come together 🥰 Your lovely hearts you made, if they are a digital, can be reduced in size before you print...then they will fit❣️This was fun, always grateful, hugs 🤗

[@debbiev.1311]

Always a good feeling taking ephemera from to-do to ta-done...YAY!! 😁 Have a wonderful weekend...LOVE & HUGS!! ❤🤗

[@renaywp1]

Oh, I truly enjoyed your video! Just stumbled on to your channel, and so happy I did! Love your sense of humor, and your work is beautiful! Thanks for sharing…hope your workers don’t make more of a mess than what they came to repair!! 😳🤣😆👍🙌🏻🤗

[@theolachapman6126]

Great ideas and inspiration beautiful collage work love your collage ideas 💡 thank you for sharing Theola

[@gaildeltufo-barrett3686]

Hi Gayle, I stamped some along with you one video. I made I few because I loved and missed my stamp collection. I love stamps especially wooden block ones ! I haven’t decorated them yet and so happy to see what you made with them 😄

[@lucyfanning7496]

Have to go and watch the tracing paper video now. These are great.

[@DeniseS-6867]

I have to say this video is now one of my very favorites. I love all that you made in just one hour and every one is beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.

[@cynthiabuck9517]

I'm glad you heard me tell you the little boy is fearless - all turned out great - Hugs.

[@CynthiaH914]

All of the ephemera pieces look so nice. The hearts are my favorite. I really need to make some of Rachel's tracing paper strips. They look great on tags and journal cards. Thanks so much for sharing this fun video.

[@sunsh1ne539]

You are really on to something with those tracing paper strips! I’m on those this week for sure! I have some vintage pictures of my mom and dad I’ll be scanning to use like those adorable little kids you’ve used! The journals I’m making are for my daughter and her littles…and she’ll be thrilled to have those pictures in her journal! We lost my folks just a little while ago and we adored them both…so I’m hoping these pictures will bring joy! Thank you for leading the way!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’m so sorry for the loss of your parents! 🥺. We are never ready, are we? Including their pictures in your journals will be wonderful! ❤️

[@PaperPlaywithJulieK]

Love all of your projects today. I really appreciate you showcasing everything at the end of the video in case I missed something while my head was down crafting. Thanks again for keeping me company while I crafted today. I was working on a stack of envelopes in a winter wonderland theme. Hopefully I will be done next week.

[@fernanton8370]

Hi Gayle, I pray your son in law is feeling better . These pockets & tags are amazing. Enjoyed the video . Blessings to you and your family.💜💕💜

[@JoyfulMakesandFinds]

You make the best ephemera pieces...I just love watching you put things together.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I’m so happy you changed the way you ink! As a former wood carver I learned to always have the piece supported. Not doing it was called air carving or air filing. I had to learn the hard way with sore wrists. Hallelujah!🦌💌❤️📚

[@sallysmith2937]

Love the laughter. 😉😉Great ideas. I’m addicted to collage and tags and ....... Thanks for being you, Gayle!!

[@tamraandrews7653]

I've been watching you for almost a year. Love your videos. You are amazing! I was skeptical about these strips, but you make them look so good. I need to make some now.

[@LauraMe...]

Hello Gayle! I hope the drywall guy does a great job patching you back up! I do love the strips too! They have all the layers we like in a collage so they're just ready to go anywhere!

[@ellenmorrell8332]

You have wonderful taste in color and pictures.😊

[@ruthskiff2899]

These are really pretty. Thanks for sharing.

[@susanalthaus2831]

Hi Gayle, watch you everyday don’t usually comment but you just make this look so simple. Love all your projects they turned out so beautiful. TFS💜🙏🏻

[@donitamoore8123]

I loved watching you make the tracing paper strips. But I seem to get stuck on how to use things in the next step sometimes. This was a great video showing wonderful ways to use those strips! I hope you aren't too buried under the snow, and your temps are a little warmer. Have a blessed day!

[@charlean_sherrod]

Hi Gayle, thanks for the shout out, I love everything you made today. Brrr that’s a lot of snow, soooo cold, we are wearing T-shirts today in Ca … lol

[@vanessarussell7997]

Good morning Gayle. Thanks for so many wonderful ideas. I am working on using up a lot of my stash that I forget about. So I have been watching a lot of videos on using scrapes and 12 x 12 papers also 6 x6. Made my first book out of the drop paper. Did the cover with doodling and words. I loved the way it came out. Have a beautiful and blessed day.

[@craftycat7212]

Great ephemera Gayle. Those strips are fabulous. Hugs, Amy💕

[@dianacampanelli3250]

You are such an inspiration, Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent! Have fun at your granddaughters game! 🤗🌻❤️

[@kathmcmillen3217]

These are awesome Gayle. I need to go back and watch how you made the tracing paper. Love the look! Hugs....

[@nawlinsjanet]

I really enjoyed watching you make all of these wonderful ephemera pieces today. It was great!

[@judy6547]

So very pretty!!! I think I like the way you are inking now, looks more vintage to me. Thank you for sharing you yalent.

[@colleenmc8450]

I was super excited to see today's video because I just re-watched the scrappy Saturday video where you created some of the strips. I have a bunch of strips, stamps, book pages, ephemera and scraps ready to go so I can create some. I now have more ideas how to use them!

[@joanfriant211]

Very pretty and handy!!!

[@bookshopshelli]

Good afternoon Gayle, I love how these tags turned out. I watched you make the tracing paper strips and really liked the idea, even more now when I see how easily you can decorate a tag. Have a great day. Hugs!

[@LaurieFarms]

I cannot find the video where she makes the strips-can anyone help me?! 🙏❤️🙏

[@bookshopshelli]

@@LaurieFarms Hi Laurie, There are a couple maybe more. One recent one was on 12/11 Scrappy Saturday - Collage Tracing Paper Strips! here is the link to that video kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6XRlKudYpeog9E also about 3 months ago she did Rachel's weekly challenge Week 39 it was called DIY transparent collage washi But it's the same thing. Here's the link for that one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGirnqCVeahsrsk. I do think she has done more in between these 2.

[@LaurieFarms]

@@bookshopshelli Thank you friend!!! 🙏❤️🙏

[@amandarichards7420]

Love these. Glad you heard me yelling at you even though you did the filing 12 hours ago!

[@tannabella6071]

Good morning sweetie! Thanks for sharing! These are all too cute! So many done so quickly! Blessings! 💕

[@omieshome3394]

I am so excited you are working with tracing paper….I purchased some at Goodwill and was wondering how to work with it.

[@rduckster4727]

Me too!

[@stephennepereira8997]

Hi Gayle, those strips make beautiful tags and cards.Love everything you made today. The strips can be used to decorate anything and they are fun to make! 👍💛

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

I am sitting getting my hair done so I have time to watch your video all the way through… I hope… lol! Love your long strips, I need to make some, I have all the pieces just need to decorate them up. Everything is gorgeous! Hugs. 🤗💖🤗

[@JannyHaak]

Yes, those strips are really awesome, so fun and versatile! 💕

[@artisanaljourney_adrianazainea]

Hi Gayle! Thank you for your energy and crafting even if you have some health challenges! It means a lot for me to see your work. All of it: crafting, filming, posting, responding to messages. It's a lot! I too think that this one and the faux shi are my favorites. :) found an interesting Christmas book that made me think of you and another three girls. I think I'll film it and share it with you one of these days. :) You'll understand when you'll see it. :) Hugs and kisses!

[@alisonroth1374]

Love your tags Gayle.cant wait to create after getting my craft room organized.

[@maureenkolis9738]

I’m just so happy to have found you! I’ve just begun trying my hand at this craft and I appreciate all the generous sharing of ideas! Thank you for your inspiration and for having so much fun with what you’re doing! It’s motivating!

[@vickinoeske1154]

Wow - you got a lot done and all of it lovely!

[@elizabustos7343]

Hi Gayle, its a wonderful video to watch. Its 4:30 am. Right now its been a crazy day, my daughters frenchie female dog went into labor, we ended up taking her in and she had to have a c-section. She had six babies , one unfortunately didnt make it. I was working on my craft room too so....why im not out dead asleep I don't know. But I am definatly going to make some of those strips.

[@chaselip]

These are so fun and look absolutely great. Will have to sit down and make some. Have to find Rachel's video and do that part and follow up as you did. Have a wonderful weekend. Hope the bathroom is fixed nicely and qhuickly💟💌💖

[@kaybreedlove3050]

Love the strips and tags! Can’t wait to make some myself! Thanks for sharing!💕

[@stacieocker]

Love how they all turned out!! Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@jennylawson1980]

Love the hearts! I so need my computer set up now and printer. I would love to use them on my VDay cards this year if I get the chance to. I really love the tracing paper/parchment paper strips for so many wonderful and neat ideas. Thanks for the relaxing fun😌 morning. Stay warm 💜

[@valinajames209]

This is a fun video. I love seeing you get through your to-do pile!

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Good morning Gayle!! You got a lot done today and everything turned out so pretty. Off to the she shed to try and be creative while my sweet hubby puppy sits. Have an awesome Friday...💜

[@dianajackman7213]

These are absolutely stunning! I love your creativity

[@tammywilliams5006]

Hey Gayle, I have thumbs issues too. I place the tag so that it hangs over the edge of my desk to ink the edges. You could maybe let it hang off the edge of your glue book. It helps to get the same look as if I held the tag. It also works when I use that Tim Bolts edged tool thingy. I hope you find a method that works comfortably. Thank you for sharing your talent and ideas. Love your videos!

[@cindyanderson2315]

Hi sweetheart😻 thank you so extra kindly for everything that you do for us. I'm enjoying it tremendously. Im new & :would love anything & everything anybody can help me with. in learning how to create your magnificent ephemera stash.. amazing, talented & beautiful. Thank you Gayle😻🐾🙏please stay safe

[@tfntexas]

[@debbieekes5718]

These are so cute. Thanks for sharing your skills and ideas.

[@sunsh1ne539]

Ooh, and I love those arty hearts! I got them and can see they’ll be easy to use! I’m putting them off the edge some and they look really great! Thanks so much!

[@heatherdoane1195]

Those strips are wonderful Gayle! I love how you put them together, will be on my weekend to do list. 🥰🇨🇦

[@2ndChanceCrafting]

I love those tracing paper strips! I am kinda frustrated as I am re-doing my craft room. I emptied the closet and am looking for shelves to put in there as I need more space. So my room is a BIG mess. I walk in and just feel like putting my arms up and walking right back out. lol Gonna look at Roxy's and yours take on the strips. Wonderful - Thanks Gayle

[@patbrez3079]

Good Afternoon Gayle! I ink this way too, I use the inked papers for the backs of tags or glue it to the back of a master board. Happy Crafting! 👍☃️

[@ChalaFrank]

Good morning Ms Gayle! Thanks for another great video! Have an awesome weekend!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Lots of great ideas from all of you. 🙂💜

Happy Friday Gayle! An even dozen that is great and I like those tall word digitals. Good luck with the plumber and the drywall people, good thing you have another bathroom. We are going to be in the negative's tomorrow and they said the wind chill will feel like negative 27. Have a safe and happy weekend, take care! 💜

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

i love what you did today Gayle - very pretty - i do have a quick tip 🙃when i have to ink around delicate papers i keep a small piece of cardboard on my desk about 4 x 6 and just put it behind the paper to make it sturdy and then ink - and no tearing the papers 🤗🤗🥰 thank you Gayle and be well xx

[@lynnehebert6188]

Wow I live in Florida no snow here but my kids would love to see it

Packing for a retreat next week. My first time doing junk journal rather than scrapbooking and I’m worried that I have enough to do. Reviewed your video from 2021 about packing and used it as a check list

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Have so much fun, Karen!! I always take stuff to make ephemera as well as whatever projects I’m going to work on. I could work on ephemera for hours and hours! 😂❤️

[@carolynchatham6376]

I must try the tracing paper collage pieces.

[@donnahunter3488]

Mrs. Gayle, I’ve tried telling you to ink your edges with the inker on the table over a year ago, when you were wearing your brace. I knew it would help you so much. I would see you struggle so much. I guess better late than never. 😂

[@karensumner3772]

LOVE EVERYTHING YOU MADE-SO PRETTY-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

Snippets could become a HEXAGONAL bit huh?😻👍😎💕

[@donadeam2313]

It’s so interesting how different regions view snow. On NewYear’s Eve day we (north east Kansas) received our first snow and it was as if it was a major problem. We had 2-3 days of storm tracking, Eve and day of storm reports, people running into snow plows and day before grocery store rush. Everyone was questioning the road conditions. It was a zoo. Here you’re getting double digit snowfall and it’s “ho hum.” I love internet people watching. Also love the tags, etc you made. Can’t wait to see them in a journal. I think Rachel’ biggest impact from her challenges was reminding everyone to use vellum and tracing paper plus to use to make “fauxshi” and collage strips. Sorry to be long winded.

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I agree, surprised they only have a foot. We don’t get snow where I live in Northern California but all I have to do is take the freeway about an hour up into the mountains and there’s plenty of snow to see and play in. Anyway in December we got 17 feet up there. Some of those people have had no power for weeks, nope, not for me.
