How to create easy Book Page Art

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

Very Lovely! T Y! 😊

[@janiecox8766]

And now I will never not do this! Enjoying you from Oklahoma!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fantastic

[@hazelvicary]

Just what I needed - great tutorial, as always - thank you

[@CeriGriffiths]

You’re welcome Hazel

[@mavisdavisify]

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!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fabulous

[@gracejohnson1926]

What a fabulous idea…so beautiful and interesting… thank you… I’m eager to make some and love your teaching style🤗

[@babawawa1953]

Love it. Very clever. You are a continuing source of inspiration. Thank you.

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome

[@adelebonne446]

This is fantastic. I love it!

Absolutely love these!❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! 😊

[@CrafD2me]

Beautiful! I must try this. Thank you for sharing you time and talents!

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome

[@lindaminor8506]

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.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I appreciate that Linda thank you

[@alanbirkner1958]

Gorgeous. Thanks for explaining each step. Tina, Al's wife

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks for watching!

[@cindy8635]

Like this idea. Can’t wait to try it.

[@DeniseCraft-z5f]

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!

[@katrina7259]

I've been trying to find new ways to incorporate my art supplies into my journals. Thanks for this simple idea!

[@CeriGriffiths]

You’re welcome

[@katrineleber7238]

I love it when you go rogue! Hugs, treen 💚💚💚💚💚

[@CeriGriffiths]

Lol.....me, rouge........I wish I was really that brave.

[@chuckkolb1270]

What a clever lad. Just a bit more is always welcomed.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you.

[@leeannsutherland858]

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!

[@cindyt3789]

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!♥😄🖌

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful

[@reneebarger5194]

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.

[@hangingoutwithnanajacobson7582]

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!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much and welcome to my channel.

[@denisewisdom1558]

Thank you for sharing this. Very informative.

[@lenalossev1839]

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 🤗🕊️

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful

[@julietierney2516]

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!

[@sharonskains5049]

Thanks for sharing this way of painting on book page s. It looks amazing.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun

[@EJPARSONSUK]

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?! 😮😁🤭🤗

[@CeriGriffiths]

There should always be more on the way

[@soniaclarkson3766]

Ceri, thank you for thinking of us newbies!! Absolutely wonderful and useful

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@lericamims]

absolutely lovely.

[@rhondareed3002]

You make such lovely art, Ceri. Just watching you craft helps me relax (I watch you while I exercise and can't craft myself 😊)

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh thank you

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

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!

[@lisagordon6355]

You are such fun Ceri

[@jrive-stuart9608]

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

[@CeriGriffiths]

I still struggle with perfection but I’m getting better.

[@chrystalchapin6152]

Oh I love this, what a beautiful project , I can't wait to try this, Thank you so much

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@lericamims]

loving this so much.

[@lucya.caracoglia5781]

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.

[@CeriGriffiths]

You’re welcome Lucy.

[@pamminevins3818]

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.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun

[@maureenwilson6951]

Fabulous .. so enjoy all your videos and ideas. Never thought I would drool over book pages lol now they are my first choice

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Maureen.

[@SilverGypsyWeed]

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.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Dawn and I hope I continue to create achievable projects.

[@weaver7249]

I loved this video!

[@sunshinegirl8214]

Nice job!

[@Abbie7301]

Brilliant❣️

[@lindabeckman3053]

I know this is a year old Ceri, but I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to teach us how you do this technique. I’m not yet making junk journals, but I can see this used on cards and bookmarks as well. I’ve been trying to come up with a plan to upgrade the bookmarks I make and donate to the library, because I am hoping that they could sell them. We love our public library, and I want to support them in return for the many hours of joy that they have brought our family. This technique just might do it, if copyright isn’t an issue. Thanks again for sharing Ceri.

[@CeriGriffiths]

As it’s only for a small charitable organisation I think you should be okay.

[@wandasinclair3748]

Some of your supplies never heard of. I really enjoyed this. Thank uso much. First man I seen and u are great.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wanda it’s possibly because in the UK I don’t have the same suppliers as other countries.

[@saythankyou111]

So sweet,I’m going to lay out some samples and paper dolls for my granddaughters…what a beautiful valentines project…❤️💃

[@CeriGriffiths]

What fun, crafting with grandma creating memories.

[@daledapprich3122]

Thank you so much for all your help!

[@thepaperatelier.]

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 🌸💕

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome

[@dotmorton4540]

Dot from Derbyshire 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

[@CeriGriffiths]

Dot thank you and welcome to my channel.

[@TheDottiDot]

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!

[@CeriGriffiths]

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.

[@luvbears7492]

I am mind blown at how easy you made this look. I’m off to get clear gesso. Thanks for all of the inspiration! ❤

[@dianejohnstone8653]

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!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Diane I’m happy you found my video interesting and entertaining.

[@bettymetz3746]

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much! 😊 and welcome

[@WilmaVoermans]

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....

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wilma I’ve not heard of that I’ll have to see if I can find out more.
