[@Cindy-sb5dv]

Love love love this idea.....so many borders can be made......🥰

[@KariGibsonArt]

Yes! Thank you Cindy! 💗😊💗

[@suetownsend1932]

How lovely!

[@kimberlywalker280]

Another GREAT WAY to use our stash of stamps!!😃😃

[@KariGibsonArt]

Yes! Thank you Kimberly, I am glad you like them! 💗💗

[@bunnysantamaria1808]

Loved this!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much! 😀💗

[@iknownothing-49]

I love crazy page edges. These are lovely. You could also overlap different letters and numbers to make patterns.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Great idea, thanks Imelda! 💗

[@amylewis8514]

I think that I will add this into my middle school art program rotation online, so I think my kids will really dig it

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you Amy, yes I think they will! 💗💗

[@acraftersstory]

I just adore the colors. They make me happy. I love edges hanging out of pages too. It adds so much character to a journal page.❣

[@barbara-dj1uo]

It’s 3am and I can’t sleep. So glad I can’t sleep because I found you on youtube! I’m your new subscriber. I am absolutely, positively, totally in love with this creatively, fun, quirky borders. I’m going to make some using my gelli scraps. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Barbara, it is lovely to have you here with me, but I am sorry about your insomnia, thank goodness for KZbin! Have fun making these borders! 💗💗

[@oldcrowslanding]

YES! I will be doing this! I LOVE these borders. I've been making my own "Holtzy-style" collage papers with stamps, and now I will also be having fun making beautiful, fun borders. Thank you, Kari!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Yay, they are quite addictive to make, you'll enjoy it! 😀💗

[@UzumakiNarue]

❤❤❤cool idea for sketchbooks too!! When u dont know what background draw or to just give your drawings a little extra ♡♡

[@KariGibsonArt]

That's a great idea! 💗💗

[@barbclark69]

I love doodling and I love borders.These are seriously fun. Thanks for posting. I was lucky to run across this video tonight.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so muchBarbara! 💗😊

[@iaciflanders6608]

Just painted several papers, some with words, some large music paper, and this will be the perfect way, new way for me, to put them to good use! Thanks!!! 💝🧵💝✂️💝🪡💝

[@KariGibsonArt]

Oooh, they sound great, Laci! 💗💗

[@BettsyDoodle]

Absolutely beautiful borders, Kari! Such yummy colours! I first saw Ilene McInnis make these about 5 years ago and was hooked! I’ve made hundreds since then. They really are such fun to make aren’t they and very addictive! Tfs. Hugs, Dee xxx

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Dee, I knew I had seen them somewhere a long time ago, I tried to find it and I couldn't! They are such fun, I am indeed hooked, LOL! 💝💝

[@andrearedenz6616]

These borders look absolutely gorgeous! What a great idea to use number stamps to build patterns! I am not a doodeling person but I can't wait to make some of those based on your inspiration. I think I can use my tearing rulers for fancy edges instead of hand cutting them. And it's the perfect use for left over gelli prints or otherwise painted papers as well as for all my acrylic paint and glitter markers. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤ from Germany

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much Andrea, what a great idea to use a tearing ruler, that will look really nice. Have fun and 💗 to you in Germany!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Nothing says you can't add stuff after you create an art journal page. These are great! TFS I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs

[@KariGibsonArt]

Oh yes, good point, Darcy! Have a wonderful day too, hugs xx💗xx

[@vinodhakirba8527]

wow! i was totally surprised when you used the cut edge to make a second border. that was totally BRILLIANT!!!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much! 😊💗💗

[@janiemorales2450]

Great borders! Years back I made borders for classroom bulletin boards. I would save the plastic sheet that came in packaged bacon and make seasonal border stencils out of them. I would then fanfold the construction paper and cut up my designs. So much fun. BTW, the borders would be laminated and the fold lines would press out.

[@KariGibsonArt]

That's a great idea! Thanks very much Janie! 💗😊

[@leighcreates]

These look so pretty Kari, and easy to create.Great idea, thanks for letting us know about them. xx

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much, Leigh, they are a lot of fun to make, I love them! 💗😃💗

[@nuvoclassic]

I'm already subbed. YT sent me here on a search for DIY bristol journal! Great ideas - lovely strips!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much! 💙

[@melissataylor5494]

This is a great idea. I would never have thought of this. This really enhances the journal page. Thanks. These videos are timeless.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Melissa, they really are lovely and loads of fun to make! 💗💗

[@TheReaderWoman]

Really like these. What a fun idea to play with! Gonna play with inks, books and magazines and see what I can create. Thank you.

[@KariGibsonArt]

That sounds like fun, I hope you have a great time trying it out! 🥰

[@nansnook3920]

They are super cute & will give any journal page pop.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much! 💗😊

[@mycrochetobsession]

I’m making these on the Dollar Tree adult coloring book pages. It’s going to be fun!

[@KariGibsonArt]

What a great idea - thank you! 😊💗

[@nancymarks7062]

These are fabulous. It will give me an opportunity to practice tangles in a functional way. And it will act as a warm-up exercise for drawing. Thanks so much.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Nancy, what a great idea to use tangles! 💗💗

[@JuliesJournals]

Awesome fun Kari, doodle borders, love it. Great for a quick art project if you don't have much time and doodle and done.

[@JuliesJournals]

Oh Kari you're gonna need music paper in the next collage challenge! Unless you swap out something, hmm, wish I could send you some to get there in time, thought we all had music paper.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Julie, definitely a great project for those times! And good news, I found my little stash of music paper, so I am ready to roll! 💗😃💗

[@VictoriaC310]

I LOVE this idea. And I love the formate of your presentation. You explain and speed it up.There are many tubers with great ideas. But they are Tedious to watch and listen to.💕🌴

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Victoria, that's very kind of you to say! 😀❤

[@lenalossev1839]

Great idea! Easy, fun, creative, decorative and pretty! Thanks for sharing 🤗🕊️

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you Lena! 😊💗😊💗

[@marlenejones6266]

You are simply brilliant. You don't waste anything do you? I have just found you. And I love the way you take what's left from one idea and turn that into another border. But I don't have the fabulous stamps you have. Hmmmm I'm going to look at what I have and see if I'm able to use something sideways or upside down or whatever. You have inspired and old lady. I'm 73 and sometimes I have trouble finding something interesting to use. Thank you. I will subscribe and like this video.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Marlene, yes I like to use everything which is why I have quite the hoard. Yes, see what stamps you can repurpose - or use things from around the house, bottle lids, a cork, a sewing thread bobbin etc. I hope you can find some things to use! 💗💗

[@rosem3577]

They are fabulous Kari!! I’m looking forward to try making some in the future. I’d be happy to send you a few sheets of music paper, if you like. Please let me know!

[@JuliesJournals]

Haha I thought the same thing, although mine will take weeks to get to Kari.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you Rose and don't worry, I have found my stash, LOL! 💗😃💗

[@KariGibsonArt]

Aw, thanks Julie, I found some that I forgot I had, after all! 💗😃💗

[@aimeemorgado8715]

I can never find paper that suits my color preferences, so I make my own. All the off cuts make fun borders- but you really got my creative juices flowing to use stiffer paper to make borders that Peale out of pages! Thank you so very much!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Aimee - have fun! 💗😊

[@lindseywarren44]

Once again, you've hit me at just the right time for some new inspiration! We have to be on the same wavelength somehow, Kari :) Because it seems that every time I get stuck for something to do, you just come right along with an amazing vid full of ideas of fun things to do! Yay! My Art Compadre! LOL Thank you, darling. I appreciate you!

[@KariGibsonArt]

LOL, my partner in crime, I am glad this hit at the right time. Thank you for your lovely comment, it did make me smile. Love and Bless to you too, have fun making some of these! 💗🙂💗xx

[@PMartistStudio]

Kari, very effective!!!! So beautiful. WOW

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Mariah, they are such fun to make and I love them! 💗🙂💗

[@robinalcorn5140]

I love borders and you have such great ideas for making them! Beautiful with the watercolors.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much, Robin, spray inks would be good for this too, I think! 💗🙂💗

[@giovannacasadio9600]

I first saw these done by Betsey Doodle. She is fantastic at them, great video. I always love creative art. I wish you a great week.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much! 💗💗

[@pdmullgirl]

I love these! I think it’s a fantastic idea too. And yes, I’m definitely going to make some of these. Thanks for such a neat idea. Love it! ❤️💜💚

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Paige! 😀💗

[@darbyragghianti4719]

I love this idea, thank you so much. I definitely will be doing this to my journals and other artwork.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks, you will have fun making them and when you start, you can't stop! 😅

[@chandrakaladev6741]

Very festival. You are a celebration. Nice to listen to you.

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much! 💗😊

[@parsellart7805]

This would be great on regular stationary. I am one of those that still writes letters to people,

[@KariGibsonArt]

Oh yes, great idea - you can't beat a proper letter, I still write too! Thank you! 💗

[@bettylongshore9594]

And the possibilities are endless!!!! I hope my arthritic hands will let me do this, but I aim to give it a try!!!!!!!! This idea is OVER THE TOP exciting!!!!!!!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you very much Betty! 💗💗

[@glendadyar8975]

Oh my goodness , you are incredible! I couldn’t believe my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing! You are an awesome artist! Love, love, love!heart ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@glendadyar8975]

Ps I can’t wait to watch every video!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Glenda - you are so kind! 😀❤😀❤

[@GraceBlossoms4U]

I struggle with borders but maybe now I won’t. Thanks fir these lovelies!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Grace! 💗💗

[@gabrielearmbruster6226]

Wow sind die Borten toll. Diese Idee erde ich mir stehlen. Danke fürs teilen

[@KariGibsonArt]

Vielen Dank Gabriele - viel Spaß! 😊💗

[@ultraviolet13881]

Great idea, very inspiring! I think I'm going to try making some "vintage" looking ones, as most of my journals are in the more muted colors. How fun to make a bunch of them in different styles!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Patty, oh some vintage ones sound very effective, what a great idea! 💗

[@barbara-dj1uo]

These are above and beyond FABULOUS!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks so much Barbara! 😀❤

[@dinnyhinds3296]

I have only just found your channel, where have I been?? Lovely borders and in the United Kingdom. Love it. Thank you for your tutorial😍😍

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Dinny, I am glad you like the borders, they are great fun to make (and quite addictive!). 💗💗

[@angemac1519]

Thank you. I’ve never seen this before. I think I could have some fun with this especially if I need a bit of meditation. ❤

[@KariGibsonArt]

Definitely, there is something rather joyful about them too! 💗

[@rens3396]

These are a great idea! I like the thought of having something creative to do and make without doing a journal page. Sometimes I feel creative but don't want to do a full page, I just want to lay down some colour and doodle without making a completed piece. Sometimes I just do random backgrounds or pull Gel Prints - but these are a brilliant idea, so many possibilities. Thank you!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you, yes, they are perfect for when you just want to do something simple and fun, I love them. Have fun making some! 💗💗

[@giseleharris3203]

Love it, so creative, let your ideas, mood and personality have a party, will be adding to my journal right away. TFS

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thank you so much Gisele, that is lovely of you to say! 💗💗

[@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia]

What a great idea! I am definitely going to give these a go, just starting a new journal-have been busy making paper!

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Peg, these are very fun to make, have fun with your new journal! 💗💗

[@fuzzydragons]

the borders really finish up a page nicely 😀

[@KariGibsonArt]

Thanks Jen, yes, they do, I love them and probably will put them everywhere now! 💗💗

[@marlenegura1161]
