How to Mass Make Index Card Backgrounds

[@Nantzee1]

gosh I love Shanouki Art, her videos to make junk journals is amazing

[@toniakoblens7486]

Every time I see one of your videos I think “that’s the best explanation and technique I’ve seen so far”. And this video again: I love how you take your time to show every step, and I this case you even made a new video because the other one got lost. Master Ceri, I can only say: you are the best teacher. Thank you so much. Xxx

[@ShanoukiArt]

Awesome video, thank you so much for the mention and your lovely comments about my work ❤️

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are more than welcome, your talent inspires me. Thank you

I’ve watched close to 20 something videos on how to make index cards for backgrounds for journals and I enjoyed yours the most of all. It was a very calming experience, and I love the way your cards turned out. They are so unique and have a look of abstract impressionism that inspires me beyond words. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. 💜

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much I’m happy it was helpful.

[@anaarce1020]

I APPRECIATE THAT U SHARE UR PERSONALITY, STRUGGLES AS U TEACH. IT MAKES ME FEEL MORE NORMAL. THANKS

[@juanitamattick7451]

Thank you thank you thank you it was the one with the toadstools and yes I was going to make them then I was so excited and guess what I received the phone call while I was watching things and when I went back but I messed the whole thing up and it disappeared so I'm so sad and so disappointed in I never got to try it but I wanted to tell you that I appreciated your thoughtfulness so much I really enjoy your videos they're so they're so fantastic you're teaching teaching showing explaining and it's always done so sweetly like you know beat anybody over the head or anything and you're just the greatest just sorry I messed up and didn't get to try the toadstool exercise but anyway thanks a lot

Where have you been all my life? Just discovered you this morning while searching for new craft room ideas and I can’t stop watching!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you and welcome.

[@victoriabergesen6775]

I made a bunch of these of 4x6" cards and used them to make autumn leaf die cuts. Very effective and fun.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fabulous

[@eileenthirling3676]

I just discovered you yesterday. So I'm binge watching you. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you from the north east of UK.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you and welcome, I’m in South Shields once a month filming so I’m familiar with your local.

[@jansands7410]

So glad I found you on KZbin! You have taught me so many useful things! I've been paper crafting for about 30 years, and am still learning! Thank you, Ceri! 🤟🌴

[@CeriGriffiths]

Jan, we are all still learning and if someone thinks they’ve learnt everything then they’re wrong, we are constantly changing and developing as artists.

[@Barbarachocolate1956]

Ohhhhh, yet another outstanding Ceri Creation! Love how you narrate your thoughts. I, too, tend to overthink everything. Mass making is so soothing for the artsy brain. Love you!

[@marilyntorsch3970]

Your cards turned out beautifully. Enjoyed watching the process. Gayle said to come watch your process, fantastic idea. Gayle made some beautiful cards too. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@CeriGriffiths]

You’re welcome and thank you, I watch Gayle every day and she warms my soul.

[@flip416]

I'm sorry this is a year later, but I recently stumbled across your channel and I have been enjoying it so very much! Your attention to detail is inspiring! I just got into junk journaling about two weeks ago, so I don't have all the things yet, but I definitely want to try this one out when I get my inks!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun creating and welcome.

[@janedegrow9226]

Really enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@sandradube9014]

Ceri I love love this video. You opened my eyes use stains in this way. I try it and fell in love. Thank you for sharing!

[@CeriGriffiths]

I'm so glad

[@bridgetjones8339]

Thank you for telling us about the stitching stamps! That’s a game changer for me. I’ve been trying to figure out how to fit my journal back into my sewing machine after I’ve put my signatures in when I’ve decided I wanted more stitching.

[@thehobbyhobbit1774]

I just love your commentaries.

[@Melinda-S]

What a fabulous idea! Thank you for sharing. (I watch videos on my TV, so I do bulk commenting every so often.)

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@leasaharmon7700]

Ceri, you are so awesome! Please don't ever stop making your videos. You are professional, but real, which makes it very fun to watch your videos. You make me want to come visit England just because of your accent and tidbits about your "garden", "rubbish", etc ☺️. Thank you for reaching and sharing.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Leasa, I will continue to make video as long as I’m able.

[@pamhendricks7800]

These are fabulous! Can’t wait to give this a try. Your process videos are awesome

[@mandyofmarymac]

Stitching stamps are wonderful~they save cleaning your sewing machine after glue gums up the works. Thanks for all the wonderful tips. xx

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yup already have a selection of those but forget to use them.

[@beckeybrown]

I just found your videos!!! what a happy day for me! I have just started my Junk Journaling and your videos by far have been so well done and you make it easy to follow! I am just so excited I found your site! Thank you From North Carolina US. ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Beckey and welcome to my channel.

[@pamminevins3818]

Watching a second time! I got a tile to use for the inks and I got a good array of cards. But I forgot what you do next!!! Lol. So watching the process again this morning. It’s a wintery windy sunny day here in New Mexico. So my cards are drying nicely in the sunshine awaiting the next step after the inking part!!!

Have fun.

I was excited to find a book with hand writing by well known writers; Jane Austen, Oscar Wild, and about fifteen others. I found it at my library. Of course they would only be usable for personal or gifted journals. My point is mostly to check out your library and take your camera phone.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Good idea.

[@judiemjacobson4613]

Just beautiful I think I will give it a try. One of my goals 422 is to get my stash built up. But I'm also working on two journals and two of my junk Journal greeting cards so I'm busy there too
