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.❣

[@ImeldaFagin]

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

[@KariGibsonArt]

Great idea, thanks Imelda! 💗

[@kimberlywalker280]

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

[@KariGibsonArt]

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

[@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! 💗💗

[@Cindy-sb5dv]

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

[@KariGibsonArt]

Yes! Thank you Cindy! 💗😊💗

[@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! 💗💗

[@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! 💗💗

[@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! 😀💗

[@opal777]

As soon as I saw this, I thought...Bible journal borders! Cheap and effective. Thanks for sharing!

[@KariGibsonArt]

That would be so gooood, great idea! 💗💗

[@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! 😊💗💗

[@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! 💗💗

[@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

[@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! 💙

[@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! 💗😊

[@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!

[@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! 💗😃💗

[@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! 💗💗

[@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! 💗😊

[@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! 😀❤

[@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! 💝💝

[@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! 💗😃💗

Thank you! 💗💗

[@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! 💗💗

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! 💗😊
