Making Ephemera with Index Cards

Hi Friends! Today I decided to make some ephemera using index cards I picked up from our local Heb Grocery Store. They are such a great basic supply for junk journaling and a fun little craft! It's also a great scrap buster! I hope you guys join me and make some too! Just pull out some scraps, and book pages. You can definitely pick up some of the digitals I'm using, I'm having a sale for you guys! or just use what you have! If you don't have index cards on hand, any cardstock or even junk mail (like mailers) will do! We're going to cover them up anyways! Just trim it to 3.5x5 or whatever size you like and join me!
Here are some of the Digitals I used:

[@jenniferperrine7846]

Great idea with the masking tape! Love watching you build layers. I think I say that every video. My fav is the tickets over the top with the eyelet. Tfs

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you, Jennifer! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It actually helps me to hear feedback to kind of know what types of videos to keep making, so I truly appreciate it! I love the ticket at the top with the eyelet too! I just used it again with another kit and love how it reinforces the hole and adds a bit of interest. Thank you for stopping by! 💖

[@BeAgainBooks]

Love these Lidia! I always need these kinds of journaling cards to stuff pockets, so thanks for the ideas!

[@RaindropLila7]

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

I really enjoyed this video, so I saved it in my favorites. It was such a soothing video. Here it is now after midnight, and I'm collaging index cards. Lol! I love your videos. Hugs, Diana. P.S. I loved when your husband brought your glue. So cute.❤

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you so much, Diana! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Aw, it really was so kind of him. 🥰

Such inspiration!! Blessings to you from Ohio.

Thank you so much! Blessings from Texas!

[@SparklesCreationsArt]

I agree Miss Lidia and your work is beautiful. Since I AM STILL WAITING for ink, I will maybe try some of these today with junk on my desk 💜

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you so much, Sparkle! That sounds like a great idea!

[@laurad.756]

Lol! 😂 You’re such a rebel.

[@RaindropLila7]

I know, I totally feel a little bit rebellious when it comes to little things that don't matter. I think that's why I love junk journaling! It's almost like a rebellious scrapbooker. I remember when the emphasis that was placed on using everything acid free, which I do understand. But if you want to use your own memorabilia you have to seal it and spray it... Lol. I remember I just wanted to craft. 😆 But I do understand when you want to learn techniques, you do have to follow rules, but once you got them down, then you can break them and make new trends! 🙌🏻 Well, I have to say that's for art. I realize in life rules are important. But I think it's important to look at the whys. Can you tell I feel a bit strong on the subject. 😃

[@laurad.756]

@@RaindropLila7 I totally agree. When scrapbooking started becoming a 'big deal', I didn't have the budget to purchase all the supplies and used what I had. It was more important to save my photos where we could enjoy them.

[@peggyharwell3674]

I hope you found the newly organized items. That was so comical, i am still chuckling. I had to subscribe so i can recall your creativity and your "misplaced" comment.

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you Peggy! Welcome to my channel! I am still wondering where those went! I need to take another minute and look through all my file boxes. lol.

[@sheliaporter6795]

These are very pretty! I have never collaged small things before. I just started collaging and so far have only collaged 5.5 x 8.5 papers with scraps. But, I love this idea and will definitely try it. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤😊

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you, Sheila! I always love collaging smaller pieces, but really need to make some masterboards now. 🥰

[@susanstarks3336]

Love them

[@RaindropLila7]

thanks Susan!

[@eviegorecki5356]

Wonderful tags ❤

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you, Evie! 🤍

[@donnacarraway9182]

I am moving and reorganizing my massive craft collection in the process! I’m actually making a list of what I have and in my new craft space I will make a map of it…that’s the only way I know of to keep track of stuff!!😊

[@RaindropLila7]

Wow! What a great idea!!

[@deniseabate-smith1933]

[@user-tz9dq8fv5g]

Oh goodie I found you again, I was introduced to your channel when the garden story collaboration was on. I love the idea of your large butterfly journal. I am new to junk Journaling. I just followed your links and got the printables. I have not made a master board yet. I love the idea to start small with the index cards. Thanks for sharing.

[@RaindropLila7]

aw, yay! I'm so glad you found me again! 😃The butterfly has definitely been such a fun little journal to work in! Welcome to Junk Journaling! It's really so much fun! I definitely love smaller projects! They get done quickly and almost feels like instant gratification! lol. I'm so glad you are here!

[@stormyswann6177]

Thank you for explaining what you are thinking. So often I wonder " why did they pick that??"

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment! It's actually so helpful to get feedback! :)

[@donnacarraway9182]

P.s. love your style! Also, have hearing issues and although your music is pretty, it would help if it could be half as loud. Hope you understand that!😊

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you for the input. I've actually been working on that. ☺️
