How to Make Pretty Playing Cards for Junk journals! Easy Junk Journal Embellishment! Paper Outpost!

[@eileendean2713]

On the back you could use one of the white layers removed from a decorative napkin.

[@nonstopmom8185]

That's what I do. Sometimes they even have a tiny bit of color from the printed side so it looks like a stain or something.

[@patriciaruppert201]

Good afternoon Pam. Aren’t you magically creative. Love this idea. Simple but fun. Big hugs. ❤️❤️❤️

[@angelaharrison4965]

I just remembered that I have a deck of cards in my stash!! Fun will begin in a brief moment!😊

[@robinmuddiman7194]

There are no rules!!!!!! Love it! Stress free!!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Oh ya! :)

[@sallysmith2937]

Just seeing this now. So random how the videos pop up. Love it and hearing your birds come alive at the end was priceless!!

[@beautifulmama862]

I'm going to try this once I get home from camping!!!! Looks like fun

[@kellyratliff3473]

I really like that you show us many different things to make from one idea

[@terrytulipane6916]

Your enthusiasm is delightful.

[@anitapearson2977]

I'm back on trying to study about playing cards. I've done some before but I'm studying again. Thank you Pam.

[@ritagodfrey8113]

I have had a whale of a time with playing cards. I have also cut some in half for mini decorated cards.

[@kathrynhelm4176]

How fun are those! I’ve covered a card before but never thought about making a pocket or side tuck...perfect. They ARE the cutest little pockets ever! 🤣😂🥰❤️

[@pandagood7145]

Loved the idea of napkin on the card for journaling

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

YES, ton o fun, currently I am doing a 52 week - deck of card challenge that we decorate one card a week; thus we go thru an entire deck of cards to make the year of flat out fun.

[@LB-vl3qn]

Anyone who uses napkins for decoupage has the white layers we peel off. This is an excellent use for those leftovers. And, bless you for saying out loud that not everything we put into our journals has to have a writing space. The purpose of some additions is simply to add beauty. Missed hearing Holly today but the love birds provided a lovely accompaniment. ~ Lisa

[@juneribbons5196]

I do love these little journaling cards !!! Would you ever just glue another layer of napkin on it to make it more opaque ?? I love the roses and the thistle.

[@ericaj.m.1780]

Pam, you never fail to amaze me 😂🤣 bloody brilliant

[@loisfinch1569]

Hi from PA! Delighted to have u visit over my morning cuppa joe! ( late riser) lol I have so many decks of playing cards. Love this idea! Will b busy making tuck cards and pockets. You r a delight to start off my day! I too have tosses things over the years I lament about. Wish I had started junk journals in my twenties. Haha have a great day! Hugs!

[@christineobrien7601]

I made some of those awhile ago from a farmers almanac now > I can finish happy happy thanks Pam.

[@janetgeist8505]

❤ love these playing cards ❤

[@deannabates1575]

Lol. You asked yourself, “Why do I always sound like I’m teaching romper room?” I’ve wondered if your are a retired teacher ever since finding you. You are so encouraging and really good at explaining things.

[@anneherschleb2096]

These are so pretty

[@JellicleKat]

I love this idea. My favorite was the music paper with roses.

[@KD-yy6on]

Wow so beautiful Pam how strange you must of known I been wanting to make a load of journaling cards and how lovely with great tips from you for me to get some done tfs Pam sending love and wishes from London x x

[@susan6038-u4g]

To ink or not to ink... 4 cards done and I kept up with you! ❤️

[@denise.streitman8113]

Going to try tissue wrapping paper, some even have sparkles already on it...win win

[@trazanna]

That's gotta be the cutest pocket ever! :)

[@jennieadamsMM]

Those darn peelie-uppies! 😉🤗💕🦋🌸

[@minaparish8665]

I've learned two really neat things watching you today 😊. First, love the sanding block tip (by the way, Dollar Tree has them). And secondly, I love how you placed a small magnet on your glue bottle so the pins don't get lost. Thank you so much! I love your videos 💕

[@jenevahnoel5107]

Awesome save for my random playing cards. Sooo cute!

[@dtkeen65]

Ty for give us more ideas for these cards.

[@Wvnursey]

Awesome!!!!! Gonna try this today! Thanks for the continued inspiration!

[@suzannehalesuzzz4895]

[@hodgepodgecottage2674]

Hello Pam & Crafty Friends! 🙂 I Love these Pam! These are the Nicest Designs I've seen using playing cards! Love your Style! Soo Pretty! Great for journals, happy mail! Pretty to place in a little Picture Frame! Wishing Everyone a Wonderful Weekend!

[@marciataylor4077]

How FUN!

[@catbroda3590]

Great project. Thanks for all the giggles. I was an avid "Romper Room" kid, so I'm waiting patiently for you to pull out the "magic mirror". lol

[@pennybergmen8933]

WOW! Romper Room! Not many people know what that is any more!

[@brookemarsing3293]

I love altered playing cards! So fun!

[@pennybergmen8933]

good timing for ME! Thank you! I am reorganizing my stuff and labeling all of it so I can FIND the stuff I want to use, instead of wandering around looking for it........found a LOT of cards.....a whole big box full, and I was going to ask you HOW to use them! Thank you!!!!!!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You are so welcome!

[@aurorarodriguez9500]

These are really neat! Love them. As you mentioned, Would b fun to see some projects with wrapping paper.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Coming soon!

[@amouramarie]

You are rad and funny. I'm loving these videos! :D Sanding block is a great idea, gonna have to remember that one.

[@sherrygraham8650]

Love the tear away magazine idea and I have 2 tons of old ones. As for art glitter glue, I just got my first bottle of it. It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. So enjoyed my last cup of coffee with you this morning and I will be looking for my decks of cards I have stashed somewhere.

[@rubyputnam8526]

Hi Pam! What a fun idea. I think they turned out so cute. Time for crafting with reckless abandonment 🙂✂️📎🖌📏📖📚📁📜🏷📨

[@clairegagne6906]

Oh boy, now I need to go a thrift shop to find some playing cards. These are great for albums/folios. Be safe & TYFS

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

I love to use playing cards too. Learned 2 great tips from you today. Using that sanding block on the edges instead of cutting it, putting a small magnet on my glitter glue to hold the pins. Lolol. You crack me up. I was laughing and you said I hear you stop laughing. The more I watch your channel the more I love you. Hugs, Diana.

[@brigittethebusystitcher]

They are really nice!

[@georgenerosato7621]

What a fun idea

[@dianeboynton3069]

You can fine some of the coolest things and use them making amazing things

[@trishmillard9857]

Yep! Cutest little pocket ever! Thank you for sharing. Love your creativity.

[@anita4291]

Super cute, Pam!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Glad you like it!

[@ek9457]

You're killing me! I've been cleaning out my house over the past couple of months to sell it and as soon as I decide to throw something away, you do a video about that very piece of "junk". Me: I'll never do anything with these old books (tosses them into the trash); Pam: Look at what we can do with old books today! Me: (after sorting through 3 boxes of games and toys) There are still five cards missing from this deck (tosses them into the trash); Pam: Look at what we can do with playing cards today! This is a great project for an incomplete deck! Like I said, you're killing me! 😄

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Me: Laughing....I am constantly dragging something out of the studio trash, Goodwill Box or studio recycle bin because I keep hearing there is a good use for it. And yep, there is a good use for it.

[@karriegress5969]

I know what you mean, I was doing a total declutter of books, hardcover books, paper, cards, etc. and then a couple months later, I discovered junk journals and now I'm like...ugh

[@karenhoffmann9992]

Too funny but so true!

[@terrytulipane6916]

I was doing seriously cleaning BEFORE I got into paper crafting..... I think I threw a 1950s Sears & Roebuck small catalog into the bag that we took to Goodwill 😱

[@grhaz2010]

🤣

[@hoxiedove9276]

Love your singing and your romper room talk❤️❤️❤️

[@leerowley70]

These are wonderful! Definitely digging up my old incomplete decks! Thanks so much!

[@debrak5314]

I have a deck of cards on my desk waiting their turn. They just jumped to the top!

[@loriwetmore620]

Hi Pam!🌸🤗🐝 Just love these! I picked up a package of playing cards from Dollar Tree recently and I am looking forward to trying this!! So thank you for sharing with us in the Romper room( I used to love that show) about 6 decades ago🤪🤪🤪. You make me happy and after all...laughter is the best medicine!🦋💖😄Lori🍀

I'm afraid to throw anything away b/c I KNOW Pam will eventually come up with something to do with it!!!!!! NEVER throw old books away, that I do know!!!!!!! Pam, you are AMAZING!!!!!! You could put out 10 videos a day and it would not be too many or enough!!!!! Please keep up the GREAT work!!!!!!!!

[@nelsonshakespeare2881]

Way cool and yes yes yes x 10 on the havin' fun scale! Hello fine feathered cuties.🐦 It was good to hear your "so long song".👋

Such fun. Gonna try this. Would love to have projects made with wrapping paper.

[@DonnaHarris3578]

I’m going to try this for sure. Looks like fun.

[@sallystepp1964]

I used wrapping paper and it was very easy to do and fun.

[@rbeck1987]

Morning Pam! Another great idea, plus a good way to use up the pile of magazines that may or may not be laying around my house, disposable glueing surfaces!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Have fun!

[@nancivessells1909]

Those are cute. you are so funny. you make my day!

Yet again... another amazing idea. Thank you, Pam! Blessings! :)

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You are so welcome!

[@susiescraftroomandstudio]

Gorgeous cards. Blessings and Hugs 🤗

[@TheBayoubreeze]

Awesome! Thanks 👍

[@MaAllen417]

When you separate napkins you could use the backing in place of the handmade paper.

[@juneribbons5196]

Pam these are so stinking pretty. I have to make some of them. I saw a set of them made with the Alice Through the Looking Glass theme that were just darling. Also love, love, love the pink flowers you used on one of them I was just emptying a box in my bedroom and came across some playing cards that my friends and myself had left over when we merged two decks to make a Penichole deck out of used cards we got from our local Cassino. I've been seeing these used in many crafts so they went into my craft supplies. Yeah !!! Would a nail kit with the different grits work just as good as a sanding block for getting rid of gloss finishes ?

[@martiseelye6443]

ATCs! I love this technique. tyfs

[@callywayish]

Brilliant! Thank you for all your creative ideas! Even I can do this (only have use of one hand due to disability) very zen as you said ... I have cards we never use like a rummy deck! Lucky charms accent makes me laugh ... you brighten my day... I love those sanding blocks ... I ordered from your amazon page. So easy for the one working hand to use! I love the detail you give us as in the example of sanding down the old book page

[@rjr618]

I love your videos, never know what you're going to get! Fun and ideas galore! I wasn't laughing til you said not to laugh
