I’ve got to start drinking more tea!

[@TreasureBooks]

hehe Yes! Time for some tea I think :)

[@kathycultice5272]

Me too!

[@lisadiver5253]

Natasha, if you didn’t want to fiddle with using tea bags what would you recommend as an alternative to this step... could use use stained muslin, or cheese cloth?

[@tessasalkil7742]

I don't like tea, however in the usa a box of tea is less then $2 so I will just make the tea for the bags.

[@marysiniawa5371]

Lolololol

[@mistymockingbird3511]

This is the coolest project I have seen for junk journaling. I tried it this evening and was stunned at the results.

[@TreasureBooks]

I’m so glad!!!

[@moonviolet27]

This is so lovely! I really appreciate the simple materials used for those of us on limited budgets. Thank you💕

[@TreasureBooks]

My pleasure! Glad you like it and thank YOU!

[@sheilabartlett6044]

Thank you, I have always admired altered playing cards, but never sure what to do. I love your technique and so many ideas of how to use them.

[@Patricia.R.]

I have partial decks of cards! Can’t wait to make some journal cards. These would also make cute party tags. Place setting on a formal table with guests names (if we’re getting fancy), even tags on a gift or put one at each end of a ribbon and make a book mark. So, soooo many ideas! ❤️

[@carolmcinvale9085]

Natasha, I am new to junk journaling and discovered your KZbin channel this past week. I have already viewed several of your videos and I have become a fan. Thank you for the clear instructions 😊!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Carol and welcome to my channel. So glad to have you :)

[@russellmiles8783]

Amazing looking ephemera. I wish we had teabags like that in the UK but ours are crimp sealed all round. Thanks for sharing!

[@sandyheath9314]

Oh my goodness, as soon as you cut the card and I saw the scrap, I immediately thought how cute it would look in the journal too!! They're all so cute.

[@katfremont304]

What a fun project! And I loved your King voice! 🃏👑🤩😍

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you 🤗

[@suzannewolfe8506]

When I made these I sewed tea dyed lined paper on the back, then punched a hole and ribbon. I love these for my journals. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@deborahneumann9162]

VERY clever! (: A couple used spring to mind - - "Favors"... There are a lot of people that play cards in their homes, in assisted living places, et cetera; get-togethers once a month. A 'pack' of 3-5 cards could become a little booklet and gifted to everyone as 'favors' or 'scorecards' (paper on the backs, of course). "Memory Cards"... There could also be 1 tiny item or drawing or something hidden like a tiny face on each card... 2 or 3 that match. The person (child or elderly) would go through the cards and put the ones that 'match' together. This would engage the brain... a very good memory tool, I would think. And so on and so forth... (:

[@TheElfiestElf]

Was looking to antique a tarot deck for prop purposes and was recently referred to this video by a crafter friend. Very nice and a lot easier to deal with than the sanding and soaking in tea that I had done so far... and gotten very little actual result from. :D

[@TreasureBooks]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@retiredbooknerd]

Oh, how adorable!! I have lots of cards of different kinds and didn’t really know how to use them up.. I’ll be doing this right away!! 😊Thanks for sharing this lovely idea!!

[@jukeboxjaime8795]

You have inspired me to make my own distressed cards. Thank you. You did a wonderful job.

[@TreasureBooks]

I'm so glad! Have fun :)

[@queeniepop2058]

Every time I see playing cards I want to buy another pack. Now I know why. LOL. Keep an eye out for miniature cards (toy aisle at dollar stores) and enlarged ones. 😊❤

[@katemcgough6237]

Great idea to use different sizes!

[@pamelal210]

Love this idea! I've got lots of playing cards - they are nice size and weight, are easy to get at thrift stores and garage sales for next to nothing and can be used in so many ways. Thanks for another great idea - adding the tea bag really makes a difference and I'm going to try the napkins too.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Pamela. Have fun creating :)

[@sherryhearington9027]

So cute! Love it!

[@kathyguenther5866]

Brilliant idea. Busy with a journal right now and I will add some playing cards. Love the idea of using teabags.

[@conniejenskindsfather979]

Love the tunnel book idea! Telling a story appeals to me. Wondering about the weight of the paieri. And I like butterflies too, and snails.

[@julieward3813]

That looks like a cover for a cute little journal. Lovely

[@lyllydd]

I was thinking itty bitty booklet to add to a larger journal or mini-album. I've cut journal cards in half and used them as the covers of tiny accordion books for that purpose.

[@melpinkbujo]

Ah, now I have another idea what to do with all my dried teabags now 😊💞

[@angellandry4257]
