Hello Paper Artists 30 Oct 21
I made a video of this small book using the new Collection of Vintage Cut & Creates shown in the previous posting. You could call it a junk journal but it is really just a small book to illustrate some of the ways of using Vintage Cut & Creates. The concept could be taken to junk journals, art journals, larger albums & cardmaking
This collection includes 8 papers full of ephemera high-quality 300 dpi, jpg format.
Available at: Etsy Shop
Dimensions: cover 12"wide x7'5" with a 1" spine in centre.
Signature #1 is 11.5"wide x6" high with 0.75" spine in centre
Tea dyed vellum 8.5" wide x 4" high with 0.7" spine in the centre
Signature #2 is 12" wide x 5" high with a 2" fold over at one end & a 0.5" spine in the centre of the balance of the 10".
Let your creativity enjoy these papers & create beautiful art.
NEW Vintage Ephemera Cut & Creates - designed especially for Vintage Paper Arts & Junk Journal Artists. If you love making Junk Journals or Vintage Art, then these images are ideal & a must to add to your stash
The designs will inspire you to create in new & different directions & add more ideas to your styles For some ideas on how to use ephemera in junk journals, please visit my YouTube Channel to see several videos of
the card is designed to stand on display - more details on the video
Ivory cardstock 7.25"hi x 12" - score at 5.25" from left & 2" from right to create the tuck
inside of the card - tuck spot on the right for $$ or notes
Aloe Vera Green cardstock 5.75" square
A tuck spot is created by using a framed cut & create
This is a vertical card - made from a scrap piece 4.75" x 12"
Inside of card - a complementary card piece is covered with lace & used as a tuck spot
All of the images are from the 40 paper bundle at: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1079528913
Hope this gives you some ideas in using Cut & Creates on cards. The large images on the fronts are the Art Papers 4"x5" - they are also in 8.3'x11" size.
I love decorating the inside - when a card is given, words are exchanged on the front & the inside is usually used for the sentiment. But when an inside is decorated there is a WOW factor. You do not have to go over the top as I have - can't help myself.
There are 5 sections of these papers all in high-quality 300dpi, JPG format but in 3 different sizes.
#1: 8 Background papers in shades of shabby chic - 8.3”x11” - can be used for any backgrounds - cards, tags, journal pages, art journals, mini albums … cut to the size you want & use the scraps for die cuts, strips like washi tape, ticket frames.
#2: The above background papers with art - 8.3”x11” - are ideal for large projects - cards, journals, embellish & use in a 3D frame for a gift
#3: 8 of The art papers in ‘#2’ reduced to 4”x5” - are a great size for cards, tags, postcards & journals - they already have a background so are ready to embellish
#4: 8 of Cut & Creates includes 1 sheet of word tickets - 8.3”x11”
These are also available in a separate listing. will impact any papercraft project.
#5: 8 of Journal papers in vintage shabby chic 10”x7” - cut in half or fold for 5”x7” pages - designed for art journals or shabby chic junk journals but, and there is always a but, why not do some layering using the small art papers, the cut & creates, add some word tickets, some die cuts, flowers, lace & ribbons & what else??
All of the papers can be mixed as you want to make your own shabby chic art
Hope you love the bundle & are inspired to create

I have enjoyed playing with the new Sherlock is Puzzled Collection.
There are 2 Journals on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vSpZ2OtspU&t=2s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI6pqDN4x58
There is always some left for a card:
Mocha cardstock 12"w x 6"hi with scares at 4.5" & 9"
Cream jute twine, black cardstock
The cover has a background from one of the journal papers; the cut & create is fussy cut, foam mounted & allowed to have a 3D effect. There is a strip of black cardstock on the edge. Jute twine is wrapped around the front & the first score.
The inside of the card. The 2 Sherlocks are framed in black & mounted flat. The background paper in the centre is from the same journal paper used on the front
The 3rd panel is closed over to show that it also has a black strip on its edge; the magnifying glass is framed in black, foam mounted, has a piece of jute twine tied around it & acts as a tuck spot for the 2 tags tucked in it.
The back is simple with a Sherlock quote framed in black & flat-mounted
Hope you get some ideas from this trifold card - the style can be adapted to any kind of theme.
Have a lock at the videos for more ideas using this Collection

Hello Paper Artists
The new Collections for end of July (only just made it):
Sherlock is Puzzled.
The Cut & Creates are for the lovers of Sherlock BUT also for the lovers of Vintage Cut & Creates - add to a Vintage Junk Journal; use on cards, projects for men - anywhere your creativity needs them.
Video of both sets of papers:
Cut & Creates - 8 papers 8.3x11" high quality 300 dpi, jpg format. Of the 8 papers, there are 2 devoted to Sherlock Holmes images & words while the other 6 contain vintage ephemera.
To Purchase: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1042917456/sherlock-is-puzzled-cut-creates-sherlock
Background Papers - 10 papers high quality 300 dpi, jpg format. Of the 10 papers, there are 8 that are 8.3x11" to be used in that size or cut for cards or journal pages while the other 2 are 10"x7".
A journal 10"wide x 7" high can be made by using the 2 papers as backgrounds & cut the others to fit for pages. Any of the papers can be printed several times to perfectly suit your art project.
To Purchase: https://www.etsy.com/MegsGardenPapercraft/1042910932
If you are not into Sherlock, then just toss the 2 Sherlock Cut & Create papers & call the collection ‘Vintage Journal’. I plan on doing a fun mystery journal or card - just make up your own mystery so that the recipient has to solve the puzzle.

Hello Paper Artists
Continuing with our latest theme of Nature - they are new in style but are all related to Nature’s Garden.
Introducing 3 different themes - each one has 8 papers - high-quality 300dpi, JPG format on 8.3”x11” papers Each theme can be purchased separately.
1. Nature’s Garden Flora
Designed for cardmaking, adding to junk or art journals, floral tags, or anywhere a smiling flower is needed.
A beautiful flower can be a necessity or the ultimate addition to a papercraft art project.
All you need for a Sea Garden is water & a blue sky:
An actual sea is ideal but if you have a lake or river, a background pool or even a blow-up rubber pool you have a sea garden. If you have a backyard pool, put up a sign “BEACH”, add some large fake shells, some fishnet draped on the fence & you are on the beach.
I have just made a seachange & moved from the Adelaide Hills to the seaside of Victor Harbor. A move can create such havoc in one's life & really disturbs the mojo.
The Journal used the latest collection; More Nature Journals:
Hope you enjoy it & that it gives you some new ideas.
