Annette Green photocopies a playing card so that it's a bit bigger (and white on the other side) to create a decorated pocket that a regular size playing card can tuck into as a tag. She also shows how to create a frame with kings, queens, jacks..... Find that video here.
Here's the video that shows gluing tiny bits of book pages to playing cards and turning them really vintage-y. Fun, easy process! Find it here. #Treasure Books
Week 3 - Playing Card Tags | Summer Fun Ephemera
Challenge - Let's make Ephemera Series
Sweet Bee Designs Co. (22:10)
Tash Marie Makes created some grunged-up yet sorta simple ATCs....she's pasted 3 cards on top of each other (a little thick?), then tissue paper for texture and so inks will stick.....They look great! See the video here.
Cathy's Garden covers playing cards with watered down Elmer's gue, then covers with thin paper - tissue, napkins, etc.....then embellishes with a word or two, puts int a small grommet and hangs off a couple of beads. Super cool! Video's here.
Shanouki decoupages her cards (with both pattern paper, then napkins), adding lots of distress ink. Then she sews on a piece of vellum for a pocket and shows a couple of cute little tags to go into the pockets. I want to make a whole deckful of these! Watch how.
Brenda Clark aka The Happy Crafter takes 10 playing cards at a time and gets them ready for more embellishments. She uses torn paper, tissue paper, washi tape, and oxide paints. See the YouTube video here.
Two Old Crows Mixed Media makes an accordian booklet that holds 10 cards (or more). They look pretty darned easy! Video here.
Sue's Journal Adventures uses two playing cards the same size to create a framed opening that shows another card inside. She uses acetate to cover it, but I don't think you really have to. A bit of work, but very worth it, artistic and fun. See the YouTube video here.
