Napkin Scraps into Ephemera 

Time spent watching you is always a pleasure, no matter how long or how short. You are a true gem of an artist! Hugs ❤

Don't you feel thar some of our best work comes from procrastination? To me that's part of the creative process. Never apologize for taking time to do what you feel makes your creations better.

OH MY GOSH! I can't wait to do this! I have so many napkins, so many book pages and so many ugly 12x12 pages! Brilliant!

I love your work. Sometimes I feel like I am right there sitting beside you watching you. Easy to watch you. Thank you so much.

Ceri, it’s always nice to see those who are processing the “struggle “ and don’t edit that out. It gives me hope for my own moments! I love this idea for using up the napkins and will be doing this sometime down the road.

Ceri I laughed out loud about your American words. I have lived in all regions of America and have picked up all the colloquial words. Now, I watch many youtubers from Great Britain and my new words are dodgy, Figity, knackered around, and many others. I love❤ your process videos. I am a late bloomer in the art world, but I am enjoying it.

I’m so enjoying your videos. I am overawed with your collections of labels and butterflies etc ! I don’t have enough years left in my life to collect that many😂😂

Hi Ceri I have been following your channel for a while and you have inspired me so much. However I do have a little tip for you and this is through my own trials and tribulations; instead of using cling film try a ziplock freezer bag, they work the same and you can wash the pritt-stick off and reuse them, saving money and the environment 😊 it works for me ❤ Michelle ❤️

I love to listen to your calm voice. So many people on the internet are speaking loud and like they are in a hurry all the time. I have an hearing problem, so its very difficult to understand what someones is saying when it goes so quick. And I like your crafting too. It's very inspiring. Thank you for all those wonderful videos.

Whenever I’m too tired to craft I watch you to do it virtually. 🙂

I agree I don’t always want to listen to a whole video but I am enjoying listening to your voice as you explain your methods. Thank you for making it interesting. I am inspired. Beautiful art!

I loved the result in each one.

Great work Ceri. I don’t have 3 drawers of napkins but suddenly I fell the need to play with the ones I have

You are a beautiful person Ceri. Thank you for this well spoken, from the heart video.

I absolutely love your master-boards and the fact that you cut them up and then decorate your tags, pockets etc. Thank you so much!

What a good idea to sort left-over napkin pieces in a see-through packeg. You're so darn good with your trillion ideas. Thanks Ceri. Welcome to a New Year.🎉 2024.

In the UK there is an online shop called the Napkin shop where you can buy single napkins, they cost about 34p each.

Ceri: I simply like what you did. No crafter should ever apologize for anything that happens on a video. I feel very strong on that point. Videos are time consuming and are not always easy to produce. The viewer needs to understand that. Carol-GofG from California

I watch double speed but I understand everything. Just got used to it. Saves me time.

Lovely as always. 2024 is my year of just doing. No more just watching and thinking I should do that. Because I watch artists from all over the world (especially the UK), I find I’ve started to use words or phrases. I quite like being different. Thanks for sharing.

I really like how you did the piercing of the napkins. They made some beautiful cards.

Brilliant trick of burnishing using the plastic wrap!

Just beautiful. Such a great process, embarrassed to admit I haven’t seen the plastic wrap use to smooth over the napkins. Genius. #AlwaysSaveTheButterflies lol I think it’s written in ancient writings that it’s a huge sin to guillotine a butterfly lol 🤣

Not only is your art stunning but I just love your voice.

I never get tired of listening to you and I find I can take something of what you show or teach me and use it in my crafting. I'm very disorganized and I'm not super talented but I enjoy the process so I continue on but I really enjoy your videos

These turned out fabulous. Love them. And all your 'elements'.

Thank you for sharing your methods. You’ve taught me to be fearless

You are always inspiring, Ceri. Love your "think throughs" as they encourage me to try, and also to not be so hard on myself. Your work is lovely, as usual. Thank you. 💐 🙏🏽💞

That would have been beautiful as a picture in a frame.

Beautiful! You have developed a gorgeous and very distinctive style. When Gayle A shared your card to her on her video the other day she didn’t need to say who it was from. It was obvious. 😊

I always enjoy your videos and would never skip or speed up. I like hearing what you share (on or off the subject of crafting) and the tips you have about different processes. Your videos are never too long. Also I liked seeing how you handled and solved the problem of not liking anything you tried on the last tag. It's helpful and great for learning to see how you came to a conclusion. Also, that is a lot of comments to deal with while you have so much going on. Maybe just a thumbs up unless there's a question. I think people will understand. You're only one person and can only do so much. Thank you for your hard work! ❤

I love this technique. Tfs. I agree with you about social media taking up a lot of time, if you don't watch out. I, too, love Pinterest!

Those all turned out beautifully. And yes . . . that is Virginia. 😊

Great video. I love to watch your process. The trick with the cling film is genius. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Very nice! I do have to agree the struggle is real! I haven't been watching your channel for very long but I am enjoying it very much!

Sooo pretty! That rose napkin is STUNNING!! I have some music sheets and book pages that I mod podged napkins on that I like to use in my junk journals too! I enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing! 🥰🥰

You have some beautiful napkins, I was enjoying watching you go through them. Sadly, Bed Bath and Beyond closed their stores but there’s a few stores here that have some nice napkins. Another great inspirational video, Ceri, time to get out the napkins! ❤

Ceri I like the way you use your creativity to enhance the papers. You're very inspiring!

Thank you so much for this demonstration and for the tips on decoupaging with napkins. I love this project! I hope you're staying warm and well!☃️

Using the plastic wrap is brilliant!

Just finished a napkin collage. Thanks for the inspiration!

Yes heard of it in the last 12 months and I’m not going anywhere but my craft and household stuff was chocking me. I didn’t have family and thought my nieces and nephews wouldn’t thank me. So have spent about 3 months doing one drawer or one cupboard at a time. It’s been fantastic and made the place less cluttered and easier to clean and I feel so much better. Great idea and then you can just focus on a smaller area of craft etc.

I LOVE you, your videos and watching you "make magic happen"! ❣️😉

All your ephemera turned out so pretty. Love how you used scrap pieces of napkin. TFS❤

What a great way to start the new year :))) Thank you, Ceri and A Very Happy, Creative, And Healthy New Year 2024❤

You are doing a great job, no apologies on taking too much time. I'm loving it!

I could watch you go through this process for hours on end. ❤ Belinda xxx

The lighting is absolutely fine! I'm glad you didn't discard this video.

Just beautiful, I could frame it and hang it whole without cutting it. ❤

After watching this video made one as per your instructions and it worked beautifully! Thank you so much for your concise directions and that you include every hint you can. I am now watching everything you have put out there!

Appreciate your hints on applying the napkins.

I have really enjoyed watching your process.

I really loved this video and what you've created!!!

What a refreshing man! Your channel is lovely and just know that me and my little grandmother absolutely adore your channel and all the ideas you offer! Love from two Cuban girls - Gina and Zoraida

These are absolutely beautiful!

I ❤ this! The results are SO beautiful!

These turned out absolutely beautiful💐🦋

Thanks for the idea using napkins. I love these!

wow what a wonderful video - thank you so much xx

BEAUTIFUL ❤

this is lovely. great idea. thank you. judy from Canada

I've just been using up scraps on cardstock junk mail, to make masterboards, adding napkin scraps is a great idea, thanks for the inspiration!! 💜💜💜

Hi Ceri! Well, YT and the universe have thrown us together again. Earlier today I was going through my napkins and making some card bases for future projects. It seems like there is some connection between Cardiff and Oregon. So, I have subscribed to your channel and am ready for wherever the ride is taking us... Woo Hoo!!!

These are stunning

love the process

very interesting watching you work!😊

I loved your warrior mask. Luv'd it! 🎉❤

Beautiful!

Love how these turned out. I like the darker ink! I snagged a few bird napkins at a Christmas party, now have to find the pocket I put them in! Thanks for the great video!

Love these so much. Tfs

Great lesson! I'm looking forward to trying this.

Ceri, I pray you’re safe and well from all the floods!🤗💖🦋

So fun, thanks❤

Ceri...this is just beautiful. I have many napkins and can't wait to try this. Thank you for all your hints and tips with the napkins also. Happy 2024 to you and Biscuit!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing. 🎉❤

Very enjoyable!

Loving your technique!

😮😊 it's really pretty

Lovely Ceri!!!

Thank you for your xsharing I like the way for using napking

Wow, so pretty!

Wonderful inspiration, thanks Ceri!

Awesome idea❤

love watching a,d learning

It’s cold and wet here too in Portland Oregon! Love this cuz I have sooo many napkins I need to use and especially scraps

I love this idea of different bits of napkin on a masterboard with book pages and/or music sheets. Your one is just lovely. It would be super to scan it so you can print off more copies for journal pages or backgrounds. I will definitely be trying this out so thanks for sharing.

Hey Ceri! I too get caught up in social media for hours if I'm not careful. Okay, so the saran wrap over the napkin... brilliant! I've never seen that before 😊 Beautiful master board my friend 👏

All your ephemera turned out so beautiful☺

Excellent tip to use the bits and bobs of napkins❤

Love this video from beginning to end🤗🦋💖

Hey you wonderful creator. I hate to break it to you, but you are a creator and a very creative one at that. Most creative people’s minds work really fast and if your chronic pain is like mine your body’s not keeping up. If your commenters don’t understand that maybe they need to and show a little appreciation for your kindness and courage in showing how to do something you love. Nobody’s perfect, but I think you’re pretty good at explaining how to. I have chemo brain and can only focus on one thing at a time and a newbie at 64 years of age. Don’t listen or think about negativity only positivity. I guarantee you will have more positive than negative. You give me a lot of inspiration and I love your creative style. Thanks vintage paper girl.

Thank you. I loved the video. Take care ❤❤❤

Good evening dear Ceri, lovely video! Love all the ephemera you created. Napkins feel amazing when used. Such wonderful texture. Thank you so much for sharing your art. I appreciate you ❤. Hugs and Blessings

Your bookpage looks so neat. Best I've seen. Loving this idea with napkins. Thank you. Love your channel

Thank you for a great idea for using up napkins, like you I have quite a collection. You have given me so many ideas for my journals and other craft projects and for that I thank you. Xxx🦋🦋🦋

Hello from Minnesota…thank you . ✌️🍀

I thought i was the only one who drew ‘antlers’ on the butterflies! I feel vindicated! Thanks, Ceri! I’m loving these tags and pockets! ❤

I'm on my way to my winter home with my car stuffed full of supplies but no napkins. I left them at home. Guess I'll have to buy more!😊 what fun! Tfs❤

Great cling wrap trick!! Can't wait to try that. Thanks for sharing all your secrets, tips, and tricks. You are sooo wonderful!! Stay warm!!

Thank you for explaining your thought process as you make beautiful paper crafts. I really appreciate all the great details you share
