Thanks Michelle for sharing this. I also have been making cards with old cereal etc cardboard and gluing them onto cards. However, yours are so much more professionally done! I love the idea of cutting at an angle, so that the cardboard isn't seen. Great tip with the double sided tape, also using the baking paper on top of the glued card for when weighted. I totally agree that kindness is the most important thing in this world🥰. I see that this is an old video done four years ago but is certainly a goody. Luckily, it came up as a suggested video for me. Thank again, Alison from Western Australia 💕

thank you for your video and your great sense of humor your art is so beautiful thank you

I am a card maker and crafter, who has been playing around with paint pouring, so I just love this idea. Am definitely going to try it. Thank you for the idea.

Love, love, love your humour as well as your talent topped with a generous spirit! Thank you so much for bringing fun, inspiration and joy into my life. Blessings.

Very good details, well-explained. Thanks!

Thank you for all that you do for humanity. I love watching your videos and your greeting card.

How resourceful omg 😱 love it

Love Love Love these beautiful cards. What a great idea ❣️❣️❣️ Thank you for sharing all your talent it is greatly appreciated 🥰💗💗💗

My craft group will love this. Thank you

Something I do with my scrapbooking is creat a cut out template, creating a window. I made it with the clear thick plastic cover from a display file and then I can move my window around on my photo to get the best part. You could then score a line on it as to where to cut. I think your cards are really lovely and I hope this makes sense

This is just exactly what I needed! I won't go into detail, just let it suffice that this was a major discussion over the weekend! Wow. Unreal. Thanks so much!!!!!

Wow, just amazing!!! Never would’ve thought about cards, thank you for sharing with us!!

This is wonderful! I love your creativity beyond the canvas painting. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! I just discovered you and your work. Love it all...especially your kind open hearted words!

This is such an amazing gift! Thank you for your experience and sharing!

I think it is great that you can use all your excess paint to make these lovely cards 💖

Hello. This is my first visit to your site. 😊

I've enjoyed your videos 😊

Thanks...was trying to think of a way to do this!!

I really love these! Can't wait to try them.

Thank you for sharing defenateley going to try

Kiwi ingenuity at its finest. Beautiful.

Love these! This may be my next adventure! Thank you always!

I've made cards for years but never thought of using skins for it! I will def try it now

Oh how I love this idea! I will be trying some soon. Awesome work!

Hello from New Jersey. So creative & beautiful. Wonderful video too. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas & talents with us!!!

Michelle.... Thank you so much for your advice ! I truly appreciate it.

Thank you for all of your tips. They are very helpful. I appreciate it. So-K

I made cards similar to this but was with encaustic wax. I never thought of using skins though thats brilliant. Will definitley do thay. Thanks again for another brilliant idea.

Love your ideas for the left over paint.

I love this idea! One of my best girlfriends makes amazing cards and this will be so fun for us to collaborate on! I headed right to the recycle bin after watching it and scored with a coffee pod box and some packaging from chocolates. I guess I must continue to eat those chocolates ... one must sometimes suffer for their art. haha!

Beautiful!! I can’t wait to try it!! 😀

This is a wonderful idea! I will try this for sure!🌹

Quelle superbe idée ... bravo et c'est magnifique !!!

Wow! What a great idea!

Wow love these.

looks amazing!

Thankyou for this video. They are so beautiful ❤️💕😇🎈

The Christmas one you peeled off I would cut into a Christmas tree use a cookie cutter, then glue onto card.

Writing this,not even finished watching. Great idea. Definitely going to do this. Thanks for another great idea. Just subscribed also. Look forward to checking out other videos.

Thank you Michelle! 💜

I love this! Yes, keep it kind ❤️

thank you on the step by step about skins and making cards I love to make my own cards. I use stencils on a few and pocas paint pens.

Awesome idea!

They are beautiful

Fantastic..I paint on Yupo paper and attach it directly to the card stock but the cereal box is a lot less expensive!! 😁 Thanks Michelle!!

Thanks for the great suggestion! I have lots of photo paper that I don't use, so maybe I can use them. Fantastic!

Oh Michelle! I am a papercrafter who was led by Tim Holtz last year this time, into acrylic pouring thru his alcohol inks. But you have just inspired me to the hilt! Brilliant idea. I have done pouring directly on to black medium weight chipboard and also some 110 lb. heavy cardstock because s piece was just sitting around. The results were nice enough to do something with. But what? Here's the answer. Although the chipboard would make a heavy card, it could be done. I thought of using the cardstock as a background for a card. But then I did not want to cover up the painting itself. Now I am thinking about trying to cut out a shape using a die and a cutting machine (Sizzix Big Shot or Crafter's Companion Gemini machines). As such, do a pour with reds, gold and white and cut out hearts for Valentines Day cards. I would have to experiment to see how the process would effect the painting. I also would use double sided sookwang or Scor-tape all around to instantly bond the painting into the card. I use 80-110 pound cardstock for my card bases (made with papercrafting tools) as this weight is very sturdy. But I am a card maker who now can combine an expertise of one passion with newbie experience in acrylic pouring, my nee passion. Thank you Michelle❤❤❤

I think that would be fun. Thank you for sharing.

Great video, Great cards.

What a great idea

Thank you for this video! I have not done acrylic skin cards, but have done similar type crafts. I found a thin, clear piece of acrylic to use as my cutting template. I could then see exactly what I was cutting, and the edges stayed strong. I don’t remember where I got the acrylic...it might have been a cover for a poster frame?

Wonderful instructions! And a good way to use run off paint. Yes, let’s keep this discussion about art and other fun stuff. I “missed” whatever drama arose, but I think it probably was okay I did. Love your always positive attitude. Let’s see what fun we can have!

This is very innovative 👍👍

Needed to see this

Thank you.😀

Thank you this is a great idea.

Morning Michelle, I doing the compulsory tidy before work takes up some of my paint time, noticed that have ooodles of runoff’s! Brilliant idea to do cards ♦️ my 🥶 winter project sorted. None of my recent work has dried either weather ?. Anyhow good vibes sent your way. Karen NZ

You just have to tell the pva to come out! lmao! Nice video Michelle! Love it that you recycle! Great idea....

I watched someone make an acrylic skin on a silicone mat. Another suggestion.

Your cards are absolutely beautiful !!!! Are you using the same techniques as you would on canvas when making your cards?

Love your work. Will try my collection of skins on cards. I'm not good with glue so I use plastic rollers that apply 1/4 inch wide double stick tape, no peeling and they are refillable. I make cards with my photos and use these rollers around the edge and diagonally. They hold the photos well. The brand name is Ad Tech but others are available.

I can't help but think you could benefit from using a rotary cutter, cutting may and clear acrylic ruler, ( like quilt makers use) to help cut your art for the cards

Michelle... thank you for putting out great videos... you have inspired me to give some things a go by your great content, sharing your beautiful talent and wonderful ideas and tips! I just enjoy listening to you speak! 😀 I'm wondering with these skins for cards... do you clear spray or varnish them some way? Before you cut? After? And I think it would be before attaching to the cardstock, correct? Thank you dear, for your time and help with this! MANY many many blessings to you and your family this bright New Year! Please keep on creating great inspiration! 🌺🌈🎨 ~ ArtOn ~

You don’t seal the paint with varnish or ModPodge? This is a great idea...and you could also use the contact paper technique, eliminating the glue. Wonderful idea! ❣️. Thank you!

I am dying laughing Michelle! You and that glue, I was cracking up! ♡♡♡♡ I'm so glad you made this video. I've been thinking about making cards!

Thank you for this instruction. I tried to make cabochons with my skins, but I would rather dip them. I would rather do cards, so this video is what I need to learn from. Thanks, again.

Now I know what else I can do with my leftover skins! I'm wondering how well it would work on cardstock paper.

That's neat!! I have done that sort of. I use CafePress though and take photos of my pours. I then crop the photo where I want it to make several different things (including cards) with that design on it. If any get ordered they print it up and send it off. I get a small commission which is fine by me since I don't have to do anything else once I have uploaded my art and set up the products. :D I may do some actual cards though for in person selling. Thanks for the tips. :D - Heidi

Love this idea except we don’t eat cereal anymore. Wonder if Manila cilantro folders would work? Might not be heavy enough.

A lever paper trimmer works very well.

Lindo! Veja os vídeos 510 e 511 de Ann Osborne para reaproveitamento das tiras. Parabéns pelo trabalho!😘🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Make your template out of heavy clear plastic. That way you can see and compose the cutouts.

If you cut out a frame with middle cut out it is easier to see what the best design is. That way you aren’t covering the design and trying to guess what it looks like.

What kind of paper did you take off the paint from?. That is cool it sets then you can lift it off.

Can you scrape up the leftover paint and put directly on heavy card stock instead of cardboard? We don’t eat much cereal in our house😉

Ooo! I forgot to give my hint! I use a paper cutter to trim for the correct size. Be careful, though, to make sure that the blade has not been dulled! After cutting, I mount onto card stock in a matching color. Once everything has dried, I laminate them for durability. You're welcome!

I like the idea of using skins since I don’t eat cereal to have cardboard stock. Great video and a great gift idea. Thank you for sharing. When you use the skins, does it stick to the poly bag? 🎨👍❤️

Nice. Do you put envelopes in with your piece? Also what kind of pen can you use on the acrylic painting?

Have you thought of using a piece of clear plastic (like some canvases are protected with) as your template? Then you could see exactly what is being selected.

I’ve really enjoyed your tutorial. What program did you use to print your brand and name on the backs of your cards?

Great thank you. Do you ever scan your originals before selling them off?

How do you keep your cereal boxes, or whatever paper product you let the paint dry on, from warping?

New here! Lovely! Do you need to seal the skins before placing on the cards?

Have you ever just put the card into your paint? This was really interesting. Thank you

Do you spray them with varnish or clear enamel before you cut them? Thank you !

Love the cards. But if you don’t have cereal boxes can you use poster board? Thank you for your videos. Sorry you lost one.

so gluing the skins directly to the card works as well?

This is wonderful!! What pen do you use or how do you sign your name to your art without ruining the acrylic?

Would this paint pouring work on self adhesive wine labels to make cards with?

Hi Michelle. You mentioned a press in this video, what kind of press were you speaking about, like a tee shirt press?

McE Art Could you please post a link to the glassine bags in which to put the finished cards with their envelopes?

Do you find that the paint/moisture seeps through the cereal boxes when you pour on them?

Great idea. Lovely cards. I'm in Scotland, UK and it's freezing, literally. I'm wearing two big jumpers and a vest while watching your video 😃 Are your blank card bases ready made? If so, where do you get them from? I noticed they were in a box. Great video. Thanks again for sharing your ideas 🤗😊

How do you deal with the silicone? If, as you mentioned in previous videos, even reused canvases need to be cleaned before repainting, that would indicate that the silicone is still there even on the drips/excess. Wouldn't that create oily residue on the envelopes?

Do you have to let those cure like you would a painting?

Sorry in advance if I missed it, but I was wondering if you resin the skins? If not what keeps them from flaking or is that not a problem? New to this...Thank you. Sandie (Mamacat)

How do you keep the cardboard from warping while drying?

where do you find the clear sleeve for your cards?

In the US, I have never seen the inside of a food box white, it's all like natural grey, any idea what else I could use?
