I never would have thought to use old book pages to make butterflies. Brilliant!!!

There's something about watching your videos that cheers me up and I get some super good ideas!! Beautiful butterflies!!

I’ll be searching for my butterfly stamps! What a great idea 😊

I sure appreciate the gesso technique. Thank you!

😍😍😍wonderful butterflies!!❤❤❤

Love love! This is a great idea! We always said antlers lol. So funny! ❤

Gonna' make a "pile of butterflies" now that you have shown me how ... stash of stamps coming up. Let's go! Thanks for your time and effort in this tutorial. 😉

❤❤❤ your butterflies, ty

Love the pile from your scrap drawer 🤣🤣💐

Thanks, Ceri. It's a great idea! B5

These are gorgeous Ceri! I especially like the book page ones but the colors are beautiful, they remind me of stained glass. ♥

Antlers! 😂 That's what I'm going to call them from now on! I love these butterflies, absolutely beautiful! What a great video, thank you for another inspired idea 😊

brilliant idea! Thank you Ceri

Cool…Christine Stokes shared to do this on magazine pages,,,I have been doing that with gold powder,…but I really like the black on the pages. Thanks..good teaching by the way

I love these butterflies, and admire your fussy cutting, which I'm terrible at. 🦋👐🏻

Great idea. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Very much appreciated. ❤❤❤❤❤

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 🎉❤😊

Wonderful technique, the black on butterflies really stands out, all your butterflies are just devine. Thankyou for sharing this great idea.

I love this idea. I stamp my butterflies but never emboss. Last week I got a mini pancake cooker and have been using it to emboss die-cut words, I think it would work great for the butterflies. The cooker will go up to 4". Marion Emberson did it on one of her videos. I was tired of burning my fingers on fiddly bits or having to fix the embossing after using tweezers. I love your videos Ceri.

Those are so pretty! I love your videos where you show how to make your own ephemera. I use a lot of things that are from me - and these videos give me great ideas. Thank you!

Beautiful!

wonderful......i'm off to make some myself now!!!!

Lovely, Ceri.

The possibilities are endless with this idea! Love this tutorial Ceri. Thank you bunches!

Ceri, I would never have thought to do this with my stamps! Thank you SO much for the inspiration!🥰💕

What a great idea! Your butterflies are so beautiful. 😍 Thanks for sharing! 😊♥️

WOW! These are beautiful and relatively easy to make. I can see a mass-making episode in my near future. Thanks, Ceri.

You do have the best ideas. This is so inspiring. Thank you, Ceri. (Your admirer from North Carolina)

Wow, nice idea. Actually, Watercolor paper would be really cool ⚾️

Hello from America from Keri with a "K"😊 I Love your videos, and now I'm dragging out my old crafting stuff and I'm making messes and lovin it.🥰

Genius!!! While I don't have embossing pads and powder, I do have the color shift acrylic paint and this project has my mind running. Thank you Ceri.

Meant, blessings 😊

Awesome tutorial, great inspiration !!!❤😊

Thank you ever so much for sharing. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this and I cannot wait to follow your instructions and make some butterflies of my own. ☺️

The black embossing powder is beautiful. ❤

Your Butterflies are Beautiful 🦋

❤❤❤

Gorgeous butterflies. I think my favorite are the ones you used distress ink around the edges, so unique. i love your videos.

I just love your work.

Now I know why I need to invest in.an embossing pad and powders. I love the idea of making something unique. ❤❤❤

Now, I finally have a plan for my embossing powder! I just got the idea to try this on some Jessoed fabric scraps! Thanks, Ceri!❤

Very nice! 🦋

Butterflies are perfect for so many projects.

Pretty!

Love this Ceri

Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful. Who knew book page butterflies lol I’ll be working in my stash now 🦋

I love this idea! Thanks so much for sharing 😊

Beautiful! Thank you!😊

Love and use butterflies a lot, will make some on other papers then my scrapbook papers. Thank for sharing. 😊

Love this idea, need to dust off my embossing powders, great tips! ❤️

Love these!! I want to make a box of butterflies, so I can share! TFS!! Have a great day!

absolutely gorgeous! Ceri thank you so much for such a wonderful idea

Love these. I learned how to emboss,thank-you,I never saw a video on it. Looks pretty easy.

Awesome Ceri! Gayle is so funny...I giggle every time she says Antlers! 😂

Love the book page butterflies. TFS 🤙❤

Awesome ! Just bought the first time embossing pad and powder. Still in package. Will definitely try this out this week!

Hi Ceri. Fun project and very pretty. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞

Thanks Ceri. These are a great idea and almost all of us have papers of some kind and a color collection. 😊

Beautiful, original and using your own creations is(in my opinion) always the best. Thank you!

Love this process! So many possibilities, thank you Ceri. 💖💖💖

I had exactly the same experience with the un-silicone mat. I bought the right one, decided I needed another and thought I bought the right one, but nope.

Loved watching your process. Liked how you used old book pages. Just started doing 3 D butterflies. I have a 3 step stamp butterfly I'm using now. I get color with stamp,so i don't have to color in.I double stamp the same one on 2 pieces of cardstock. I fussy cut one,cutting off antennas too. I color edges after I cut it. I glue it on top of other at just the body and shape wings to come up. I add embellishments after. Etc. Glossy accents to dark parts on body. Going to try some with embossing. Love embossing, have bunch but don't get to use them as much as I'd like. Thank you for Sharing this and your hints. Have to check what I have in a book I can use. THANKS again and have a great and safe day.. .

Love the butterflies. What a good use of old book pages. Thank you for sharing! 💜

The large butterfly, especially looks great embossed in the black with the inked edge. Thanks for the inspiration Ceri. 😊

What a wonderful tutorial. I love the way you teach and share your ideas. Step by step completely explained. I know what I’m doing tomorrow 🤣😁😁🥰❤️❤️

This is a lovely idea and a well done tutorial. Bravo mate! Thank you!

Good evening dear Ceri, gorgeous butterflies! I too enjoy mass making ephemera. Why stop at one or two? 😃 thank you so much for showing your process. Love the black embossing . Have a blessed weekend. Big hugs 🤗 ❤

Ceri, such a fun project and not that difficult, can't wait to make some butterflies, thank you for sharing.

Great techniques-especially toning down embossing powders’ shine with matte medium. Plus, I’m embarrassed to say, after decades of art stamping (now segued to not-very-“junk” journals), I have always applied gesso with a brush! The credit card application is so much better.

❤ these are so beautiful! I am so inspired! I tend to shy away from embossing because it's quite messy sometimes. But now I am determined to take the powders out and try again! thanks for sharing!

Love this idea! I don't have embossing powder but will do this with color in. Then put the powder on my bday wish list!

I love these butterflies!!

I never dreamt of using black embossing powder, but now I want to try that black sparkle. And since you don’t like the sparrow, you might as well send him to me! He’s my favorite. I’ll give him a loving home. 🕊️

Beautiful butterflies - I'll have to find alternative as I'm useless at fussy cutting

Fab idea. I have made flowers and butterflies doing this in the past but it’s wonderful to have the reminder 💜

Thank you another great video!

I enjoy this tutorial Ceri. I need some ephemera you are giving me inspiration, ideas and knowledge. Thank you❤

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the large butterflies with the brown distress ink added to the edges. I think you are right about using black embossing powder. It does create a glam factor. TFS. 🙏🥰

A really useful technique, thanks for sharing Ceri!

Great video Ceri! While I’m not a “mass make” fan, I could totally see making up a bunch of these as a play session! Thank you for sharing your method. ❤

What a great idea!!!! I’m making these today! Thank you for your thorough tutorial!
