Masterboard Process Collage Tips Tricks Ideas How to Use Your Creative Studio Scraps

Butterfly Blessings Studio 2025-08-15 | Dive into the world of making a Masterboard. What is a Masterboard? Simply put, it's a large collage of scrap papers that you can then use as a background for other projects. In this video, I will share many helpful tips and tricks as well as a sped up version of the process for tutorial. I have so many Your Creative Studio subscription stationery box supplies, that I decided to use them up (or at least some of them ;) making some masterboards. This is aslo a great project for mass making.

Inspiration for what to do with them?
-Journal cards, tags, pockets, belly bands, envelopes, journal cover, heart shape, corner tuck, embellishments such as banner tucks etc.

Process: 1- Collect papers/scraps
2- collage- on book paper, magazine pages, scrapbook paper, paper place mat, junk mail...any surface you want to glue onto and cover up
3- (optional) Add ephemera and details (stamps, stickers, stenciling, etc.)
4-cut it up
5-embellish for use- add more if you like or feel like something is needed.

Helpful Tips/Tricks:
*Start with a neutral color pallet
*Vary the direction of scraps so that there's an all over pattern
*Use torn edges or straight edges
*Use up your least favorite scraps first (maybe save any favorite scraps for the final embellishments)
*If you don't love the end result...cover it up until you do...just keep going. You can even paint over with white acrylic paint or gesso for a mixed media neutral background.

Helpful supplies:
Adhesive: glue stick, mod podge, trimmer or scissors, tons of scraps (papers, stickers, surface to collage onto, stamped images, magazine clippings, etc.), stamps, stencils, washi tape, inks...

Altered Planner Junk Journal Process Simon Says Stamp Card Kit of the Month February 2025 Distressed

Join me junk journaling in my altered planner junk journal style again. This two page layout features scraps from my stash as well as ephemera and stamps from the Simon Says Stamp card kit of the month for February 2025, Distressed Love Notes. I loved the Tim Holtz idea-ology ephemera pack (Palette) so much that I bought a second pack from Joann. Though the SSS subscription box is a card kit, this one has so many things that are great to use in journals. I also pulled out my mini printer the Canon Ivy for my photos to work with. I hope you enjoy seeing the process and some ideas for tuck spot, journaling, and collage elements as well.

This is a great way to see a sampling of a typical premium Sketchbox.

Many of my picks would make a great gift idea for an art enthusiast. All of these would fit nicely in a stocking but some are more affordable options than others.
