Throw Back Thursday! - Using Playing Cards to Create Ephemera!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
A little new series, maybe not every Thursday, but frequently, to use up older supplies and create ephemera and projects we haven't visited for awhile. I hope you'll enjoy it! Today we are pulling out the playing cards to make up some ephemera for future journals. Thanks for crafting with me! xoxo

Has anyone ever told you what a great story teller you are? I love to hear your stories, so thanks for sharing them
Love this idea with the playing cards to use for part of your signatures! Really great idea! Tyfs! Stay safe and off the roads Gayle!❤
Such a cute idea. Love it. It’s a great way to use up playing cards. I think there would be a lot of subbies especially new journal makers. Thanks for spending time hanging out with us! Especially on these bitter cold and icy days. ❤️
This was just what I needed for all the playing cards I've been collecting. Thank you for sharing! Joyce
Every thing you touch turns into gold! You are the highlight of my day! Thank you!

Thank you, Kathy! 🥰❤️
Thanks for the stories and company, always a good time. Perked up my day cuz I was home not feeling well.💕
Love this project! I just love listening and laughing with you!
Really enjoyed this new idea with the playing cards. I also love playing cards and have lots. More fun things to do with them thanks to you. Happy valentines.
Super cute ephemera as always! Enjoyed your Penny story!
Throwback Thursdays looks like another fun theme day. Scrappy Saturdays is my fave, followed by TUse it up Tuesday 😊
Hello Gayle! Cute project I love to find different vintage cards. So glad the dog had a tag on to be able to the owner. Enjoyed your video and watching your process. Take care!
Thank you, Gayle! Lately I’ve been finding neat and unusual decks, buying them, and sticking in my craft room with no clue really how I would use them. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the playing cards with the 6” papers, they are fabulous! You know I have to try at least one to put into my idea book… lol! 😊 More ideas … oh my gosh! I will never be board… lol! Have a warm cozy afternoon! Love and hugs sissy! 🤗💕🤗💕🤗
Great idea for using up the playing cards!! Awesome ephemera!! Love the "Penelope" story!! Glad you got your doggie fix!! TFS Gayle!! Hugs, Liz:)
Ah! Something different for playing cards! I usually end up decorating one side and just sticking them into a pocket. Thank you!

So fun! Pulled out some cards and instead of using 6x6, cut down some children’s book pages. (As I’m working on schooldays journals). Loved the result! Thanks again Gayle for sharing.🥰🇨🇦
Love, love loved, this video! I've collected playing cards, too! This is so fun! Blessings -- Cindy
I would love to see old playing cards in your shop. I would purchase them, sight unseen. I love watching you perform your "magic."
I have some old playing cards and didn’t really know what to do with them, now I can use some plus use more of my 6x6 papers! I have a dollar store pokey tool with a sharp point that I use to get the washi stickers off the backing, works great. Thanks for another great video.
"I should put these in packs on my Etsy" Um, YES PLEASE! I would buy the heck outa a pack of those vintage and 70's cards!

Oh wait I just realized the 70's ARE vintage now. It's hard when you get old enough that your childhood is called vintage, am I right?
What a fun idea to use up project life cards and playing cards. I enjoyed watching the process. Thanks Gayle! The journal Chelle gave you looks yummy.
I loved that movie too, Palmer! What a great way to use your 6x6 pads & those journal cards! I always love watching your videos & hearing about “A day in the life with Gayle” ... it’s really my favorite show! 🥰 .. thank you for sharing your ideas & life with all of us! BTW, don’t be embarrassed by your card collection, I have probably about 30 or so packs too, & yes more card ideas! ❤️🐞
Love this idea! Dog card can go into man journal too, “Man’s best friend”. I agree, pretty vintage looking cards. TYFS, Happy Crafting on your snowy days. We have a few storms heading our way again, crafting days ahead for me. 👍☃️❄️❄️❄️
Gayle it would be fantastic if you could put little packs of cards together! I never have seen so many different kinds! You’re a gem! 🤗💕🦋
Playing cards are great to use for all sorts of fun things... We have even used them to create panels for accordion folded mini-journals. Great video loved watching.
I don't have a lot of playing cards, but for the ones I do have, I'm always stumped as to what the heck to do with them. Now I know! Thanks, Gayle.
What a blast about rescuing that woman, and the dogs!
These are super cute.. love the off pocket.... they are trading cards I’m glad you like them, I have so much more and will definitely be making some of these pockets 😊😊❤️❤️😍😍 TFS 😘😘😘😘
Fun times with playing cards. Thanks Gayle
Enjoyed your video today as always. We had an English Sheepdog when I was a child and he was the best dog we ever had. I used to put my hair barrettes, ribbons or curlers on his head/ears. Thanks for bringing back those childhood memories.
So much fun!! Loved how yours turned out. I've been trying to arrange my craft she shed to see and use more of my supplies. But it's very difficult and I don't like to be crowded at my work counter!! 😂 Stay safe and warm...snow is coming for us tonight thru Monday!! 💜
This was perfect for today since yesterday I went to a thrift store & picked up two old decks of cards. Very yellowed & perfect for these applications. Also found a couple pieces of vintage quilt scraps. Wish you would put some of your cards in your Etsy shop. I’d buy them.
Love this idea, so fun. I definitely think you could sell some of your great collection of cards. I’m glad you got some doggy love. Hugs, Amy❤️
I think these packs of cards would be fun! I know I'd love one. I have never seen this idea before. I love it. I recently got a package of those bigger life cards with annoying things on it as a "gift" in an order. I thought well I could cover them and use them... but this is a really fun idea! Thanks Gayle❣
Cracking me up,cause my baby is the same way. Meets know strangers but as soon as he sees me or his daddy see ya! 🐶 ❤️
Everyone would love to have a variety of cards. Especially us newbies. Hugz sweetie
I love this project! I love vintage playing cards, too, but I’ve had trouble finding them in my local antique stores. I’d buy some from you. I was also thinking that this could be a great way to use up those journaling cards that come on 12x12 paper, or atc digital sheets. I think this project has “set my hair on fire!”
I remember those Montana winters with fondness. I would love to have a pack of flowers especially roses. Thanks Gayle and take care.😘😘
These are great! The blank backs must be a matching cards game. I have been wondering what to do with all my playing cards. Thank you for so many fun ideas.
Wow I never thought of using playing cards for ephemera. And those pocket page ones are very adorable. I will have to try and make some. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this videoGayle, I’ve never been too sure what to do with playing cards. You’ve given me some ideas! Hugs❤️
Your subbies are smart because you have taught us so much. Thanks
Great video, really got my imagination going. I'm a new Junk Journaler and your ideas are fabulous. I would definitely purchase a mixed pack of cards!
All your videos are so great. And interesting too. I learn so much. I'm working on an Ephemera Storage Notebook, after watching a video you did on the subject. Thank you for all the great videos and ideas!!! Austin, TX USA
I'm glad you finally have some snow, Gayle! We have 1/2 inch of ice today. I love the Glenn Miller Story! I tear up whenever I hear the Little Brown Jug because I think of that movie.
We finally got water usage back yesterday. There is still a large portion without water. Most excitement we’ve had in a while. Now we have freezing rain. The kiddos missed school Tues and Wed due to water. Called school this morning due to weather. No school Fri and Mon. Oma is having fun. I have a 4 yr old and 7 year old I take care of after school normally. When school is out I take care all day. Love these pocket cards your making. I don’t have many cards. Will be on the lookout at estate sales.
Oh yes definitely create card packs for your Etsy please! ❤️. Love the page with tag.
It's official: Throwback Thursday is a hit (according to ME!). What fun that was. I have a few cards, not nearly as much as you, but I never use them and this idea is fantastic. You could do a playing card day each month and that would be great, too.
Throw Back Thursday...great idea!! This was alot of fun...I do remember those fuzzy boxes of playing cards!! LOVED the "Penny" story(always thinking of Jimmy Joe!! 🐶💋) TYFS!! 😊💖
Love the altered playing cards and how you attached then to the 6x6 papers. They are very pretty !
I would definitely buy a set of mixed cards. I am just making journals for friends and family so a variety would be awesome. Thanks for the ideas 😊
Thank you for so much inspiration today. Oh the ideas I have gotten. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for revisiting the playing cards. It is nice to go back and use something that you haven't used in a while. Have a wonderful day.
Hi sweet Gayle, I am homebound for the next 14 days I came up positive for the virus. My symptoms aren't that bad. Just have a mild cough and fever and fatigue. Your videos are keeping me company while I can't work. Thank you 😊💓 I would love to get a pack of playing cards.

Adored the puppy story as English Sheepdog is one of my all time favorite dogs too Gayle. All these playing card ideas are creative fun. Hugs
I really enjoyed this video...actually I enjoy watching all of your videos! I now know what to do with all of the playing cards I have been collecting; thanks for sharing this with us, Gayle! 💜😊
Thanks for the idea with the playing cards Gayle!
What great ideas Gayle! And yes I believe your cards would sell! God bless, have a super fantastic day 💜💜💜✌️✌️ Sherry
Okay, true confessions, I am a playing card junkie...cant resist them...especially animal cards in fuzzy boxes. :). I am hopeful that you can find the time to put some of your extras in your Etsy shop. Cards aside, I loved this project. Such a fun signature insert and an opportunity to use some more of the Project Life cards, (there were 616 in one box I bought!) that I am tired of making into journaling cards. Hugs and blessings Gayle, :)
I like that bee with the yellow,gonna look good in your bee journal 🤩😊
Thanks for using playing cards, I have been wanting ideas with cards. It would be fun to get a variety of cards from you on Etsy. Would love to see more ideas you might have.
Yep, I would be interested in purchasing your playing cards. Great video Gayle!
I would be interested in vintage playing card, too. I did my first shared project with a group, made 10 ATCs and used playing cards as the base. So easy to keep the size uniform and a good sturdy base.
I love your cards! So beautiful.
I just have to say, your "Hi and Hugs" remind me of the "Magic Mirror" on Romper Room. LOL
Good morning Gayle! your dog story is heartwarming. Excellent Justin Timberlake movie, very impressive and emotional acting for both characters! I loved it! Fun throw back Thursday! great idea!!!!

I absolutely love listening to you talk ♥
Great video. This is a great idea for playing cards. I really like it as part of the signature.
Great idea, I love this. Thanks for sharing.🇨🇦
Great project with playing cards. Added it to my inspiration book
Gayle, interesting video. Now I just have to find some cards. lol 😊 You truly do brighten an otherwise dull very cold day, -22F. Hope you have a great day. Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos. I have so much to learn. Thank you 💕😊
Love this! I know I would be interested in playing cards. Hugs..
Yes, I think your playing cards would sell - maybe have themes, like flowers, masculine, 70's, etc. - Hugs.
Hi and hugs, Gayle! You cracked me up with the cranky Queen!
I’m a playing card collector but most of mine I collected pre-jj and are too nice to use in journals...well at least so far 😏. Now that I do JJ I never seem to find old cards so I’d LOVE to purchase some of your cards! If I can snatch em before there gone...I never have that luck but I keep trying! Thanks so much for sharing and being so positive!
I like throw back Thursday. It was fun. Plus it gave me more things to add to my idea journal. I'm doing Dee Dee Farago's TCTC so these will be great in it. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I had had the foresight to save my grandmothers cards that her and my mom used to play canasta with. The cards stayed in a cabinet in the kitchen for as far back as I can remember. and I used to play 21 with my grandfather When I was in grade school. That’s how taught me how to count really fast in my head. I pick up vintage cards too. I have so many of them as well.
Those are lovely. thank you for the inspiration
Gayle, great ideas using playing cards. I too love to collect these little gems. I think putting some packs together for your shop is an awesome idea. I can’t wait!
I would really be interested in the cards. Especially the home of Henry W.Longfellow. my mother in laws maidens name was longfellow and was a distant relative. I would purchase a pack with a couple of those in it. After our move I'm still trying to get my craft room together so I can get busy crafting! Thanks Gayle for all of the great ideas you share with us.
Such a good reminder! I need to make more of these (got the original idea from you!). LOL feels like spring here, it’s 50 out there!
We used to have a cat that we named Penelope--and we called her Pen-a-lope when she was in trouble too-- so funny!!! When she wasn't in trouble, we called her Nelle, not Penny. LOL She has since been retired and altered and now living with a beautiful elderly woman who adores her- living the spoiled life!!!
That’s a really cool project Gayle! Thanks for sewing one so we could see the finished look. Fun, fun, fun! Also, a great story ❤️!
SO MUCH FUN GAYLE-I HAVE ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO VERY MUCH-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS
These were really cute pieces!
Thanks for the inspiration! I made some for my upcoming journals & to put in happy mails as well. I would buy some playing card packs if you put them in your etsy store. Great craft with me video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
Hi Gayle: Love the Throw Back Thursday idea. Thanks for the ideas. Hugs, Donna From the Jersey Shore
oh gosh, yor gd x gd friends bk is beautiful.u sure put a ton of wk in2 it.+i luv all those vintage cards 2.i rarely find anything so nice.if so i haven't made anything as nice as u with em.
Hi Gayle, on those journal cards the whale tabs or what you would choose I think would be cute.. my hint for the backing removal. I use a straight pin polk a tiny hole by the edge and pull. Works for me.
The poor Cranky Queen didn't stand a chance next to Gayle...not only did her face get covered with tissue paper but with a rose sticker as well. All HAIL THE CRANKY QUEEN ...she be no more!!!! 👑🚫

Those were fun to watch you make. Loved your puppy story. You definitely need another puppy. I've had several Maltese. They make great house dogs & are so loving.
While watching the weather channel, it sounds pretty cold for Montana, stay safe. Thanks for the video.😍

I really like this 💡 Idea!!
This was so much fun, Gayle!
This was fun to watch! 😄 Great dog story too. Yep I have a mini Doxie and his name is Andy and when he is in trouble he gets called ANDY TAYLOR!!! Lol!
Interested in a variety pack of your playing card stash 🤩 I have a project using tea bags that they’ll be perfect for.
I would be interested in a mix of playing cards.
I have a ton of "Bicycle" playing cards but no real great vintage playing cards. I looked on Etsy and I didn't find all the nice like cards you have! PLEASE make some pack! (No sports please) lol
