- February is a big birthday month in my family and so I needed to make some cards. I used paper scraps from my desk to create these collage mixed media cards. I jazzed them up with some shading and glued on trim and sequins. Enjoy!

Hello Shel, Love your collage birthday cards. It's amazing how you turn scraps of paper into beautiful handmade art. Thanks for sharing. Happy birthday to your family members! Have a lovely day!
Thank you so much Laura :)
Love collage greeting cards. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome :)
Shel, you are my de stress from day job. I see your fingers moving paper and paint and I can feel my muscles start to relax. I watch some and usually get inspired to stop the video and do some art of my own. Thank you.
I am so glad that I help your day and inspire your art! Thanks for watching Elaine :)
They turned out great! I'm thinking the recipients were thrilled!
Thank you Jo :) My Mom really likes her butterfly card!
Love the idea of removing paint with a babywipe.Will try that.I enjoy watching you work.😊
Thanks so much Kristina 😊
These turned out so beautiful! 😍🤩💕
Sweet cards❣️ you are so talented 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Thanks so much Sue 😊
Oh Shel, these cards are WONDERFUL. You have such a creative touch. I loved both cards but my favorite was the bird! He looks so happy as he hops along the front of your card! TFS
Thanks so much Gayle 🙂
My birthday happens to be tomorrow. I would be delighted to receive such a beautifully collaged card!
Happy Birthday Angela 😊
I really like your cards. I always feel greeting card challenged. But, you make little pieces of art.
Thank you Starla 😊
Simply beautiful.
Many thanks Pauline :)
Wow these are beautiful birthday cards tfs Shel
Thank you Maggie 😊
Love how you work with your scraps..cards are great...🐨🦘🦔
Thank you Pattie 😊
Absolutely stunning cards! Who wouldn’t be thrilled to get a work of art like this for a birthday card. So wonderful to watch your process. Just when I think you’re done, you add another touch, then another touch and of course, those extra touches just set things off beautifully. I’m thinking of the little birds white tuft in white ink. Gorgeous.
Thank you so much :) It is time to make some more birthday cards as next week my family has 3 birthdays. Lots of baking too :)
Both cards are quite lovely Shel. I love your process. #GottaHaveBling! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!
Such lovely cards, Shel. #loveyourpaperpiecing.”
Thank you so much :)
Love, love, love those cards. My birthday is in Feb....would LOVE to get one of your cards, Ha Ha 🙂
Thank you Kim :) February seems to be a popular month!
They both have become great and also nice, colorful cards :-)
Thank you Ilja 😊
Beautiful cards!
Thank you Claudia :)
nice, esp the way you embellished bird
Thank you Kay :)
Beautyfull. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching Mano 😊
Beautiful!!🙏🏼
Thank you 🙌
Very cheerful cards! It is amazing what lovely things can be created with our tiny little scraps.
Thank you :) That is how I justify never throwing tiny pieces away LOL
It’s so frustrating that die cuts have the white border. I feel like I used to be able to buy lots of options that had no border but recently I looked thru so many die cuts on Amazon and NO borderless options. I LOVE what you did with the charcoal border around the bird! Beautiful cards.
I`m so, so happy I found this :))))))))
Thanks a lot for this wonderful inspiration!!
You are so welcome :) Thanks for visiting!
Love these!!!
Thank you Cindy 😊
I love these!
Thank you Vicky 😊
Love the clean up paper, setting the stage for your collages. Well done, Shel.
Thank you Cheryl :)
Super birthday cards , I know the recipients are going to love them. Have a fantastic Sunday 💜💜💜✌️ Sherry
Thanks so much Sherry :)
These are fabulous. I can’t wait to try using my scraps to make card backgrounds! You are a genius! TFS. I did.
Thank you Evelyn 😊 Have fun using your colorful bits and bobs!
I love the cards, and thanks for posting the supply list. I wish more people would do that!
You are so welcome Trudy :) I am glad someone is using it!
Love it
Thank you Andrea :)
My grandson's birthday is this month, but my oh my month is December. My sister in law, my daughter, my son in law, my next son in law, both my best friends and Jan 1st is my other daughter's birthday. I guess that is why I don't make Christmas cards. These are great cards, you always put scraps together so well. I am playing with scraps and index cards right now, but I am not always happy with the results. Thanks Shel, have an awesome day.
Wow..lots of Winter birthdays for you! Scrap collage is fun..just keep playing :)
These two cards are lovely! I kind of liked them better as true abstract pieces without the bird and butterflies. The bit of music paper adds such depth. I wish it showed up more.
Thank you Minna :)
Love the background. The result is lovely. You can use just about anything so it is a good recycling idea. Tank you.
Thank you Marie 😊 yes, a good justification for all the scrap hoarding lol
Thank you so much Shel, what can I say? They’re both small works of art, I really really love 💕 watching you create them......They’re very lucky to have you make them something so special and different. xxx Mags
Thank you Maggie ;) My Mom loved her's. I do not know the other lady but I hope she enjoyed it and it brightened her day!
What wonderful colorful cards! September is my family's big birthday month. I'm sure whoever receives a 'Shel C' card loves and treasures it!
Thank you Marie :) I think my family is 'used to' stuff I make LOL
Love your collage pieces. I also really like that you put a bird on one them. I just got some Tim Holtz distress crayons and I think they will be great for collage.
Thank you Marilyn :) Yup..distress crayons are great for integration on your collage art
Love both of them Shel. Love the composition of them. I first was thinking why is she saying what every single piece of paper is and then I realized, DUH! there are probably lots of people that are either new to the paper crafting world or just never had anything to do with it so for those people, I thank you. You did a great job of explaining it all. They really turned out so cute. I have been trying to go through some of my cases of painty paper and gelli prints and ones that I doubt will be used pretty much as is, I sorted by the primary color of the paper. I kept thinking of all of your collage pieces and how doing this, hopefully would make it easier if I am trying to do something all in a similar color or shade.
Thank you Lori 😊 yup new people watch all the time so I never know lol. Good idea to sort by color... it is easier to find that piece you want!
Love how you do your voice over of your sped up work!
Thank you Robin 😊 This is how I prefer to watch art video... so it is how I do it.
LOVE your cards!! Love tiny bits and pcs in collage and these are great....thank U 💜👀💜
Thank you Pat :) I adore collage!
What wonderful cards! You have beautiful scraps and the way you put them together is amazing!
Thank you Debbie :) I have been collecting scraps for years LOL
I didn't think I would like this at all but I stuck with it and watched all the way through. I was impressed. Vintage, shabby chic, torn paper is not my thing. I tend to prefer modern, clean lines but what brought me here was my trying to figure out what the heck Tim Holtz Idea ology is all about (still don't know). And as usually the case when I search the net, one thing led to another and here I am. I am going to make a few of these (the 6 x 6 size really makes a difference) using the scraps I have. Thank you for sharing. I'll continue to watch your videos.
Thank you :) I would never have described my style as shabby chic. Interesting. Have fun making scrappy cards!
so pretty! now i dont feel alone anymore having my scraps on the floor!!! those are my favorite pieces
Thank you Carla :) I know right???
Fun watching this! Got some great ideas from you....thanks!
Thank you Robin :) Have fun making some!
Great cards, I love your personal touch on the bird. Thanks Shel!
Thank you Mieke :)

Beautiful cards Shel,

Thank you Patty 😊
Nice cards! You said something about having a white Posca pen and I got to thinking. I just bought my first paint pen (iits a Painters pen) ever and have yet to take it out and play (life happened, ugh). Is there a big difference between Posca pens and other paint pens?
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching your process!
Thank you Drea 😊 posca is an acrylic paint pen and is water soluble until dry. Most pens you find commonly are oil based paint and they can do less fun techniques. Also, the have a chemical smell. You can find a sharpie brand pen labeled ‘water based’ and lots like that one. I just love my Posca !
Would you ever add a final layer of a gel medium or modge podge? Why or why not. Thanks!
Hi Sally :) When I make a piece of art that is intended to last..like a canvas or wood panel to hang on the wall, I do 3 coats of spray UV safe sealer. I prefer matte. When I make a card or an art journal page, I do not seal over the top. Cards are meant to be temporary..I don't think most people keep mine. As for pages, they stick together if there is too much medium on them. Also, I do not use mod podge as it is sticky by nature and also yellows over time. When I make art journal pages I sometimes add a thin layer of beeswax furniture polish if I have a sticky page. Hope this helps.
😊
Thank you Jackie :)
Please do more scrap paper card ideas???
Thanks for watching :) I have many more on my channel already but I do make them occasionally.
What tool do you use to take hold of and place the sequins?
Probably this tool. www.amazon.com/dp/B001BQ2HJO/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_T1XZNP3FX8XR4AA66BJJ?linkCode=ml2&tag=shelcpaperoco-20
🙂
Thank you Shelley :)
What is Happy mail?I wish I would get me some of that happy mail!!!
Happy mail is when someone sends you an envelope or package in the mail full of fun artsy items to use for your art. Usually colorful and fun to receive!
What is the name of that white pen you used??
That is a Posca pen, fine tip, white. I always link products used below my videos for reference. Here is a link for you amzn.to/38M0y4Q
