    Amazing ideas, all of them soooo lovely!!!!!

  • @tjporphy
    @tjporphy День тому

    I've never known what to do with velum sheets untill now thank you for the idea. :). I used wax seals when I was young at the time all I could get was my initials and wicked candle sticks. I've recently gotten back into using wax seals and love the large number of seals now available. I always hated the soot in the seals but you can use rose shears to cut the candles into small pieces to use on your spoon. Also get a furnace to hold the spoon over the candle. Less stress on your arm. Love the envelope ideas. :).

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio День тому

      Oh yes that's a good idea. I love wax seals and making them is so meditative and relaxing. I'm glad you liked the idea of the window with vellum. Thank you for being here. Have a great day! ☺️🌼💕

  • @iluvtojournal
    @iluvtojournal День тому

    I do enjoy making envelopes. 💌. A great design element. Vellum is one of my favourite papers because it gives a little bit of mystery. Wax seals are a lovely addition

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio День тому

      Thank you and I agree about vellum. It's see through but not completely and like you said: it leaves just a bit of mystery! Have a wonderful day! ☺️🌼

  • @storiesfromearth-jd58
    @storiesfromearth-jd58 День тому

    If you save your mail envelopes with windows, you could trim them and use as a substitute for the vellum or clear material.

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio День тому

      Absolutely and I've done that. It's a good idea and I love the sound of that specific material they use on those envelopes ☺️

    I will definitely be trying to make one of these tomorrow. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is you putting something inside the envelope to show through the vellum window. Thank you so much for the tutorial. 🩷

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio 2 дні тому

      Hi! I'm so happy to have inspired you to make one! Towards the end, I did out something to show how it would look, but I just grabbed something I had close by to show the effects. I hope you enjoy making these. Have a wonderful day! 🤗🌼💕

    I use the electric wax seal warmer. No flame to mess with, Just put the wax pellets in the spoon, set it in the warmer and watch the magic happen.

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio 2 дні тому

      I’ve never tried an electric warmer. I do like the candle, just not the wax with the wick. I'm sure the electric one is really nice. 👌 Thank you. 🤗🌼

  • @debbie1016
    @debbie1016 2 дні тому

    Very cute. I have never seen the pockets glued or taped together horizontally before. I have only done it vertically as it makes the pockets easier to get into and the accordian opens wider if the tape or glue is placed going up and down in the center of the pockets rather then placed side to side. It is less restrictive going up and down, and the pockets open wider because they are only held in the center.

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio 2 дні тому

      Hi Debbie, I'll have to try your way and see how it looks for sure! Thanks for the tip! ☺️👌🌼

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio 2 дні тому

      Hi! No they are not ment for putting as is in the mail. More to put in a journal or to send happy mail and put it inside a real envelope for real mail then. ☺️🌼

    Hello Chantal… so many details… don’t know where to begin… I suppose the obvious place is… Beautiful Envelopes, Chantal!!! I have not been making cards let alone envelopes for too long now but I LOVE the envelopes and the idea of a coordinating insert whether it be a card, invitation, or a heartfelt letter of encouragement/admiration/appreciation… I have not played at all with the wax seal idea although… I love the idea and finally purchased a box of wax melts in various colors although I do not have any of the tools to impress into it but I have seen some people use rubber stamps (first coating it with VersaMark ink to protect it). Although hard to believe, I have had the WeR eyelet tool and a wide variety of eyelets for a number of years and have not once successfully created an eyelet which I have wanted to put at the top of homemade tags, etc. so… another couple of items to add to my 2025 Artsy bucket list! I am so wanting to be creative in some way everyday this year but it’s improbable but not impossible… I think the biggest help to being able to accomplish such a lofty goal especially on work days is to have some materials prepped in advance which include quick & easy projects like collage pages in a 3x5 Moleskin like I did in 2023. I’m not sure if I mentioned to you wanting to explore watercolor more this year but that’s what I did the first 3 days of this year. I had previously created some 3.25x4.75 cards and painted them with various PaperArtsy Fresco finish paints and plan to stamps images from their various artists (Alison Bomber in particular) and then watercolor the images. I also would really like to do Marta’s Jumbo Card challenge with her books. I’m still working in my first 5x8 journal that will be perfect for her 20 books released in 2024 - one page for each book with a title page listing the books and the last page having either multiple elements or… using one of her rice papers… yep… Thanks for all you do to encourage and inspire. It’s a delight to spend time with you! Take care and have an awesome week!!! 🙂❤🦋

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio 2 дні тому

      Oh, Sue, I love reading you! You inspire me to create videos because I do understand what you mean when you write to me, and it gives me ideas on what others might also feel or think as crafters. I love reading your insights. I also like watercolor, and I'm trying to figure out a way to talk about painting and / or using other mediums and exploring crafting in general. I want 2025 to be a year where I challenge myself to be better in many areas and be less afraid to try new things. We shall see! Have a wonderful week, and thank you for being here.🤗🌼💕

    Happy New Year, Chantal 🎉 I enjoyed seeing you do an art journal page again. The outcome was great… loved the colorful metallic watercolors as accents/highlights. I also liked your encouragement to eliminate self doubt and just keep going. I generally battle self doubt right from the get-go so don’t even get started… Hoping to overcome brain fog and exhaustion to enjoy being creative again SOON… All of Marta’s books are calling out to me wanting to play! LOL Take Care… all the best to you and yours in 2025 🙂

    Great advice! Thanks so much. I have so much self doubt. I am always told I should be selling what I make but I just don't see that it is good enough to sell. I need to go with my heart more and do away with doubt. Thanks so much. Lov what you are working on. It is absolutely beautiful!

    Oh my gosh! What a beautiful message that I guess I needed to hear right now. I have tons of papers,supplies etc. to start on my junk journals, I just keep doubting myself. I have never been any kind of crafter (hell..my handwriting looks like a toddlers)lol. So I never take that first step. And even if I manage to, I always tell myself it looks terrible :-( But...I'm trying to not be so self critical, and reminding myself that no one will see this (journal) but me. Thank you so much for this inspirational pep talk 🙂 ❤❤❤

    You are so right about self-doubt. Sadly, I have way too much of this. And it does hold me back. It is something that I am trying to work on because it really makes a difference. This is so beautiful. You never seem to have any self-doubt at all. But, I know that’s not possible for anyone to not doubt themselves at any time. Thank you for a beautiful year of inspirations. I wish you and your family a peaceful and enriching 2025, filled with love and light. Hugs ❤️🤗🥂🍾

    Lovely soft colours in the little personal notebook. I have family who like gnomes, Xmas flowers and one anything bluejay. Great to use my scraps for something handmade and so useful. The brads are the icing on the cake. Bookmarks are one of my favourite items to make. Today is -23°c with windchill north of Toronto. Going to try the picture frame for new baby and put magnet on the back. Happy Holidays🤶🎅

    • @ThePurringCatStudio
      @ThePurringCatStudio 17 днів тому

      I hope you stay warm in Toronto! 🥶 Here in Cape Breton, it's -5 feels like -9 with the wind so, not too bad, and it's sunny. Yes, making the pocket frame can be so much fun with a magnet, and then we can change the picture as we want. I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful holiday season! 😊 🎁🎄☃️
