I loved it
I cannot get enough of how organic your videos are! By organic I mean that you don't make things and then recreate them for a video, you actually give us a part of you by letting us watch you do things for the first time! I absolutely LOVE that! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Eugenia Redmond aww thank you so so much for your comment. ♡♡♡♡♡♡
I am glad you feel that way ! xx
Great and easy book. For the next cover, if you are using thick good quality paper, wet the areas where you will crease it with water, then crease, this will reduce the cracking of the paper.
CraftySamarita what a fabulous tip. Thank you so much ♡
I watched this video a really long time ago - probably soon after you posted it -- then in either Oct or Nov 2017, in my local thrift store I came upon two huge bags of really nice ivory-colored envelopes -- marked down to 99 cents each -- I think they were wedding invitation envelopes that didn't sell, so they donated them -- because they are new and in perfect condition -- but I'd been looking all of that time -- finally ! our area has thawed out from the frigid winter we had, and I got out my envelopes to watch your video -- you should be proud of your cover -- it's beautiful. I think I'm going to decoupage mine and maybe crochet a doily or something for the cover -- mine is not as large as yours -- I can't wait to use it. When my son was six, my friend gave me two really nice, large journals for Christmas, because I journaled a lot, and I made one for my son -- I printed pictures at home and put little notes he wrote -- sadly, the towers from 9-11 were there, but also his joy at seeing sharks right up against the window at the Baltimore Acquarium -- our house burned down in 2005, but by God's grace, his journal was spared, and I treasure it -- I'm 61 now and he is 27 and grown. Smush your little girl down and don't let her grow up -- : ) -- it comes so much faster than you can imagine - I love your channel -- you encouraged me to do cosmos paintings, which I love -- I use acrylics; I'm lousy with water colors, but the pictures are all over our house -- I live in the US. My country is so divided, I firmly believe it is through the arts that we can forget our differences, if only for a moment, and remember the beauty of life. I appreciate your time and effort to post these videos. I just started my own channel -- 3rscrafting JTB -- the Rs are reduce, reuse, recycle -- and this project does all of that -- be well, God bless -- Patricia
It is usually by trial and error that you end up with something even more perfect than you thought!!!!
Now I know what to do with the 200+ envelopes I have! (Gifted to me from a person who did wedding invites)
I love this. The imperfection is what makes perfect. I can use what I have and make a book that will be unique. Thank you for posting this.
OH MY GOODNESS YOU DID IT AGAIN MARTA,,, :)) I loved the way this was done and so easy. My daughter is getting married June 24, 2017 and I was looking to my her a journal for her bridal shower and wedding. So here I go making to 2 different ones for herself and my wonderful son-in-law. Thanks again for sharing all your wonderful ideas.
You are killing me on how easy you did this. I have watched lots of videos and tried making an album out of envelopes but adding the glue and tape to each envelope was a total disaster and it never came out even. Thank you so much
janet carlo exactly!! she makes it look so easy! :)
janet carlo to help them be straight did you use an even number envelope? Here she uses 6x6, so all side even. Hope this may helpb
I have tried other tutorials and they just never worked. I haven't tried Marta's yet.
How did i miss this? Maybe before i found you! I think my son would love this so much! Thank you 3 years late!
They are so beautiful great work. I love all your work. Thank you for sharing.
You are brilliant. Who would have known to fold envelopes that way. I am amazed.
I be buying envelopes tomorrow morning so I can try this thanks Marta for sharing
Even though the paper did not bend perfectly, I think that now you have a distressed look. Looks great!
I wish I could give you two thumbs up for this one, Marta! It was wonderful.
Hugs, cat
I was going through random videos and found this. I love crafting but my real passion is scrapbooking and journaling. As soon as I starting watching the video, I grabbed some envelopes and made a journal along with you. Thank you so much for posting this and your journal is beautiful!
Jennifer Hill yeah that is fantastic! !!!!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Jennifer Hill it would be nice to see yours tio. just sayin.
I did the same! Ran to get my box of envelopes and made one along with the video, such a genius idea thanks Marta!
This was amazing! Really liked the whole process; changing your mind, pressing on, the sharing of your thoughts, and the fact that you were really happy that you were able to accomplish it. Hugs, Debra
WOW! What a terrific idea. Such an easy to follow demonstration too, Marta. I am thoroughly enjoying your videos.
Again just like the little books from one piece of paper, you have refreshed my memory on how to make this too, as I had forgotten about them, so thank you so much Marta!! I actually preferred you doing the cover, 'off the cuff' unrehearsed, because I enjoyed watching your thought process, this is how I do some of my videos, so people can see that we are all the same and even experts/designers/teachers have the same thought processes as someone only doing this for the first time! Thank you I could watch you all day, I love your accent & sweet voice! Hugs from England, Vick xxx
Your excitement over this project made my whole day. It's a great feeling when a project works out, isn't it? LOL. LOVE the journal and the simplicity of it. TFS!
I love it’s ‘imperfection’. I love hand made journals. The envelope idea is great fun!!
Perfectly imperfect! I searched all morning for this envelope journal video and I not one bit disappointed! I will be making one too! I love it! Thanks!
I'm so in love with your idea. I wish I can give it a million likes. Martie from Cape Town, South Africa
I loved watching your ingenuity in action. Very good ideas throughout the video! Thanks for sharing!
I could listen to you all day!
me too!
me three!
Shirley S some days I actually almost do.... so relaxing...
I LOVED it!! I actually for the first time ever, paused the video and grabbed my box of envelopes and dumped my kids cereal in a bag and made one while I followed you!!! It turned out so so cute too! Love it, love it, love it!!!
I love your first journal,I also love how excited you were when you saw what you could do.
finally! something granny can follow. thanks! a bunch!
Best tutorial by far and I’ve been looking for years
you are most welcome !!!! :)
This is such a creative idea! And I wouldn't worry about the rough edges where you folded the scrapbook paper over the cover. It just adds to the vintage/distressed look that the paper already has!
This is 2 years later but maybe someone will read it = I think Marta should have used her bone folder (scoring tool) over the folded over edges and it would have smoothed them out. Just an idea.
this is beautiful!!! I love things that are perfectly imperfect!!! you should decorate some pages on camera!! I want to try and make this so bad now after seeing you do this! 😊😊
Adorable! Can't wait to make one! Very simple but yet functional! ❤️😀 Thank you Marta 😊
I love how genuinely surprised you were that it works and how happy you were with what you e made. I love this project it’s super fun. Defiantly want to try this!
I love this! So simple and no ugly chunky. Classy
I want you to know that I enjoy all of your videos and I learned so much.
I think you are just adorable !🌺
I love this idea so much. You're so generous to share these with us!
OMG I LOVE>>>>>LOVE!!!!!!!!! I can actually see myself doing this. I TRULY ADORE YOU and the way you create.....LOVE your excitement over what you created and I so shared in your excitement I was clapping and actually doing my happy dance and cheering out loud. Your video was Outstanding and your Mini Envelope Album is Spectacular. Love your Tutorial it was Outstanding....Thanks for keeping it totally real.....and it was absolutely Exciting that you created something you'd never done before right before our eyes.....I love the way you so called eyeball it....used your scissors....and truly used nothing besides your doublesided tape, glue/glue gun and paper & your hands...and truly you created a Fabulous Envelope Mini. OMG!!! Wishing you a Tremendously Terrific Tuesday....you video sure gave this type of day to me. GIRL YOU SO ROCK!!!!
Joan Smith
Dear Joan :) Thank you so so much for your sweet comment. I am super happy you enjoyed it !
Love, Marta xx
I just love how you come on here and do things that you did not plan to do even if it is your first time and how excited you get when things work out.
I love it too. Thank you so much. Your work is amazing.
It turn out amazing beautiful I love it I had fun watching you make this thank you so much for sharing this video thank you have a bless day love and creative colorful hugs to you
OMG Marta.. it's way cool. I absolutely admire your innovativeness and as always I love watching your videos. I just can't stop lol. thanks Marta for been so creative.
Brilliant using envelopes. For journals I'm going to use I don't want a lot of stuff already added to it; I'm a writing journaler who enjoys writing whatever is in my mind for the day and perhaps adding personal photos, clippings, etc. The envelopes provide plenty of room for both!!
So fun and inspiring to make 👏🤗🌹🌻🌺🌼🌞😍
Love this!!! 😊💕💕💕 Wow! Thank you, Marta! 🤗💕🌟💕
Bravo! Love it! Great fantastic idea! You should be in love with this!!!! Love it!
Totally LOVE it! Great job. I really enjoyed watching your thinking process as you figured things out. PERFECT!
Great journal idea with envelopes! ✉️📖📚 Thanks for posting!❤🖌🎨
Thank you for teaching this today!! I very much enjoy watching your videos and you are very sweet.
Love this video..Thank you..
Easy enough for all to try, especially with grandchildren..
I love it!! I love how pleased you are as well! That's exactly how I would feel. You make it look so easy. The best part is how perfectly imperfect you assembled it. Sometimes it's the imperfections or mistakes that make a project more lovable. I struggle with being a perfectionist and that's where crafting helps me learn to just create and enjoy the process. I can't wait to try this!!
I am so glad I found your videos. You create masterpieces as I do. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more.
🧡 💛 💚 💙 thank you for your kind words!
absolutely love this! you always are showing ideas for people to be able to have great things on a budget, thank you so much for that!
I am absolutely LOVIN IT too....you did a great job....I'm actually going to try it tomorrow...Beautiful.
Beautiful envelope journal I love it!!! And soon it will be full of gorgeousness ❣️Thankyou xo
Such a pretty cover and I enjoyed watching the learning process. Envelopes are a great idea! Yesterday I covered a ring binder with one of my acrylic-paper paintings. Covering is always a satisfying project.
I use a brayer, especially around the inside cover edges - it really helps flatten it all even more :)
Thanks, Rite as Rain. I will have to get a brayer.
I love this ..you are so talented. I like the way u are not so precise and not afraid to go out side the box
I had so much fun watching this and that you are learning too as you go along. Great stuff!
Thank you so much 😊. I really love 💕 this!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s so awesome and stunning and the imperfections make it so awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. I’m never ever disappointed with you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Dear sweet Martha, I love your first journal, the cover is so beautiful & the idea of using envelopes for the pages is really great! You don't really have to have a big paper to cover all the cover, you can do it with two pieces (one for the front & one for the back cover) and use a third for the spine, just a bit wider from the spine to cover a little bit the front & back pieces. The problem with the broken edges of the paper at the points where it folds has happened to me too. In order to hide it and protect the paper, I have put a layer of gel medium on it. Another idea is to distress all the edges and color it with your favorite distress color. Thank you for your lovely & inspiring videos! 💖💖💖💖💖
wow!!! this came out soooooo great!!!!
I made myself 5 ...10 page, (20) both sides..lovely, journals with craft paper envelopes 💗💗💗 they are beautiful. The thickness of craft paper is gorgeous and strong , very unique envelope journals. I picked up a pack of 50 from Michaels approximately 5 dollars ,a few months ago! and thought there was blank cards to match. It was when I was looking for envelopes for this project that I discovered that it was only envelopes. A happy accident 😃🤗, I need to get another box lol I'm just so happy with the unique color & quality. I made 5 out of that box and can use one for art journaling and they are the only diy tutorial I have found making them how you created these types of journals😉many ideas but none created like your idea! thank you! I love this new direction your exploring into, keep up the imagination, uniqueness and cost friendly ideas. My creative mind has been awoken to more ideas each day, all thanks to you Marta💞 sending you creative hugs and huge thank you!
Best envelope tutorial ever. This plan is great. I am trying it.
Marta,
You are just one sweet and wonderful human being. I just love your excitement of discovery. Your excitement to share this with all of us. Thank you, this is a great project.
Thank you so much for this fabulous tutorial! I adore the fact that you leave in all your "mistakes" which are not really, but trial and error! You make it so much more personal ... a one to one discussion almost! I also adore your accent, which I have been trying to guess where you are from, but every now and then, there seems to be a trace of Irish accent .... lol! I have a similar thing with me, people keep trying to guess where I am from, as I seem to have so many different accents going on from all the places I have lived! I too, could listen to you all day, I love how you put things across! Thank you so much! xx
Like that it is a budget journal, and it looks great
Oh Marta, this is FABULOUS, thank you! ♡♡♡
I love your idea. I need to organize my receipts, and I could use old envelopes with this process. No need to go out and buy more envelopes!
Wow, what an easy way to make a journal, great idea and thanks for sharing. I love it too!
WOW!! This turned out perfectly 😊 ❤️ I love it as well ❤️
I love this! it's a nice way to make a journal on a budget. fantastic.
Brilliant idea and very well executed! Congratulations.
I love this! Thank you for showing us!!! 🙋🏻😀💜💙🖌🖍
Best project I’ve seen thus far
you did an great job, i loved it and once again you have inspired me to create so thank you for that x
Absolutely amazing!! Wow! I can't believe you just did that!! I'm impressed!! Gotta try that.
Love this. Clever and quick. Thank you for sharing . 😊
Great idea. Think it would be a nice gift and easy enough for a teenager to make.
I really love how you put the envelopes together. your enthusiasm is contagious. so fun to watch you. You are so cute.
Hi from Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada - our city of an hour east of Vancouver. Hope this finds you and your family staying sae and healthy during this very difficult time! I just came across your website and am really enjoying your tutorials. I really enjoy doing mini albums and envelope flip books / journals. Thank you so much for sharing !
How beautiful and simple! I love it.
what clever idea....great job....thank you so much for sharing this with us....
Awesome Marta this envelope journal is so cool to experiment new techniques in
Love this idea so much.....great job.
I love this lady.... and am going to watch more of her.The way she just went with it chatting away is so refreshing. I'm no longer going to try to make everything 'perfect' - love her style and that she tried out her first cover. I've never made a journal but have got as far as thinking about making a cover. Brilliant.
That is a great journal. Really cool. I will definitely give it a go soon as I can. Will probably be my 1st DIY journal. TFS
Gorgeous book ❤❤
Love how simple you made this, and it was trial and error. Will subscribe to just enjoy your personality and process. Tfs cheers
welcome :) happy to hear!
I have got to remember to get blank square envelopes next time I am at the craft store. Love that and it looks "doable" for me. Thanks!!
I'm so excited, I just made my first journal ever with you at the same time, thanks for your help!!!!🥰🥰📨📨📩📩📔
I love it. You made it look so effortless. Definitely need to make one for myself.
adore this video and technique! am collecting old envelopes on which the glue has dried out and sorting them into journals for my grand daughter to make and store gift tags. am also making covers from cardboard and failed bits of art. she will love giving these as presents xxx
First time I actually sat down to craft with you Marta. It was so easy all the way through putting envelopes together in pairs, then putting the pairs together to form the journal. However, it was too lose and floppy for me. I was very pleased that all the envelopes were even and very neat, when held together. I started to glue my pages, and my journal got wonky. Think next time it would be easier to glue the pairs together. Thanks for all your videos. I watch something everyday, plus visit the cafe.
You make me giggle!! You have a BEAUTIFUL Attitude and such a joyous personality, which makes you very special. Thank you for the sharing with us and I am going to try my hardest not to let myself get uptight when I do my journaling...Lol!!! Big Hugs!! :)
What a beautiful journal! I love how nothing seems to be too planned out and you have all these happy, creative surprises along the way! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful creativity Marta. 😃❤️
Your videos are always so wholesome and heartwarming to watch 💕💕 It's like I can feel your positive energy through my phone screen while watching. And I felt so happy watching you make your first journal cover (which came out amazing, no surprise there because you're so talented in your craft!!) Much, MUCH love to you as always and thank you for this wonderful video 💞
Very cute project . Very nice. Thank you for sharing 😊🌸👍🏼
I absolutely loved this tutorial and I can’t wait to make one! I especially loved the creation on the cover as you took us on the journey together...in its “imperfection” makes it even more beautiful!
Great job...your enthusiasm is spreading & I now want to make one too!
Such a good idea and great video for using up spare envelopes and use of other stuff to make your book
It's lovely❤...and Thank you for sharing the envelope-idea!!☺
