Hi there, have seen so many ways on how to dress up envelopes, but you have yet another style. That is what makes journaling such fun. The creativity is never ending.
Best video I've watched in awhile. Very informative, pleasant to listen to without the chit chat nonsense. Great product and so well taught. I cat wait to make one. Loved it, you are awesome instructor. FABULOUS
LOVE IT!!! I really appreciated how everything was pre-cut, inked, etc. It fast fed us the information which is important as a number of us are really limited in the time we can watch the tutorial. Please keep your creativity flowing. This was inspiration and practical!
What a wonderful book. Watching you and seeing all the pretty papers gave me the idea of making a few of these, creating all the tags the tags, and write on the back of each one, special notes for some special friends and my two daughters. Sounds like fun to me. Thanks for the great idea using multiple envelops. You explain everything well and have a very nice voice. Glad I found you.
Thank You for the very organized video. Love your project. Some awesome dyed papers you cover up, but I also love the how you've used them. Fun coffee break for me.
Thank Anna, I really really enjoyed watching you create these multi pockets folio. It’s really awesome and stunning too, and yes I really can see me creating some of these. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
What a lovely insert! Your thoughtfulness at being prepared and keeping a good pace is much appreciated. You have a pleasant voice to listen to and are clear and precise. I am a new fan! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Love it! After I tried this kind of envelope folio I learned not to glue the fold of the envelope so close to the side .. after putting in a tag or paper it would lift up and be too “poofy”! Lol I saw on another video where they suggested you leave about an eighth of an inch space from the fold of the envelope .. helps eliminate the poofiness! Love your papers! Too cute! Ty
This is so adorable! I’m hooked! I would like to start making these as gifts, after I get the hang of it. Could you please add a link for the video where you start using it and attaching journaling cards or whatever? Extra papers, etc.? I’m dying to see how this grew & turned out.
Love the design of this folder!!! For the sticky part on the very back...if you have an embossing powder bag, you can rub that on the sticky part and it should make it not sticky anymore. 😀
Love that idea , I have seen gayle make it and 2 others , gayle did the envelopes sticking down exact same as you but couple other put the envelope flaps direct on front not on back page , in the end it dont matter cos its all covered up , n you made it look so more more easier to make , thank you alanna
You have my everlasting thanks for pre inking your papers. Thank you so much. All that distressing and inking on other videos plus the inane personal chatter is really starting to trigger me. you have a forever subscriber here.
I really enjoyed this video, I love the assemblage !,❤️. Thank you! I also appreciate that I and didn’t have to watch you cut paper and fumble through measuring.
Found your digital kits today thanks to Gayle so I looked for a channel too. Love these. I was glad you caught the oops wrong glued spot. We all do it! Glad to see I’m not alone
I am going to make this for my sister! Beautiful. And how nice to see you in person after conversing with you on your Etsy store! Belated Merry Christmas and my wishes for a happy and healthy 2021!!!
It’s wonderful that you have pre-cut and pre-thought (and pre inked) all of this so you’re not doing everything while on video. it shows you have a very fine sense of focus and organization. you must be a teacher or an engineer perhaps? Anyway thank you for not jabbering and inking everything while on video I admire your style! ❤️ subbed!
LOL did I hear your Ring notification? I get those all the time. ROTF. Very nice video!! Thank you so much for sharing. :) I wanted to edit this to say, this is a very nice video! I really enjoyed it. TFS
Lovely!!! May I ask, how did you achieve the circles pattern on your coffee dyed papers/file folders/envelopes? Love your projects! a new tutorial, perhaps?
Just found you and love this project. I’m curious about the table top or mat you are working on. It seems like I’ve seen several youtubers with the same or a similar background. Does anyone know if that’s an item that is sold as a mat or protective surface? Thanks!
Oh my goodness I am so excited to make this! And I need to buy another kit! LOL. And I just found the Scribner radio music book off of eBay for 6.50! Free shipping I am so excited! Do you know the entire library of those is like $75? I bet you got a way better deal?
Question. How strong is the fold of the flaps as that area will be opened and closed with just the envelope paper. I am talking about the natural envelope crease at the flap. I have enjoyed watching and thank you for your talents.
Pauline Johnston it’s pretty strong but I have seen people reinforce with either washi tape or first aid tape. That would definitely give it some extra strength. Thanks!!
The print shop I went to used a slightly glossy, lightweight cardstock. I actually prefer matte, but it looks great with this project!! Thank you so much for the kind words! I always feel like I have a lot to learn still!
In this video, you referenced a follow-up video to show decorating it...and what to do with the back side. May I know the names of those videos, so I can find them? I'm having trouble locating. TIA!
Question: I’m making my first Journal w/a fabric spine. The cover's done & the fabric glued on the spine, however…. I also want to sew around the spine, but whenever I ask Mom to get out the Sewing Machine, she balks at it & why? Because she's too scared the needle will break due to how thick the cover is & wants me to use the big heavy duty one she has for Leather & similar fabrics. I'm balking at that because I'm scared of the size of the hole the needle will leave behind. It's a floral themed Journal, so I don't want any huge hole/stitches on it. That would ruin it. If I've promised her I'll go slow & easy w/using the regular Sewing Machine, but…🙄. I converted what was a frozen Mac & Cheese box for my base, then used from a Michael's Recollections pad two sheets of Cardstock w/Lily like flowers in pink, ble & beige on them. One for the front, one for the back. My inside cover…Mom accidentally opened a jar of Canned Beets one night just as I was literally finishing up doing Coffee Dyed Paper. So I put the juice to good use. 😁. So those are my Inside Covers/End Papers. The Fabric's just a Fat Quarter I got from Dollar Tree. So…What do you think? Is all that too thick for our regular Machine to handle or not? Thanks in advance _ Take Care!! 😊
It's really hard to say and I don't want to be responsible for a broken machine 😂 I would probably go for it but only you know your machine and the thickness. I usually sew details on the fabric before adding them to the journals. Totally up to you though!!
@@pinkmonarchprints Thanks for answering. Sadly, it's all a moot point. Mom decided to "help" me by moving the basket it & all the Ephemera I'd made for it one day I was out &...😁. Mom suffered a Stroke in February & my Sister & I had to put her into a Nursing Home. That House is cleared out for it to sell. None of it turned up. So thanks for getting back to me me, but this works for something else I'm planning. I also make Minnie Mouse Ears as well & those Dollar Tree Seasnal Microtowels. If the image isn't too big, they're perfect for that. Also make reallly nice Decorative Pillows as well. The Sunflower one they've got this year though? It's perfect for Journal Cover IMO. So that's going to be the 1st Junk Journal I'll be stitching around. A Friend of mine loves Disney's Tangled & this would be so amazing for as a Tangled Journal. I thinks I've rambled long enough now. 😁 Thanks again & Take Care!! 😊
hello, just found you today as i embark on my first junk mail into journal journey. i have one question - you went through the effort to coffee/tea stain the envelopes, then you covered them up with the colorful papers. why go through the staining process - couldn't you have inked just the edges and arrived at the same result? Is there something in the staining process that makes it worth the effort? (i don't have much room to deal with the drying phase)
Absolutely! You don't need to dye anything if you don't want to. I just had the paper and enveloped dyed already so I just used them. But you are right.... it wasn't necessary. :)
Prepping your things ahead of time is much appreciated also appreciate your down to earth approach with no stories about your private life or ramblings that comes to peoples minds. you must be a very efficient and organized person thank you very much

Ha ha!!!! I am SOOOO not an engineer! But I am married to one. Maybe he's rubbing off on me, but I doubt it. I am literally crazy unorganized!
I second that!! Totally an enjoyable video to watch!
You make complicated simple! Love this and yes, I can see wanting to add one more envelope Lol!

Think it would make a great gift as is.
I appreciate that you preinked. 😉 What is your trick for cutting the paper to fit the window envelope?
Lovely!!! May I ask, how did you achieve the circles pattern on your coffee dyed papers/file folders/envelopes? Love your projects! a new tutorial, perhaps?
Love the base file folder idea!! Thank you for sharing!!❤
Enjoyed your vIdeo, thanks for sharing 💐
I love flippy things and this one is fab, love the paper's. TFS 💕
Love this Anna, so quick and easy, but looks great 🥰
So cute and love the paper!
I really love this!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience
I love working with file folders- what a beautiful flip - thanks for sharing
Love love the final project!! Do you have a tutorial of how to dye paper with your pan??
Just found you and love this project. I’m curious about the table top or mat you are working on. It seems like I’ve seen several youtubers with the same or a similar background. Does anyone know if that’s an item that is sold as a mat or protective surface? Thanks!
I'm not sure what anyone else uses, but mine is sort of a vinyl cover that I put over my old cutting board! Ha ha! It works....
I did one like this before but a bit different. Can't wait to try the way you do it, I would never be able to get mine into a signature. haha
Ha ha! I get that! My journals always seem to end up extra chunky! 😂
Lovely!!! May I ask, how did you achieve the circles pattern on your coffee dyed papers/file folders/envelopes? Love your projects!
I recently saw a pot cover that had all those holes in it. I thought maybe it was used to lessen spatter or to steam buns while the pot is cooking.
She mentions how in the video.
Love it...can't wait to try one!
Just found you today! This is so adorable!! New subbie 😊❤
OMGOSH this gives me so many ideas!!!! thank you so much for this! xoxo
Newbie to junk journaling! Adore your vids. Any tips on cutting the paper around those envelope windows? Mine turned out *wonky.*
Love this and definitely going to try this! TFS! New subbie from Northern Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦.

Oh my goodness I am so excited to make this! And I need to buy another kit! LOL. And I just found the Scribner radio music book off of eBay for 6.50! Free shipping I am so excited! Do you know the entire library of those is like $75? I bet you got a way better deal?

Awesome tutorial! Could you please tell me what kind of paper did you use? It appears to be thin and shiny. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful. Would you please tell us the height and width of your folder. Much appreciated!
Hi there! It started out as the standard 11.25"x 9" but I cut off the tab that sticks up. Hopefully that helps.
@@pinkmonarchprints You are so very kind to reply. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful weekend!
Nice piece!
LOVE ❤️ so❤️ much!
This is awesome & do I have junk envelopes, What paper do you use for printing It looks heaver than what I use,
Love it!
Gorgeous!
What is this super glue you use? Also, wonderful design; I’m in the middle of attempting my first one.
I like Fabri-Tac. Works amazing for me!
Lovely!!
Love this by the way!!
So cute cute. Great instructions, New subscriber
Such pretty paper
Great tutorial.
I bought your kit, Vibrant melodies and love it. What kind of paper are you printing on to get that nice shine? Love this file folder that you made!
The print shop I went to used a slightly glossy, lightweight cardstock. I actually prefer matte, but it looks great with this project!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I always feel like I have a lot to learn still!
In this video, you referenced a follow-up video to show decorating it...and what to do with the back side. May I know the names of those videos, so I can find them? I'm having trouble locating. TIA!
I have done nothing today no housework no nothing except for watching these videos
Such fun

I wish I knew how you cut out the window area on your scrapbook paper so it lines up with the envelope.
Great tutorial! New Subbie!
