ALL ABOUT ENVELOPES APRIL #7: Envelope Transformation | Guest Design Team Project for

Hi guys, welcome to episode 7 of "All About Envelopes April"! In today's video, we're diving into a creative project where I transform a simple envelope with a window into a stunning pocket with a policy closure. This versatile creation can be used in your journals or as a standalone project, adding a touch of elegance and practicality.
I'm thrilled to be a part of the guest design team for the amazing @SamPoole this month. For this project, I've used her new digital kit, "Gentlemen from the Past," which perfectly complements the vintage aesthetic we're going for. You can find this kit available for purchase on Etsy-check the link below!

I think I've been living in Sevenplaza world a little too much. Today I was looking all over for my craft knife. Knew it was always around on my desk. I looked for hours. I was looking for YOUR yellow knife. Mine is gray and blue. When I finally found it I thought, "what the heck is this?! I thought it was yellow." Didnt realize why I thought that until just now when I saw you using MY knife. 😂

That’s hysterical!!

[@SamPoole]

Absolutely LOVE the way this came out! Those brads and eyelets look fantastic for the grungy vibe 😎 Thank you again for being a guest designer for me, it’s an absolute privilege to have you on board 💕 You are so talented and you make me laugh in your videos 😆 I failed that cutting class too 😂😂 Have a wonderful day xoxo

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks sweetheart 🥰

[@WednesdaysChild713]

This is *so* fabulous! Great masculine vibe too! 😍 Thank you for showing us the way! 😊

[@DeniseS-6867]

LOL, I did go to Kindergarten and still can't cut straight. Not surprised you were asked for Sam Poole's design team, Congratulations, will look forward to seeing your guest projects. Beautiful envelope project🩷🪻💙

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 😊

[@roxannerabold42]

Love this project as well as the previous envelope projects - your creativity is endless and so inspiring❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 😊

[@PAPixels]

I have this printable gentlemen's kit now, thanks to you. Love the way you put it to use with the envelope! Another great creation from my favorite KZbinr!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@louisedesantis6068]

It was a shaker box, a lantern, some snow, maybe, and I forget now what the image was but I LOVED it. It was evocative of a hushed Christmas night. I wanted to make it with all my soul! It wasn’t until after poring over the supplies and other details that I realized that the designer, Sam Poole, was in the UK. That’s an instant banishment from my list due to cost of shipping, of course. There might have been a Cricut involved, too, and that has not yet entered my world. With great regret I stopped purposefully looking at her stuff. Your mention of involvement as a Guest Designer for Sam Poole impelled me to plant my admiration and fan-dom of hers here. May you derive much pleasure from exchanging ideas with her! I see it as a collaboration of two Masters of Paper Craft. Oh, have fun; and then show us!

[@debbytowers6416]

Absolutely love this. I was watching this in bed last night and you gave the gentlemen names. "His name is Bill, his full name is William". Then "This is Anthony". My husband was half listening and said "Good choice of names!" ......His name is William Anthony and we shorten his first name to Bill 😂😂😂. How do you keep coming up with such great ideas? Brilliant! Love your work. ❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Brilliant 😂😁👍🏻

[@susanwoodcarver]

You are amazing! I especially love how you made the closure. I’m new to paper crafting and you are an inspiration. I never thought you could do so much with “numbers“. So, I have to ask … do you have a favorite number? And if so, could you tell us what it is? Thank you so much for your videos and your instructions and your wonderful attitude. It is a pleasure to watch your channel all the way from here in Chicago. ❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

My favorite number is 47. There is a whole community that believes it’s the most used or most common number there is. Once you start to pay attention to it , you will notice this is true 😂👍🏻😁

[@susanwoodcarver]
