"I am going to distress it because...." Looks at camera. lol. You're so cute and funny. And these are fantastic ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@samanthastimpson1968]

Nik, you are just adorable! Don’t ever be afraid to show your face! Your sense of humor makes your videos a real pleasure to watch. I have to say that it was better seeing your expressions and body language as you were making jokes and light of things than the first video I watched where we couldn’t see you!

[@joyrump4771]

aaaaah it's mah face! and .... distress it ....don't know why, but we always distress everything - hilarious! . ..... You are so funny. Loved seeing your attractive face and these cute projects so thank you for powering through and posting the video. You make the most amazing books and I love seeing them so thanks for all you share.

[@chauntecavanaugh5840]

Wow! These are such adorable ideas! I just told my cousin I would send her some wildflowers from Texas. What a great way to package them! Your videos are so awesome. I love your quirky personality and cute snarky commentary. I was cracking up! Your journals and books are exquisite, so I was super excited to see a tutorial on a project that is simple yet adorbs! Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to try some! ❤

[@hoofnmouf9973]

Please, please, please keep sharing your fun self w/us all. You are ingenious & just a happy place to hang-out, not to mention what we learn & you inspire us to do. Thank you so, Nik, your work is grand. (Felicia, Texas)

The second one would be cute stamped with Christmas stamps and hung on the, Christmas tree with some cinnamon pouporri! Happy to see your face and meet Nik the Booksmith... thanks for the tutorials!

[@amitybloom159]

Oh what a pleasure! Definitely enjoyed putting a face to the name :) I completely agree that one tends to connect better with someone when we see their faces, loved it Nik! I also giggled with the "distressing" parts, your sense of humor is awesome!

[@MistyRaymond]

Oh Nik that was super fun watching you.. You are so darn cute my friend... You had me in stitches over your 'Distressing the edges look'.. and yep I don't know why we do this all the time either, I'm a shocker for that, the paper looks naked until I rub those edges.. lol... Looking forward to seeing more these types of videos, I loved it.... xox Hugs Fi

OmGosh...you are sooo funny and a pretty girl! You brought a smile to my face! Love seeing you. Do more like this

[@LepGold]

This was a great vid! Love the tea bag thingie! I'm so doing this. I usually make little envelopes and tuck spots out of the unused pages but this idea is awesome and what a great way to add a nice scent. Love it!

[@cherylrymer6782]

Loved seeing your face - and the book page crafts. Always looking for new and fun ideas and the tea bag fold idea is a great one.So many journals are tea or coffe themed thesedays. Yes do more for us to enjoy!

[@rebeccawallace2553]

Just discovered your channel. This was so refreshing. So many women out there, preening themselves, pouting at the camera and arranging their hair. Lovely to find a natural woman. Great sense of humour and self deprecatingly funny. Creative talent plus, plus, plus. Inspiring.

[@barbaramccullough604]

I definitely enjoy getting to see and know you and the other crafters on You Tube. It’s all about relationships and sharing our love for crafts. Thanks for sharing these. I am putting together my first journal so welcome all ideas. These will be great gifts too. 😀

[@thepaperjunglewithbobbiewe8266]

I'm a long time crafter "The paper Jungle" mostly making mini's and folios. I bought some of your images this morning and will try my first journal for myself - wish me luck, this is totally out of my comfort zone but will give it a go !

[@sangelwings1959]

We want more!! This was great. You have a joyful soul Nik.... Till next time! Carrie

[@carolyoung3164]

I love seeing your face!And I love these two items using book pages.Always wonder how to incorporate book pages into my journals etc.Something other than tags!I have been collecting items to make a garden journal and voila! Here' are two wonderful additions!Thank you so much. Carol Young

[@ruthedwards9642]

Loved this adorable quick craft idea. I already have some interesting ways to use this. Thanks so much, Nik.

[@diannashort8072]

You are a ray of sunshine in my world, thank you. Love you projects and I think they will be useful at Christmas.

[@ClaudiaSilva-wz3fk]

I just Love it, Nik !!!!! Two adorable gift ideas and really natural and funny video. I also connect better with people when I can see their faces. Thank you for share your works. Love, Cláudia (from Portugal)

[@kimberlyduncan1053]

There is also a law in my house & craft room that EVERYTHING must be destressed! lol - love it! Thanks for the ideas!

[@darlyswynn5594]

LOVED! You crack me up, and to see your facial expressions match your words...awesome! I have learned so much from your tutorials, and I have made so many books, it's like a daily thing now! Great work, as always! Byeeee

So funny loved this video 😁 it was great to see someone in front of the camera for a change ... you nailed it

[@amandacollins2854]

Loved your face and loved the ideas , a great alternative to Christmas cards.

[@christianecarson4321]

Love all your crafts... this is super cute! I always have a giggle or two or three while watching your tutorials because of your ''little asides' and amusing comments,... but today watching this video it was laugh out loud time! You're a natural comedienne with a subtle dry humour so if you ever get fed up of crafting you should go on stage... a one woman show definitely! Please please please do more on camera vids. Thank you so much for sharing all your lovely projects.

[@NiktheBooksmith]

yes, ma'am! I will def do that, thank you, Christiane =)

[@im4spike]

So much fun! Love watching. Super ideas, too! Thanks for sharing.

I like your work and way you present it; not only interesting tutorials but really awesome "talk about random stuff" moments. This chanel is going places.

[@elaineforan4751]

You are so talented. I love your voice and your natural chatter style. You are so easy to listen to. Could easily imagine you among a room of friends just chatting away. Tfs.

[@PurpleCottageCrafts]

Nic...you are hilarious. Love the looks while distressing. It's so true that a connection is felt when you see the person doing the video. I've been trying to do more of that on my own channel. You are such a pretty lady...glad to put a face with the name. I love your channel and I will definitely tag you when I make my own book page crafts. I've been playing with paper for 22 years (has it really been that long...yikes) and I love learning new styles and techniques. Thanks for sharing this with us and I look forward to more "Nik Mah Face videos lol 😉

[@natalierice6528]

I recently discovered your channel. Your journals are amazing. I love your sense of humor and you remind me of my little sister. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@carolyoung3164]

These are so cute.I am gathering items for a garden journal and these would be awesome additions.Thanks so much for sharing and for clear instructions as well.Always like your videos because you give good instruction and the ideas are usable,too.

[@SammyAL2002]

Love your videos ~ and it IS nice to see you! These little packets look do-able (for me) and fun to add to things 😊 Thank you so much!

[@punkinpatch1856]

You're beautiful Nik. I love your hair and wish mine would do those beachy waves. I've either got ringlets or straight. Those vintage books behind you look yummy too!! Great ideas for embellishments. TFS

[@joyp224]

Nik, love your sense of humor. tfs especially love the bookpage tea sachet.

[@72mje]

I loved these little projects. You are seriously funny!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

ha! thanks ;)

[@aweezielchk]

Nik - a little tip for the "strings" - put a little bit of Vaseline on your fingers and apply around the tip of the applicator. Do this periodically and viola, no strings. Love your creations!

[@ameliasarno1210]

This was awesome and I love seeing you!! You are too funny!! A face to the funny!! Loved the tips and how to videos.

[@teresaford8906]

Love these ideas! Great video. Funny and informative. And a beautiful face! What's not to love? I'm subscribed and can't wait for more! 😊

Too funny! Please do more. Helpful and entertaining, and yes, I loved seeing your face! Thank-you.

What great nice little packages and so many different things you can use them with a little distress on the edges. :) Thanks for the tip.

🌷 Nik, I love your videos and your beautiful work and I totally loved seeing your pretty face today 🌷You are so animated and I love it‼️The tutorials are darlin and a great way to use up my book pages. Thank you for sharing 💐

[@JournalsInTime]

Yay!!!! You so brave :-)and talented and cute and funny...lol...do more of these vids. it was great xxx

[@silverpromidi]

[@jjjoy7887]

Nik, it was great to put a face to your self. You are a gift... thanks for keeping it real...

[@sandanene]

“Turbo tacky, story of my life” made me snort my coffee! Love your stuff!

[@vickyconerty8822]

Thank you!! Hardly seems like enough to express how fun you and your videos are. I'm sure I'm not the only one who liked seeing ya face. Going to play with paper now...

[@dangell8984]

You crack me up! Love the videos and pls do more!!! Such a pleasure and thanks for the laughs.

[@suemr1]

Hi Nik, You are such a scream and I love the French accent that comes through sometimes! Thanks for sharing again and hope you keep up the tutorials, seeing your face occasionally, as you are a breath of fresh air. As I live in Western Australia I can't always use the same products but you're explanations are great so I can usually substitute. Yah, coming shopping with you sounds great. Would love to see what your shops are like, especially your thrift shops.

[@AuthorKellyKirch]

"Here's your gift. Have a tea bag." 😂 Loved seeing you. You're just as awesome as I thought you'd be.

[@stephaniemcclaran967]

Loved this , can't wait to make the teabag ! Thanks for sharing ! I just LOVE all of your stuff ! :)

[@freedom9690]

It is really nice to see the face behind the camera. You are a beautiful, hilarious, and brilliant lady! Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was so simple that I had to run and try it and that never happens. I used tracing paper, inked it up, of course, and used a seed packet stamp set by Graphic 45 (Home Sweet Home 3) even though it looks like a tea bag. Then I added lavendar. I love how you can see the contents through the tracing paper. Oh, the possibilities. Thanks again. Mrs. Wallie

[@NiktheBooksmith]

see?? you people are genius! great idea =)

[@altheamathewson1677]

I love your videos!! You are funny and so down to earth. I would love to see more of them. I am new to journal making and loving the ones you have done. I first saw you on Jenofeve Designs. I am such an introvert..wish I could be more like you. Thank you for all your videos!

[@vegasjill21]

So nice to actually see one of my new fav crafters!!! Actually, I should say "artist". I just found your amazing talented self a bit earlier and have been enjoying your vids, and drooling at all your beautiful, creative, amazing journals. So thank you so much!! And you also have a happy new sub!! ♥

[@thegypsy1968]

You totally made my day...omg laughing and smiling...Love Love Love your videos and seriously you are sooo talented!...thank you so much for sharing, love and hugs from North Carolina

[@peggydid]

I looked at this again! Going to make these for our ladies group in January. They will have snowflakes, as we always do something "flakey" in January! Maybe I'll put herbal teabags inside....Anyway, they are so cute! And I love watching you make them to show us how!

[@lythiamoyer2847]

[@shelbyd4854]

Yay!! this was awesome! I like your face! hahahaha and I love that you have the same dorky, quirky, I have no idea, attitude that I, and many others I'm sure, have. Thanks for going through with sharing, and I look forward to seeing more, as always!

[@katlescraftpatch9605]

It's a nice face! Love your work sweetie. Keep it up! 💗💗💗 I love your expression every time you distress! LOL!

[@lorreemyres4126]

I like the tea bag project. And it was nice to see you, you always make me feel like your setting in the same room and we are crafting and having fun. You always make me laugh.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

[@sweetcurly28]

[@N3k0N3k0N3k0]

You are just so watchable, you brighten my day, you are so clever at crafts. Thank you for sharing its really good.😀

[@jtsageut]

I love your expressions- you are so fun. Thanks for the inspirations!!!

[@dee6075]

Loved the video! Love your facial expressions when you 'distress'

[@rneustel388]

Love to see your face!! Somehow I just knew you were making those faces and expressions with your eyes. 😳 I could see using the 'teabag' in a smaller version as ornaments on a Christmas tree. It would be fun to use all kinds of papers, vintage and new, with pretty, hand-dyed ribbon.

[@chrisazz282]

Love seeing your face for a change, thanks for the funny tutorial.

[@heatherproctor9549]

I love your hair! These are great project ideas.

[@josieredington3917]

Thank you for your tutorials! I love them! You are so brave to do them and to show your cute face. I have not been brave enough to do that, not that I would have any idea how to!

[@frenca2020]

Hiiii Nik !!!! It is soooooo cool to see your face !! Very pretty girl..:) Love tea bag idea... I may try it.Thank you so , so much Nik.. just wonderful !!! Have a lovely weekend !!!

[@WishesandWeeds]

I just STARTED my first junk journal on Monday thanks to your beginner tutorial. Today I made TWO tea bags out of book pages that I removed from the original book! I will use one as an embellishment in my journal. Thanks for all you do!

[@WishesandWeeds]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZTKlpWlh5iGjLc I made a video of me making your tea bag embellishments - and tagged you!

[@yolandagypsy]

thanks for sharing and would love to see more of these please

[@TameraSlattery]

I love this tut. and getting to see your FACE lol you are adorable !!! Please do more !!!

[@RoxannePonds]

Hilarious! I love these two projects! I am totally going to do them for gifts from now on. I just discovered you a few days ago and I am so enjoying your work! ❤️ oh and .... distressed 😆

[@2thehoodlife]

Loved this video! Thank you for all the fun stuff you do!

[@luzramos3727]

Hi Nik. I really enjoyed this video. You made me laugh a few times. 😆You have a quirky sense of humor. Besides that, I love your work. You are so talented and your books are amazing.... I have to do some research and learn how to age and emboss the altered book covers. I love that look 🙂

[@listychick]

honestly you do such beautiful and amazing work

[@lisashappycrafting1263]

You can use whatever you want, I’m not your mom. 😂🤣 priceless.

[@coraleeguajardo720]

It's nice to see a face connected to the voice instead of the hands. Don't get me wrong, love your creativity and enjoy listening to you while you create.

[@Sujowi]

You have just solved a dilemma...the second packet will be perfect for gift cards. My nieces love gift cards but even in pre printed packets they don’t look special. But now they get a special package as well. Loving your channel....discovered you two weeks ago and I am organising my first junk journal...thanks for your generosity...and humour! You are great company!

[@BunnyBowDesign]

You are a perfect entertainer! Your mimic completed your fascinating stories 🤣

[@sandrahuckleberry8306]

Nik,Just watching some of your earlier videos. I was cracking up watching you here. You're freakin' hilarious. Love your sense of humor. LOL

You are crazy funny. I love you! You're a lot of fun, plus you are a good teacher. Love your "people out there" type of remarks!!!! I'm the same! You're a fun part of my life. Thank you!
