Thank you Gina

[@SpydersCorner]

I keep coming back to this one, l must've watched it at least seven times!!and everytime I see something g new! (I haven't worked out how to comment on the telly yet, so have to come back to my phone to do so) Love those little envelopes! Lovely tutorial! (Lyn)

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you, I'm not sure you can comment on the TV currently but you never know they may add that feature in the future

[@tammydayfl]

Thanks for showing how to make the envelope. I'm new to paper crafting and it really helped as well as showing how you decorate them. Have a fabulous day from Florida, USA!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Tammy.

[@valquitral8342]

Thanks for sharing your ideas for envelopes

[@CeriGriffiths]

My pleasure.

[@pamelamiller3287]

Thanks for thinking of the newbies. Your details on instruction and follow-through are so valuable to me. I've been junk journaling for about a 1 1/2 years now. You were were the first ytube channel on Journaling I watched. Today, you're still my favorite. Much love and Thank-you for all you do.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much and I appreciate your support.

Thank you

[@chrisgibson8409]

I love using envelopes..... but haven't really decorated them much!!! You have given me a lot of food for thought!!! Thank you so much Ceri!!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun Chris.

[@sharronmartin2511]

Thanks for showing us the different versions of envelopes. I loved watching your process.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Sharron.

[@KreativPaperArtisan]

Wow, I never thought to make an envelope out of a tag! Brilliant! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@CeriGriffiths]

My pleasure

[@CoriDahmen]

Very fun envelopes, Ceri and I agree whole heartedly. Sometimes, when you're creating, the decision of what to add or where to put something can't really be explained. It has to be felt and that feeling will be different for each creator. Lovely projects and I enjoyed crafting along to your delightful banter. Best of luck with the printer situation!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Cori I totally agree. I have to sort the printer or buy a new one.

[@B.journalcreations]

Again an amazing tutorial. Thank you for showing how you make envelopes and embellish them, the tag envelope is brilliant 🌸

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@sheliaporter6795]

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this idea! Thank you! 😊❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

My pleasure

[@aspiretoinspireartscrafts6248]

Thank you for sharing your botanical and vintage style for decorating envelopes, Ceri. I like how you demonstrated your own style by creating two different envelopes as well. You made it your own. Awesome!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you it was a fun challenge/collab.

[@InHappinessandDistress]

The tag for envelope was a new idea for me, brilliant! I love that you include the newbie info and explain it in a way that is not condescending , but with love and patience. I learn so much from you, therefore every time I have time on my hands I watch a few of the older videos.

[@michelel3372]

Awesome video, Ceri!! You always do such a great job explaining/showing your process and you have so many great ideas. You are a pleasure to watch. Thank you! ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

My pleasure Michele

You are so welcome

[@robinmentzer7974]

Ceri, all your envelopes turned out so lovely. Thanks so much for the tip of using a tag to make a mini envelope. I would have never thought to do that. I am definitely going yo try it.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun with it Robin.

[@normanearhoof5274]

Thank you Ceri for inspiring me ! I would like to compliment you on how you do your videos. You are the best!

[@CeriGriffiths]

You’re welcome Rhonda

[@RachandBellaCrafts]

Wow! What a fabulous and enjoyable hour and a bit spent watching your video! Your envelopes were fabulous! Harry Potter World, still trying to get tickets for school hols, they are like the holy grail. I would have cried if my ticket had gone funny too. Also not a fan of butterfly antenna, that’s a fabulous idea to use black thread, going to give that a go. Thank you so much for taking part in the collaboration and can’t wait to see everyone at the retreat in June! Just praying for sunshine now 😊. Have a lovely weekend. Rach xx

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Rachel, it was fun. See you in June.

Thanks for sharing. I liked how they came out. ☺️

[@CeriGriffiths]

I was pleased.

[@DonnaGower]

Thanks for showing us how to make an envelope, I'm a newbie who needed to see that. The envelope from a tag was a real "why didn't I think of that" moment

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Donna I always try to revisit the basics because there’s always someone watching for the first time.

[@beachngypsy746]

I enjoyed your video and I agree doing things in a production line is the way to go. Thanks for sharing your talents and tips

[@TheBernadette1953]

Wow Ceri, you are an absolute delight, I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial segment on styles and taking the already stand alone envelope and giving it a totally different style to suit your project! I really loved also your idea on making tags into envelopes, that was a top idea, thank you 🙏🏻It's been lovely to see you again Ceri, you have a brilliant, cheery, positive disposition and great to watch and listen to! Hugs and smiles 🙏🏻🫂😍

[@CeriGriffiths]

[@CeriGriffiths]

You’re welcome Sue.

[@darlenewilliams957]

Great ideas as always. Love watching you😊

[@bellascraftystudio]

Hi Ceri, I felt for you with the printer problem, mine went a few weeks ago but I managed after a few hours to sort it out. I hate it when I have to ask my grandkids! Lol Thank you so much for taking part in the collaboration. You did a fabulous tutorial. Bella ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you it was fun although I didn’t like filming it so close to the launch date but then that was out of my hands.

[@CraftroomStories]

Ceri, these are brilliant! I love how you talk through your thinking or feeling process. I understand about steampunk, it is not in me to want to make that style.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Peggy, I love the steam punk style but I just can’t seem to try it out because it’s a very specific look.

Thank you so much Ceri! I had so much fun watching you work things through…we never cease to learn new things! I love the ideas of using items that are not as they’re meant to be. Xxx Cheers

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@barbaracabrera207]

Very nice! Love how you tucked the envelope flap behind a butterfly! Very clever. I love clever! And making a small envelope with a tag! I would know so much less if everyone didn't share ideas. I'm so glad they do! TFS Austin TX USA

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Barbara.

fabulous video!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@rjr618]

My printer did the same thing. I had a wireless and it was because of that. Couldn't fix it so I just bought the USB cord that connects the printer and computer. I love this collaboration! It's so confusing figuring it out sometimes!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@phyllisj73]

Great video Ceri. Tyfs ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Phyllis

[@lindahyem5804]

Love your envelopes! I am sure enjoying this collaboration! You did a great job! Hugs

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Linda.

[@annelawver2703]

So sorry about the printer. Equipment failure is horribly frustrating, but you managed to carry on and create. Your idea of using tags to create envelopes is golden!

[@cathleenleininger9819]

Thank you for sharing. While I was watching I created a master board from 6x6 paper turning the paper. This stopped me from fussing trying to have a perfect pattern. Truly fun. Have been enjoying the collaboration of the other creators. Wishing you a wonderful day.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Cathleen

[@belindasmith3881]

P.S. Thanks for remembering that there are always newbies out there eager to learn.😊

Always on my mind Belinda.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Marie.

[@juliemonroe105]

Tag turned envelope, what a great idea. Each one turned out really well. You are such a pro. I would definitely be un- nerved by the printer issue. I'm hoping it is an easy fix.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you I hope so too

[@sandieaudsley5208]

thankyou im one of those newbies and i have learnt lots cheers

[@CeriGriffiths]

You’re welcome

[@kathysaleeba3397]

Thanks Ceri! Good suggestions for using ephemera in different ways. Good reminder. Hope your printer gets squared away quickly.

[@CeriGriffiths]

So do I. Thank you

[@belindasmith3881]

Sorry about your printer. However, you were able to print some digital. Excellent job, well done using what you have.❤

[@stacyscraftyjam6788]

So thrilled to meet me! You are amazing! Mind blown on so many things! Making an envelope using a tag is brilliant! Your tips on scoring is genius too! I hit the bell cuz I never want to miss your inspiration! Sorry bout your printer ugh! I know how you feel with tech stuff such a struggle for me as well. Sending positive vibes your way hoping you get that worked out. Cuz we need your crafty knowledge & inspiration!!!!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

Nice job, Ceri. I've recently moved & can't yet do anything. Watching you create is so therapeutic. Sorts of scratches where it itches sort of thing. Thank you for sharing your creativity, love your verbal sharing, as well.

[@CeriGriffiths]

My pleasure

[@lafrancemeyers7728]

Good information 😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@jacquelinefounds7217]

Fab video Ceri. I really enjoyed. Lots of food for thought, I am not to far from you either. From Mumbles Swansea. 🥰🥰🥰

[@CeriGriffiths]

Oh not far at all, beautiful part of Wales.

[@lisastevens2607]

Your envelopes are awesome. I sometimes forget to take advantage of them as ephemera pieces. Thanks for reminding me to use them. I hope you get your printer sorted out. You’re not the only one that gets thrown off when things like that happen. 🙋🏻‍♀️ 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ Many blessings ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Lisa.

[@annelarsson6152]

Thank you so much for sharing this collab video Ceri. I like so much how you share your thought process and how you define the different styles. I’m myself somewhat a ”coward” when it comes to Steampunk, maybe most because it’s far from my style. ☺️ So maybe I really should challenge myself. Have a relaxing sunday afternoon and evening. It’s gloomy and rainy here in Sweden today after days of sun, clear blue skies and warmer temperatures.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Anne, fingers crossed tomorrow will be a lovely sunny day for us all.

[@berrymixjournals]

Oh no, I hope your printer is working again. Love the tag turned into envelopes!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

[@gracebecreations]

GREAT job Ceri ... I did my collab the day before you and I was sooooo nervous doing this project hoping I would do it justice . . . . you did a great job, love what you did! you did the same as me, botanical and vintage. I wanted to step WAYYYY out of my wheelhouse and do steampunk but I didn't even know where to begin as I have never gone steampunk!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you I’m playing catch up on the other videos, life just gets in the way.

[@Jaelri]

Thanks

[@CeriGriffiths]

Janet thank you so much, that will go to my glue stick fund….I go through so many glue sticks.

[@hollylapinski3328]

I really enjoyed how you took identical pre-designed envelopes and created both styles of JJ ephemera at the same time. Even though, your video was long, I wouldn't mind seeing you continue this method. 💜☺️ BTW, I hope you get your printer figured out. I kind of went through that myself and now Etsy doesn't recognize me so I can't download any of the newer digitals I purchased. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you, that’s annoying about the downloads

[@hollylapinski3328]

@@CeriGriffiths I will figure it out eventually. I just don't have time right now. I'd rather be watching JJ crafting videos 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@judyharmon4586]

I know exactly what you're saying about "instinct"... it's when you try different pieces and then, all of a sudden, you know it's right (in your heart, your eye, your head, whatever) !

[@carolynchatham6376]

You continue to inspire me to try new or forgotten techniques

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fabulous.

[@brookerohleder6769]

This video was so entertaining and informative. Thank you for participating in this challenge.❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

My pleasure, thank you

[@LauraMe...]

Beautiful Ceri! The one you struggled with, I think your first piece was too bright and plain. Easy to see from this side of the camera. But you fixed it. It's good for us to see you have that spot of trouble and see your audition process as you complete the piece! Take care my friend! ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Just trying to keep it real Laura, to many people edit out the struggles and I feel this gives the viewer a false impression of the process.

[@angelikameurer2005]

Thanx so much for your lovely lovely video 😍 I wonder where you got your very practical ephemera storage boxes from, they seem to have just the right size 😄 LoL Angelika

[@CeriGriffiths]

I tend to repurpose or make my own boxes

[@hellehyldgaard8793]

Marvelous envelopes ❤❤ in Denmark where I live they’re called “kuvert” or “konvolut” 😃

[@CeriGriffiths]

Interesting, thank you.

[@gldominick8854]

Thanks. I didn't know how to make envelopes.
