Craft with Me - Rachel Inspired Book Envelopes

[@rfranksensey]

Gayle you are amazing! I adore these and can’t wait to make some without stitching that is ! I don’t understand dislikes in this community! If you don’t like it don’t watch it! Some people are just jealous of talent! You get KZbin credit anyway! Ignore those basement people and listen to the positive choir in your balcony!

[@77sparkles77]

Hi Gayle! And thanks so much for featuring my Vintage Music Digitals! They look awesome printed on your coffee stained paper. :) They say that timing is everything, and the posting of your video just happened to coincide with a previously planned family trip to take our mom on a journey 'down memory lane'. Since I also have physical products, I needed to put my store on vacation mode. And, of course that meant frustrated people when they clicked on my store link you provided. So, as a token of appreciation I wanted your followers to know that I have uploaded bonus files, (digi-tags, I call them) which now become part of their purchase of the Vintage Music files. There are now 5 files. Thanks again, and happy crafting! Cheers, Liz from ervDesigns

[@cmjacobs57]

I love watching you make your projects. I go back over and over just to remember everything you did. So many ideas crop up in my head and not enough time to make them all.

[@DeniseBrooks1955]

This video is chock-full of information, especially for us newbies. TY Gayle 💓

[@laurie7604]

Oh Gayle! You always make me giggle! Hope your retreat was amazing!

[@nancykirk8913]

LOL, Cutie Pie Gayle, you just tickle me pink!!! I tell you, if any one is depressed.....just come watch Gayle, crafter or not, and you'll soon feel your spirits lifting I am sure!!!! I am so pleased that we are always included in your crafting projects....however, after it's over and I have patted myself on the back for a job well done....I soon realize, that, ummm, you did all the work, and I just got to enjoy every minute of it!!!!! I actually didn't do a darn thing!! Bwahahaha!!!!! Hugs honey pie!! Oh, and lol, I used 'pooched' all the time. Just the right verb quite often!!!

[@tuthillg]

Fun crafting with you and watching this envelope process. TFS, Gayle!

[@randomjournalbitsdawnboss]

Great grubbiness! Super envelope, can’t wait for the next one.

[@helenascott389]

The gesso Queen as well !! Super cool book envelope. Love it. TFS 😻x

[@maraca5797]

Very pretty, and just using stuff we all have! TFS😊

[@michelledekker7654]

YOU ARE AN ENABLER!! I may need to come out of retirement to keep buying all these cool things! Here's the sad part, I have ephemera coming out of my ears BUT still haven't completed my 1st journal lol! It's hysterical but I'm having a blast. Everytime I watch someone make a cool piece of ephemera I run and make it. So thanks for all the cool ideas. My first JJ may be the size of an old encyclopedia dictionaries we use to use in school!!!

[@lindaclausen5477]

Michelle Dekker..hahaha me too I’ve been collecting as I watch all the videos lol..still haven’t gotten my 1st JJ done yet too !! Lol

[@patriciarider5698]

Wow Michelle that is amazing! I am working on my third project an altered book and find I cant really do any ephemera until I get some scraps and bits....then I end up with extra things for future proects.

[@nadianardini7513]

Loving these Gayle. TFS. xxx

[@lindaforrer2659]

It’s fun watching you have so much fun!

[@GGScraps]

ERV designs are closed. Guess I'll copy my music pages onto coffee dyed paper to see if I can get a similar effect. Love your channel and your energy. I check your channel everyday because I so enjoy your voice, your chatter, your laugh, and your kind heart. Hugs.

[@cheryl2455]

Really like your Patricia/Rachel envelopes. I make them too! Yes I have really enjoyed Rachel’s 100 days! The hour went by fast. Good looking envelope. Missed you while I was on vacation! Love hearing & seeing you craft! Thanks for sharing?

[@junegarcia6900]

Thanks for the videos you are so thoughtful. 😍🤗

[@emilyburbage8571]

Omg Gayle I just got back from a 4 day retreat here at Lancaster Ohio. She calls her place Maple Brook memories. I love retreats but I sure did not go to bed at 10 pm we sat up till 3 and 4 o’clock and back at the craft table at 7 am had to come home to get some rest. My husbands mom passed away on my last day there so no rest for me for 3 days. I was in bed. It is 12:05am here and watched you make the envelope and tag with your envelope punch board and had to get up and make some too I just love your inspiration. Keep it coming.

[@Shadypeanutlane]

It was really interesting to see how you took this piece through the years... and evidently a lot of wear and tear. I think you can use those pages you fold in half after you glue for this kind of pocket... Thanks. I know you are having fun at your retreat, and I cannot imagine how much you will have to show!

[@lalagamma4452]

Love that pocket!!!! ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚

[@MiadeFleur]

IT IS BEAUTIFUL! LOVE YOUR WAY OF FILMING, WE CAN EASY FOLLOW YOU.

[@angiechapman9816]

I'm glad you heard me shout 'put the fern leaf upside down'. Absolutely beautiful them envelopes are. Hope your retreat went well. Look forward to watching your video of it x

[@KateriBurnett]

Hi Gayle, loved how this one turned out.

[@weaver7249]

Gayle, this was worth the hour - I love this one. I learned a lot. Thank You!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks, Dana! Here’s hoping all my videos are “worth the hour”! Haha! ❤️

[@weaver7249]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct They always are!!!

[@michelledekker7654]

I was killing time waiting at the doctors office today so I went on Patricia's channel and binged watched her old videos. Wow, so many cool ideas for book pages.

[@tashilongthorp2295]

Love the grunge pocket!

[@jeanmurdock2926]

Love your envelopes.

[@loopysue422]

These are so pretty. I have lots of scraps left over from the quilt I am making so must have a go at making some. Thank you x

[@theresa_lili]

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. I am thinking after watching only 2. I am going to be binge watching.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw, thank you so much! I’m glad you’re here watching my videos!! Welcome!! 😘❤️

[@michelebrown6374]

I'm curios to know what all you take on your retreats!! When we go to crops, we literally look like the Beverly Hillbillies pulling up to the hotel! The valet looks at us like we are crazy 😳😬😂!! I've tried and tried to narrow it down and bring just a project or two but end up bringing so much more...most of it I won't touch the whole weekend!! I'd love to hear your advice!! And by the way, I just love you and your channel! You always make me smile and giggle! You are a great inspiration! I've just started junk journaling after 20 years of scrappin and can't get enough!! Hugs from Mississippi!!

[@MarjorieSnyder]

I need to get my book pages out this looks like such fun

[@veronicawhite398]

I made these a little while ago after seeing you, R. Creations and Patricia V. videos. A lot of fun, too. And, I finally started sewing my pieces. After avoiding it out of fear and a relatively new sewing machine, I bit the bullet and got stuck in and I agree, it really does add a whole new dimension to the final look. But, I think I'll do it your way, Gayle, and sew first instead of last; a lot easier. Loved the way your pocket turned out and I'm interested to give Gesso a try.

[@vickirn613]

omg i soooo loving your vids and this one especially, i love the book pages!

[@conneeboulmay3431]

Oldie but goodies!

[@mypaperjourney]

Hi Gayle! I have the same Antique cut scissors from Creative Memories. It's my favorite out of 30 some scissors I happen to own. I have a few questions for you. When in the world do you find the time to watch other KZbin videos? You're always crafting and making videos. Lol!!! Do you sleep at all? How much coffee do you drink per day??? Ok, back to your collage envelopes. I too been watching all of Rachel's 100 Days Challenge videos. I love how she collages everything. Love your envelopes too. You've made Rachel proud. Thank you for sharing. GOD Bless you

[@timgepner8373]

Another great tip! Using the pin to fray the fabric. Again why am I not thinking of that. I don’t know but I am so glad to be your subbie so I get the idea! Love the beautiful grunginess! Freida

[@paulaniles6457]

Just crafting 1 hour is heaven especially in summertime when you have a dog that wants in, out, in, out all day long and craft room is upstairs and you have R.A. .....have fun on your retreat!!

[@marthamanigross]

I love that you made videos so we wouldn’t miss you while you’re gone, but I can’t wait for you to be back and start posting videos about the retreat, showing us what you did there, etc. We are all living vicariously through you!!!!!

[@miloquinn2867]

i guess Im pretty off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new series online?

[@nicholasgerardo2042]

@Milo Quinn flixportal :D

[@gretchenkleer9252]

I can't believe you got a thumbs down! Seriously? that's just mean spirited, your videos are ALWAYS a good time! I'm sticking my tongue out at who ever did it!

[@patriciarider5698]

gretchen kleer I think YT automatically gives thumbs down to be honest. I have seen some channels get more thumbs down to vids right after they post than they have had views! All part of their AI learning algorithms....did anyone hear about Project Veritas' undercover video last week before it was taken down?

[@theramblincrafter]

Beautiful Gayle! Big hugs~Chelle

[@tworighttoesartstudio9569]

Oh, be still my grungy heart! I went straight to my studio to make a grungy envelope! I am in love!

[@Lore-kg7ws]

Beautiful!!! Gayle Hugs & Kisses : )

[@lorigoodman3780]

I thank you and Rachel for helping me use up my book pages, but I am a little up set with you ladies. :) You are making me want to learn how to sew!! Something I said I'd never do. lol The sewing just makes these book envelopes pop!! I glued mine, but they look unfinished to me....

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Lori Goodman I got a sewing stamp from Aliexpress so you can do fake sewing. I haven’t used it yet so I don’t know how it looks.

[@delgadojmar]

The gesso envelope is so cool...Janet

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Went to try to order that music paper and her site is currently on a break. Remind me and everyone too check again next time you use it. Haha. Yes. I think you need more to keep track of. Lol. Love ya. Hope your having a great time on your retreat

[@cynthiamostacato7894]

Hi Gayle, behind on watching my favorite video people!!!! This was good and the table jiggling from the machine didn’t bother me at all. Loved watching you make the book paper envelopes and doing the grungy one, that was cool!!!....cyndi m.

[@annettedepete4314]

I can never have enough of pockets and envelopes! Thanks for sharing😍🌴

[@tfntexas]

You cracked me up “pooching it to the outside” 😁 Great video!

[@gailstubbings8606]

Hi Gayle, sorry i haven't been watching your videos for a while ive been major catching up and now even more so lol. You've done fab at a grungy envelope i am continuing onto the next take care. Xx,

[@inthepeppershackwithamy2631]

These are so awesome! Can't wait for a day to craft. Momma (my momma) had a trauma on 14th and was in NTICU for 4 days then finally was able to move her to rehab on 21st. Long recovering but she will remain in nursing home. Once this all gets settle and my grandbabies go home. ..I am taking a day for me to craft. That being said I am so envious of your getaway. I would love to find some ladies around here or even close to me to do this.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

So sorry! Hope your mom recovers well. ❤️

[@inthepeppershackwithamy2631]

Thank you! She is starting to I hope the ct scan today doesn't confirm the new drs fears of a blood clot

[@TheJournalCottage]

Loved this video. As usual my best tutorials !!! Love all the digi kits you got in happy mail thanks for sharing. Have a delightful weekend at your retreat 💕

[@StitchesbySharonH]

This is such a fun envelope! At first I wasn’t sure where you were going with the “dark and grungey” but it all made sense when you pulled out the gesso!! Thank you for sharing! 💜

[@jbeaudi]

I love the book page pocket! The gesso made it look really nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@LadyLeda2]

Very grungy yummy Gayle!!!

[@Jenny-W1910]

love this grungy envelope gayle! it looks like worn leather, like an Indiana Jones piece of ephemera!! when you said you thought the coffee dyed paper was from Emiliy's shop because it smells so yummy i thought, yep! her's is a one of a kind-love it so much! hope your having a crafting extravaganza at the retreat and accomplishing a bunch! hugs 💕 ps-love the tip of using a pin to fray fabric edges 👍

[@creativemomentswithdurinda]

Lol..youre so funny..the tic toc thingy is a metronome😉😀 It helps musicians keep the correct tempo as they play..music lesson over..back to watching the video😁😁😁

[@cindymatthewsarrowdalearts6449]

Fun stuff! I need some aged books - I don't have book paper!! :)

[@theresa_lili]

I have a ton of old encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc. Check resale stores. Check clearance at them. Any black and white print can be aged by coffee dying.

[@34auntie]

Love your videos. Was disappointed erv designs was closed. Was looking forward to some music papers for some card projects I wanted to try.

[@patriciarider5698]

MIchelle Schroeder check out digital paper shop .com.

[@BlaizC]

erv designs is taking a break! They must have gotten tons of orders after this video. I loved these envelopes!

[@34auntie]

Wondering how the envelope project would work with just glue. I really need to get a sewing machine for paper crafting.

[@patriciarider5698]

MIchelle Schroeder Gosh I wish you were in my neck of the woods....I just discovered THREE perfectly fine older model Singers MORE than the two I already knew I had! You would be welcome to it...but they are heavy and would cost far too much to ship im afraid

[@debk1915]

Me too! And this week michaels and Joann’s had machines for about $100...was so tempted...I didn’t act on it though as I know nothing about sewing machines🤣 and I am still looking at 6+ weeks in this cast on my left hand/wrist 😏

[@patriciarider5698]

Deb K Bless your heart! But you need to add at least another 6 weeks or so after cast comes off to restore full range of motion after so long being immobile..I hope you aren't left handed! Hugs to you!

[@debk1915]

Patricia Rider , thank you. Nope, right handed. 😉. But my right hand is next after this one heals up...😳. I think I’m going to have to wait awhile for that surgery and practice being functional with my left hand🤣 they warned me of the slow healing and physical therapy involved. I’m just hoping for pain-free and looking forward to getting back to crafting!😉❤️. In the meantime, Gayle is teaching me lots of cool things!

[@patriciarider5698]

Deb K Bless your heart double time! Prayers and hugs for you! Having had two major fractures to my right arm years apart I can tell you that you dont realize how many simple things you do that are extremely hard to do with your non dominant hand. Eating. Brushing your teeth. Tying your shoes or zipping your pants. Extra vit C and extra protein (unless you have kidney issues) REALLY help with the healing process. I saw it during my nursing career and it really really helps. If you have diabetes keep your blood sugar in check by close monitoring and check with diabetes dr about possible sliding scale. But really sewing machines are very simple to use. I know little about newer models but if anything they are even more user friendly. No need to be intimidated! I feel sure there are all kinds of YT videos out there on any model you buy. Blessings! God bless!

[@lynnecoleman1135]

i made a bunch . so fun

[@barbarahancock2385]

Where do you get all your ephemera, stamps, etc?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I shop primarily on Etsy as I like to support other artists and small business people. You can search just about anything craft related and find lots of great sellers! ❤️

[@cherrireeley7382]

Hoping You have a wonderful time at your retreat! I am curious about coffee dyed papers and value your opinion, I have recently read quite a few posts about how the acid in the coffee dyed process lingers and ladies are finding that where they have written in their junk journals on coffee dyed papers the ink is distorted, has ran and in some cases is fading away. Now I am concerned about continuing using coffee dyed paper/pages and am wondering if you have any information on this. Thanks, Gayle, love watching your channel and so very much enjoy your "Craft with Me" videos - so very inspiring!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Probably the pen. I’ve never had any trouble. ❤️

[@1jmass]

I am pretty sure Rachel said that straw paper is used to absorb grease when things are fried. It probably has other uses, too. Other than in journal making, that is!

[@barbaranoble9748]

What size needle do you use when sewing paper. I didnt know that you could do that.

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

I went to the shop ervDesigns but sadly they are closed right now... I really needed some music papers.

[@jequetteavanscyoc6884]

I.ove .love this look!!!!!! It's a softer .look also. You tickle me to out of my seat.. I have left several messages while you were gone. And I''m still on a beng from watching you. Yep no sl.eep in 7 days lmbo.

[@d.d.farago8377]

I have a question. You mentioned awhile back about using foil to sharpen your corner punch, do you think that would work on decorative scissors?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I bet it would! ❤️

[@nancybeebe7622]

GAYLE IS MATT PHOTO PAPER LIKE ACTUAL PAPER FOR PHOTOS? I KNOW ITS A STUPID QUESTION BUT I DON'T KNOW

Frugal crafter Lyndsay has recipes for making your own gesso, as do many other KZbinrs. Easy to make and saves money

[@inthepeppershackwithamy2631]

Small amount of channeling LorrieMarie.. lol I was watching her today also and tried finding black gesso but have to wait for Amazon to come thru again.

[@theresa_lili]

Search KZbin. DIY make your own gesso.
