[@dianereger4189]

I loved it

[@miarenee6703]

I love this creation and your enthusiasm is contagious ❤ I cannot wait to try this myself ❤

[@samaritaDeath]

Great and easy book. For the next cover, if you are using thick good quality paper, wet the areas where you will crease it with water, then crease, this will reduce the cracking of the paper.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

CraftySamarita what a fabulous tip. Thank you so much ♡

[@PMJ4EVERR]

You are brilliant. Who would have known to fold envelopes that way. I am amazed.

[@QueenVic67]

Again just like the little books from one piece of paper, you have refreshed my memory on how to make this too, as I had forgotten about them, so thank you so much Marta!! I actually preferred you doing the cover, 'off the cuff' unrehearsed, because I enjoyed watching your thought process, this is how I do some of my videos, so people can see that we are all the same and even experts/designers/teachers have the same thought processes as someone only doing this for the first time! Thank you I could watch you all day, I love your accent & sweet voice! Hugs from England, Vick xxx

[@athanasiatzakostas9903]

They are so beautiful great work. I love all your work. Thank you for sharing.

[@EugeniaRedmond]

I cannot get enough of how organic your videos are! By organic I mean that you don't make things and then recreate them for a video, you actually give us a part of you by letting us watch you do things for the first time! I absolutely LOVE that! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Eugenia Redmond aww thank you so so much for your comment. ♡♡♡♡♡♡ I am glad you feel that way ! xx

[@auntbubbels12155]

You are killing me on how easy you did this. I have watched lots of videos and tried making an album out of envelopes but adding the glue and tape to each envelope was a total disaster and it never came out even. Thank you so much

[@smedina146]

janet carlo exactly!! she makes it look so easy! :)

[@paulabrennan2607]

janet carlo to help them be straight did you use an even number envelope? Here she uses 6x6, so all side even. Hope this may helpb

[@auntbubbels12155]

I have tried other tutorials and they just never worked. I haven't tried Marta's yet.

[@jenniferhill3966]

I was going through random videos and found this. I love crafting but my real passion is scrapbooking and journaling. As soon as I starting watching the video, I grabbed some envelopes and made a journal along with you. Thank you so much for posting this and your journal is beautiful!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Jennifer Hill yeah that is fantastic! !!!!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡

[@juliasatterwhite9835]

Jennifer Hill it would be nice to see yours tio. just sayin.

[@Hollybeanberry]

I did the same! Ran to get my box of envelopes and made one along with the video, such a genius idea thanks Marta!

[@rebeccagoldthorpe6606]

WOW! What a terrific idea. Such an easy to follow demonstration too, Marta. I am thoroughly enjoying your videos.

[@lilly3am]

Your excitement over this project made my whole day. It's a great feeling when a project works out, isn't it? LOL. LOVE the journal and the simplicity of it. TFS!

[@Canadian693]

Even though the paper did not bend perfectly, I think that now you have a distressed look. Looks great!

[@debra_marie_creates4380]

This was amazing! Really liked the whole process; changing your mind, pressing on, the sharing of your thoughts, and the fact that you were really happy that you were able to accomplish it. Hugs, Debra

[@phoenix6738]

I just love how you come on here and do things that you did not plan to do even if it is your first time and how excited you get when things work out.

[@pandamants]

This is such a creative idea! And I wouldn't worry about the rough edges where you folded the scrapbook paper over the cover. It just adds to the vintage/distressed look that the paper already has!

[@joeyhiraldo4626]

This is 2 years later but maybe someone will read it = I think Marta should have used her bone folder (scoring tool) over the folded over edges and it would have smoothed them out. Just an idea.

[@sweetscraps56]

I really love how you put the envelopes together. your enthusiasm is contagious. so fun to watch you. You are so cute.

[@doloresjohnson9571]

Perfectly imperfect! I searched all morning for this envelope journal video and I not one bit disappointed! I will be making one too! I love it! Thanks!

[@alsoarty1]

Now I know what to do with the 200+ envelopes I have! (Gifted to me from a person who did wedding invites)

[@Angel-lk1ir]

I love how genuinely surprised you were that it works and how happy you were with what you e made. I love this project it’s super fun. Defiantly want to try this!

[@amypool7717]

I love it!! I love how pleased you are as well! That's exactly how I would feel. You make it look so easy. The best part is how perfectly imperfect you assembled it. Sometimes it's the imperfections or mistakes that make a project more lovable. I struggle with being a perfectionist and that's where crafting helps me learn to just create and enjoy the process. I can't wait to try this!!

[@fishngnana68]

I love this ..you are so talented. I like the way u are not so precise and not afraid to go out side the box

[@gifthorse9779]

I love this! So simple and no ugly chunky. Classy

[@amywoolsey6591]

Totally LOVE it! Great job. I really enjoyed watching your thinking process as you figured things out. PERFECT!

[@simonegoulbourne9697]

OMG Marta.. it's way cool. I absolutely admire your innovativeness and as always I love watching your videos. I just can't stop lol. thanks Marta for been so creative.

[@ruthkoster2741]

Thank you for teaching this today!! I very much enjoy watching your videos and you are very sweet.

[@aliceadler4569]

Bravo! Love it! Great fantastic idea! You should be in love with this!!!! Love it!

[@craftygirlpurple626]

It turn out amazing beautiful I love it I had fun watching you make this thank you so much for sharing this video thank you have a bless day love and creative colorful hugs to you

[@navyboymommygramma]

2nd time watching this, still loving it. Haha. The whole idea of making a journal from envelopes is so brilliant, it really is. It opens up so many possibilities, recycled envelopes, dollar store , handmade, all white, different colors, different papers, recycled papers AND handmade, etc. And the you get to decorate... or not. You could make up a bunch real fast, plain white would be best, and have class rooms decorate them and hand them out at senior centers or have the kiddos mail them off to elderly family members. So many fun things to do in this life how can anyone be bored? Love and hugs for all on this beautiful day ☺

[@chrisharrison5974]

Fantastic! I love that you had no plan and yet it worked out so well. Your videos are really wonderful, you are a natural and have such a lovely way of explaining everything. It's like sitting and crafting with a friend......your voice and accent are so pleasant to listen to xx

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Chris Harrison thank yo 💚🌸❤💜🌸💜💛

[@jessi4052]

Absolutely amazing!! Wow! I can't believe you just did that!! I'm impressed!! Gotta try that.

[@wulfcwen]

I love this. The imperfection is what makes perfect. I can use what I have and make a book that will be unique. Thank you for posting this.

[@sheilagilleland4312]

I’m about to do my first envelope journal, and I came across this video. It’s the perfect tutorial on how to make the journal and the cover. ❤️🙌🏻

[@judygilbank3393]

Hi from Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada - our city of an hour east of Vancouver. Hope this finds you and your family staying sae and healthy during this very difficult time! I just came across your website and am really enjoying your tutorials. I really enjoy doing mini albums and envelope flip books / journals. Thank you so much for sharing !

[@SonshineLady7]

Brilliant using envelopes. For journals I'm going to use I don't want a lot of stuff already added to it; I'm a writing journaler who enjoys writing whatever is in my mind for the day and perhaps adding personal photos, clippings, etc. The envelopes provide plenty of room for both!!

[@cherylbaker473]

I am so glad I found your videos. You create masterpieces as I do. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

🧡 💛 💚 💙 thank you for your kind words!

[@4alicekg]

Your videos are always so wholesome and heartwarming to watch 💕💕 It's like I can feel your positive energy through my phone screen while watching. And I felt so happy watching you make your first journal cover (which came out amazing, no surprise there because you're so talented in your craft!!) Much, MUCH love to you as always and thank you for this wonderful video 💞

[@meredithcaven436]

absolutely love this! you always are showing ideas for people to be able to have great things on a budget, thank you so much for that!

[@catyeah8592]

I wish I could give you two thumbs up for this one, Marta! It was wonderful. Hugs, cat

[@leandavm8626]

Such a good idea and loved watching you thinking it through as you worked. Thank you

[@nancyorourke7679]

Love this video..Thank you.. Easy enough for all to try, especially with grandchildren..

[@ehpeachylove]

Such a good idea and great video for using up spare envelopes and use of other stuff to make your book

[@angelakilroy689]

Beautiful envelope journal I love it!!! And soon it will be full of gorgeousness ❣️Thankyou xo

[@GWest5068]

what clever idea....great job....thank you so much for sharing this with us....

[@jacintasimpson1719]

I love the way you talk through your videos. So enjoyable.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

awww 💜💜💜 Thank you so much ! I am delighted you liked it 💙❤️💙❤️💙 I would be honored if you would like to check my newest, today's Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/op-yoICZodyFg7M It's really unique! 😘 Have a lovely day! Marta xx

[@elenalaskari4739]

Dear sweet Martha, I love your first journal, the cover is so beautiful & the idea of using envelopes for the pages is really great! You don't really have to have a big paper to cover all the cover, you can do it with two pieces (one for the front & one for the back cover) and use a third for the spine, just a bit wider from the spine to cover a little bit the front & back pieces. The problem with the broken edges of the paper at the points where it folds has happened to me too. In order to hide it and protect the paper, I have put a layer of gel medium on it. Another idea is to distress all the edges and color it with your favorite distress color. Thank you for your lovely & inspiring videos! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@brendak4011]

It is beautiful and encourages me to try. I love the way you talk through even the "mistakes" which turn out so nicely in the end anyway !Doing it "for the first time" on video encourages us who have wanted to do this but not worked up the courage to try for fear of ruining the project. Thank you!

[@joannbrewer8314]

Like that it is a budget journal, and it looks great

[@DSmith-pc9jn]

Best envelope tutorial ever. This plan is great. I am trying it.

[@martiemoore9266]

I'm so in love with your idea. I wish I can give it a million likes. Martie from Cape Town, South Africa

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much 😊. I really love 💕 this!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s so awesome and stunning and the imperfections make it so awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. I’m never ever disappointed with you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@karenperkins6744]

Thank you so much for this fabulous tutorial! I adore the fact that you leave in all your "mistakes" which are not really, but trial and error! You make it so much more personal ... a one to one discussion almost! I also adore your accent, which I have been trying to guess where you are from, but every now and then, there seems to be a trace of Irish accent .... lol! I have a similar thing with me, people keep trying to guess where I am from, as I seem to have so many different accents going on from all the places I have lived! I too, could listen to you all day, I love how you put things across! Thank you so much! xx

[@KirstenHolahan]

Hi Marta , I love your accent ,and could watch and listen to you all day... Love your first made journal.. I can't wait to see what you Create inside! !! much love, Kirsten

[@lisebedard7247]

Love this idea so much.....great job.

[@alicedantes2409]

[@MsSuperklutz]

OMG I LOVE>>>>>LOVE!!!!!!!!! I can actually see myself doing this. I TRULY ADORE YOU and the way you create.....LOVE your excitement over what you created and I so shared in your excitement I was clapping and actually doing my happy dance and cheering out loud. Your video was Outstanding and your Mini Envelope Album is Spectacular. Love your Tutorial it was Outstanding....Thanks for keeping it totally real.....and it was absolutely Exciting that you created something you'd never done before right before our eyes.....I love the way you so called eyeball it....used your scissors....and truly used nothing besides your doublesided tape, glue/glue gun and paper & your hands...and truly you created a Fabulous Envelope Mini. OMG!!! Wishing you a Tremendously Terrific Tuesday....you video sure gave this type of day to me. GIRL YOU SO ROCK!!!! Joan Smith

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Dear Joan :) Thank you so so much for your sweet comment. I am super happy you enjoyed it ! Love, Marta xx

Since watching this video a long time ago I started saving the return envelopes that come in the mail and used them to make a junk journal for what ever. Love reusing things. I also make my covers using a Cheezit Box that I paint. Fun! Fun! Thanks for sharing this cool idea! :0)
