Doubled Ended Envelope Tutorial

[@elkeartsandcrafts]

Hi Tracie, it's easy when you know how LOL! I grew up with the imperial system here in the UK and had to learn metric. To confuse matters more, I lived in California for 20 years and was a patchwork and quilting tutor. I came home in 1999 and struggled with the metric system again (even though I passed my maths GCE 'A' level course in the 1970's) I now manage to juggle between the two when necessary. Thanks for all your lovely tutorials and for sharing so much info, Elaine

[@ClareCreationsAL]

I was an Algebra, Biology, and Human Anatomy teacher for our high school for years until I became disabled by MS. American students have difficulty with our measurement system, too!! But what's worse, is the simple base 10 of the metric system is even more boggling to them! I never understood why it seemed so daunting! I'll also never understand why America never went to the metric system in the 70s when it came up for referendum!! You explained it quite well. I love when there is an envelope in the center of a signature, and this double envelope is such a surprise! What a BRILLIANT idea!! Thank you so much for sharing! You are so inspiring with your ideas and your tutorials are excellent! Don't be so critical of yourself, you show us a REAL crafter! I'd lots rather have your explanation than a "perfect" presentation!! Thanks again!!!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

LOL, there is never going to be a perfect presentation with me!!! I cannot believe I had made one not 10 minutes before and I forgot I cut the middle in a square! Glad you like the ideas, its nice now to have some time to try them out. xxx

To answer the comment about why America didn't go metric in the 70's. It was expensive. It would have required all the tooling in all of the industries be re-manufactured and it was fought by many businesses. My Dad was an Automotive Mechanical Engineer and all three of the big car manufacturers resisted and there was more resistance from more industries who used tool and die resources.

These are so cute! I can imagine all sorts of uses for them. In future videos please try to mark where to keep your hands so the viewer can see your beautiful creations within the frame. I can't wait to try these double sided envelopes. What a great idea! Thank you so much for making this video. Sorry you had so much trouble making the video but I'm glad you persevered. These are beautiful!

[@cherylrymer6782]

Stunning idea Tracie! Thanks for such a thorough video explanation. Am definitely going to try this in a journal soon. Loved the tiny cardbook too.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you Cheryl xx

[@Erintube360]

You explaining it and showing it helped me so much~ Thank you! I love your idea and do not have an envelope Punch Board. Keep the lovely Tutorials flowing as your ideas pop in and as you have time for... (no pressure)!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

No presure, lol. Thank you Erin, glad you enjoyed it xx

[@betsymcgovern4204]

That was a great video. I could listen to you all day. Your voice is soothing. That’s for all of your knowledge.

[@kessell637]

Thank you! That was a lot more complicated than I thought it would be at first glance! You explained it very well. And you’re right; metric measures are far more practical than our system in the States.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

LOL, I just thing anything divided by 10 has got to be easier! And I am PANTS at math. Thanks for watching, once you get the templates, they are easy to make I promise. Its just draw round and cut out :-D xxx

[@heathergeen6385]

Hello Tracie ~interesting to watch …great idea thanks 🎶

[@dorothykovak4900]

Your double sided envelope is such a great idea! This will be a useful addition to a journal. Thanks for working it all out and for sharing. Your explanation was clear. I will definitely try making this.

[@marymcmullen6902]

Whew! Nice job with the conversion to inches! When I was in grade school a million years ago they tried to teach us all the metric system but it never took. Seems like it would be so much easier! Love the envelope.....thank you for sharing.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you Mary. Having to learn what I needed was difficult and I have no intensions of using it again LOL xx

[@CristyMarieMiller]

Math! My word this is so complicated, I’ve been trying to figure how to make a double envelope and here you have it all figured out! Thank you!!!

Hi Tracie! This is brilliant! I'll be trying this out, for sure. Thank you for sharing! And thank god for the metric system... :) (on a side note; today I was reminded of your comment in your last video on 'useless punch tools'. I think I broke some kind of a record in that particular branch today when I made one of those tags. I'd be happy to share the gold medal for useless tools with you (lol). My god, the struggle... ) Take care! xx

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Gitte, this made me belly laugh! Joint gold is fine with me! After all the comments I will be getting a Crop -O-Dile for sure. Thank you for watching and I am glad you found it useful :-D xx

You're a genius, girl!! I have make one for my next journal. Appreciate you sharing it with us. Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Ah thank you Faydra but I would not go as far as to call me a genius. A procrastinator maybe as I was working on another project lol xx

[@FaydraJones]

Tracie Fox LoveJunk Journals sometimes procrastinating is a beautiful thing, right? LOL when i work on other things first, some may call it procrastination - creative playing - 😁 it frequently helps me focus & be more creative...then, the new project is easier and/or turns out better than I expected. 😊 i am so, so glad you procrastinated!! 😉💖

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Hehehe, thanks you Faydra, knowing that it was useful procrastination makes it all the more worth while :-D

[@FaydraJones]

Tracie Fox LoveJunk Journals 🤣 💖💖💖 😎

[@hummingbirdtales2747]

Bless you Tracie!!!!! I think you were amazing in working out how to do this!!!!, I have been wondering for ages and a good friend taught me to make a hinge for two envelopes to be connected together. But this is a fabulous idea !!!!!!, my husband has bought me an envelope punch board for my birthday and I haven’t opened it yet, but after watching your video, I will stop being scared and open it !!!! Tracie you always have fabulous ideas and make it so easy to understand!!!!, Thankyou , thankyou lovely lady for sharing this !!!!! Bless you 😊❤️x

[@katpaints]

I love this idea - I don't want to close the tag until I make one! LOL! This metric vs imperial thing is frustrating until you realize that so many things are already metric! I got my first Brother sewing machine when I was 19 (1965)... and, for the life of me, I could NOT figure out what the stitch length numbers meant! Seriously - NOTHING in that machine's info - or my next one - specifically explained it. I grew up with a White sewing machine and used Singers at school - they were all x stitches per inch - which is a pretty strange way of thinking now. Finally, in the 90's I bought my first Pfaff and something clicked - they use the metric system! I think I actually measured the stitches and viola!!! Sigh. I flip back and forth when measuring, depending on which comes closer to what I'm measuring. And, 99% of my tools are in inches. I learned that a meter is almost 39 1/2 inches when I was working in a fabric store and a lot of eastern Europeans would come in and wanted to buy fabric by the meter. I didn't have time to figure it out, but I did let them know how to do it themselves! I figured that living here, they will be buying fabric by the yard for years to come and they needed to learn how to adjust. ;) We always feel a bit more empowered when we understand how to do things in a new way! That's why I love KZbin - and people like you, Tracie! So much fun to learn new things!

[@maggiequilts]

Love this idea! Cant wait to try it. Thank you ❤️💋🥰💋🇨🇦❤️

[@SammiJarrad]

Absolutely amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to use this. 😁👍🏻💜📚

[@dragonflyer59]

thanks for this tutorial... gives me something else fantastic to consider to include in a jj...

[@Muthrtung]

very cool Tracie! lol i just commented on your pocket tutorial vid, about imperial measurements doing my head in, too. yep, i'm often googling for conversion help :-)

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh Liana, I just can't do it LOL. Thank you so much for watching xxx

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Ah thank you my sweet friend. The 7/8th thing had me stumped but I was only an inch out! hehehe. xxx

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

I SO appreciate you doing this in inches! Sandy

[@chrisazz282]

that's great, thanks Tracie.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you Chris x

[@alilbitshabbyjubri6942]

Tracie, I don't know how to work w/cm but I do know inches; so I did one with paper that was 9" 1/2 X 9" 1/2 's and scored it at 4 " 3/4 which gave me a square of 6" 1/4 X 6"14 but when folded in half I had a 6" 1/4 X 3" 1/4. I did it first on a cheap piece of paper and now I'm making them w/cardstock. I LOVE all Your tutorials .! I just wish I knew cm! Thank You for sharing this with us and all the others You shared! You ROCK. (If anyone that knows inches and figures out how to make a bigger one, could You share with us please? !

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you Ju, although those measurements are not a language I understand. I am not great at Math and inches, phew, not a clue xxx

[@giovannabaisi4744]

Great idea! What abt making some pleats in the side like a accordion some there’s more space to save stores coupons? Can you try to make one like that? Thanks for your tutorials I love them 😍 all !!

[@AliaDePina]

Wonderful tutorial!! TFS Hugs ❤ Alia

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you Alia xx Thank you for watching xx

[@lilywhytewallis6897]

Absolutely fantastic idea!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you Lilly, welcome xx

[@AikunIhana]

Nice ideas you have there... but being out of frame many times showing the ready envelopes was a tad annoying. You could try marking your frame edges on to your craftmat so it´d be easier for you to keeping in frame...

[@HooliganMomma]

Seriously so cool..thank you!! xo

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you x

[@OneGuyOnline2]

Great idea, really nice. TFS

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you for watching x

[@cindybell3227]

Measuring is not my strong suit but this is a very cute addition to a journal.

[@TheSrspartans]

BRILLIANT!!!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you xx

[@dragonflyer59]

ohhhh... I understand now... instead of making two regular envelopes that would need attaching, it's one continuous to make it look like the two are joined...( if I made any sense of it, but I do comprehend what you did...)...

[@michelesnyder4105]

Love it!

[@MicheleScott]

Nice!!! I dont have an envelope maker.. Great help Dude xoxox

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Ah thanks Dude, xxx

[@vanikurup]
