Thank you for allowing us into your life and for sharing this creative part of yourself with us. Your beautiful personality shines through your work, your laughter and even through your tears. What you do is a blessing to all of us and I hope you never allow anything to steal your gift of creating or your joy. You’re a very special lady and you are loved and appreciated!!!😍❤️🦋🌹☀️🥰

[@mrsannervin]

Cyndi, I could not have said it any better. I discovered her only a month ago. Such a blessing.

[@TrishDarbonne]

This says everything I want to say, too. I rewatch old videos just to be awed all over again.

[@49dragonflies]

oh my goodness, Luise, this is pure magic! The addition of the numbers was perfect. I could have watched you flip through this booklet for hours! It's quite evident how much work you have put into it and it's so very special and so you! I don't know how I deserved you as a design team member!

[@myhappyspace4533]

@49dragonflies totally agree, she is a gem

[@luiseheinzl]

Ehm .... great designers deserve great design team members. Easy answer LOL

[@49dragonflies]

[@adelleleiblein365]

Genius of paper arts…with the heart of an artistic lion! A friendly lioness, of course!🥰

[@laurieweatbrook5020]

Fabulous! I don't know if I'm inspired or intimidated as your work is so complex but so very beautiful!!!

[@maryramirez4221]

I I'm intimidated this looks too too complicated but I would love love to create one day soon it would take me days weeks maybe lol

[@grahamfox931]

Oh my word, what a beautiful Envelope Notebook Journal, it is so very scrummy, yummy and grungy, wonderful work Luise. You are a true artist and I love to see how your feelings and heart show in your work. Thank you for sharing with us and forever inspiring us to be more than we think we can. I love it when you laugh and are not afraid to shed a few tears on occasions too, you are a lovely, gentle lady and I am forever grateful that I "happened" upon your channel, you have brought so much joy, inspiration into my life and I thank you for that. As always, I am sending you Blessings and hugs, hope you and your hubby are safe and well. Diana

[@pnichols1966]

It makes me smile to see and hear you so happy over a “happy accident!” Just serendipitous! Beautiful work.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

Luise this entire envelope journal is perfection. I hope it’s sitting on your breakfast table so that you and your partner can leave sweet notes to each other. The details as always are so delightful. 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@deborahkemp7143]

Awesome! I love to hear your thoughts and comments as you work through this. It is the work of an artist who loves her craft to bring this to life! Well done 👏

[@helensalo9810]

Your work is incredible! Some people just stamp ,glue,color. You actually make works of art ! ❤️👏🏻

[@nanciwilson7048]

Luise...I have so much loved watching you make this junk journal. It is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! The passion & creativity you put into your work is just SO, SO BREATHTAKING! I wish I could have just a smidgen of your creativity, but since I don't, I will just keep watching you bring your creativity to life. You are, by far, one of THE MOST CREATIVE, MAGICAL ARTISTS I have watched on You Tube, & I have watched a lot of videos. I already watched Part 1 TWICE, just to see you be able to change a plain, ordinary envelope into a masterpiece, & I am SURE I will be watching Part 2 more than twice. I can see in your work & hear in your voice when you talk through what you are thinking & what you 'might' do & then what you have decided to do, that you TRULY, TRULY LOVE & ENJOY WHAT YOU DO! So do I, & I am sure so many, many others also love your channel & you! Thank you for sharing your passion, creativity, & heart with all of us. 🤩😻💖🧡💜👋✌🤟👩‍🎨

[@lebenslinie1964]

Dear Luise, i have not the right words to say, how cute, beautiful and perfect it is. You are a art of junk journeling, because you make it with your heart and down to the smallest detail. Thank you for this great work! Pia

[@darlenecalander335]

Ahhhh...where to start?!? Your outstandingly beautiful envelope notebook is a masterpiece with all of its clever elements 🦋🐘🐝🍄. It makes me so happy to hear your delight when an idea comes together. "Hahaaa! We can do anything, but with what?!" 🤣 Then almost instantaneously, your thoughts appear beautifully on the page as another of Luise's special touches. I can feel your joy and feel so humbled and touched that your love and care for others is expressed in such a way. So thankful you want others to experience your love of creating art and how meaningful it is to your life AND that I can experience it too. 🤗😄💥 Pure happiness and enjoyment...your love shines through Luise. Thank you so, SO very much!

[@luiseheinzl]

Aww 🥰 thank you so much ❤️

[@brendamyers2353]

Absolutely gorgeous. You are so incredibly creative and talented. I love how you get such joy from your creations. You are pure inspiration and delightful.

[@TubeYouLena]

This video of an artsy envelope totally enveloped me in a blanket of luxurious coziness. Thanks so much for all you create and show.

[@denisebrown4933]

This is just breathtaking, Luise! I love how you teach principles of design when you share your process. And Barbara’s papers are beautiful too!

[@TRoth858]

This junk journal is stunning! You are very gifted to make such a beautiful journal out of paper, stamps, and ink. I love your personality, and honesty. When you gasped at the thread color being so wrong, I had to laugh. I came across your channel by accident, but I look forward to watching more of your videos. 🤗

[@aliciasandoval4069]

It's fascinating watching the master at work. I wish I had nothing to do but watch your videos.

[@luiseheinzl]

Aww 🥰 thank you!

[@cinziagirelli7939]

Louise, stunning ! Every detail means so much. Who knew splatters could be awesome. Every page a delight, I will be re-watching this many times. Your color choices , images and composition. A+.

[@r.c.miller6161]

Lovely!!! 49 Dragonflies is lucky to have you representing her products.

[@sheilastyrebriere]

Watching and listening to you work through your creative process was so fulfilling!!! Your enthusiasm and joy are truly inspiring! 🥰🙏🏼🥰

[@69Sugah]

Ms. Luisa I enjoy watching you create your junk journals. I am beginning to think I am addicted to watching @49Dragonflies and you. You are all such an inspiration that I am willing to try and create my own. It won't contain any printables, which is sad on my end (I drive an 18 wheeler for a living) but all is not hopeless. I have stencils, inks, and stamps. I am sure to create something nice. Thank you for sharing your creativity. The envelope journal was beautiful. 🥰🤗

[@luiseheinzl]

Thank you very much! Of course you don't necessarily need digital paper for this project!

[@heartofhomemade]

You are a great teacher! I really enjoy when you teach yourself something new. You are a brave and talented artist

[@tracytanasiychuk8253]

I can’t add anything else everyone in the comments has said what I want to say. So I will just say WELL DONE!!! Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

[@melindap.ullrich4564]

Luise it is so beautiful! All the little tiny things you have done are so fabulous. Stamps, tags, lace, mushrooms 🍄, birds, are awesome!

[@debbivaughn1313]

Who wouldn't treasure this beauty forever? It turned out amazing.🥰

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Oh wow! I love how the layered mushrooms turned out. 😍 Thank you for sharing. 🍄 Every page turned out BEAUTIFUL.

[@k.susieroloff4801]

Wonderful!...Fabulous!....Genius!......Creative......too many words to describe the yummy-ness of this envelope notebook....😻

[@connielester1641]

Awesome! I’m so thankful you didn’t go the mad scientist route and mix animals and humans!!! This is a beautiful project that will make great gifts for my family and friends. Thanks for taking us along on this journey❣️

[@NorthlightsStudio]

“Take some mushrooms “ lol love it!!

[@KateriBurnett]

You are amazing Luise, the things you come up with are just so beautiful. I want to come through the screen and hug that folder. Just beautiful

[@wendburke191]

I am going to go "fan girl" on you. I have been watching your videos for a year and a half. Your artist's eye is perfect. When you get an idea and talk us through the excitement, I feel honored to be sharing the journey. It is delicious when you giggle a bit after you finish the work to flesh out your vision. I am in recovery after a lengthy mental health crisis. I have an art therapy group each Friday we meet. We are blessed to have two therapists who really saved my life, through art. One of them gave me your name on youtube, She set me up on a blind date with your channel. I instant;y fell in love. My teen daughter has been encouraging me to try some simple things. The problem is I want to start big things. Question: What supplies do you think are essential to buy for stocking newbies' first haul. I want to set myself up for a good experiment to be successful

[@cathyetter8133]

This is soooooooo flippin' brilliant U can hardly stand it!!!!!! I couldn't imagine you could improve upon the first segment but you officially blew my wee mind!!!!!! Humongo thank you for sharing!!!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@melissashultz9448]

Absolutely amazing what you can create with paper and ink. I wish I could have your creative brain for just a day. Cannot wait for your next project.

[@angelaarnold4255]

Amazing. So much you can do when you start with 2 envelopes.

[@suebrown7882]

So beautiful! Lovely to watch a basic notebook transform into a fabulous work of art....well done!

[@nancykirk8913]

What a creative and fabulous mind you have in the art of junk journaling!!!! I am so very excited I found you and this video, part 1 and part 2 was the first time I've watched you.....now to go back and try to see all you others because I know I found someone who is very inspirational, easy to follow and a delightful person!!!! I loved this little journal/envelope notebook and am delighted in your work! I see you are Austrian, and, as one who spent age 5 through age 17 in Germany, we made two or three trips to Austria and LOVED it!!! Also, when we first went to Germany, we found our beloved Gabby (Gabriella) who became our live-in 2nd. mom, housekeeper and a beloved part of the family and she was from Austria!!! Anyway, just wanted to say once again, I see true talent in your work....you are an artist in the truest sense!! ❤

[@luiseheinzl]

Aww 🥰 thank you so much ❤️

[@pattyfifield7599]

I have seen other junk journals before and was never impressed with them enough to even give a "like". HOWEVER.....I MUST SAY....yours has almost left me speechless!!!!! Sooooo gorgeous!!! Most inventive (2 seperate sides joined together and still having a usable space in between)....ingenious!!!!!! And the decoration/design has such great flow....even though there is alot it does NOT look cluttered like other s I have seen. Your "junk" videos are the ONLY ones that I have given a like and the ONLY ones I will invest my time to subscribe!!! You are gifted with such talent... As I said before when I watched a couple of other peoples videos Iwas not impressed so never took interest in making one. But after seeing yours I now look forward to watching your other videos and venture into making a journal myself. Thank you for sharing your talent and God Bless You

[@luiseheinzl]

Your comment leaves me speechless and very proud. Thank you so much! Your words mean the world to me!

[@kathrynhelm4176]

My word Luise...that is beyond beautiful and brilliant! I’m blown away by your ingenuity and artistic talents. This is stunning! 👍🥰❤️

[@elaineruiz1446]

Sorry, I watched the other video in German first and didn't realize you made one in English. Your work is so beautiful and inspiring! Love, love, love it! Thank you so much for sharing. You are so unbelievably talented!!!

[@morninglory576]

I love everything you did! It's so magical! I love the numbers, but when you were working on the mushrooms, I thought, "this is my favorite," but then you added the "collect" stamp and I was over the top loving it! You are magical!

[@fetchingpurls1097]

Luise, what a gorgeous envelope notebook. Thank you for sharing your magic!

[@DonnaLueders]

WOW! This is lovely. I don't think you know how to make something ugly because everything you make turns out beautiful!

[@bonnielipke1962]

I expected nothing less than this GORGEOUS project from you.... Its AMAZING

[@Sundies_Art]

This turned absolutely stunning!!! You are so very talented. So much work went into this little project but what a transformation it has become. Beautiful job.

[@nikithane3064]

[@lynnettemcelmurray4597]

Love love this little contraption!!! Going to have to make one!!! I’m sure Barbara will love it!!!😻👩🏻‍🦰💖

[@karenlarsen3196]

What a treat to see the final flip through after your embellishments. You have inspired me to make one of these and if mine turns out, I may make a few more to give as gifts to some of my little art group.....they are fiber artists, and they have all be asking me for a little 'journal'. I now have to come up with 6 different themes. My challenge to myself. Thank you and hugs from a MN gal.

[@cricutologist32820]

I love how it turned out! This was fun to watch! I love how you get so excited and squeal in delight. So fun! I will try this!

[@lindajones7384]

I love the use of the distress ink on paper. Can not wait to try this on my signatures. Thank you!

[@cindycreateforlife]

Oh Luise, you are just a joy, I love your sense of humour and your excitement when you find just the right thing! I love your complexity of design, the way you craft the perfect elements to make such a beautiful thing! I also love the sound of the papers, like they are really old, perfection! You always make me smile as I watch your inspiring videos! 💕from🇨🇦

[@star2405]

Oh Luise, this is wonderful! I love it so much.. everything from the lace to the embellishments, the stains and the paint, the tears and distressed edges, the stamping and oh the colours..oh my gosh, this is just incredible, just absolutely gorgeous! I love absolutely every single thing about it 😍😍

[@debbieklapmeier2505]

Luise, I love watching your videos! You inspire me with your genuine enthusiasm. So refreshing!!!

[@merlperry3002]

Beautiful. Amazing to start with envelopes and paper and end up with this.

[@heatherparry3159]

I love everything about this journal! Thanks for sharing your process and thoughts on constructing and decorating it.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Luise, I really really enjoyed watching you create the covers of this adorable journal 📔. It’s incredibly beautiful and stunning too. I have that stamp set, which, I really haven’t used, so it is going to be used now. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@bearobinson3391]

You giggle just like I do when something cool works!

This notebook is so wonderful! I love watching you create! Thank you!

[@blueperegrine]

You have such exquisite taste in design.

[@janinewoodhull3611]

Like everything you do, this turned out amazing! I love how you have the glued-on elements continuing up onto the flap.

[@pennykafai4645]

Wow,wow,wow!!!!!! This is just so beautiful. I am in love with this. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art x

[@delphine-h]

If you want to stamp only a part of your stamp you have to cover the part of the stamp that you don't want with tape, then apply your ink and remove the tape. There will be no ink where the tape was ;) I really love your channel and your work and I have to make this enveloppe notebook it's so amazing !

[@emmawheeler4624]

Wow this was beautiful, spectacular, and magical! And actually you make me feel like I could do this too, so thank you. I thought you were gunna put the whole mushroom with some underneath the flap and cut it bits of a second one to put on the flap, but this was something extra special. I wasn’t expecting you to decorate inside, the colours are gorgeous and the pop of blue absolutely perfect, and the stamping I think was the extra touch it was asking for. I will never stop being amazed at your work Manuela, well done 😊❤️🦋

[@ctaylor9510]

Watching you create is both interesting and inspiring! Beautiful project as always.♥️

[@vickymargiotta425]

What an absolutely gorgeous piece of art! You are truly a very talented and creative lady. This was the first of your videos that I have watched, but I will definitely be back for more. I totally enjoyed your creative process as I watched you working on this envelop journal. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas with us.

[@donnakinmn1683]

Wow. this turned out so shabby and beautiful. I really like the idea of making a little journal with 2 envelopes. I'm not sure I could get the same grunginess on the signature pages as you did. You just keep adding until you love it. I lose my courage and stop.

[@artfullee]

This is gorgeous Luise and all of the layering techniques are brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing. You've inspired me to get out my neglected collection of stamps and ephemera and use them in new ways 🙂

[@BenitaMCWCaruthers]

Hello I just watched the first video I enjoyed it so much I subscribed and saved it along with this one to make one for my daughter's 45th birthday. I know i will enjoy the making of the envelope booklet. thank you for sharing your talents.

[@zebralite2020]

I am so jealous of your little stamp book. So cute. Great project video 😊

[@jamakrueger7460]

You always take it to the next level. Just beautiful!!!

[@LauraMe...]

Oh my Louise ❣ this journal is enchanting! How you dud the cover is so fun and whimsical... I was thinking you could print a second one to put on the inside of the flap, but what you did with the stamps is so much better. And then incorporating even the Savanah pieces inside was brilliant! Love it so much!❤❤❤

[@maryannschuetz5155]

My goodness Luise...THIS is WONDERFUL❣

[@nickalli]

Such a gorgeous project!! I’ve loved discovering your channel ❤️ has anyone told you yet how to stamp that “fig 2”? The secret is washi tape! Cover fig 1 and fig 3 with washi tape, ink your stamp, then remove and throw away the washi and stamp - voila!! Only ink on fig 2 😁💋💋

[@bettyareson6098]

I’m so in love with this. Beautiful
