[@Tina-MakingandCreating]

I AM listening to this, Barbara🥰 These bunnies are the cutest and we are sooo pleased you have chosen our Beatrix Potter World journal kit for another awesome Junk Journal Folio project.....Also love the stitching around the pockets and the ink splutters! AND thanks for the printing tips too:) Hugs from England xx

[@prof.mommyarty]

Tina this kit is ADORABLE 😍😍😍

[@TubeYouLena]

22:20 to make decorative folds on the edges of coffee-died papers when ironing them is such a good idea, thanks a lot for that!

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

You are right Barbara! The bunnies are adorable! Excited to see pt. 2!!

[@wendyk2557]

I just recently ironed some paper and I agree, it was very enjoyable.....so much so that I ironed some tea dyed fabric I had and some tea dyed paper doilies.

[@heathersullivan8494]

Hi Barbara. I really appreciate you showing us the process of putting this together. Can’t wait for part 2! 😊❤

[@darylfisher8341]

What a fantastic journal to make. Love your pages. Have to try to make for my niece in Germany. Thanks for sharing this video❤❤🐱😊😊

[@anitajansen5610]

What a great kit. I love Beatrix Potter👍🧡 love also your video's 👍🧡

[@marylintruelove3317]

This is so fabulous that I joined the Digital Club as a lifetime member right after I finished watching this video. Can't wait to make my own envelope junk journal folio. You and Luisa are amazing and I always look forward to seeing what you have created next...you NEVER disappoint. Thanks for sharing your talent and keeping us all inspired.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw thank you! You will love Tina’s digitals! 😊

[@marylintruelove3317]

Yep I already am...decidingn what to download for my first envelope folio@@49dragonflies

[@christine0nowell757]

I'm enjoying this, looking forward to part 2 xx

[@nicolecalhoun7670]

Barbara! These arw just so cute!!!!! The bunnies are perfect and the lil hamster in the dress omg! I could use these to make an Easter journal! Tfs!!! Love u so much! Love from the USA.❤❤❤

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@wrenbayley]

Oh! I haven’t seen the Golden Bee kit from DCC! Checking that out immediately after this video.

[@RobinfromCA]

This is such a cute kit from DCC! I printed them out for my granddaughters to use in their journals. They are 7 and 11 years old and love to have pretty things to glue in. You sounds like you're still suffering from your cold. Take care of yourself!

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you, Robin! ❤️

[@toniscott1029]

I love this folio already!

[@susananderson8428]

I did a journal using envelopes, but i love your idea much better. Ijust started gluing envelopes together as pages as well. It turned out okay, but i really like the flops. 😂 TFS ❤❤❤

[@dbabybear]

These bunnies are so cuteee.

[@ReginaCreates2]

Very helpful … thank you!! Big Like number 844 👍 🌻 🐰 🐇

[@wandaspencer9523]

This is so cute! These bunnies are adorable.😊❤❤lovely ideas.

[@pambotter355]

Barbara, I have made a few of your folks like this. Excited to watch this and the next video. Love the DCC. I am going to ask my hubby if we can do that and would love to join. My hubby is the tech guy. TFS! ❤

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

This is so very adorable Barbara! I love it! ❤🐰❤️🐇…

[@lillybullen5374]

How funny! I've just got home from a holiday, and am working on a project for the first time in 3 weeks - dyeing pieces of paper and fabric with some lotus tea that I got whilst I was away. And of course, I had to catch up with you as well. So here we are, using a sponge foam brush to apply our liquid at exactly the same time. 😊🧡💚🤎

[@49dragonflies]

Ha! How fun! 😃❤️

[@prof.mommyarty]

Oh I haven't made or seen these for ages, I love them! DCC has so many yummy kits to choose from, we're spoilt for choice! Oh that's SOO CUUUTE 😍😍😍 I hadn't seen this one close up! Lol Tina from Shabbydabbydoohdah keeps her coffee dye in a cup on her desk permanently and just tops it up 🙊. Oh yes the stain has wicked out yet photo paper doesn't allow for the oxide effect to work when inked🤷. I like the artsy bubble look it gives tbh. Curiouser and curiouser! Lol yes, funny how ironing(and sewing) paper is way more fun than fabric😄. Lol yes, designer creases are fine🙊. The glue eraser also removes envelope sticky 😁. Looking forward to seeing it with the gorgeous papers on! Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@annemillion1501]

Can't wait to start my own!

[@robinknutson8765]

I agree with your ironing paper vs clothes 😂

[@janetstubbington583]

It's been a while since you did one of these, Barbara. I'm excited!

[@gehtdichnixan876]

[@robinknutson8765]

Lovely been sick for a while. Getting back finally. Beautiful

[@49dragonflies]

All the best for your continued recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@angelaarnold4255]

In my new Journal I made envelope flip outs just on the sides of my papers. I did one (or is that considered 2) in each signature. It seemed to take me forever since my brain made it more difficult than it really was. But I’m happy with the outcome and I’m so glad I tried.

[@49dragonflies]

You go, girl! 👍🏻😃❤️

[@yolandakouwenberg-meijer344]

I Love the bunnies

[@RedArrowTinker]

I realize it's too late, but, I'm just wondering, does your printer allow you to print a mirror or reverse image of a page? That would have allowed you to line up your folio pages properly.

[@49dragonflies]

Yes. That would have been a great solution! ❤️😊

[@cheralyndewet897]

Am loving this project can’t wait to follow along 😊

[@user-ow3fl8gq4k]

I would love to see part 2 please 😊

[@donnakinmn1683]

I haven't had time to watch videos for a while and tuned in to find this fun folio. I love this kind of project and your digital selection is really precious. On to part 2 . . .

[@poppydaniels9855]

Great idea🎉 love to join you.❤❤

[@aprilcarter749]

Enjoy the video on how to make a folio and those bunnies are the cutest ever! Excited for part 2. Thanks for sharing and the membership for the digitals. ❤

[@ginabadeaux9319]

oh boy i must make this,thank you

[@carriecorbin1502]

I really want to hug this kit. Soo super sweet. I am really enjoying this. Tfs. Love this❤❤❤❤ I’m wondering if the bleeding happens because of using the nozzle rather than the fan brush. I’m curious, I may have to test that out to see

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! Interesting theory….

[@karenmack254]

Love this! 🤩😍🤩😍

[@MaureenAstrid]

I had the same issue with the folio 😮😊 if you mirror the image horizontally first, it should work ... but I did the same as you, cut the tabs and glued them on ❤ love your project sweetie

[@49dragonflies]

Great minds think alike ❤️🥰

[@mariakristinaengen3215]

💜

[@kathyanstine4472]

I love this kit! I think the 2 slim tab pages go over the folio tabs that you cut off maybe. 😊

[@wrenbayley]

You mentioned the handpan in a previous Uncut video. Super cool! Since you enjoy the handpan thought I’d ask if you've ever heard of the theremin? If not, you’d be very intrigued by it I believe. It’s literally played without touching it! So entertaining.

[@49dragonflies]

Have never heard of it and will definitely check it out! 😃❤️

[@allisonjames2923]

You’re so considerate the way you ensure gold splatters don’t go in everyone’s eyes 😜

[@49dragonflies]

😅

[@allisonjames2923]

13:00 You sound like dragonfly wings fluttering here lol. It looks like this cut might be Ephy’s relatives & friends. Definitely a super adorable kit! Hope you get better soon 🤗💕🐶 And hope we get the rest of the video soon. You’re always so relaxing to hang out with 😁

[@sandyloer2249]

Barbara, I downloaded this kit also and will be making this also! I love this kit and can’t wait to start! I listened to a video recently where you recommended a book called Before She Disappeared, I just finished reading it today thanks for mentioning it u really enjoyed it 🥰.

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun with this kit and project! I hope you enjoyed the book at well! 😊❤️

[@debbieharper4771]

What an ingenious folio! You have an "engineering" mind. I'm so amazed. Is Part 2 ready?

[@49dragonflies]

It is. Posting it next week 😊

[@Kellyjosephine]

Love this so much I’m curious what were the metallic watercolor paints you used?

[@49dragonflies]

I was gifted those, but you can use any brand.

[@JanetteAnderson-sr5mv]

So So So super adorable ❤❤❤ What u use for the splattering.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! I think I showed everything I used in the video…

[@margaretcomella3318]

[@traceyhall8285]

Can I ask what printer you use ? Love your beautiful creations xx

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! I have an Epson ET5850. There are also smaller models with the eco tank system.

[@helendavies7591]

Hi Barbara Presuming your prints are ink jet I was wondering how come the paint splatters you make on the paper don’t leave water marks as on mine I seem to get this which spoils the print. Am I doing something wrong or do I need thicker paper? Thank you x

[@49dragonflies]

I wish I knew! Yes, I use ink jet. Also don’t understand why the mica stains bleed…🤷‍♀️
