I’m 73 years old. I figure I have 5,601 days till I turn 90. So I really need to rock the learning curve. I’ve made 2 journals and I gifted them to my daughter. I’m becoming a regular of Amazon every Monday. I’ve been been binge watching since June. Thank you for sharing.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Betty!!! :) I love that we are sharing time together! :) Welcome aboard!! :)

[@bettybutler1686]

Sure would like a video tour of your whole work space. I sold my crafts, paintings/sewing, upholstery, gallery shows, calligraphy, pottery while a PTA-Scout Mom. When 9 th child started first grade started first grade I started back to college. 4 years for BAFA in Art Studio

[@maryfigueroa8088]

You are awesome love your sense of humor you’re so funny 😂.. but you’re so loving with your husband.. I’m 86 and don’t have my husband..and when I hear someone being so sweet and loveing makes my heart glow!!

[@bonniesmith649]

I thoroughly enjoy watching your creative crafts, and I enjoy listening to your commentary.

[@deborahcox9015]

I could watch you forever, you crack me up and I am learning, thank you!

[@sharontrueman3221]

Hi Pam. I’m new -checking out every new video and going back 2 and 3 years. And loving everything! Thank you very much.

[@lorrdread]

Thanks so much, I made it along w/you. Love it, and the little "birdy beak".

[@julieanneworth9886]

Just gorgeous Alyssa. It is big enough to hold lots of photos and journalling. Thankyou, love it .

[@Ahlora1]

Just letting you know that I STILL come back to these for reminders (getting old and forget stuff). Thank you, Pam.

[@bernadetteelliott7511]

I come back to your tutorials always as I just love the simplicity and ways to use recycled paper etc..

[@sellersbonus]

How cute is this?!? Just beginning to make journals and cards at 66 yrs old. Took three tries to get it perfect. Thank you!!!

[@usernope728]

If you turn your envelope upside down you will have a hidden pocket. Thanks for all the great tips and tricks Pam, your the best.

[@pamsinclair2055]

I know you did this 2 years ago, but I loved this craft. I needed small envelopes so what sold me on this design was the cute bird beak. You did a great job showing how to do this project. I have made 6 of them. Thanks.

[@billienuhfer447]

I love your personality!!! The world needs more ppl like yourself! Thank you for sharing!!!

I agree,her personality is great..this tutorial was a joy to watch and listen to,she explained what she was doing without that "talking down to" tone that some people tend to have when making tutorial videos..this looked very easy and I think I might try it..I'm not into junk journals but I could make some of these cute little envelopes and gift them to people that are into junk journaling..also,this would be something easy I could do to keep my hands flexible as I have rheumatoid arthritis and I'm looking for simple things I can do to keep my hands and fingers from getting too stiff..a very well done video 😊

You are so fun to have coffee with. What a cute envelope. My 9 year old grandson came out for the weekend and showed me some oragami he had learned. I’m going to make him an envelope. He loves crafting with me. This will be perfect for him. Thank you for your great directions ❤❤

[@lisagordon6355]

I’m addicted to making these little envelopes. Lol

[@Virginie.Bergar.artist]

Awesome with the beak closure. Thank you for showing how to do those cute envelopes

[@traci4440]

Thank you for this reminder. We used to make these in school when we'd swap notes with friends. You know, back before there were cell phones. 😆

[@susanjacquier5358]

This is my Favourite envelope by far.....Thanks from Australia. To those starting on making journals....it took me two years of practice and mistakes :)

[@judydorman2833]

Still i hurricane Laura, have electricity, a little water, no bathroom privileges and no internet( mobile something. But 💘 watching you. These envelopes are just adorable. I made 3 with you, hope I remember howto do them.

[@joycekendrick6024]

SO cute!!! I think they'd make lovely "cards" to go on the outside of a gift out of matching or coordinating gift wrapping paper!!!

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

*Right..... Love this video.....🤗🤗🤗*

[@shabbyrosecreationsbykem]

I still think on your spare time, you should become a comedian! You're so hilariously funny, you always seem to make me laugh and I love that. Your sense of humor is amazing. I cannot wait to try and make these cute little envelopes thanks for sharing Pam ❤️

[@maggiegoebel369]

LOL I am so happy I came across your video! You’re fun to listen to and you explain well. Thanks!

[@debbietroyer9480]

Pam, I have a playlist called “stuff to keep” and I’ve got a lot of your stuff in it. I am just getting started with junk journaling. I’ve been gathering supplies for a while, but due to “reasons” I haven’t been able to start any big projects. So I’ve been working on making things that I can put into a journal when I finally have one going. I’m finding a lot of those kinds of ideas by watching your videos. So I’m getting to have a pretty good stash for when I really get going here. So thanks for all the cool ideas you come up with!

[@vivianwebb7670]

You made me so happy inking with blue, my favorite color.

[@shelleymorton5641]

Oh goodness I enjoyed this so much ! Had fun making these cute little envelopes. I stuffed them with goodies and gave them to nurses at my cardiologist office.

[@kimcase9]

I'm brand new to this and woo hoo..I am running around with a pulled apart golden book..and gathering old papers... have no idea what I'm doing... but I can make these giggles

[@RM-rt2zq]

Itchy trigger finger is right! Thanks don’t feel so alone now🤣🤣

[@02809spb]

Brilliant! Now I'm obsessed with these and can't stop!

[@4chicagogrl]

I agree with you about the journey of making journals. One thing that I believe I’ve heard you say is “if it comes out wrong, remember it’s just paper”. Not to negate he art side, or sound shallow, but it does help to know I’m not investing tons of $$ on a hobby it may takes years to “get good at”, and I love being able ro use what others may have thrown away or recycled as junk. Ps I love your videos and I’ve learned so much! Thanks for the effort you put in sharing your talent gift with others this way.

[@valerielargin1440]

I make what I call "Loaded Cards." These would make great inserts!

[@judithwattle6952]

I could watch you 24/7 no problem! I simply love all you do! TFS your talents n ideas. Keep em coming Pam. Cheers from downunder.xxxx

Omg 😁😃😀 the little bird beak !! 😁💝😁💝😁 love this idea! TFS Pam 💝

[@belenasturgill4303]

I love the way you talk to yourself I do the same. 😄 I like how you explain the demonstration. I’m glad I came across your project. I look forward to your others. Thankyou

[@conniebartch9656]

So cute! Love those little “bird beaks”!

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

*Me tooooo🦜🐦🦜🐦🦜🐦🤗🤗🤗*

[@lisad7733]

Ooooo…..this looks so easy! The possibilities are endless! I imagine you could use any size as long as it’s a true square. 7:33

[@sherri3255]

I used to make envelopes way back when before I even got into paper crafting. I bought a templet to use, I had forgotten all about it. Thanks :)

[@teresarn1965]

I love the bird beak sounds! You make the journey so enjoyable!!!

[@elizabethcollier1273]

Pam, your humor is the best, I absolutely love it and your tutorial too 🥰🥰🥰

[@diannebaldwin3667]

I love your videos and the way you chat to yourself. Always come out with a great item. Many thanks for them all but I do spend more time watching than doing !!!

[@dorriwithers8924]

I made 8 already and next time I FaceTime with my 8 year old granddaughter, I am going to show her how to make them and she will LOVE it!!

[@michellesmith6873]

I am so happy to have discovered you!!! You make the world a better place!

[@moosem2706]

LOL... I was struggling to copy you exactly and nothing felt natural.. I finally realized because I am sooooo totally left handed it was awkward ;-) so in case anyone else is like me, it is fine to do it with making the beak fold on the other side 😁 I love these! Thank you ♥

[@meryleardagh5159]

I too was thinking wrapping paper would be good for this. I am going to whistle up a few. I have seen this before in one of those silent speedy videos but I enjoy yours so much more and will probably retain what you showed us now. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@heathersullivan8494]

Thank you. I love these! As you say totally reckless abandonment…well that’s me. I am not about measuring at all, so these envelopes work quite well for me. Very cute!!

[@iamsuzzie]

Love these.. want to try bigger size paper! I live your sense of humor!

[@patriciagechei8145]

Pam, you bring us so much joy and happiness I hope someone is bringing you a great deal joy! I love these envelopes. Thank you for showing us how to make them🤗 hugs

[@sharonsammons2236]

Thank you for supplying us with wonderful ideas. I enjoy watching your videos. Have a wonderful day.

[@gdobberteen]

Great idea...I had to pause the video and pop out 6 of them. Great idea for this huge 8 1/2 x 11 inch thin paper pad...Another had to have...lol. Thank You

[@janerushton8263]

I had seen images of these floating around for quite a time, but never found the instructions! SO glad you did :) Thanks for showing how to make these fab little ephemera bits :)

[@clarepearce7115]

lol I love the way you get so excited I'm so like that 🤣

[@katlef2512]

Thank you for the lesson on how to use the grid board. It was new to me and very helpful.

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Those are too cute and actually pretty easy. I love the self closure...brilliant. Thanks for the share and the laughs Pam.

[@donnakowalski8185]

Wow! This is the very first thing I have made!! Thank you. I learn something from your videos every time I watch.

[@ek9457]

Great idea! I think that starting with a slightly larger square and slightly different folding, you could end up with a rectangular envelope that would hold a gift card. How cute would that be if made with gift wrapping or holiday wrapping paper! I'm going to play with that idea too. 😊💌📎✉️

[@ivybolm8834]

Bird Beak Envelopes! Love them. Thanks Pam!

[@ericastannard2635]

Well, I clearly am not in the fast lane! Where have I been? This cute little envelope just snuck right past me!! This is soooo cute, Pam! Thank you for always being here to learn new tricks from! Erica❤

[@juneribbons5196]

These are So sweet. I love them. They look easy to make My thanks to Melody Wilson on Pintrest I love what you said about how we all progress with time and experience. In the beginning its always trial and error. I remember trying to put in a zipper into a dress that had a pleated cumberbund at the waist. My mom was out of state with her mom and I was at a friend's. I put that zipper in three times and it just wouldn't lat right. Finally I had to put it aside and wait for mom do it when she returned home. I got the next one right

[@gigidtx]

best sound effects ever! love this design, so fun

[@tinabica-demers9205]

this reminds me of when we'd write notes to a friend in school...

[@dr3099]

I love this and so easy. I loved my first completed little cutie. I used a brown paper bag. I figured the paper bag can be decorated any way I want. Most likely I will use my stamps. I tried a litter bigger one, a 9x9. Nine by nine seemed to be a better size for me. I found your video 2 yrs after you created it. I am just now after a few years of other fun projects will be making my first wedding journal and of course began searching for embellishment ideas. Since finding your you I have watched several if not many of your video's and love them all. I enjoy your upbeat nature and you get right to it. This video was great, easy, and quick to make. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@nickimcpheehals572]

Cute envelopes Pam, I'd love to see some more varieties of envelopes, any you can come up with. I for one love hearing your birdies, they don't bother me at all. I miss them when I'm not hearing them. I hope you are doing well and Holly and the Lovebirds and your hubby too. I want everyone to be doing well. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@dorisandujar8277]

So cute. These are the 2nd type of envelopes I saw today. The other one I did is even smaller . They are so fun to do. Embellishing them are the best part. Thank you 4 sharing.

Made one by measuring and then made another 5 by eye balling while you were doing yours great little envelope

Oh this was fun... did them along with you... just like you were here in my craft room. Thin paper for sure. Lovely to add to my plain journals to jazz them up. Thanks!!!!

Absolutely love your videos! These little envelopes are adorable. 🥰

[@KidarWolf]

I went looking for an envelope folding video, and found this one, and my goodness, folks, if you haven't tried this with music paper, give it a go! Don't just limit yourself to conventional scrapbooking, origami, or other printed papers. The way this places the musical notation on diagonals creates a lot of visual interest for you, just embelish with something simple, and you've got yourself a quick and easy project that doesn't take a lot of decorating. A 12 x 12 sheet also creates a good sized envelope for mailing things too, so play around with the sizes of your papers too!

[@dianajusselin3549]

Thank you for sharing your “info” because I really needed your input on these cute envelopes. I’m glad you made a few more that just one or two. I need more than normal. At times I’m mentally challenged. To many concussions. I’m only saying this to thank you for your help. By the way I’m glad you mentioned about junk journals. I feel like a disaster at it. I will keep on sojourn along. I don’t know how that sojourn word came about.😳🤭🙏🏻❤️🥰

I’ve been using up paper I don’t love, and this week I tore out some pages I didn’t love from an 8x8 paper pad, tea stained the white backs of them, and have been making small fold out envelopes by cutting in half. Now I can use the 8x8 and make a bunch of these. Thanks for sharing. You’re SO right about the journey of making journals. Thanks for sharing!
