Prepping your things ahead of time is much appreciated also appreciate your down to earth approach with no stories about your private life or ramblings that comes to peoples minds. you must be a very efficient and organized person thank you very much

[@sharonwatson4085]

LOVE IT!!! I really appreciated how everything was pre-cut, inked, etc. It fast fed us the information which is important as a number of us are really limited in the time we can watch the tutorial. Please keep your creativity flowing. This was inspiration and practical!

[@rikkispin]

Best video I've watched in awhile. Very informative, pleasant to listen to without the chit chat nonsense. Great product and so well taught. I cat wait to make one. Loved it, you are awesome instructor. FABULOUS

[@bluebirdlanecreations7455]

I've watched countless videos on this...yours is the only one that I could really follow and understand.

[@cheryl7476]

What a wonderful book. Watching you and seeing all the pretty papers gave me the idea of making a few of these, creating all the tags the tags, and write on the back of each one, special notes for some special friends and my two daughters. Sounds like fun to me. Thanks for the great idea using multiple envelops. You explain everything well and have a very nice voice. Glad I found you.

[@sandyvanderlinde237]

Hi there, have seen so many ways on how to dress up envelopes, but you have yet another style. That is what makes journaling such fun. The creativity is never ending.

[@gail2139]

Thanks for creating and inspiring, and for keeping the video under 20 minutes! Your prep work off screen is appreciated! 👍😊👍

[@wesley5518]

Thank You for the very organized video. Love your project. Some awesome dyed papers you cover up, but I also love the how you've used them. Fun coffee break for me.

[@djm0701]

What a lovely insert! Your thoughtfulness at being prepared and keeping a good pace is much appreciated. You have a pleasant voice to listen to and are clear and precise. I am a new fan! Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank Anna, I really really enjoyed watching you create these multi pockets folio. It’s really awesome and stunning too, and yes I really can see me creating some of these. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@kristinjacobsen3417]

Thanks for this helpful video! I do like watching people doing every step. But certainly you included all the needed steps.

[@waukonstandard]

what a great idea! can't wait to see you embellish it

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Yes, yes, yes! I just love flips and flaps of any kind. Beautiful paper choice. Look forward to see the next step. 👍🥰❤️

[@luanncarnahan5030]

I love that your tutorials are quick and right to the point. Great job! Beautiful work! Tfs🤗

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

This is so pretty! I know what my next project is going to be now. Thanks for the great video! 💕

[@jacquiericard5190]

Love your file folder! Have not seen this technique before. I am a newbie and getting ideas to start soon. Thank you!

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

Love it! After I tried this kind of envelope folio I learned not to glue the fold of the envelope so close to the side .. after putting in a tag or paper it would lift up and be too “poofy”! Lol I saw on another video where they suggested you leave about an eighth of an inch space from the fold of the envelope .. helps eliminate the poofiness! Love your papers! Too cute! Ty

[@nameunderconstructionthank84]

Thanks for the info…I’m a newbie & I appreciate your reminder 💜

[@chaselip]

This iscawesome. I love the way the envelopes look stacked on each other.💌💌💌

[@rikkispin]

I will be watching many more of your tutorials. Thank you for being so professional. 💓

[@jeanninethames2523]

Lol...was telling you you glued to wrong place..love this...great tutorial!

[@missyrubio5099]

Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to try this one. I LOVE all my kits from you- you have a forever customer

[@sweetpeascraftingintheburb4462]

Love that idea , I have seen gayle make it and 2 others , gayle did the envelopes sticking down exact same as you but couple other put the envelope flaps direct on front not on back page , in the end it dont matter cos its all covered up , n you made it look so more more easier to make , thank you alanna

[@katherinehazard7580]

Love the design of this folder!!! For the sticky part on the very back...if you have an embossing powder bag, you can rub that on the sticky part and it should make it not sticky anymore. 😀

[@mrs.snyder2170]

This is so adorable! I’m hooked! I would like to start making these as gifts, after I get the hang of it. Could you please add a link for the video where you start using it and attaching journaling cards or whatever? Extra papers, etc.? I’m dying to see how this grew & turned out.

[@lesliespeers2739]

Love this, the best video for ease and style I've seen on these! I would make that into a stand alone journal with more surprises inside. TFS * L

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Found your digital kits today thanks to Gayle so I looked for a channel too. Love these. I was glad you caught the oops wrong glued spot. We all do it! Glad to see I’m not alone

[@pinkmonarchprints]

[@urshurakdieohnekanal9291]

Very nice folder. The paper looks stunning!!!

[@MsLouisVee]

You have my everlasting thanks for pre inking your papers. Thank you so much. All that distressing and inking on other videos plus the inane personal chatter is really starting to trigger me. you have a forever subscriber here.

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Haha this is great!! I do my best 😂

[@bettylandsaw6589]

I absolutely love this video I’ll pull it over I play it over and over

[@MsLouisVee]

It’s wonderful that you have pre-cut and pre-thought (and pre inked) all of this so you’re not doing everything while on video. it shows you have a very fine sense of focus and organization. you must be a teacher or an engineer perhaps? Anyway thank you for not jabbering and inking everything while on video I admire your style! ❤️ subbed!

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Ha ha!!!! I am SOOOO not an engineer! But I am married to one. Maybe he's rubbing off on me, but I doubt it. I am literally crazy unorganized!

[@lesliespeers2739]

I second that!! Totally an enjoyable video to watch!

[@lynnehebert6188]

I have done nothing today no housework no nothing except for watching these videos

[@juliao1255]

Thank you for showing this. It looks awesome AND completely doable! I am starting mine .....now!

[@cherylrymer6782]

You make complicated simple! Love this and yes, I can see wanting to add one more envelope Lol!

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Cheryl Rymer Thank you! That is so thoughtful of you to say! ❤️❤️

[@gailcason3652]

Lovely!!! May I ask, how did you achieve the circles pattern on your coffee dyed papers/file folders/envelopes? Love your projects! a new tutorial, perhaps?

[@marbellascreations5025]

Love love the final project!! Do you have a tutorial of how to dye paper with your pan??

[@fred98877]

I appreciate that you preinked. 😉 What is your trick for cutting the paper to fit the window envelope?

[@Canadian693]

[@vel0811]

This is brilliant! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@gawieber]

Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful. Would you please tell us the height and width of your folder. Much appreciated!

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Hi there! It started out as the standard 11.25"x 9" but I cut off the tab that sticks up. Hopefully that helps.

[@gawieber]

@@pinkmonarchprints You are so very kind to reply. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@nameless6252]

Just found you and love this project. I’m curious about the table top or mat you are working on. It seems like I’ve seen several youtubers with the same or a similar background. Does anyone know if that’s an item that is sold as a mat or protective surface? Thanks!

[@pinkmonarchprints]

I'm not sure what anyone else uses, but mine is sort of a vinyl cover that I put over my old cutting board! Ha ha! It works....

[@kayrejones3071]

Love it...can't wait to try one!

[@lisafreytag9414]

Nice piece!

[@ginghamgluejunkjournaling-397]

Love this by the way!!

[@lynngudgeon9416]

So clever. I love it.

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Thanks, Lynn!!! It was really fun to create!

[@gailcason3652]

Lovely!!! May I ask, how did you achieve the circles pattern on your coffee dyed papers/file folders/envelopes? Love your projects!

[@lisamorales3914]

I recently saw a pot cover that had all those holes in it. I thought maybe it was used to lessen spatter or to steam buns while the pot is cooking.

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

She mentions how in the video.

[@cheryldouglas234]

Nice project. Thank you for sharing

[@lisamorales3914]

Think it would make a great gift as is.

[@WhiteRavenBookRook]

So cute cute. Great instructions, New subscriber

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

Yes it is suer cute. Thanks for sharing.

[@janean3773]

Newbie to junk journaling! Adore your vids. Any tips on cutting the paper around those envelope windows? Mine turned out *wonky.*

[@RosemaryMarisArt]

Such pretty paper

[@paulinejohnston8435]

Question. How strong is the fold of the flaps as that area will be opened and closed with just the envelope paper. I am talking about the natural envelope crease at the flap. I have enjoyed watching and thank you for your talents.

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Pauline Johnston it’s pretty strong but I have seen people reinforce with either washi tape or first aid tape. That would definitely give it some extra strength. Thanks!!

[@amandachilvers3631]

I love this so much and keep rewatching it. Did you finish it?

[@sandylarsen6258]

Awesome tutorial! Could you please tell me what kind of paper did you use? It appears to be thin and shiny. Thank you in advance.

[@tatteredbookboutique]

Oh my goodness I am so excited to make this! And I need to buy another kit! LOL. And I just found the Scribner radio music book off of eBay for 6.50! Free shipping I am so excited! Do you know the entire library of those is like $75? I bet you got a way better deal?

[@lisamorales3914]

LOVE ❤️ so❤️ much!

[@lisamorales3914]

Love it!

[@journalingadventures]

Great tutorial.

[@cristinashepard3166]

Gorgeous!

[@annalba]

This is awesome & do I have junk envelopes, What paper do you use for printing It looks heaver than what I use,

[@nancylangford4090]

In this video, you referenced a follow-up video to show decorating it...and what to do with the back side. May I know the names of those videos, so I can find them? I'm having trouble locating. TIA!

[@anme1357]

What is this super glue you use? Also, wonderful design; I’m in the middle of attempting my first one.

[@pinkmonarchprints]

I like Fabri-Tac. Works amazing for me!

[@ginghamgluejunkjournaling-397]

Can I ask how you got the window portion cut out on your paper?

[@barbaranorris2358]

I bought your kit, Vibrant melodies and love it. What kind of paper are you printing on to get that nice shine? Love this file folder that you made!

[@pinkmonarchprints]

The print shop I went to used a slightly glossy, lightweight cardstock. I actually prefer matte, but it looks great with this project!! Thank you so much for the kind words! I always feel like I have a lot to learn still!

[@kayvallance9560]

hello, just found you today as i embark on my first junk mail into journal journey. i have one question - you went through the effort to coffee/tea stain the envelopes, then you covered them up with the colorful papers. why go through the staining process - couldn't you have inked just the edges and arrived at the same result? Is there something in the staining process that makes it worth the effort? (i don't have much room to deal with the drying phase)

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Absolutely! You don't need to dye anything if you don't want to. I just had the paper and enveloped dyed already so I just used them. But you are right.... it wasn't necessary. :)

[@HMOCreations1807]

Do you got the cm/inches of the paper you used?

[@journalingadventures]

Ok I must be dyslexic or dumb. I have a Manila file folder. I fold it again cross ways, cut it and then sew?

[@cindywatson3083]

Lovely!!

[@nancyorourke7679]

New sub..thank you for the video!! : )

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Happy to have you here! ❤️

[@christybower]

I wish I knew how you cut out the window area on your scrapbook paper so it lines up with the envelope.

[@patsyfoister684]

LOVE!!!

[@AudreyLizee]

Where can I find the follow up to this tutorial, I am trying to figureo out how to finish the project
