This is awesome ❤I was watching with my headphones in as my husband was watching a tv show and you said, I’m going to leave the corners straight. I said WHAT?!! Out loud and scared him 😂

[@dustyacres]

I've also done just that before, had to laugh 😃

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😂😂

[@CraftyYarnOwlwithDarla]

😂🤣🤣

[@Laura-to2kz]

You are like watching a master class in paper and collage, with a lot of laughter thrown in….absolutely love watching you!!😂❤❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 😊

[@tracker5849]

This is meant with ALL DUE RESPECT. I love to see you make the mistakes...you are the best and when you mess up it makes me feel far less inferior or unable to do things. I try hard for no mistakes but that doesnt happen. Thank you for all you do. I LOVE YOUR WORK AND YOUR VIDEOS

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 😊

[@vel0811]

I feel the same way. I love when my favorite creators make boo boos bc I dont feel so bad. Lol

[@barbarabass4235]

I have this digital and think it is so beautiful but I don’t understand how you can take it and mix it all up and make something so exquisite! You are a master. The fact that nothing is too much trouble for you to try really makes your channel so entertaining for me. Love your work! ❤ and hugs from Michigan USA.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thank you so much 😊

[@TwilaSue]

I was trying to resist Michelle’s beautiful kit - I did not succeed after watching you do these magnificent pieces!! I have a ton of window envelops and lots of ideas, but will be duplicating with the this beautiful kit first!!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻🥰

[@44hopeful]

Margreth you are always a joy to watch. I especially like the little labels by the tabs, they are perfect, even though they were just to cover something else. So happy for you that your nails healed 😊

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks ☺️

[@lindacurl6337]

I love how this came out! I think the ribbon you can see thru just adds a nice touch! It goes so nice with the kit! ❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😘😊👍🏻

[@debbie1016]

The envelope and journal cards are so bright and cheerful. They looks so lovely all put together. I am going to have to buy the yellow and green kits now so I can make something bright and cheerful too. Thank you for sharing.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻🥰😊

[@TheMuggs2008]

Margreth, you are an absolute delight!!!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Love watching you craft and listen to you chit chat. You are a delight and make everything look easy and fun beside your makes are alway beautiful. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks ☺️

[@rmm3150]

Suggest putting a thinner piece of lace on top of the ribbon between the fleur de lis's so you'll see the yellow plaid border and the lace will cover up the messy parts. Very clever use of envelope and journal cards.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻😊

[@crabbydaves]

I love this project. I couldn’t see it coming out as beautiful as it did when you started. That’s why I keep watching you I learn something every time and you always make my day

Really Cool. Only you can take junk mail and turn it into a work of art. And the cards turned out spectacular.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

A fun project to try! Squeezy scissors take the effort out of cutting. Used another brand for years in sewing.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Great 👍🏻

[@cheryl7476]

Hi Margreth, decades ago, I had two kitties with similar temperaments. Puddinfoot was my irritable feline, who would for no apparent reason, slap at Heishe, my sweetheart rag doll male. He would always look at me wondering what on earth got into Puddinfoot. Loved those 2. Sure like how you cover your envelopes with ease and simplicity. Hooray for rulers!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😁👍🏻😽

[@thewholebucket897]

This is too funny. I just finished filming a video where I use that freebie. I'm taking a break in between so I wanted to see what you're up to. And, there it is. I'm excited to see what you do with it. OK, off to watch now.🥰

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@katjabittermann2540]

Perhaps sometimes you could show us your lovely cats (children). i would love to meet them.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

They sometimes make an appearance 😽

[@lechat8533]

I seriously dislike the colour yellow, but you managed to make me like your creation :))) Most crafting scissors are crooked. How on earth can one cut a straight line with bad scissors?! Thank you for another great video and all the inspiration.💛🧡💚🤎

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😘👍🏻😊

[@lynnehebert6188]

I am in heaven. I haven’t been able to watch your video since the start of Gunther two but now I’m back thank you for all your hard work and your refreshing goodies.

[@kiminalaska9363]

I broke down and bought the scissors. I love my big TH scissors it helps me cut straighter than I normally would but they are also hard on my hands when using very much

[@kiminalaska9363]

Too funny! I just came to the part of your video where you said that you like the scissors, you’re not saying that you are cutting straight but you are cutting straighter. That is all I hope to accomplish

[@SevenplazaCreative]

👍🏻🥰😁

[@michelles9117]

I love when you play about with envelopes.😊 The decorating is lovely. Not a yellow fan but this is great. Can I ask where you buy your UHU glue sticks from? TFS❤
