Making Ephemera! - #10 Envelope Tucks & Collage Paper-Fabric Receipt Tag

Making more ephemera from my idea journal! Today it's tucks and a super cute tag! The journal I'm working from was made by Chelle at The Ramblin Crafter and the tag made by one of my subbies and sent in happy mail. Designs for the tucks from Medieval Mirage the Illustrated Flora kit. Thanks for watching!

[@lolastewart2936]

I love listening to your giggle and your talking to us. I love how you make the project your own. It challenges me to do my own thing and brings out my creativity. Thanks for all your time in trying to help us find our own voice. You are amazing.!

[@joannesmith4593]

Hi Gayle, I have to say again I love watching your videos. Learning and tutorials aside (because I learn so very much from you which makes me so very happy) you make me laugh EVERY time! I absolutely love how open and honest you are. Mistakes are made, awkward things happen, life isn't perfect - but you show us it's ok. It doesn't have to be 'perfect'. You give us permission to make mistakes and laugh at them. I love that.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Joanne, for liking me for just who I am! 😁❤️

[@sallysmith2937]

Then again with the safety pins. Oh my😂😂😂. You are truly a breath of fresh air in this world of ours!!!

[@BigGrannydb]

Gayle - your videos are so informative & inspirational, BUT, best of all .... the narrative and the giggles! You are a HOOT! Bet your house is always filled with laughter! Never change, Sweet Girl!

[@sallysmith2937]

What a great community of junk journal, ephemera making arteeeests we have here! Oh Gayle, I had a belly laugh when you discovered your “oops” when ripping that first pocket. 😂 love all your creations!!

[@susanmarkwell1288]

Gayle, love love love your videos. Your laugh is so infectious and I love your ideas. I am so grateful for this new series. I am fairly new and I am constantly trying to remember what ephemera I saw and would like to duplicate. I am making each of these along with you, even though I don’t have the same color papers and fabrics. I love having these all made up so I can refresh my memory of what I can make for my journals. Thank you, so much, for just being you. I craft along with you in your Craft with Me series even if I don’t make the exact same project as you. It is nice to have a friend to craft along with!

[@lesliedenton8081]

I like watching you duplicate ephemera, you teach us it's okay to do things a little different with what we have.

[@belindaosgood]

I never craft along. I spend all day every day crafting so to give myself a break I watch your videos while I have my lunch. Then I'm ready and rested and full of more inspiration when it's time to get back to work. :)

[@JeanetteHouse]

Our favourite bumbling crafter’s back and rocking her focus diffuser! 😘 The pocket, the safety pins - you crack me up when you laugh at yourself and then do that seal-flipper-clap! 😂 Really cute project, Gayle; loving this series already. xx

[@user-vw9vn5df3e]

Боже, какая красота! Столько идей, Вы меня вдохновляете творить! Подписалась на Ваш канал и целыми днями упиваюсь Вашей работой.

[@darnicenixon6041]

Hi Gayle - I am still binge watching LOL 😂. So I watch you do one side then I pause you and make mine. Go back and watch back side, pause and do the same. I have boxes and baskets all over my kitchen table full of ephemera from your videos. You are SUCH an inspiration. Thanks for the mojo.

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Whew! That second type was a doozie! Gorgeous but super complicated! Chelle’s envie pocket is super cute. You did great, Gayle. I love that you are doing this with happy mail and in the process the rediscovering who the makers are (so we can give them kudos). You’re such an awesome supportive person and help make the journal making community such a great community. ❤️🤗

[@kikidodson4c4l51]

So thankful for the playlist! Realized I missed this one...and maybe others. Still watching entire series! Love it!

[@bobbiehoward2739]

Love the fact that you can laugh at yourself. Great videos.

[@marilyntorsch3970]

Love your videos Gayle. I’m more a watcher than a doer. I can’t miss your videos. You start my day with a few chuckles and a smile. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@rebekahevans4642]

I usually take notes while watching your videos then make things later. I did that today. I was working in my first journal today and had one of those days where nothing was going the way I wanted and I remembered you saying in a video there are no mistakes just happy accidents. I was able to fix everything and while it didn't come out as I planned my journal emphera came out pretty good.

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

I'm watching while I'm nursing a sinus cold❤️💯

[@nancykirk8913]

Your daughters are so adorable about being so excited and doing so much for your 'meet and greet'!!!! They love their Mama for sure!!! I want to come so bad, so bad I'm thousands of miles away!!!! Loved the ephemera, etc. you made etoday copying what someone else made (more or less), yours turned out just gorgeous!!! And, it looked like it was so fun to try to emulate someone else!! As far as if we were doing it to while watching or just watching, well, in my case, I just watch so as not to miss anything being such a newbie, and then will come back later and try it!! And, I do learn watching everything and don't want to miss a step, even using your pocket for something else, hee hee, and ummm, sort of spilling the gold safety pins everywhere too!!!! Love that you laugh at yourself....makes me feel free to laugh along with you as you are so adorable when you .... as you say....bumble once in a while!!! Hugs dear girl!!

[@janetduchamp872]

Great ephemera ideas. Gayle you just work your magic on all the thing you make and they are always beautiful. Have a great time at your meet and greet.😊❤️

[@bonnieleehen]

Making it! So fun having your inspiration and company!

[@gwenkatzman5227]

Hi Gayle! I’m watching and collecting ideas. I don’t have a lot of fabric for journals, most of mine is comic in nature, or cats! So I’m considering trying this with mostly paper. The fabric one. I have to get envelopes at the dollar store to try the envelope one. I’m really happy you’re doing this series. 😳 You just realized you ripped the pocket... I just love how you laugh at yourself for this stuff. You taught me that! It’s not a disaster, it’s paper or fabric and moving on! Big hugs! 🤗

[@ozjan7927]

Oh Gayle!!!! Like you, I watch KZbin when I go to bed. I really should watch your video before my husband goes to sleep!!! Lolol. I had to try so hard not to laugh out loud! Loved what you did tonight and look forward to seeing the next one. xx

[@beckymattsmom4556]

I'm loving this series!! Lots of great ideas!

[@bethann2971]

Gayle you are such a joy to watch you're just a lot of fun ta-dah and thingies included, I just laugh and giggle right along with you, and you're envelope tuck spots/card turned out just absolutely beautiful.

[@lswanso]

Love this series, Gayle! So fun!

[@marilyncordell4687]

You are such fun! Depending on what I am working on and what is on my desk, sometimes I create along with you and other times I save the video to return to later. I love that you are going to make a playlist of the ephemera. My sister got me into junk journaling and says we would make a good team because she likes putting the pages together and planning out the journal as a whole, whereas I love making all the little pieces and pockets and decorating them. Thank you for your giggles!

[@nmanso420]

I think it’s so adorable how u say start off every video saying “Hi everyone it’s Gail” & they way u say it is just too cute lol

[@jill_fritchleyklusoczky4293]

Made my very first ephemera along with you Gayle! The tiny envelope turned out soooooo cuuuuute! Your so inspiring & Love your Videos! Thank You!

[@aarahhaase6116]

I am following along as I can trying to gather up goodies to keep up ~ for this second part I think for me it's better to watch you do it all the way through and then go back and do it. Thanks Gayle ~ love new ideas!

[@1jmass]

I didn’t see it mentioned in the comments, but when you are using a trimmer to cut a narrow piece that is hard to hold, put the paper in from the other side. Now you can move it to the right measure mark and still have the rest of the paper to hold. Thanks for continuing to teach and inspire us.

[@penelope1322]

I use your videos as learning tools, I am hope to start making journals after we finish getting our basement set up. my husband is currently working from home and it looks like this might be a longer situation than we first thought.

[@delgadojmar]

How wonderful! 3 tucks from ONE envelope. I like the “trim” look of the 1/3 envelope. Looks great. Getting ready to duplicate it...Janet

[@mybrainymess]

I got so excited about this series that I had to make me an ephemera journal and started from the beginning and following making me some ephemera samples for my book.

[@vickiwhitsitt5918]

This series is great and you are so much fun, your videos are always a pleasure 😊

[@lisamorse-heinz2679]

I so appreciate this series! I am getting out of my ephemera funk!! Very fun.

[@sheilamcconkey7644]

thx so much! You always make me smile then laugh. I laugh at myself when I do something that is silly. . I was dressed and ready to go to work one morning then sprayed my hair with hairspray. however I picked up scrubbing bubbles by mistake. I looked in the mirror and my head had white foam all over it. So I thought how funny it would be to tell my kids what happened, then got back in the shower and started all over. I laughed a lot that morning.. I really enjoyed this project. it challenged me to try something I have never tried before. I am on a limited income and through your teaching I am finding ways to improvise. thank you so much..

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Sheila McConkey oh my gosh! That is the best story! Mom always said haste makes waste. Lol! Scrubbing Bubbles omg I’m just dying here! 😂😂😂❤️

[@patversteeg1667]

I'm watching 11:30 pm in bed w a cold, fascinated!!

[@tfntexas]

That was fun! I do think I would enjoy recreating different pieces, trying to get them as close as I could with what I had. I like this series!

[@tracielinz8385]

I am following along in the ephemera making, but I watch the videos at least twice. The first time is to process the technique and assess the supplies needed. It's just how my brain works. The second time watching I try to do it with you. I stop the video and back it up if I have to go over it again or just pause it if it takes me longer. Thank you for doing this series! I have lots of journals to fill up from when you (we, lol!) made covers!

[@donnadavis567]

So much fun and laughing this time I really like it

[@penelopemarshall6320]

More great ideas for envelopes, such pretty papers!

[@suzyallen1726]

That was fabulous. A little bit of everything. I wish I had a sewing machine.

[@taylormadejournals9662]

Always fun hanging out with you Gail !

[@veronicawhite398]

What gorgeous pockets, Gayle. In answer to your question, while watching you do your thing, I'm putting together my second proper journal for a dear friend - her go-to recipe book - and of course containing some favourite recipes I used to cook for her. I'm aiming for Christmas. 🤞😉

[@JupiterInTheWoods]

Those digital from Medieval Mirage are gorgeous! Also, I like this series!

[@pangeria12]

Needed this as in trying to fill out this fall and Christmas journal. That paper is gorgeous.

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

I love this series and I am making some the pieces along with you. Thank you for doing this series. 🌸💖🌸

[@sonjarossouw4240]

Gorgeous paper and super cool idea with the envelope. Love it!

[@dvp5627]

I'm taking notes and sketching everything out so I can have a pick and choose on my one day off a week! Love everything you do!

[@sherriejohnson508]

Love watching you and your ideas

[@scraplady51]

I am glad you are doing some videos on ephemera.I have a hard time putting things together. I don't make things exactly like yours, but it shows me how to put things together with my own pieces. I want to try sewing on my pages, but I have lots of doll clothes to make before Christmas and don't want to chance messing up my sewing machine! lol Keep the ephemera coming and have fun in Denver!

[@donnaseeton3568]

Love these little tuck spots.

[@chrisjerger7842]

enjoyed the ephemera today. Sometimes I craft with you and other times I save and do a craft when I am better prepared. Don't always watch from my craft area.

[@tuesdaymoriarty8655]

I love that you're going through all this ephemera and showing us how to do them. Thank you, Gayle! xx

[@SammiJarrad]

I’m saving the ideas for later. I do love to watch you re-create your happy mail gifts. It’s so much fun. Hugs! 😘💜💜

[@billiejoethomason6075]

I love making ephemera. It’s relaxing to me plus having ephemera stash makes me happy. I try to make mine like your but it always gets a new life of its own. My touch emerges as does yours.

[@beccacarrillo]

Instead of the bumbling crafter, today was the laughing crafter! I love that watching you create makes me smile and feel that I am looking over your shoulder in your craft room. Please don't ever start editing because real life is so much more fun! (These pieces of ephemera are lovely!)

[@rosiegarcia7664]

Love those ideas!!! Gayle you make journal making fun !!

[@annettedepete4314]

Love learning how to make new ephemera. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴

[@susangray6565]

Thank you so much, Gayle! I just found your videos this summer. Your ephemera ideas are wonderful. I have boxes and boxes of photos and old invoices, ledgers and other ancient stuff that were among my mother's things. She lived to be over 100 and never threw anything away. Instead of adding it all to the recycle bin I will now make truly memorable junk journals for all the family to share. I hadn't known that there was such a thing as junk journals before finding your videos. I'm hooked!

[@happymaker2243]

Enjoyed making the envelope tucks with you, but I just watched you make the beautiful tag inspired by Jeannie. I'll have to rewatch and try that one. Fun!

[@maggieflatt9686]

I like both pieces you made today, but especially the tucks. Love the Medieval Mirage paper. I don"t craft along with you, just watch. I figure I can always view the video again if need be to jog my memory.

[@Kpattee]

Following and watching, loving the ideas. 🥰🥰

[@marysternick5619]

I remember you being so excited for your upcoming appointment to get new glasses. Glad it worked out as well for your needle threading ability as you were hoping it would! 😂 👓 Totally empathize as I’m a fellow glasses-wearing crafter.

[@elizabethromanczuk8958]

I love all these ephemera ideas because I never know how to put things together....after cleaning my house, I'm going to start making these. Thank you for this series....helps a lot...

[@lauragaudry3402]

Looking good! I started crafting along with you Gayle but you left me in the dust! 🤣. Thanks for sharing.❤️

[@juliennebrendadevos6004]

Awesome job I just enjoy watching you put things together ,

[@janfranklin6604]

Fun, fun, fun!!❤️

[@janb2162]

I can't wait to dig out my stash of fabric "charms", 5" fabric squares.....I knew they would come in handy someday! ( 20 yrs later!) Yah, I have "stuff" on top of "stuff"!! You know what I mean? :)

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

Very nice! Enjoying this very much.

[@helengough4599]

Hi Gayle I usually watch what you do then copy to a point and put my own stamp on it but get the main idea from you 😊🤗

[@donnahunter3488]

I am enjoying watching you recreating the empherma. This is so much fun! ❤️

[@robinsismai9085]

so lovely Gayle!! I always love watching you craft. I'm watching this series for ideas. Thank you for sharing!!

[@SharonHoerth]

Thanks for doing these. So much fun!

[@yourmom-ro1tc]

I’m watching with adoration and scheming 😁

[@lynnsinclair123]

Great duplications, but with your own twist. I usually do another craft (or sit and drink my tea) while you're creating. Then I'll go back, gather materials, and try my hand at it.

[@creativespacejeannie279]

Love the look of the digital prints your using. Wow just noticed that the second project IS MINE so cool Gayle so cool 😎 Hugs

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yay, Jeannie! Thanks for saying so! I put all the great ideas in my idea journal/basket! Yours was so fun to make!! You know I love your style!! 😘❤️

[@theramblincrafter]

Oh good, I was hoping to know who made that! I’ll go subscribe to your channel! 😀

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Love your piece, Jeannie! 👍🏼🤗

[@marymitchell7879]

I am making an idea book. Watch videos and then I make them with you. thank you for this series. Hugs Mary.

[@Brocanteblanc]

Love these pockets.

[@louisavevers9709]

I'm doing while I'm watching! I had to wait until I had the space to follow (family wanting the telly etc), before I could start.... And in the end I just followed while sitting on my bed. (explanation : my crafting spot is in the lounge, that I share with hubby, adult daughter and her bf, and 11yr old son... So my quiet place is in my room on my bed, so that's where I craft along... If I can't get to play in the lounge)

[@Kbow412]

Oh Gail you crack me up :) I'm laughing right along with you ! I adore all of your creations

[@BarbSweetnam]

Hi Gayle. These videos are extremely helpful. Please, please make more!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Will do! ❤️

Love Clint and Chelle.

[@RosemaryMarisArt]

[@fraserkdm]

Loved this Gayle! I craft along on all of these. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m new to journaling so really appreciate all you do.

[@joannedonovan9489]

Thank you for this series, Gayle! I just made my "Sunflower Journal" out of a regular journal, & need to put ephemera in it! I can put belly bands, etc. in it by watching what you do!! And it was fun watching you with the pins!! I laughed, too!! Fun, fun!!

[@jeannieferdinande5805]

This journal is great to see all the different ways one can express their ideas on the pages of a book...happy mail items are great to share and show us them again to make in this idea journal...thanks and hugs ❤️🐇🐇🐇🐇

[@angelrose4968]

The Medieval papers are gorgeous and the Book Cover prints are too!!

[@jetwasik1648]

You’re showing how easy it can be to make ephemera. Thanx much. Love it!
