1st time watching you. Recommended by Ceri the Crafter. He speaks highly of you.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Ceri is a great guy and a good friend. Thanks for coming over. 💙

[@EddieMakesArt]

I've watched this 3 times today. I think I got the flips and flaps down 😂

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

🤣 Thanks for the watch time 😜♥️

[@CeriGriffiths]

[@susanasilva2737]

Oh 😮 it was amazing watch you make that journal. Of course we want to see more ❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@devonrex4]

Great happy mail from Eddie! Awesome painty floppy flappy envelope journal Darcy! 💖

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks so much 😊

[@marshamarkle7765]

Looks complicated but you are confident and competent!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I think I'll have to do a simplified one and break it down for folks. I have a way of making things look more difficult than they are. Either that or my brain just works differently. Thanks for watching. ❤️

[@karver3440]

Great envelope journal, beautiful prints too😊

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks, hun. ❤️

[@pattimcclelland6635]

My Baby is also 23, and loves to scare me... Ah! these kids. i love watching you make this so fast!, I am encouraged to go make one now... maybe two or three, to pass on to my friends. Thank you! (I came here because of CERI, the Crafter). You are a HOOT!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Welcome! Fortunately my "baby" doesn't love to scare me, but he is amused when it happens.

[@susanbilyeu22]

Wowzer, what a neat journal. I'll be better about saving envelopes, but I think I'd have to tackle this in baby bites! Very cool!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you. 💜

[@artcuriousbymnw]

Very creative, thank you for sharing Darcy❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you, Myriam ❤️

[@MossCottageMarket]

I love this flippy-floppy envelope journal. I can definitely see me making one of these in the near future! I love your gel prints too! 🩷🩷🩷

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks so much! I'll be sure to watch whenever you make yours.

[@ninniank9650]

I would love to see the process of covering the rest 😊

[@lizannebutner876]

Ceri mentions you often, but when he said you made an envelope journal I had to come see....so glad I did!! Thanks for sharing and you just gained a new sub! 😀

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks for coming over. 💖

[@TubeYouLena]

i love the project!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks you ❤️

[@PMartistStudio]

This is so cool! Awesome happy mail and swap material. I love this and might have to try it ❤ also loved the “if you have PM artist Studio stencils you have Aqueous” 😂

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks so much! ❤️😁

[@deloriscobb923]

Darcy today is my first day watching you because I watch Ceri and Meriah and they are making this journal. So they said to watch where they got their inspiration. Good job enjoyed immensely!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@annina_pure_creativity]

Wow so pretty, idea, the normal size envelope the tall one we don't use here in Switzerland a lot, we can buy them yes for about 14 dollars a pack. Maybe one day find a way to get some cheaper, keeping my eyes now at fleemarket open. Will definitley try this type of journal. Enjoyed watching!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Just use what you have. You can use paper to make envelopes the size you want. 😊

[@AliceGoesNomad]

✨💖✨

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

🥰♥️

[@BlackDogDesigns]

I love making Flip Flop Journals with envelopes, that turned out great Darcy🩷🩵🤍

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you, Shary 💙

[@evelynrauseo467]

This is absolutely brilliant! I am going to do this as soon as possible. Ceri sent me over, of course I hit the subscribe button. I see lots of new inspiration heading my way. TFS 🙏🥰

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks for coming over to ❤️

[@christyhartman]

I’ve been interested in this envelope idea. Beautiful journal and such a creative idea. You may have inspired me to try my hand at this. Thank you.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Go for it! ♥️

[@joannedonovan9489]

Hi there! Ceri sent me over to you. I'm making Louise Heintzel's Envelope Notebooks for Christmas this year. (I'm doing a bunch, & started last year! I may need another year!!)

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Welcome! Have fun creating ♥️

[@artcuriousbymnw]

Watching again, because tomorrow I’m finally going to try it in my livestream😂 as usual enjoying it Darcy❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks ♥️ Have fun!

[@moonpixyart4562]

Ceri sent me here much to my delight. I too gram sat. Loved those times. Enjoyed your talent, new subscriber. ❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks so much! ♥️ Welcome! 💙 I'm looking forward to my time with Gram next week. ☺️

[@BethSchuler]

Hi DARCY IM GOING TO HAVETO TRY THIS TY 💙

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Have fun! ❤️

[@robinpowell2712]

That was enjoyable. Lovely papers 🎉

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you ♥️

[@robinpowell2712]

Yes, i want to see the whole process 🎉

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

That's 1, but it's an important 1. ❤️

[@julieparker1114]

Wow, that looks great. I am more like Ceri, and do not seem to be able to put something together without thinking about it for ages and having a plan. I need to practice your method of quick slap it on. Feels like torture sometimes, lol. Maybe that's why I have so many unfinished projects. 😂Amazing, isn't it how different everyone is. It makes it so fascinating.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

And there's no wrong way to approach it. When you see Ceri's videos, they may resonate more with how you do things. Hugs ♥️

[@julieparker1114]

@DarcysMixedMedia thankyou Darcy, yes but not as precise.

[@susananderson8428]

Yep! I need the whole process! Are the envelopes just pages or are they supposed to be pockets or just some of them will be pockets. Too much flipping and folding for me to figure it out!! I love the colors. You obviously colored some first. Are you just collaging the plain envelopes and will do more decorating or will there be even more decorating on the colored envelopes? Yep, I need the whole enchilada (process)! Love it so far. I have so many envelopes but I need to decide if I want to color them or collage first or if I want to put everything together, then collage and/ or color or do like yours and have some plain, some colored, and figure it out as I go!! So many decisions. TFS. Keep us "in the loop. ❤❤❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

The second video is out. I still have to do a video cutting the envelopes to make pockets.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I think Ceri will be doing one where he paints the envelopes. Keep an eye out for that one. 😊

[@ninniank9650]

Watching the process of making the journal helped me understand how to make it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and gift of creating.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks for watching and for commenting. It helps me to know what helps you. 😊♥️

[@Judymontel]

I just found you over from Ceri the Crafter and am intrigued. But the structure of why your pockets will still be open because of the way you're gluing them escapes me. I'm currently working on a crochet project called a "Felix Blanket" that also has structural (but genius) elements that challenge me, so I'm curious to follow this through and learn more. I love the freedom of using the different types of envelopes!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Oh! I haven't made the pockets yet! Oh my goodness gracious. When I do (soon I hope), it should all become clear.

[@Judymontel]

@@DarcysMixedMedia I was pretty tired watching it. In the middle of the night I realized "ohhhhh - she's going to open the pocket from a different point" - and you even said so in the video!! But it will be much easier once I see how you do it!

[@debbiesavage7107]

Yes, please, more on the envelopes. ❤❤❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I'm editing it now. 😊

[@joycemaureroriginal8563]

You do realize you've created probably hundreds of monsters? Maybe more? EVERYONE is doing this now LOL! Thank you.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Lol 🤣 I'm good with that 😉

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

OMG how did you know I was secretly making envelope junk journals?! I found a new channel and she made cute ones so I have been perfecting it before I record it. I know I know, not winging it for once 😂 so fun! Thanks for showing your version! Your happy mail was FUN! TFS! 💜🦄🐓

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I did not know, but I'll be watching it when it comes out. ♥️

[@rainbow_rising]

So awesome to swatch - love all of it!❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much 💙

[@robinpowell2712]

Fun!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
