[@debbiebreen6276]

I'm a big fan of Pinterest. Sometimes you can just eyeball projects and then they turn out completely different. This is so nice and vintage looking. Nice to make and put into a family tree album.

[@charleneottinger4735]

Love it!!! You help us so much with these easy projects! Thank you.

[@adhita88]

Loved the three envelopes! These Pinterest inspired videos are always very interesting because you give them your own style, you don't copy directly.

[@ebknight74]

When glueing intricate die cuts I usually squeeze a small amount of glue onto my craft mat and then dab it on with a makeup sponge or craft sponge. You get a nice even coat with less squishing. 😊

[@49dragonflies]

Great tip, thanks! 🙏🏻

[@SandysArt-cx5ek]

Beautiful and very different way to make envelopes. Loved these Barbara. 😍

[@machellesnow4214]

Love❤ that tip because I have issues with some dies cutting all the way through the paper.

[@lindapark8467]

I love the idea of fabric envelopes!

[@brittneystill4169]

The first one would make a fantastic cover piece for a wedding junk journal or memories book!!

[@julietrivilino2401]

Barbara, I love these Pinterest envelopes that you created. I’m going to try these. What a cute way to send happy mail. I really appreciate that you created one with paper as well as the fabric ones. This encourages me to think outside the box❤

[@LynneWilliams101]

Barbara, I love when you create Pinterest inspired videos. Thank you so much. x

[@cindycreateforlife]

I have always put my dies cutting side up, then paper and then the top plate. If it is an intricate die I put a book paper or any thin paper over my ‘good’ paper to prevent the scratched up top plate from marking it. Often the book page pieces are an added bonus! Love when you do Pinterest inspired projects, I love to do that too! 💕🇨🇦

[@stefanie006]

Barbara, you crack me up😂 I laugh out loud when you talk to yourself😅. Soooo many choices!!

[@machellesnow4214]

I love the Pinterest inspired projects too. Nah uh perfectionist Barbara. You do what you want. Lol.

[@denisejohnson8055]

I just want to say I watched your problem video in the library and got the eye because I laughed so loud! I do love your long hair!!!

[@49dragonflies]

Pls don’t get in trouble at the library 🤭❤️

[@denisejohnson8055]

@49dragonflies heeheehee

[@SharonSchuman-x6h]

I am so glad you do this because I'm too lazy to look at projects on Pinterest. I love these envelopes because they ARE simple and versatile. Watching you create these inspires me to us all that material I've been collecting. Thanks!

[@fernanton8370]

Happy Thursday Barbara, amazing! I loved all three envelopes. I couldn’t choose just one. Blessings for a peaceful weekend . 💝💞💝

[@juliemills5134]

What a fabulous idea Barbara !! Thank you so much for sharing your take on the original….LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all three of them. Hugs….Julie 🤗🤗❤🇦🇺

[@juliemonroe105]

These are wonderful, Barbara. I could see bunched up gold metallic thread under that butterfly. Maybe it needs gold splatters since you cant add the thread. Really loved this share!!

[@vickilimbocker2505]

Love these Pinterest inspired videos. I learn so much watching you figure it out.

[@grenaesjournals2726]

Will definitely be trying this one! I wonder if leftover charm pack pieces of fabric would work?? It would be a great project for larger scraps. Also might be a good way to use up some napkins either on the inside or outside . . . So many ideas!! Thanks for the inspiration and instructions ❤

[@PeterMurphy-c8i]

This is such a precious project I’m going to use this for a card I will attempt to make for a wedding ! I would love to see you do more of your Pinterest saves as tutorials

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

Oh Barbara, I just love this Pinterest inspired series! 🤗 You always make it look like it’s doable. I hope you never stop showing your “oh no’s“. They help so much for those of us who make a lot of them 😂 But more importantly, we learn how to fix them! But no, I don’t think I would’ve had the patience to brush all those little lines off. But it turned out fabulous! You are such an amazing and inspiring artist! Hugs ❤️🤗

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@wendyk2557]

I love this series of Pinterest Inspired!

[@klaire74]

So beautiful, all three! I love the combination of fabric and paper, so tactile. I knew why i love this series, your interpretation is always amazing!♥♥♥

[@carolm4094]

Love all three envelopes. Fun ideas. Yes, definitely trying.

[@Broglia123]

Barbara they are all absolutely beautiful ❤

[@debbytowers6416]

The first one was my favourite but I really admire your patience with the embossing powder 😂. This is a very lovely project thank you for sharing ❤ xxx

[@Mommyoffive4Him]

Love the fabric envelopes....definitely going to give this a try!!

[@wrenbayley]

Yes! I think these is my new favorite series. I k ow it isn’t a new series to your channel, I’m just saying it’s what I’m really into right now.

[@stephanieh7967]

❤ Excellent! Can’t wait to try! Also appreciate the dye cut tips!

[@MaureenAstrid]

❤ love all the envelopes sweetie, such a nice idea to have 3 totally different ones, but from the same idea. ❤

[@sandikalin636]

I love these so much. Thanks Barbara for sharing have a great weekend 💙💙💙

[@toniscott1029]

The envelopes are beautiful 😍

[@brendabugelli4963]

Hello Barabara, these envelopes are gorgeous, I always enjoy watching your Pinterest inspirations, will definitely make one, thank you!!! b🦋

[@christelvaneyssen7548]

[@poppydaniels9855]

Love all three envelopes 🎉thanks Barbara ❤

[@simone9623]

Beautiful envelopes, for sure something to try out. ❤

[@christisartworld]

Ooooohhhhh, diese Kuverts werde ich ganz sicher auch machen, wie schön die sind und sehr einfach gemacht. Danke Barbara. GLG von Christine😘😘

[@gaynortaylor3840]

Love all three envelopes, such a fun video.

[@phague85]

I just bought several fat quarters of fabric and these envelopes will be a great way to use that! What great timing

[@teresabrown9111]

These are gorgeous , I can’t wait to make some for myself!

[@pauleycowburn723]

Love Love Love......what a great idea!🙏❤

[@laquenopinta]

I really liked this project. I've done something similar on paper, but the fabric bit looks like fun. By the way, that last envelope has so many spooky vibes.

[@sherrrysparklynn]

Love this project, especially using the napkin on the fabric. My printer won't print on fabric or canvas so this is a great alternative Thanks Barbara.

[@pambotter355]

Gorgeous Barbara! Yes I will be trying it. TFS!❤

[@acknims]

More inspiration! Thanks. I will use it for my book of sadness, hubby will go into the envelope

[@heathersullivan8494]

Love love love these Barbara!! Wonderful inspiration!! I’m going to make one for my memory journal. ❤😊

[@annemillion1501]

One of my favorites, the Pinterest Inspired project. Love these envelopes and I actually made one while watching your video.

[@49dragonflies]

Yay! 😃❤️

[@JanalynnM]

Very beautiful all of them I am going to try one on cloth tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing. I really like how your perfection comes out and you talk about it and how you work through your decisions.

[@ddmattin]

Love these! And thanks for the the tips for uncooperative dies!

[@susanmorales8675]

Absolutely I am going to try these - tonight! They are so cute. I just love it when you do Pinterest stuff. Thanks, Barbara.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks and have fun with these! 😃❤️

[@peggydid]

Barbara, on the butterflies that don't come out well, try putting a piece of wax paper between the die and the paper. Then run it through. I did that with delicate snowflakes recently, and it worked real well for getting them out.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the tips! ❤️🙏🏻

[@PeterMurphy-c8i]

You did a great job brushing the excess powder away!

[@risamateo8003]

These came out great! Now i follow your Pinterest board, thank you for always inspiring

[@maritaranda7782]

Love all three envelopes😍

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

Great project. Love all three. ❤

[@anitabarker3125]

❤the way the envelopes were made. Easy. Will make.

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun! 😃❤️

[@tinaknoell2401]

The red, gold, and black leaned very Asian. They turned out beautifully!

[@patriciajordan4671]

Thanks for sharing the die cut tips 👍🏽

[@JamieRoseDesigns]

Yes, I will be trying these! Thank you for the inspiration ❤️❤️

[@dede-vintage-art]

Gorgeous envelopes loved each one of them 😍 for the die cuts with lots of details to be removed you gotta get the brush roller I think it’s name, you put your cut paper on something soft like mouse pad, and you roll that on it, all the details will get off super easily

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@LindaHook-m3h]

Absolutely Beautiful!! Love it❤ l am doing a very special journal about my mum who died when l was a child. I want the future generations to know about her and this will be a wonderful edition to add. I have been following your soft cover demonstration taking you many times into my craft room which was hilarious... add gold splatters l kept hearing!! Thank you BARBARA l have been inspired by YOU.. and LEARNT SO MUCH.❤❤❤

[@49dragonflies]

Yay! So happy this was helpful ☺️. Love that you are making this special journal ❤️

[@CanadaFree.6014]

Adorable envelopes😊

[@myhappyspace4533]

Love the envelopes

[@susananderson8428]

It's such an easy way to make an envelope (or at least you make it look easy!). I just received some fun swap/happy mail, and some pieces would be perfect for making these. APGJamie would say, "Serendipitous!" Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@dorafazekas9529]

This is really something that looks easy and promises a good result. (-: Thank you!

[@GloriaSkipper]

Absolutely beautiful! I love it so much!🫶🏼

[@GloriaSkipper]

It would make a perfect journal topper!

[@theresaconway-hayes]

Stampin Up sells an embossing buddy or they used to. It helps to avoid static when working with embossing powders and heat embossing.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@juliebycousucousin1421]

Hello Barbara 😊 i love it it's à beautiful ideas ❤ thank you so much

[@dianneyoung8602]

Love this!❤❤❤❤❤

[@sherrydennis2419]

These are beautiful! I def will be trying this.

[@petriekaspardlov7787]

Super pretty!

[@matildaenlund6679]

This makes me want to fly home right now to make some envelopes!! But… it’s not time yet! ❤❤❤

[@fleurdeb7803]

Hey, Barbara. My fave was the red envelope with butterflies. It would probably be popular during Chinese New Year, when grandparents give the little ones currency in red envelopes. Traditionally the envelopes are embossed in gold with kanji messages, but this would certainly add deeply meaningful symbolism. Plus I liked the butterflies' two colorways. And I feel the embossing treatment on the circles could be done three ways, some left alone, some partly cleaned up, some completely cleaned up, sort of a compromise. I love the simplicity of making your own envelopes without the punch board, just start with a simple square and work forward from there. You always bring so much inspiration to the table. I don't have all your toys and supplies, but looking forward to trying this using my own stash. Thanks for this post. 💖

[@willemiensloetjes2980]

I want to try this immediately 🎉

[@littleskipperdaycare]

I love this. Thanks for sharing

[@JunkJournalFlavi]

Drei so unterschiedliche Ergebnisse und alle drei sind fantastisch geworden 🥰 Das werde ich auf alle Fälle auch mal machen ☺️ Liebe Grüße Anke 🤗

[@49dragonflies]

Vielen lieben Dank und viel Vergnügen 😃❤️

[@vickicoatney3062]

Love these - I have so much fabric I’m definitely going to have to try!

[@49dragonflies]

Have fun! 😃❤️

[@artistgrly]

Love those!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@patricialaine319]

These turned out beautifully Barbara, and I love the tip with rubbing the spoon on the back of the die, if it hasn't cut through properly. I must try that. 🙂 Also, if you have some drier sheets on hand and rub one on the cutting edge of the die before you run it through your Big Shot, the die cut image will literally fall out of the die!! I have been using that trick for years, and it has never failed. This works especially well with intricate dies. 😀

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the tips! ❤️

[@louloufabrique]

Cute enveloppes. Merci 😀

[@holyxuxa]

I will try this, thanks for the inspiration!

[@Gehtdichnixan876]

[@cathywelch1898]

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Thoe turned out beautifully and I need to make some cards and envelopes for "cards for kindness" for Tanya@sidegigcrafts collaboration. TFS 😊

[@rhodanicholson5018]

Ok…..gotta go get my basket….I even know where it is…..and I am going to empty some small pieces of Christmas into it……..thank you soooooo much. This will help.

[@TubeYouLena]

[@claireskey5439]

Dear Barbara ❤, I also love your Pinterest inspired videos. Thanks for letting us know you're over there. Suggestion, you could draw a❤ on the fabric with lead pencil then use that as a stitch guide.❤❤🇦🇺

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the tip! ❤️

[@claireskey5439]

​@49dragonflies you're most welcome, hope it helps. ❤🇦🇺

[@Poohtle]

I have some old fashioned looking photo images from a Tim Holtz pack. They will be perfect for this

[@Poohtle]

Also you can make your own faux tissue papers with deli paper, stamps and ink

[@CherrySignature3]

Stunning
