[@andreaharley4047]

Thankyou joie.you are a brilliant teacher, you dont over talk, you are steady and explain very clearly. Amazingly good idea for tatty envelopes. 👍👍👍

[@joiedefi]

Wow, thanks so much!!👍😁💜

[@janeenrodgers5993]

Now I know what to do with my torn envelopes. I love your style. It is fresh and vibrant. It always makes me smile.

[@joiedefi]

That's fabulous!!!😁👍💜💜💜

[@emmkaa2099]

😁😁😁😁 I was missing "scruffify" and you just threw me a "scriffy"... I feel better now, thank you. 😉

[@joiedefi]

I think you'll find an entry for that in next year's new dictionary 🤭🤭

[@journalpathways]

Love "robustness" 😂. I typically just say integrity. Your voice is easy on the ears.

[@hollylapinski3328]

These are really amazing!!! I was just reminding my husband to take more care when opening the mail so it doesn't tear. With this project it doesn't matter! 😂💜☺️

[@SallyFox-k9w]

Just saw this video; no more will I throw those torn envelopes away,!!! Thank you for this inspiration 😊

[@joiedefi]

You're very welcome!!!!

[@lindalawson6406]

I am working on envelopes now...... Just watched your torn envelope pockets.. You are wonderful with all of your ideas. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@stitchin8]

Ah, that stitching tip at the end! These are great!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

December 4...2023..making pockets for my journals. ⛄🎄🦌🦌❤

[@AmberGarrett-py6ry]

Can't believe how many of these torn envelopes I have tossed. Had I been using all these envelopes over the years, I could have probably saved a tree. Thank you for your ingenuity.

[@rebecarod1475]

Watched it again and still in awe at how you so often tear paper in straight lines.

[@joiedefi]

Hehe 💜🤗👍

[@SusuWorld-dy3pq]

"Tub of goodness." Love it.

[@TheTruckingScribe]

I love these pocket envelopes. The closure adds to the design. 💜💜💜

[@joiedefi]

Thank you!!💜

[@janetanderson8719]

That looks like a fun project to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon! Make maybe four or five at a time to be ready when they are needed!

[@AntoinettesGranddaughter]

Tub of goodness. I love that. I have bins of goodness. And I've saved so many envelopes. It's about time to do something with them. Blessings.

[@emmkaa2099]

"...it's what I like, it makes me happy... so that's what I do". In junk journaling as in life! Wish I'd figured THAT out sooner! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I love your videos - your instructions are so concise! XOX girlfriend! EMS ♥️🤗😁🏜

[@joiedefi]

XXXXXX hehe 👍💜

[@NDW1955]

On several of your videos - including this one - I have paused the video and grabbed my supplies to craft along with you, as I am watching. I don't think I have ever done that before. You are also my go-to KZbinr when I hear about a new idea. (most recently a masterboard) I will search for the term on your channel, so I can get clear, concise instructions. I am a fan of your work.

[@joiedefi]

That is such awesome feedback Neva.... thank you for helping me to keep going just as I am... Your kind words are very much appreciated!! 🌿💜👍

[@izzabellamargaretrhodes5800]

Hello my name is Izzabella and I’m loving your pages as I have heart problems and I could go to the great junk journal in the sky so I am sorting out my paperwork and I am saving all of the envelopes and pictures I like and your pages are giving me so many ideas Thank you so much Love as always from Milton Keynes UK

[@joiedefi]

Sending you best wishes Izzabella.... I'm so pleased that you are enjoying the ideas in my videos. Take care of yourself!!! Joie 💜🌿

Thanks Jacqueline

[@pjaneheil]

Oh my goodness, and here I've been just tossing the badly tattered envelopes in the trash, now I know better, you are truly a mentor, and inspiration of new ideas 💡, I love ur channel ❤❤❤

[@joiedefi]

That's fantastic Gaye, I will keep sharing the process steps. Great to have you here, I really appreciate it!!💜🤓👍

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

These would make beautiful gift card packaging. 💡

[@joiedefi]

Good point!!👍🤓💜

[@marilynmccormick3731]

Thank you. I have saved a LOT more envelopes than I've used, so this was a good reminder of ways to use more of them. I did make an entire small, personal journal using only bank envelopes, (except the cover) which turned out very well.

[@MelissaS-ArtnSoul]

This is fabulous! I love how simple & easy, yet absolutely gorgeous these are!!

[@susancottman9686]

Watching this again as a refresher. So glad you're back. I love the journal cards you did recently. I do hope you're feeling better!

[@joiedefi]

Thanks, I've made a little bit of progress.....💜🤗👍

You are such a great tutor Joie! I really enjoyed watching you create this lovely pocket ❤ you make it look doable 😊 definitely going to make some of these. I have a lot of envelopes (far too many in fact lol 🤭😄)

[@juliasatterwhite9835]

Awesome pockets I love the way you covered and reinforced the torn and tatty edges! Thank you so much for this great tutorial! Have an awesome rest of your day! God bless! Love hugs and prayers my friend! ✝️😇💜🤗🙏✝️

[@joiedefi]

Thanks so much Julia!!💜💜💜

[@pauletteliddell2923]

These were fun to watch and make. Something pretty has been made out of junk mail Thanks again Joie. I'm having a good time. Stay safe and continue to be encouraged. 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Yet praying for you every day.

[@shellylucas5999]

I found this video most inspiring and enjoyable! I am new to your channel, Joie, and I just LOVE your style and ideas. And let's face it....we can never have too many ideas for those tattered junk mail envelopes. Thank you so much sharing this, Joie. ❤❤❤

[@motherofdogs27]

LOVE this idea. I’ve used envelopes as bases for pockets, but this is a new idea (to me, at least) so that’s FABULOUS!! I have a 2 inch stack of saved envelopes and was wondering what i was going to do with them all! I also have a huge stack of those annoying magazine subscription cards from all the magazines I was getting and will use those as the bases for tags and journal cards because they are a great “weight”….very much like a light card stock. Keep the great ideas coming, Joie!

[@joiedefi]

I'll do my best!!! New idea coming again this week....get your book pages ready, and there might be a space for your tags!!👍🥰💜

[@lisamorales3914]

Truly enjoy your videos. You don’t get overly personal but just enough. Your instructions are explained well but not overly repetitive. Your enthusiasm is and willingness to share is wholeheartedly appreciated. ❤️

[@joiedefi]

Aww Lisa, such heartwarming feedback....I so, so appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️

[@MsLouisVee]

I enjoy her focused and let’s get to the point bullet style of presentation. no talking about life stories, children stories, and everything else blah blah blah blah. I click off when they start talking about their lives.

[@kimberlyhoward7896]

I have a lot of torn envelopes☺️! Between our business and home bills. I could not only make the pockets for journals, but the journals to put them in. I need to really have fun with all my supplies 😊! Thank you for sharing, take care 🤗💕!

[@joiedefi]

That sounds great, lots to go at!!❤️👍😁

[@pauletteliddell2923]

[@janhulse9518]

just went and watched the paper painting video. so cool. even dummies like myself ,who have no artistic genes can do this. found the paints here in Australia. love that they are non toxic and water based.

[@karenbahama2524]

I enjoyed, am enjoying, making these envelope pockets! They are a great use of scraps and are fun to make. I believe you are correct in saying that you are receiving less and less envelopes in the mail as many companies transition to paperless; therefore, I will start saving as many as I can. I look forward to each and every video you upload! Thx for all you do, Joie!

[@joiedefi]

What a fabulous note for me to read, thanks for your wonderful feedback!!!👍💜💜💜

It was such a soothing and creative video!!! I enjoyed every minute of it! Could you make a video about the same idea but with A4 envelopes? I get them regularly and don't know what to do with them. Or did I miss a video of yours about it?

[@joiedefi]

That's a really interesting idea. Let me have a think about this Magdolna!!👍😁💜💜💜

Genius!! I laughed as you tore the paper to put in window because I do that and it tears the picture I wanted!😂
