"Tub of goodness." Love it.

[@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! 😂💜☺️

[@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.

[@rebecarod1475]

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

[@joiedefi]

Hehe 💜🤗👍

[@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 🤭🤭

[@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!!👍😁💜

[@stitchin8]

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

[@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.

[@pauletteliddell2923]

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

[@sonjarossouw4240]

I miss you!!! Love these pockets. I have a lot of scraps that would be great for these.

[@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 👍💜

[@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!

[@TheTruckingScribe]

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

[@joiedefi]

Thank you!!💜

[@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 💜🌿

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

A work of art coming to life before our eyes! Amazing!

[@joiedefi]

Thanks so much Gaye 🤗❤️

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.....💜🤗👍

[@aspiretoinspireartscrafts6248]

Thank you for sharing how to transform torn envelopes into jjournal pockets. Beautiful work!

[@joiedefi]

Thank you!!💜💜

[@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!!👍🥰💜

[@prof.mommyarty]

Good morning honey 😁, I hope you're having a nice Sunday. Ooh, we all have those for free and less waste in the bin! Tub of goodness🙊 cute! I love the peacock😍. Yes I'm all for using what makes us happy😁. From trash to beautiful treasure in half an hour! 👏👏👏 such a versatile base for any style, splendid! Tfs and have a great week 💖💖💖

[@joiedefi]

You too!!! Yes indeed, let's use it up!!😁😁👍🌿💜

[@prof.mommyarty]

👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

These would make beautiful gift card packaging. 💡

[@joiedefi]

Good point!!👍🤓💜

[@joiedefi]

That's fantastic to hear, thanks very much!!👍😁💜

[@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!!!👍💜💜💜

[@TubeYouLena]

Great, so practical!!! I do not write old-fashioned way (i.e. using paper) and do not keep documents. I do it all digitally. So I was struggling with the ideas how to start this junk journal craft. And now I am motivated. I can just decide to rescue each and every junk envelop turning them into containers for pieces for future collages. In several years the envelopes can be emptied and bound into a gorgeous pocket book (meaningful gift?) for old photos, memorabilia, etc.

[@joiedefi]

That sounds perfect Lena!😁🌿💜
