Envelope Hacks - Quick & Easy Projects!

[@Hazel_Fox22]

had a stroke last summer and lost the use of my dominant hand. i figured i'd never papercraft again. :( started watching more of your videos and actually got excited to try again. i even had my son pull out my sewing machine yesterday and tried making paper ruffles (really bad at first but it got better as i kept on.) now i can't wait to pull out a stack of envelopes to make some of these! thanks, natasha, for the inspiration to re-evaluate my skills as a one handed gal and get back to my obsession with junk journals and paper crafting!

[@MonaLisa-xc5dm]

A terrible stroke of fate that initially makes you sad, frustrated and desperate. I admire your courage and strength to stand up to it and try to master life with one hand. A great task and a blessing that you still have a capable hand. Paper crafting also often helps me to escape my depression. I am so grateful for that. It's such a versatile, creative job that fortunately doesn't require a lot of money, space or utensils. I hug you, dear "girl with one hand" (But that's not all you are! You are much more!), send you love and confidence and lots of joy in rediscovering crafting, mastering it anew and the patience you will need. How wonderful that you still have a hand with which you can achieve everything again that you have long been able to do with your dominant hand. Best wishes from the German Baltic coast 🌾💙🐚

[@NcSlocum]

Great job at your persistence. You can do this. Take your time and the results will be amazing. Prayers for you. ❤❤❤

[@Hazel_Fox22]

@@MonaLisa-xc5dm thank you so much for your love and encouragement! i was super depressed before the stroke and think that had a good amount to do with bringing it on. you keep playing with paper, ya hear me? we all need those little creative wins! sending all the best wishes right back to you!

Can we be neighbors and just make Treasure Books all day?! You are so creative and your videos are so motivating! Thank you!

[@JoanneVenneker]

You never talk too much. Love your humour and thankful that you share your talented ideas.

[@MonaLisa-xc5dm]

I agree 100% - no superfluous talk - the Natasa humour - Gratitude - absolute mega-talent ❤

Thank you so much 😀

[@kathyt3300]

Simple envelopes end up to be altered in mind bending ways! Yet "simple" in construction! Amazing!

[@janinem8409]

I ❤️ this. Never get enough. You started me on my paper craft journey.

[@jamieandrick3619]

Me too!

[@jamieandrick3619]

I search your channel all time.

[@tarajia695]

That we can both relate and agree on 🫶🏽🔥

[@Marjana1952]

Stunning! First of all you have a sense in choosing colors and then great ideas. My husband has passed away half a year ago and for about a year I have no power, no wish, no hope I only continue buying paper pads, dies. Seeing just the beginning of this video, I woke up, got a wish and will power and I will start now, just now. I can’t wait. I have so many envelopes from different hotels and some, like from Old Palace hotel in Dubai are just stunning. By the way I stayed in three quite luxurious hotels in Italy this summer and there were no letter pads nor envelopes. Saving after corona! Too bad! Thank you so much.

[@RusticJournals]

It amazes me how you come up with such creative ideas week after week, month after month etc, like you never run out of ideas. Its amazing. Id love to borrow your creative mind for a week, what fun Id have lol. Thank you for sharing them with us xx

[@HobbesRN]

I love, love, love your style, creativity and humor. I enjoy watching your videos. Not only do I get so much inspiration I also am entertained by your awesome personality. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. I now know what I'm going to make to hold gift money for my niece's wedding. I'm going to recycle her wedding invitation. Yay! PS: I bought your book (the spiral bound one) and love it! 💗

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

Wow! I was mesmerised by the abundance of envelope ideas! You always go the extra steps for our brains to function with ease. Thanks Natasha 😊 🫂 Denmark 🇩🇰 👍

[@estrelaverde]

Thanks, Natasa, for another inspiring video! 💝 A couple of years ago, I started watching your videos, and they inspired me to get back into crafting and create journals, which helped me fight against burnout and improve my mental health. I see that you put a lot of effort into making the best videos for us, and I wanted to say that I really appreciate that. 🤗 I hope you have a lovely weekend with your family. 🙏 Love from Brazil. 🇧🇷💚

[@microdot153]

No i did not know about doing search on your you tube home page to find specific items. I usually stream down through all areas to try and find something. Such a lifesaver !! I also started saving items to my favorites, but how you explained makes so much more sense. Thank you !! LOVE LOVE all these envelopes.

[@BindiSalton]

You tried double folded aluminium foil ... Cut h scissors to😊

[@alexiane250]

As others in my FB jj groups have said, your instructions are detailed, clear, and concise, you show us your thought process as you go, and your personality is quite likable!

[@patimakes9601]

I don’t think they can be used just for journals but as beautiful unusual Birthday cards as well.😊❤

I’m still trying to watch them all…I only found you about 2 months ago. Bless you for all the beauty you create and help others create! ❤❤❤ PS..on the cascading journal video…the gold shiny thing is for trying to warm people up from freezing or when in shock but I love how you use it! Brilliant ❤

[@briarwoodimp]

Perfect little make along project for the end of a day off that got hijacked by must-do's. I did the first little pocket using just-saved envelopes from Mom's birthday cards and created a spot in my journal for it while you made the rest. You asked for other ideas, so: I don't remember seeing it in any other videos of yours (or anyone else) but the first junk journal I made, back in about 2010, the instructor had us create a whole string of small envelopes that pulled out, all attached to each other by their flaps. Very interactive. It was a 6 day polymer clay doll workshop, the journal being a second project in which to collect memorabilia of the experience, so the envelopes held little ephemera from field trips, meals, or silly games we played or funny things people said.

[@rebeccabodine413]

I just started watching and I can already tell I want to make them all!

[@TreasureBooks]

Have fun!!!

[@tammymchenry3675]

We call them space blankets! Or emergency blankets.

This is wonderful! I made prototypes and instructions the second time I watched. Thank you for sharing and bless your talents!

[@trinacaraway1765]

Natasha, thank you for the wonderful video. One quick tip on using embossing folders...run them through the machine hinge end first or sideways if you have to. This orientation reduces the likelihood that you end up with 2 pieces of embossing folder instead of one folded piece!

[@pambotter355]

Natasha,absolutely love all these ideas! Always feel inspired but you! And love your little humor spots too. Thanks for all your inspirations! TFS! ❤

[@kristinediodati9782]

Thank you so much. A friend of mine just. Gave me 300+ envelopes. I felt overwhelmed… I did put two together and made a journal cover/journal… so now I have 298+ envelopes. Thanks to you I have numerous way to use them. Loved all the projects.

I truly LOVE your videos, you make me laugh too - which is always a bonus. You're a genius and you constantly keep us on our toes with new ideas. I really love everything you make. A while ago, you made some lovely small wallets and purses with plastic bags, that you ironed together. I wondered - have you ever thought of making handbags, clutch bags or cross-body bags with melted/ironed plastic bags? I've bee saving plastic bags for ages and might give that a go soon. Thank you for your brilliant tutorials I always look forward to seeing your new creations. Take care, and have a wonderful week ahead. xx❤❤😊😊

i was reading the comments and fully agree with everyone that you are fantastic! I read Hazeil's comment where she told about her stroke. I can relate, I had a brain bleed stroke where they told me i wouldn't get any of my facalities back. ijust want to give you and some others credit for keeping me engaged. i walk with a cane now and have finished a 7 signature book to hold ephemeria that i have made for other books that I want to make. this isn't as perfect as i would have demanded of myself before but it works and is my first book since my strokebigest win was setting 21 eyelets with limited use of my right hand. WOW! was that ever chalenging. Anyway, it haas been people like you that have kept me sane and working to get back some of my abilities. NEVER TAKE THE NEGATIVE COMMETS OF THE DOCTORS AS THE LAST WORD. As my daughter said when I was given really negative news "Mom they don't know you". But they do now:

[@roseapple8786]

Miss Natasa, I never knew about that search button. Now I can use it wherever I need to search for whatever. Thank you so much for that tip, I really do appreciate it, because I am not a computer whiz. When I was in school you had to go to the library and do your research through books. That lets you know how old I am🤣 (older than dirt). Every one of these envelope projects are absolutely beautiful and amazing at the same time. You create the most interesting journals with so many different items and I absolutely love them all. Thank you so much for sharing and God Bless you and your family. As for making one or two of these I will have to get some envelopes or maybe use the returns from the bills or what not. 🥰💖🦮💖🦮💖⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
