I love how every time I thought you were done, you added more to the design. I have been saving the window envelopes by the dozens without a truly wonderful plan to use them. This is it!

[@pamelapettella4919]

I love the way you tear the old book pages after you have glued them down. I like the effect

[@ShanoukiArt]

[@gillianmilburn3712]

Oh I do like this. I think it would make a wonderful happy mail gift to someone.

[@susandeveaux4117]

Hi there, I recently came across your channel and love your work. You explain things so nicely and the main reason is because your voice is South African 🤗

Beautiful Shana , would be a great addition to my junk journal 💕

[@ShanoukiArt]

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Loved this altered envelope. I like the longer videos I learn so many tips from you as you go along. I have so much difficulty using envelopes because many see to have such weak folded edges they tear on me. Maybe the sewing would help Patti

[@ShanoukiArt]

❤️

[@danadaniels862]

Love love love your work, you teach me something every time. Sure appreciate you 💖

Love this! ❤️ Gotta try it soon. 👍🏼 Thank you! 🌷

[@ShanoukiArt]

Happy creating 🦋💕

[@juliannaboldt7152]

Great project! Maybe try removing plastic film first…then can dry with heat gun. The downside would be extra step to add the film back later but maybe worth it if the dry time is reduced? Happy crafting!

[@ShanoukiArt]

Good idea 💡💕

This is so gorgeous! What another lovely way to use envelopes with windows. I was going to order that calendar but could not find it on the web site, must be sold old. I must try this one. 😍

[@joannepeyton1654]

Hi Shana: Really love the way this came out. It’s a great way to recycle envelopes and use up ephemera pieces. I saved the video so I wouldn’t forget how to make it. BTW, you were right about not using that first postcard. This would really stand out in a journal or art page. TFS. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@ShanoukiArt]

❤️

[@bethmcclard5949]

Love it, and I love all of your wonderful ideas! I did most of FDC 1, and am caught up with FDC 2. So much fun! ❤️

[@ShanoukiArt]

💕

[@kristingieseking2270]

I had a thought... remove the clear window then decorate. Re-attach the window after using all the paints and inks are dry.

[@ShanoukiArt]

Great idea 💜

[@marusnak1113]

Thanks!

[@ShanoukiArt]

Wow! thank you so very much 😍

[@BindiSalton]

Mths ... Only now find out your in Australia.. yayyy... I'm in Townsville

[@mariapatriciachavez214]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Great

[@craftcreek4624]

This is lovely, thank you. Do you have a suggestion for a slimmer pocket from the window envelope please?

[@ShanoukiArt]

A tag holder perhaps or a specimen window 🤔

[@aussieyarning]

Thank you so much for all your inspiring videos. I first found out about you from Ceri. I am thrilled that you live in Australia so that I know I can find a lot of stuff you are talking about from either Spotlight or KMart. I am so jealous of the US people who have Joannes and Michaels and places like that. Where in Australia do you live? I am in NSW near Newcastle.

[@ShanoukiArt]

Thank you, I am in Melbourne ❤

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

Hi! I love watchIing your videos and have learned a lot. I am trying to learn vintage style mixed media techniques to use in my collages and I have learned a lot watching your videos. I am excited to try this out and even bough the color burst powder ink, I also like the mixture of vintage browns with the turquoise and I hope it is alright to use your techniqes. , .

[@ShanoukiArt]

Thank you so much, and it’s definitely alright, that is why I share my work and explain what I do 😉 happy creating 🦋

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

@@ShanoukiArt Thanks Shana! I believe your name is Shana. I bought the powdered ink and am looking forward to it arriving.

[@ShanoukiArt]

@@JulianaBeasley1967 thank you and it is Shana, pronounced like banana 😂 oh lovely, happy creating 🦋
