Christmas junk journal collage window envelopes 

I love when you collage window envelopes. Thanks for sharing🌴😍

Good morning..... I hope you never get tired of hearing how brilliant you are.

Thanks for so many new ideas for envelopes. We get so much junk mail, it’ll be fun to use it rather than trashing it. The flap ideas sir sewing the envelopes into the signature is so perfect. And thanks for the example of cutting the window in the page. It beats tracing paper. Hugs

And I am so excited about the straw paper, too! 😊

Unbelievably AWESOME!!!!!!!

The stamps look great on those envelopes. 🙌🥇

Thank you Rachel, I sure enjoyed watching you create! Very inspiring!! 💜💜💜

Beautiful envelopes made with your gorgeous kits! Wonderful job!

As always so creative. Thank you.

Thank heavens we get junk mail...what an excellent paper source for ephemera. All the envelopes turned out beautifully.🥰❤️ hope the illness at Lulu’s school is NOT the unmentionable!🙏❤️

Those are wonderful. So calming watching you decide what papers to use. Hoping everything goes well in the schools💖💖💖

Thanks so much, I really look forward to viewing your videos. So lovely and creative Rachel ⭐️ I’m keen to start making a Christmas journal and your ideas are fantastic. Between you and Gayle I’m spoilt for choice woohoo!

Lovely as always Rhachel🌲🎅🌲

I hadn't thought to add hinges to envelopes, awesome!

I’ve said it so many times, Rach, but I could watch you collage for hours. Thanks so much for this! ❤️

I am so happy that you are doing Christmas journals. Love the window envelopes. TFS

LOVELY PAPERS-TFS=HUGS/BLESSINGS

Great ideas Rache! Love the bigger windows the Italian mailers seem to have. As always, thankyou 😊❤️🇦🇺🎄xxx

New plan -- if I knew how, I'd cancel previous comment. I didn't feel like looking for the stylist, so I get these size envelopes in the mail all the time, I just popped the cellophane out of one of the windows and drew around it and made a template -- your method works just fine, too !!

I do like the saved stamped area to reuse. I've been covering them.

I just love to watch you cut😂. For some reason I can't cut a straight line to save my life, but I also can't fussy cut 😕

You are such an inspiration! Many thanks for sharing your artistic talents - such lovely creations with a touch of whimsy (the perfect combination)!

Love these! Thanks for sharing

Love the why you put the JJ envelopes together.

I received the most beautiful, rich, lovely Christmas papers from your Etsy today. They are so pretty and I love how they feel. I may hoard them for awhile! Thank you so much for sharing such treasures. ❤️❤️

Very pretty.

Awesome ideas, thank you!

They look good!

love your envelopes Rachel. If i cover a window envelope, before gluing the envelope back together, i hold the envelope against the window with the paper to cover it on top and trace the window (if that makes sense) xx

Thank you so much 😊. This has been very helpful!

I’ve been saving these envelopes. I’m ready to get busy. Oh no a boo boo alert. Lol I nearly coked on my coffee laughing.

you do such nice elements, love them all...your papers are gorgeous

Love these!! Tfs 💞

Love these! Another idea for me to try! Tfs X x

Lovely, I can't wait to see them go into a journal.

Brilliantly done, Rachel, as always. Hugs, Carol xo

I swear your collaged envelopes look so much better than mine. Those are lovely!

Oh Rachel, this Christmas digital is just beautiful and I love how you always show the way to use your scraps to their best advantage. Stay well

Beautiful envelopes Rachel! Everything you do is gorgeous... Loving the Christmas series!!

I ordered & received my Italian Florentine & Christmas paper from Rachel & it is even yummier in person!! I want to hoard it but should make journals with it 😊 Maybe I’ll hoard it for just a bit 😆

Loved that you did these today. Been ages since I did a window envelope. Tfs Rachel. Hugs xx

Really cute pages Rachel! But I'm over here thinking it would also be so cool to keep the already red postal stampings on these envelope pages, right? Since they're Italian and beautiful as welk, and would fit in any Christmas journal! Just a thought. 😊

Thank you, the window envelopes we get her in England are generally A5 in shape and size, we don’t get those longer thinner ones you seem to get in Italy. I’ll have to adapt your ideas. Fingers crossed on the illness at Lulu’s school.

Near the end at about 48:01, where you're trying to outline the window on the exterior envelope -- I have that same issue, but as you were doing it, it occurred to me -- I have one somewhere around here -- do you have a stylist, I think they're called -- the tool that has a ball on the bottom -- you could easily use that to go around the window interior and not rip the paper. Just a suggestion -- your Christmas paper is lovely.

Hello Rachel, the pattern of the red is my favorite. Is it in your shop and I’m not seeing it, hugs🤗

Love these, thank you. Where can a get the large metal ruler?

good lord ! I'm at about 7:15 -- we have a relatively small "international" airport here in Richmond -- what that means is: catch a smaller jet and change to the big ones in either Atlanta, Chicago or NYC -- but the sound of that jet was huge -- do you have the big big jets flying near where you live? I adore airplanes. Before our president went to London last fall, I think -- pre-YKW -- they were flying the big military transports with him to carry over the bullet-proof cars and Melania's wardrobe suitcases -- if I looked like that and could afford it, I'd be waring them, too, and they used our city to practice flying over because it was similar in area, or something, to London. It's the huge huge Galaxy plane -- I didn't know they were doing that, for some reason, I was not notified or on the presidential "need to know" list -- go figure -- but that plane was so big, it was flying really low, it had just taken off, and it was longer than the parking lot -- or car park to the UK folks-- from the road to the shopping center stores -- which is huge. It was an absolute thrill. Before YKW, we hosted Nascar, and at every nascar race, they have military planes fly over, and we've seen some beauties -- vintage bombers, vintage bi-planes in formation -- just thrilling -- you lead such an amazing life. How did the Divine Miss L like her new jammies? I love getting new pj's -- and big airplanes and your lovely videos making lovely Christmas goodies -- you lead a charmed life, dear girl -- : )

I’m fine how are you. Is that thunder. I know it’s the kids upstairs roller skating. 🥴

Quick question for you: Have you always been this carefree with your crafting where little things don’t matter (e.g., slightly crooked edges, the little bit on the envelope flap your paper didn’t cover completely, etc.)? Is it the artist in you or does it happen over time? I ask because as a novice, I am so regimented, and treat everything like it needs to be perfect. It takes some of the fun & creativity out of crafting, but I just don’t know how to relax with it all. I am my own worst critic, I’m afraid. 😪

You have been practicing tearing tiny edges.

I sure hope the "you know what" isn't getting ready to start up again in the schools!!!!!!
